Moments later I've arrived at my company. If I were to walk inside this building 2 years ago then I would be all smiley and lovely but now everything has changed

Everyone around me wants me for one thing, money. Just like how my mom never treated me as a daughter but instead I was treated like I was a money maker. If they don't want money then there's another thing, body

I don't know what happened that a woman that once was a passionate businesswoman became cold and lifeless

"Goodmorning ma'am" one of the employee greeted me smiling all lovely

Which I found disturbing, it was what life turned me into. A person who hated people that smiled in front of me but turns into something else when I turn my back away

I just passed by them, no greeting back nor even simply acknowledging it by nodding

"You know, you can be a little less cold" Jisoo said to me while tailing from my behind

"You know how I feel about that" I said as I continued to walk

I arrived at my office located at the most top floor of the building. Your woman needs to live by her reputation

"I thought my mom and dad would greet me here" I said to Jisoo as I noticed the lack of presence my parents announced earlier

Jisoo grabbed her company phone and checked if there's a message and indeed there is

"Your mom said that they'll come back this afternoon, they have to discuss something with Kai first" Jisoo said

"Feels like he's their son and I'm no one" I said as I sat down on a big ass leather chair

Jisoo gave me a sympathetic smile before heading towards her desk

Afternoon came by fast that one second came my parents in all glory with Kai and his parents too

"Jennie, my daughter" called the great Cora Kim, mother of Jennie Kim

I acknowledge their presence by nodding to their way and going to the small conference table located inside my humble office

"Goodafternoon mom, dad and mister and missus Kim" It's weird how my most despise person was surnamed like us, Kim

Perhaps, I always wanted to be not a Kim maybe by then I won't have to live by reputations

"Kai why don't you tell her the great news" my mom told Kai

"Yeah, so Jennie..." Kai started off and I'm sure that what he'll be announcing will definitely ruin my ruined mood "we'll be announcing our engagement 2 months from now"

"What?!" I practically shouted, not a practical thing to do when you're a 'perfect reputated woman'

"Jennie, calm down" dad said

"Jennie" mom said and I knew that voice, it was a warning

"Okay" I sighed in defeat "send the details through Jisoo"

"Kai is very lucky to have you as his fianceé" Mrs. Kim said

Great my freedom will be tied down by one again, if ever I even had freedom

"You may leave, if there's nothing to talk about" I said, completely not in the mood for this conversation

"Please excuse the behavior of my daughter" mom said to the Kim's

"That's okay Cora, it's late in the afternoon for sure she's tired" tired is an understatement Mrs. Kim

"Meet me later?" Kai asked me, the audacity of this boy
