Loves Labyrinth CHAPTER 13
Irene pulls Tj away to the bar, the way she was fuming, you would think Chidi was her cheating ex. Once they were safely away from Chidi, Irene sat Tj down at the bar and ordered them both a drink. Tj couldn’t help snickering at Irene's irritation, she loved the fact that her friend was the most loyal person ever, twenty years of friendship and she honestly loved her a lot. With these thoughts she pulled Irene into a tight hug “Don’t worry you will soon be far from that bastard, and you'll marry your billionaire Korean boyfriend and have beautiful Blasian babies” Irene muttered as she squeezed Tj once more before excusing herself to the toilet and not even a minute later Chidi slid onto the bar stool Irene had just vacated, a wide smile on his face “Tejiri! It’s been a while, you look gorgeous as always" He greeted her as though they were long time friends. Tj looked at him with an irritated look on her face “The fact that I didn’t greet you nor acknowledge your presence on the dance f

It was an unusually cold day at the office for TJ. As she prepped the conference room for the call between her company’s staff and that of HYUN-TECH, her fingers trembled from the cold. A collaboration between both companies seemed underway, and her excitement was through the roof. If all was successful, it meant a trip to South Korea for a few weeks. The thought of that was enough to make her feel giddy all over. She had been a fan of the Korean culture for as long as she could remember, and a trip there was like a dream for her. When the meeting began, she sat at the table with her Galaxy Book 3 in place, taking minutes. Her boss, Mr. Bouche had his back turned to her and the rest of the team as he spoke to the CEO of HYUNTECH and his team through a large screen. She did her best to focus on the meeting, but her heart kept doing backflips in her chest at the excitement of the Korean trip. She snapped back into the meeting when she heard laughter. It seemed like the business talk

As the plane touched down at Incheon International Airport, Tj could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She was finally in South Korea! She was about to experience everything she had only ever seen on TV or read about in books. She felt like a child on Christmas morning, full of anticipation and excitement. She grabbed her bag from the overhead bin and made her way down the aisle of the plane, her steps light and airy. As she stepped into the airport terminal, she felt a rush of adrenaline. She was finally here! Tj’s boss, Mr. Bouche, hailed her over to him as soon as she entered the terminal. “Come on, Tj!” he said, a smile on his face. “We need to get going. We have a tight schedule.”Tj hurried over to him, a little breathless. “I’m here, I’m here,” she said, trying to catch her breath.Mr. Bouche laughed. “Good, let’s go.” He led the way to the black town car that was waiting for them outside. Tj followed, her excitement mounting with every step. As the car pulled away from

Tj was still reeling from the events of the morning as she sat down on her bed at the hotel. Just as she was scrolling through the pictures she took with jihoon , her phone started to ring. And of course it’s Irene, it’s clear she had already seen the pictures that Tj had posted on the gram. "Irene!" Tj exclaimed, her voice full of surprise. "You've seen the pictures yeah, can’t believe I got to meet the park Ji-hoon“"Bitch! Just one day in Korea and you are already meeting celebs!" Irene said, her Nigerian accent proficient due to her shock. "Oya, start telling me everything, where? How? And why?!" Tj was amused .She immediately ratted out all of the events that took places today. “Guy, I don’t even know this Hyun Byung-ho ooo, I was so shocked by the whole thing". “well maybe this Hot Ceo has a crush on you” Irene said. “I’m guessing after seeing your fair fine girl face through the screen he was hooked.”Tj blushing, replied her “well of course he would be interested ,” she

In the hotel room, Tj and Celia are pre-gaming before hitting the clubs. “ I am so not carrying you guys back to your hotel rooms so you guys better cool it with the shots" Marvy, the mum of the group cautioned. “ yea, yea mummy what ever you say" Celia and Tj replied giggling , it wasn’t their fault she decided to be the DD tonight. Tj was going to dance, drink and forget that gorgeous face that’s been stuck in her head all day . A chime on her phone signalled that their ride was here “Ok ladies let’s move out" Tj exclaimed with excitement and it seems she was a bit tipsy. In the car there was a lot of singing and giggling , the girls were ready for a wild night and ready to get lucky. The moment Tj and her friends stepped into the club, they were hit with a wave of energy. The music was pounding, the lights were flashing, and the people were dancing.

CHAPTER FIVE As Tj found her way to her sit on the plane sadness filled her heart, “Did I really have to leave this early?” she asked no one in particular. 18b, she had finally found her sit, she placed her hand luggage up in the rack and took her sit, she plugged in her air pods and began to savor her last moments in south Korea, “oh we’re sitting together” she shot her gaze to the person who had said that, Cecilia smiled at her and she smiled back, “I don’t want to leave” she muttered to Cecilia who was now sitting beside her “Believe me, after my experience in the club, I decided that I will never leave Korea , did you see those men? Did you pay attention to those abs? I’m just going back to L.A to get my stuff. I’m moving to south Korea” she dead panned, Tj laughed at her joke and she smiled. “You know what you should be worried about right now is the fact that Mr Bouche is flying business class and he has us flying economy’’ she scoffed “ right?

Two days before she had to leave, she was excited to enjoy a night out with the girls, she had prepared herself to drink the night way and use the whole day tomorrow to recover before her flight. That was the plan so why was Irene texting her to get dressed twelve hours too early, and she was coming to pick her up?. She decided to start getting ready then.Tj had just stepped out of the bathroom when she looked at the time and found that it was past one and Irene would be here in thirty minutes. She decided to throw on some light make up, she was still in the process of make up when she heard a knock on her hotel room door. When she opened the door for her friend, she was immediately hustled to get dressed “I can’t believe you’re still not dressed even when I texted you two hours ago" Irene said while ruffling through Tj’s box to pick up an out fit, she settled for a two piece – a blue maxi skirt, a white bralette top and paired the look with a black leather jacket and strappy sandals

Byung-Ho had been anticipating a reply from Tj as he had sent her an “I miss you text”, since she had sent him a text two weeks ago. Although it had been just a thank you message, it had opened up a conversation and he was happy that they were finally talking once again even though it was just basic conversations and she had requested that he stop sending gifts even though he had wanted to argue, he was smart enough not to start a fight when she had just started to reply his messages. He put a hold on the gift giving, the idea was to continue the gifting once they began dating.He had completely forgotten that he was at an event, not until a slender set of fingers with red nails tapped on his phone, which he had been concentrating on. When he looked up, there was a slender woman in a blue floor length dress holding up a champagne flute, she looked vaguely familiar but Byung-ho wasn’t sure where they had met. She held up her hand and introduced herself “annyonghaseyo hyon sonsaengnim j

With a click of her phone she began to have a similar conversation with her best friend because Nigerians are of course always dramatic no matter the age.Of course after all the celebrations had worn off Tj began to think about how this is going to be a new beginning for her and how she had to let in everything she’s got to make this work. Since this was a new branch they would have to begin doing interviews for new recruits and according to what her boss had relayed to her they had already gotten the building for the offices in order, they just needed staff to go with it. Tj was obviously not alone in this because she would be going with the Head of Legal, Celia Joffery, her friend and about five other directors. So for now they would perform some online interviews on the website created specifically for applicants from Seoul to fill up the remaining spots, which were few due to the deal which they had signed with HYUN-TECH earlier in the year, which gave them a few of HYUN-TECH sta

It had been three weeks since she had rejected Byung-Ho, she thought that would be the end but he had written an epistle of how he understands and would still love the chance to prove that he is a better man, he sent this as a note with a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates. He was relentless in his pursuit as he kept sending different gifts ranging from surprise lunches, flowers, cake, a paid spa day, bags, shoes her closet had multiplied and was looking too small for all the gifts. She even had to give some of them out but as the Nigerian she is, she never returned free gifts but she wasn’t replying his messages or emails or Skype requests.She was honestly contemplating blocking him but she honestly found it sweet that he kept doing all of this after she rejected him, at this point she was thinking about accepting him, with a sigh she continued typing up the document when the desk phone rang “Tj could you please come in for a moment" Mr Bouche requested before the phone clic

For the past week, Tj had been constantly going out on dates with Byung-Ho and she has enjoyed them all from the first dinner date, to the play they watched on the second, the bowling date where she laughed her ass out because Byung-Ho couldn’t bowl to save his life but he did save face when they tried out the basketball machine where he absolutely schooled her. He wasn’t a sore loser which earned him brownie points but he was heading back to Korea in a day and they had one more day to spend together before he left for home. Still reminiscing about her date, it was quite a shock when she suddenly had a face full of pillow she sputtered out a laugh before taking revenge and tossing the pillow back at Irene, it seems the force she used when she threw the pillow was too much cause it sailed through the air smacking Irene in the face and causing her to tumble off the bed. This promptly caused Tj to burst into laughter while Irene sputtered in disbelief and with a frown in her friends direc

The night sky looked exceptionally glittery today and with a click a gorgeous snap of the moon in a beautiful dance with the stars was captured. Dae-Hyun smiled as he sent the picture to Tj, he really wished he could go see her right now the sixteen hour time difference always affected her replies but he was glad he could still talk to her.He honestly should have followed his Dad but he didn’t want him to ask questions. When he and TJ got serious he would bring her to meet him officially. As his thoughts drifted he felt a cold substance on his face, with a startle he came back to the world to find everyone staring at him. He remembered he was at his childhood friend's home for a hangout. There was his best friend and the host Park Seo-Joon, Seojoon’s cousin Sonnie, Daniel his Dad's assistant and lastly Eunwoo. He had known most of these people all his life, well, except Daniel, he was a new addition and quite different from the rest and not just because he was gay, he was just very d
