[ Jung Enterprises ]

5:45 am

Arriving at your office, Jung Enterprises, you walk into the elevator, nodding at the reception staff as you press the 18th floor's button when an employee dashed into the elevator, panting heavily. 

'The one who joined last month? She was on leave for a few days, only a week after joining... Bae Seoyae, huh? What was her reason? Oh yeah, she was sick.'  You nodded slightly to yourself as she fixes her ruffled shirt. 

You glanced at her for a quick moment before looking away. "G-good morning Ms. Jung..." She said with a small smile, still struggling to catch her breath. 

"Morning." You nodded coldly not sparing another glance at her, Your face void of any emotions. She sighed. Your eyebrows furrowed the slightest bit. 

'Was that rude...?'  You thought then cleared your throat to say something you never thought you would say.

"How have you been doing Miss...? I heard you were ill." You looked at her coolly.

"I'm Bae Seoyae...And yes ma'am It was just a fever. I'm fine now. Thank you." She said with a small smile. You simply nodded, pursing your lips in a slight smile-like way. 

The elevator chimed, indicating it reached had the 18th floor.

Seoyae bowed at you as you nod again and stride towards the conference room number. 7

[Mrs. Jung POV] 

[At Mr. and Mrs. Jung's residence]

7:05pm

Won-Shik and Sooyoung called saying they wanted to talk to us today about Jieun and their son, Kim Taehyung. We wanted to get them married since they were young, but our decision grew stronger as we recently found out that someone was trying to hurt our daughter, for her company shares. It's impossible to know that and do nothing to keep her safe...  Won-Shik and Seung-Jae were partners, in both their businesses. My husband believes his son is warm and kind-hearted inside... Even though he behaves cold and harsh outside.

The doorbell rang twice as I and Seung-Jae looked at each other. 

I opened the door only to be hugged by my best friend, Sooyoung. 

"Myeounghaee!! Oh my god it's been a very long time!!" Mrs. Kim squealed as she squishes me in her hug. 

"Come in" I chuckled softly as I invited them in. 

Sitting on the couch, Mr. Kim asked, "Where's Jieun? Taehyung will be here in a few minutes he had to attend a call."

"Ah, Jieun's still at work... She might be back by 8:00?" Seung-Jae replied looking at me as if he was unsure whether his statement was right. I smiled softly and nodded at him. What a forgetful father is he... I sighed and shifted my attention to the door as we heard a soft shuffling noise from behind it.
