Marriage?

Real this time around

" i think we should revisit the family friendly events , fun fares and etc . This could boost our reputation, make this company what it used to be "

" youre kidding" nayeon fakes a laugh then stops

" im not " one of her close friends and also manager gave her a serious face. A look that said that she was not going to repeat this and that this should be taken seriously.

With a sigh nayeon nods " but you know why we stop with those .."

Ofcourse They did , it was no secret that nayeon was not family orientated . She didn't even have a love life.

" you made some faces at the last family event when kids approached you. Big deal. That was years ago. You've changed and even if you haven't. They don't know that "

" okay.. " nayeon glances at her secretary to write it down " get minas notes on this "

" thank you nayeon" mina smiles appreciatively. She's been bugging her on this specific topic every year and she knows that year by year nayeon rejects it. But this year , her reaction was less harsh and more accepting. Maybe it was towards the fact that profits were decreasing and bills were rising but never the less this was a good step forward.

" what about the lgbtq+ community nayeon? " another manager and close friend asked. Her eyebrows raised as if challenging nayeon to say no.

" what about it?"

" when you made that homophobic comment on twitter people attacked you and even if they are a small part of the general population and getting bigger. They are still people and people contribute to our profit "

" okay " she tapped her secretary's book to silently tell her to start writing " get jeongyeons notes on this too" she tells tzuyu who nods .

" now leave me alone " she waves them off. Sighing in her chair once everyone leaves.

" how are you going to do this ? " she hears. Well apparently not everyone has left.

" i don't know , ji"

" I know its been hard nayeon. The profits are low , expenses are high. We've let go atleast 4 people this week alone so far and that's not counting the previous months"

" you dont think I know that? " nayeon stands , giving jihyo a death glare " im Well aware"

" we've gone through numerous ideas , executed them ,got maybe some more people on our side. But maybe ,jeongyeon and mina are right. It's time to let people know you're no longer like you were previously"

" we both know I still am "

" but only we know that" jihyo approaches her, placing a hand on her elbow " you have your reasons. We understand but the people don't "

" how do you plan to do this then? Huh? We had to remove pictures of family , picture and videos of even two girls or two men hugging in our advertisement because of something my face couldn't control amongst other things. I get that its my fault. That the company had to suffer, that you guys had to suffer. I apologised ji. What else do you want from me ?"

" something " jihyo said " I hope you figure it out sooner.. we're crashing nay"

Nayeon spent day and night going through ideas, meetings , brainstorming with the others but it always came down to the same thing.

The past actions of the ceo of the company . She specifically and how the public would receive it. There were alot of pros and cons .

Days and nights became weeks and then a month , everyone of her managers looked exhausted. She herself was exhausted. Things weren't looking good.
But nayeon had one goal In mind. To keep the company going.
