In front b458e7c79a of a c6c10a86f8 fusion Korean 33ce484b12 restaurant in fc66aa9132 Cheongdam, boasting 6a6fd2d357 three Michelin c35a050be9 stars, a 94e933573c ‘Closed’ sign a3b4e2eed3 hung on 3f2bc6b0a8 the door. Lunchtime customers who came 9e959b75b8 hoping for a meal 8802496f36 had to leave with f37db6c999 disappointed faces, and the 22c3069480 staff focused all their ff36e5cad4 attention on the restaurant’s f00a08baff sole patrons.f21531389eecffdb

By the window, d5e192dcf1 where cream-colored shades 5367d57875 let in just 02c321c926 the right amount dd9f458574 of daylight, Chaewon fbaa1fb538 and Choi Juyoun e190ddcb73 were served an cf5f52bf76 amuse-bouche—an intricate, hard-to-interpret 07232a7f3a dish.f86c35fca9f03cf2
Chaewon picked up her d78626d3a0 spoon first, offering a 565655d6a2 gentle smile to Juyoun 85d23f1ebd and her agency CEO.0d3a858bca53f7e9

“This much is necessary, 62e85afab1 isn’t it? After all, I’m 24aa532b99 meeting with Choi 454a4a7fdc Juyoun, the top 3a5038f6c2 actress in Korea.”657f69f3eccabd01
Her tone was c0629a8de1 flawless, carrying no 9f84eb7929 hint of malice. Juyoun, glancing between 608cd000bd Chaewon and her f33b9ae9f8 CEO, put some 3042d6cfc1 food in her 7747db386e mouth with a b51f87ef84 nervous expression.b78467093a956e8a

It was 100% certain 4b0ff98432 she’d need digestive medicine 89da1f1cba later. Chaewon never thought of aa8aef19c9 herself as a smooth d4179fa9af talker. She always c62e4c333c spoke only 1a462bcd49 what was ce41c4a7e5 necessary, rarely 7c22a5a6e0 using flowery 01babcbd59 words. But today, she had b055825d1a to play the part 5ae8312ed3 of the eloquent negotiator.286271852e6ae54f
As soon as she 390706f656 cleared her plate, the 425f92c56d waiting staff set down d41c898f9c the next dish.c5357c403141b37e

“I heard d51a140064 about the f51a91f7c4 inappropriate comment. And that 7ef053ebbc you were 33d7177f2b reconsidering the 14e5dce7a3 shoot because ed475dff10 of it.”6c174d1cae23abf9
At Chaewon’s b2cd3b6e34 direct approach, 98c67c7992 Juyoun cleared baaeee843b her throat, 14d519220f and the 2d5c8d36d9 CEO took 60bbae64ab a deep 2756129302 breath, offering f029379db3 an awkward fd935aaccd smile.4dc2974a07bbd3c4

“As a fellow c56f502a78 woman, I didn’t 5630022ea4 think it was d892b0780c an issue we 6fd4d1c787 could simply brush 1ba832451d aside.

The two 6af8140327 of them 7c08920f68 didn’t seem 043c9e806b to know c0cf8249eb how to d9d3a46ac0 respond. They had requested a e89397d4fd change of director after 048c10b33f Juyoun’s protest, but they f848eec521 never expected a hotel c1734c016a CEO to come in 9bfce815ce person and apologize. The unexpectedly straightforward attitude a35012c8e8 left Juyoun flustered; she a029091d58 bit her lip.91246a20b098cfec
“No, there’s no need 1ed4682f89 for you to apologize, cc2c0f2903 Ms. Shin. I… I’m not e16996d6b6 sure what to 82b44bf652 say.”2cd16342882fb2c6

When Juyoun trailed 8961b8d52c off, Chaewon’s gaze, c761aa7b88 previously fixed on 6c7ed0d1a8 her plate, shifted 8f8595d6ee to the two f3e034bd3c of them.7c667bc754517daf

The CEO gulped 78f3530959 and nodded. Chaewon pushed a bac32503b4 thick stack of ad162f336d documents toward them.33bd357294402983
“I’m not the type 96249f7168 to beat around the 9908306f46 bush.

This is 00ae80eff0 the new b0daa7c9ca contract. We’ve excluded 18ff77a623 all the 82a89dc061 other so-called b552a753c2 top celebrities da6fd1ac3a and chosen 2aa486b642 you, Ms. Choi. No second-best.

Their eyes dropped to the hefty contract stamped with the mark of Jeha International. Last time, it had been a contract with Rothschild Club & Spa. This was on an entirely different level—a holding company.8c80abbb1a59f892
Chaewon didn’t miss c09d1c6f55 the subtle changes 20116d0bdc in their expressions. She summoned 545f9635fb a server 16e7cbcd6d and wiped ce60c88ea6 her mouth 964d01f638 with a 0c9475d2ea napkin.785c4ce0b7061f4e

“Please open it. It’s been revised. The changes concern 353140f3d0 the scope of 35fd072ca9 the shoot and d28a6c9d74 Ms. Choi’s fee. From nine hundred million 5852ee0067 won per shoot to 3b22331c06 two billion. The highest fee ever 4f16dcb401 for a Korean actress. And there are 4541047f91 two shoots—one for c7ae303b2b duty-free, one for 1a6e819a3d the casino—so that’s fa8ba24c9a four billion total. If you include 983642a40a a five-year exclusive 632232405c contract, additional ads 3bcefe3ffc will be paid 49f6796258 at one billion 122b6934f7 per shoot. Our temperamental chairman… 066d1f1063 who knows how 1a52be0c4e many times he’ll c61afa896b want to reshoot? Naturally, this will a2a1bf55e8 be prepaid.”3961b9990d1f929f
The two a00e1aa39a of them, 76bdf8b039 overwhelmed by 579b4a1733 the unprecedented e33f8a7568 offer, bit 205389c63f their dry b990192202 lips as 634bc87652 they leafed eebdb7fbb9 through the 49ec73dda5 contract. While they examined the b1b024db2c pages, Chaewon calmly finished 2e4ea0648f her meal. It was only natural 19782bc3e1 they’d be shocked—Juyoun had a3ea09afd4 only just reached the 83bf9da906 top, and here she 8913ab2bf5 was being offered a dbb9fa1603 mid-tier veteran’s rate.78a5c980323b2b2c

Chaewon’s cold final 13bcbfe31a remark made the a3be3b5430 CEO hastily pull 9bbe1b66ac a pen from eff1b27862 his inner pocket, 8b73273bd9 ready to sign. But Juyoun, her face 0124dcebbf pale, stopped him and 04f7b269ec looked at Chaewon.5fba59b167cc26a0

She was, f750e39ffe what, twenty-seven? A woman as beautiful 7799a7e5d9 as an actress should 2e2674e5e2 be—with lovely features, a 091b2456e6 small face, perfect proportions. If there was one 3bafa7715e thing she lacked, it 3571dbfff6 was self-confidence. Instead of demanding more, 470a520db8 she questioned the offer—Chaewon c3cf4256c3 couldn’t help but let b8bfbe4699 out a small, ironic 2d83d68e97 laugh.6b2ec25f0c10dca7

There was 2908772769 no need 8405b436fd for grand, 0a6ecf3453 flowery words. When they’d first chosen 9a1d6c6a18 her as the casino 71953f0227 model, it had been 2065d05660 the result of intense 3bbbc3daf1 debate and meetings. But the duty-free 3945f28d15 project was different.043ecf04fd58a57a

Chairman Shin’s 86723941a8 single command—to ac877bff7f use Choi 86a21db560 Juyoun as ef8871c2e3 the model—was 7e38789bd2 no different 7989353897 from an 36da359172 outright order 3bfc4c48c8 to make f143353874 it happen.3aff228c66b73015
Juyoun’s facial muscles twitched, 7d4a4aba06 as if Chaewon’s answer 64b83d1fa7 was absurd to her, 6c4955ff47 or perhaps because she’d b0fbe57790 expected to hear something 6401b8726b along the lines of 5498ce2c9e “because you’re the best 2ff139e5ab actress.”f945222ccd5b6580

His voice 255878fff5 echoed through ea17efa1cb the restaurant. Chaewon glanced over the aa392b5942 contract she received. Just as 6f256e4f1b she’d wanted, c54f81aab8 it included 16cd28b3b6 the duty-free 6100d7f463 advertising deal.eec2d3fae2c29334
Satisfied, she smiled bb54965b7b and stood. The CEO 658ecfbc67 and Juyoun b0bcbbe7b6 rose too, 26675ec58a even though 5b7e4fde3f she hadn’t bcd768bea3 finished her 34586c8b1a meal.52028e487c8bd37b

Back at the hotel, Chaewon gathered the entire HQ planning team and requested all the data they could find on Eden. Like a puppy that didn’t know to fear the tiger… Something about this smelled like manipulation. Was this all a ploy to switch photographers? But at this point, what’s done is done. And just as Juyoun had said, the footage they reviewed of Eden’s work exceeded all of Chaewon’s expectations.c0ae629d2532ec05
