“How impressive.” a man said while entering the conference room.
We’re having a company meeting. I presented my idea for the new project, then suddenly a man speak from the door. He look so powerful and intimidating.
“What are you doing here?” Duri asked the man.
“Why? It’s still considered my company right? He replied.
“Good morning everyone… I’m sorry for coming without unannounced.”
Everyone forced a smile, except for Duri.
“Cut the crap father. Tell me what you want and stop interrupting us here.”
I was stunned. He is Duri’s father? No wonder, the way he speak feels like Duri.
“I’m just paying a visit. I heard this branch keep going on top among all the branches we have.” he said while walking toward my chair. He sitted there and look at me smilingly. “Go on.” he ordered.
Suddenly I felt nervous. But I tried to continue with my presentation.
After the meeting adjourned. I’m about to leave the room like others did.
“Stay Mr Kim. Be sitted.” Duri’s father said.
For a minute I hesitate. “Anything I can do for you Sir?” I asked politely while Duri just observing.
“No. I just want to thank you for making this company profitable.”
“Sir, the CEO is the responsible for this.”
“I know but your strategy is impressive.” he said.
“T-thank you Sir.” I said while looking Duri.
“Can I treat you a meal?” he suddenly asked.
“Ah? N-no need Sir.”
“I hate rejection…” he warned.
I looked at Duri. He nod.
“W-well… if you have the time Sir…”
“Of course.” he said and raised in his seat. “I see you tomorrow night for dinner. I give you the address later.” he said smiling. “I’ll better go now.” he said and leave the room in a second.
“What was that?” I asked to myself whispering.
“Don’t mind him. He’s just an old annoying man.”
“CEO, what would I do?” I said worrying.
“Nothing to worry babe. I accompany you.”
Im already in my office but I still thinking about Duri’s father.
“Lucas?” I called.
“Yes, Mr Kim.”
“Come inside. Have a sit. I just want to asked you something.”
“What is it, Mr Kim?”
“What kind of person the CEO’s father?”
“You mean the Master, Sir?
” Yes. “
” I never get the chance to work with him, but Mr Mitto said once, the Master is like Boss. Scary and very intimidating.”
“Yes, I noticed that resemblance.”
“Don’t be afraid, Mr Kim. The boss will always on your side.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“The boss already alerted us about your dinner with the master tomorrow night.”
“What?! Why he did that? Did he forget that it is his father.”
“Well, no one can be trustful in this world, Mr Kim.”
“This is ridiculous! Do I need to be alerted too?”
“Mr Kim, in our world, we can’t trust relative. They always do thing to snatched the boss position.”
“I understand…like his cousin.”
“That’s right. Maybe this is also one of the reason why the Master came back all of a sudden.”
“Did I make a serious mistake?” I asked worrying. I’m referring about what I did to Haru in past.
“No. Mr Kim, you’ve done what you need to do before.”
