18. Old Times

"Oh what's the sorry worth it when you haven't changed your ways. Still you don't know how to put boundary between yourself and others."

"Don't be inexorable. Jimin is not....."

"Inexorable..... Hah? I said leave my wrist and shut the fuck up." Seokjin jerked away his arm from Namjoon's grip and walked away leaving fazed Namjoon behind.

"Atleast give me a chance to explain Seokjin." Namjoon sighed.

Taecyeon's shiny leather boots made sound while he walked on tiled floor. He made an exit from his office with a target clear in his mind, that was CEO's office. People who are focused on bring other's downfall can go to any extent. He is one of them and today he was eager to get clearance from the director.
He went inside the office before he could barge into CEO's office his secretary came between him and door to stop him.

"I need to see him."

"Sir you can't go inside like that. Do you have an appointment with him?"

"I am director. I don't need an appointment."

"Let me cross check with him then you can go in."

She walked back to her reception and made a call.

"Mr. Ok you have to wait for half an hour. He is in a meeting."

Taecyeon scoffed walking back and sitting on couch in the waiting area. He kept on looking at time as if it would pass hurriedly by looking at it.

"Mr. Ok you can go inside now." the secretery announced.

"What? You said he was in a meeting I didn't see anyone coming out." Taecyeon spoke.

"I uh...." before she could complete Taecyeon was long gone.

"You made me wait on purpose didn't you?" Taecyeon spoke furiously.

A mocking chuckle was heard "If you already know this then you shouldn't have waited....." CEO spoke turning around his revolving chair.

If Taecyeon didn't have an ulterior motive he would have humiliated this person right then and there but right now he had to control to make this work. So he smiled faking it genuinely." Oh Mr. Min it was really important that we have this meeting."

"And what that might be?" Yoongi raised his eyebrow.

"I have a suspicion, I need your help to bring truth to light." he said.

Yoongi was now bored listening to this man, "To me you are the suspicious one anyhow go on?"

"It's about Dr. Jeon."

"Who the one who was working on some human robot.?" Yoongi said as if didn't know anything.

"Yeah. Mr. Min, I think he is hiding the truth from us. He has already accomplished the project and he is keeping it to himself. Something doesn't add up."

"How does that concern me?" Yoongi questioned.

"I mean it was the project with government that is funding a huge amount for your building yearly. Don't you think if this is hidden and purposefully delayed. Your funding by the government can be halted."

"Hmmmmm...." Yoongi hummed. "What you want me to do?"

"He has been successful in making that robot and I am sure that it is in working condition already and Dr. Jeon is keeping it hidden from us purposefully. I need your permission to search out his lab unannounced."

"And what's your benefit in all of this?" Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows.

"Umm... Me... I... There us no benefit for me. I am just doing it for this Tower's reputation. You know we are number one when it comes to advance technology and robotics. And.... What Dr. Jeon is doing might taint the image."

"Yeah you are right.... Then why don't you do something of your own to take this tower towards the new horizons of success? Instead of sniffing into other people's business?" Yoongi mocked him with a straight face.

"I respect you but you are crossing your limits Mr. Min."

"Don't think that 2% share of your's is holding me back from throwing you out of this building." Yoongi smirked.

Taecyeon banged his bith palms on the table and growled, "You are making a mistake Mr. Min. I hope you won't regret." he knew that he failed convincing Yoongi to side with him. It was in vain to talk further so he left.

"I don't know who long I have to deal with such a bitch." Yoongi mumbled tapping fingers onto halographic screen to make a call.

"Mr. Min Good Afternoon."

"Cut the crap Jeon. Watch your back that Taecyeon bitch is suspicious of you." Yoongi said.

"Yeah thank you for heads up."

"Nah Jeon it's for the sake of old times." Yoongi smiled remembering some memories as he cut the call bringing himself back to work.
