Mr. Tycoon's Woman||PJ&RP ✔️

Chapter 88: 8 Billion Instead of 800 Million

She nodded her head. Before she left, she silently watched as he began to examine the contract. Her keen eye picked up a small detail on the contract and spoke up.

"Sir, there's an error there." She said, pointing to the page that he was currently on.

"Where?" He frowned as he went over the same page in the contract again. He didn't notice any visible errors in the paper.

Kang Seulgi walked behind the desk and stood right beside him while placing a hand on his enormous leather chair as she pointed out the figure she was referring to.

"There's an extra zero here which would give them the budget of 8 billion, instead of 800 million." She was confused at how he didn't see the glaring error.

Park Jimin barely paid any attention to the documents he had been signing. He had stayed up all night, reminiscing on the past and how disappointed he was at the anticlimactic ending of his childhood affection.

He had managed to tune out snippets of her life that his sister would occasionally mention during dinner at the main mansion. He only stepped in when Yang Marco had decided to sever all ties with the Jeong family.

Their unplanned reconnection after years of no contact had enlightened him. It was a pleasant surprise to see that she had evolved into an outstanding woman, and his forgotten feelings had come surging back in full force.

His head kept replaying the memory of her taunting words. After all of his attempts to pursue her, she still had the audacity to say something like that? He gritted his teeth when he thought back to her words that were like a harsh slap to his face.

Being the king of both the business world and the underworld, he had made sure that everything that comes out of the media about him passes through Kim Namjoon. All the previous headlines about him and his 'mystery' woman had his approval after all. In fact, he has kept a copy of all their stolen photos together.

His right-hand man had been intuitive enough to add news about Rosè Yang to their watch list. This is how he had gotten a pile of unsavory photographs to look at the moment he got to the office this morning. It was enough to send his blood boiling and his fingers itching to hurt something. Preferably, to beat that man down to a pulp.

"Sir?" Kang Seulgi called out to him, perplexed to see him spacing out. Her boss rarely did that...It seemed he was really strange today.

Park Jimin angrily pinched the spot between his brows, his jaw clenching in annoyance. The more he thought about Rosè, the more he grew annoyed. That foolish, stubborn, stupid woman! He wished he could stop thinking about her already.

"What is it?" He seethed, forgetting why Kang Seulgi was even behind his desk. He was so distracted by the thought of Rosè that he didn't realize how close she was standing to him.

"There's an error here." She repeated with her hand still on the paper.

Park Jimin looked down and sure enough, there was an extra zero. How did he not catch that? This was the most important page and he barely gave it a thought when he signed it.

Letting out a tired sigh, he ran a hand through his hair. He barely slept a wink last night, thus, he was forced to function on just two hours of sleep.

Kang Seulgi snuck a glance at her handsome boss. She always thought it was strange how he treated her better than most of his employees. Her colleagues had all pointed it out before. They would tease her that it was because he liked her since she was never in danger of being fired or harshly scolded. Not even the Ice King, Kim Namjoon , had disciplined her before!

Unknowingly to her, Kim Namjoon had only ignored her mistakes because he knew his boss's plan of organically growing his own subordinates.

Park Jimin only favored her a bit more than the rest of his secretaries because her behavior and attitude truly resemble that stubborn child from the past...

Kang Seulgi bent down a bit to properly examine the contract. "Oh, there's another one here." She said, pointing to the top of the page. Her hair fell beside her face, and she pushed it back, revealing her tiny face and sharp jawline. With her neckline revealed, a soft and sweet scent exuded from her, but Park Jimin didn't even notice it.

Park Jimin tilted his head to look at where she was pointing at and sure enough, there was another one. He didn't realize that by leaning to get a better look at the paper, their proximity seemed intimate. She was basically hovering over him but his brain was too cloudy to even realize that.

Just when Park Jimin saw the error, the door to his office opened and what greeted him was the sound of something hitting the floor.

He turned his head and his eyes flickered with surprise upon seeing who had just arrived. He stared at her, mouth slightly parted. He had never seen her in casual clothes, but not surprisingly, she looked beautiful in it. The purse hanging on her shoulders particularly suited her. It was the one he had gotten for her that she stubbornly tried to return to him. It was the first shot that started their gift war.

He was once again, awestruck by her. But she wasn't looking at him. Her face turned stone cold, her eyes reflected a sense of betrayal at the familiar scene before her. A painful memory flashed across her mind quickly followed by many more, and soon, she was reminded of something she desperately wanted to forget...
