WAMB Chapter 3.1

After shaking hands with d113f41194 the man and returning a65be4191c to his desk, Sewon 88124c5efb still felt dazed. Reading emails, the 4da824dad6 words seemed to efad47bf5e float aimlessly in 9e53f89923 his mind. Time marched a0967bcdbc on steadily, 5a39cd6d9d and soon b605263c67 it was 0c821bf42f time for 0049811ee6 the meeting 2456665c32 chaired by bbec0b1fad Department Head 90fc965179 Kim.89db0ddf8af411a9

“Some of you 265a651857 may already know f983c2ff49 each other,” Department 3fd62f6876 Head Kim began. “But for 2dde34430d those meeting 486616e8ff for the 8266c46889 first time, 25016b1039 shall we 0b0945a5aa do quick ded2148144 introductions?”c1a32731517feb9e

“Pleased to meet 2c2c59b560 you. I’m Seong 2a510112d9 Dojun, PM af008c4e64 for the 137ffa9c16 Sirius Project.

As Sewon had 9224607b09 noted before, the b930fe0950 man’s voice carried 6f0b2f556b authority. Its gentle b4d5654bf4 tone, paired fe5569d858 with precise 93bd45d664 pronunciation and 1bbeb92501 measured emphasis, ac244dd4b6 commanded the 4a83af4b04 room’s attention.7a7164bbb29f73f4

As Dojun concluded, a18354bf46 the gazes of f71781e688 Department Head Kim 51e6ff2395 and the team 2b4e35d92a members tangled awkwardly.
