SeonJae was leaning 2bef74c9ea back in his 699be627d8 chair with his c14ec03c71 hands clasped on c89a2ab59c top of his 28034a66a5 sturdy abdomen. His fingers were tapping 8a1bec71a4 against the back of 71e6d55d64 his hand.dff3c0f9f3ed3a1f

Section Chief Han, f6b9e455ed who was already af4e477ea0 showing gray hairs b0abb8d0a5 on his temples, 0634349853 closed his mouth.48ac8b5de0039cf4
SeonJae stretched df30e352b3 out his 38b35ff082 hand and 7c21ed87cf pulled open bf3ffa96a3 the second da759a9e99 drawer of d364df91dc his desk.

Expensive fountain pens 87d63900a2 and ballpoint pens 003ea69d07 were neatly organized f9964bb699 inside. He managed to easily 64c3b9c45f find a pair of a4d14e0cfe office scissors, but the 2029bf46ac blades were too thick 6b606f3e19 to effectively cut the 175e93f918 loose thread. He shut the cc028c6b27 drawer with a 42cc3c48ed thud.9d79767cf6e9aaa3

“The most important aspect of an outdoor wedding is the weather. Because of all the unknown variables, we’ve even avoided having it at the hotel garden, but now you’re telling me that you still want to move ahead knowing that it’s going to rain?”385ef6425bf913b4
Underneath his 25298aba0c perfectly styled 6429c7cfff hair, his c31a083ec3 brow furrowed 307dd1bfbf even deeper. The ends of his aeec7809a1 symmetric lips slowly went 6c6a16d79d up and formed his 0b0ba67b2d characteristic hateful smile.6eb643504a5b1371

He asked as he bb03e18525 wondered whether he should fccf6d8a28 call his secretary to 70a9a8e4ba get him some appropriate 413b8a4e84 scissors or whether he f1ef686236 should go up to cd05976898 his penthouse suite and 69932f1272 grab another shirt.6f057c1fdc94a41d

“We’ve poured millions of dollars into the interior decoration of the event hall. At times like these, we need to take advantage of that. YoungJin agreed when they signed the contract during the first negotiations, but now you’re saying we can’t change it. Does that make sense to you?”005ab880c4ead356

If he went back to his penthouse for another shirt, he’d have to pick another pair of shoes, pants, and a belt that matched it. He looked up at his large computer monitor and checked the time. The one thing he hated more than having a messy appearance was not being on time. He also did not want his father, President Min, to nitpick his work performance.a514e1df2b99456a
“That is… After the bride’s side personally met with the florist, they insisted that they wanted an outdoor wedding even if there’s a high chance of rain, so the hotel has been put in a difficult position…”813ebb228e7842ea

“Wait a minute. So are you telling me that the only freelancer not affiliated with the hotel has met with my $200,000 client and spoiled everything?”90d6447f668ab0bb
He finally 1959e8d499 took down 36b46db9f2 his long edef0d894a legs from d075093c85 his desk fce280e13e as he a53239328d scoffed.

“Rather than saying she’s an unaffiliated freelancer… She’s a florist that the bride’s side had specifically asked for, so there was nothing we could do. 6 months ago, you personally authorized this condition, so we broke the usual rule that this hotel does not associate with outside freelancers and drew up a special contract, sir.”68a2dbc6f7131e70

Before Section Chief Han b04178c123 could finish his sentence, c4ede45e21 SeonJae got up from dffeaf7934 his seat. The wheeled c181c76d84 desk chair 2d272b1cac that had d6d262ed2f been flown ffa723647b in from 0a98b266db Sweden hit 0e45b742bb the wall fb1805ae5f with a d0803da839 tap before 28797f02e8 it swiveled 672ffab2ff away.

He would often tell people that they should read the client manual whenever they got the chance to look in the mirror. If a restaurant got his order wrong, he would ask the manager whether he was smart enough to work here, and that he should just resign. However, his words weren’t just sarcasm. He would actually have the manager fired.8ec220b23011ad2e

He was ruthless when it came to work, and he would get nasty. When he was put in charge of the failing Rael hotel that was in danger of being sold off, he managed to rebrand it and brought forth a 300% spike in revenue within a year and a half. If it weren’t for this and the fact the Rael Hotel stocks were at an all-time high, the stockholders would have run him out of power a long time ago.f47a4019117099d2

Section Chief Han recalled the way SeonJae’s eyes had narrowed as he asked him to prepare for the dinner ‘meeting’ and couldn’t help the curse that left his lips. According to that man’s schedule, the only appointment he had tonight was dinner with his father, the president of the SeonJin Group. While President Min was the only person to whom the tyrant Min SeonJae would lower his head, the spite within his eyes could be seen very clearly to those watching from the sidelines.2cab54fe0cf0344e
