Early in the morning at Black Velvet dorm

The girls are eating their breakfast peacefully when their leader comes while reading the text on her phone. Her expression is really serious and her member assumed that there is something important. She takes her seat at head of the table and gained her members attention

“Girls”

“Yes unnie”

“Platinum sends a meeting roster to our manager this morning and oppa forward to me just now. Sam Studio will have second slot of meeting in 10 AM so they asked us to drive directly to the Platinum office later since we don’t have early schedule in agency today”

“Okay” everybody said

 “It must be urgent” said Jennie

“From what shown here, it looked like a meeting day at Platinum today” Irene show her phone screen to her members

“What's worse is today is Monday. It really . I’m having Monday blues today” said Seulgi

“I expect this to happen but I don’t know it will be this early. He’s not around for three weeks so he said this week will be very busy. He catch up everything that he missed” Jisoo reasoning

“Your boyfriend is committed to his work” Irene commented

“True, not only him but his dad and his sisters too”

“You met his family already?” Jennie teasing Jisoo who slightly blushing

“Yeah, last weekend when they come to New York”

“Are they playful like Rozayn too?” Irene asked

“Yes, everyone is very friendly but when it comes to business, no joking for them. I have goosebumps when I heard how they talk about their business” Jisoo said in scary manner

“Are they that scary?” Yeri curious

Jisoo nods her head “The scariest is his older sister, Rachel Samuel. Last year she almost makes their rival bankrupt because they play dirty with Platinum”

“Wow, daebak!” the girls said in amazement

“But they are very friendly and warm like you all see Rozayn. His sisters are fans of kpop and kdrama. They envy when Rozayn chosen to lead Platinum Korea but he don’t know anything about kpop'' Jisoo chuckle

“They have their fun side too” Irene giggles

“Yup, they even asked me to bring them to our agency to meet our sunbaenim. They are our fans too”

“It’s cool if we can meet with your sister-in-law, unnie” said Jennie

“Don’t worry, one day they will come here. I guess the family is on a business trip now. Currently they are busy at Platinum Global. They talked about something very serious last time which I don’t have idea about what it is”

“You must be dumbfound” Seulgi nudging Jisoo side

“True, I’m totally clueless. Luckily his mom is there talking with me while the rest talk about work”

“His mom is not working?”

“No, she just goes when necessary. She said she prefer stay at home, cooking for her husband and daughter”

“What a good mother”

“She’s very humble even she is wife of business tycoon” Yeri commented

“You’re right”

…………………………..

Everybody gathered at the grand meeting room at Platinum building that Black Velvet never entered since they started working with that company. Entire staff of Sam Studio are there with files in front of them. They are busy doing the last preparation for their documents before their boss comes to start the meeting. Every eyes look to the door that just opened revealing Leo and Sharon followed by Victoria, Leo’s secretary

“Good morning everyone” Leo greet them

“Good morning Mr. Manoban”

Then Leo takes a seat on his respective chair. His secretary sits on his left while Sharon sits on the empty chair that is 2 seats away from them on the right. Few minutes later, door open again and they stand up because the big boss arrive with his secretary, Im Nayeon

“Good morning everyone” Rozayn said sternly while his jacket

“Good morning sir”

“Have a sit and meeting start” everyone take their sit

Rozayn clasped his hands on the table then took a deep breath “First and foremost, is there anything that I missed while I’m away? If you guys have problem or whatever, please let me know. Mr. Kim, do you have problem in your team?” he looking at one of his staff

“Everything is going well, sir. We don’t have any problem”

“Good” Rozayn smiles then his eyes turns to other team leader “What about your team, Ms. Kwon?”

“My team only have a little problem with recording device that suddenly malfunction last Thursday” Ms. Kwon said

“Did you fix it already?”

“Yes sir, it was sent for repair last Friday. They will deliver it here by tomorrow”

“Okay, next is Ms. Sharon. Report in” Rozayn looking at Sharon

“Entire process of our project is going smoothly. We will proceed with promotional video and photoshoot after you sign some documents”

Rozayn nods his head “Alright, send the document to Ms. Im after the meeting”

“Noted sir”

“Same goes to the other team, if you all need my sign, make sure submit the documents to Ms. Im then she will call you all once it done”

“Noted sir” they staffs said

“Now Black Velvet and managers, anything that you guys would like to let me know?” Rozayn smile

One of the managers answers “We’re on good track, sir. The girls will perform in few music shows, interviews and photoshoot but their schedule arrange well”

“Good to hear that. Make sure the schedule not too tight for the girls”

“Okay sir”

“Sir, three boutiques submitted their proposal for the girls outfit during the promotional shots. Shall we hand it now or just give it to you later?” Sharon asked

“Just give it now” Rozayn said

Sharon signaled one of the staff to give the file to Rozayn and they handed it to him. The boss flips open one of the files and reviews the content. Sometimes he talks with Leo and they discuss something.  After that he proceeds with the second file and both of them look at each other. Rozayn sighs heavily and puts the file to the other side. He opens the last file and examining the papers inside

“Alright, after reviewing the proposals I will reject the one from J’s Atelier. The outfit is too y and revealing. The design is all good but it’s too much for my liking. We aim this movie for children so this kind of clothes is not suitable for their level, understand?”

“Yes sir”

“Good, this one is rejected” Rozayn put the file to the side then grabbed another file “I accept this one that is from B&E. They design decent clothes and are suitable to wear. Proceed to discuss with them soon as possible”

“Okay sir” the staff said

Then Rozayn grabbed the last file that he tossed earlier. He stands up from his seat and shows the file to his staff

“This one is from RX Boutique. I don’t want any connection with this company” Everyone pays full attention to Rozayn “Whatever offer, proposal or investment from this company, just reject it right away. I don’t want Sam Studio or Platinum Korea to be involved with them. They won’t give us benefit and will only have dirty agenda towards us” Rozayn sternly looking at his staff, managers and the idols

“Their headquarters is REX Holdings that is based in Las Vegas. This one is their subsidiary. That company won’t use any name other than REX or RX” Leo added

Then Rozayn continued “The entire Platinum Group subsidiaries and branches including Platinum UK and Platinum Global are blocking their way so from now on we will do so. I don’t want to see any of their files in our company anymore. Our IS team will dig more about REX subsidiaries, especially the ones that are in Korea. They will notify every department about the information so you all please take note. If you find that they are trying to get involved with us, just turn it down. If they are stubborn, bring them to me, understand?”

“Yes sir” everyone said loudly

“Good” Rozayn sit back on his chair but not before he ripped off the documents in front of the staffs and tossed it inside trash bin “Before I forget, two weeks from now the Chairman together with President of Platinum Group along with CEO of Platinum UK will come here for two weeks business trip so they will check our progress especially the current project. Make sure to finish every report or task that is unfinished. I don’t want to hear any bad comments from our boss. Write your report properly because Ms. Reese Samuel, the head of Sam Studio, wants to see it. I trust that you all will do your best to present your work. You have two weeks to get everything ready”

“Okay sir”

“As for Black Velvet, our boss also would like to meet all of you. Ms. Im will arrange the schedule then she will inform your manager”

“Noted sir” Irene the leader said

“Good” Rozayn smiles at Irene “That’s all important information from me, am I making myself clear?”

“Yes sir”

“Alright, now we proceed with presentation of our project progress”

“Okay” Leo stands up and connects his PC to the projector then proceeds with his presentation. The meeting last for three hours straight

………………

Black Velvet members settle in their car after the meeting finishes. Everyone stretching their body since they need to sit in meeting room for quite long

“Aigooo, my feels numb” Jennie whining

“This is the first time we are involved in a long meeting. Usually our meeting will take one hour” said Seulgi while she start the engine

“It feel horrible than our practice” said Jisoo

“You’re right, unnie” the maknae said

Irene turned back to look at her members “Hey, it is the first time I saw Rozayn look really serious and scary. Usually he is very cool like first time we meeting at our agency”

“It’s my first time seeing him like that too” Jisoo comments

“He is very charismatic” Seulgi said

“That is how it looked like when he gathered with his family and they talk about business”

“He has the aura” Yeri said

Seulgi slowly drove the car passed by the main entrance. She stops when Rozayn holds out his hand. He greet them with big smile when he approach them leaving Leo who busy talking with someone on the phone

“Hey girls”

“Hi boss” the girls waving their hands

Rozayn chuckle “Are you all going home?”

“No, we go to eat before return to agency” said Jisoo

“Where is it?”

“Don’t know, just anywhere Seulgi unnie will drive us” everyone cackle

“Wow Seulgi brother, are you their driver now?” Rozayn bump fist with the bear

“I’m a father in this family so I in charge of father’s duty”

“You’re a good father”

“Where are you and Leo going?” Jisoo asked

“We have lunch meetings with clients later. Right now still waiting for Nayeon to get some documents upstairs” Rozayn sighs

“Make sure you eat a lot”

“Okay boss” Rozayn wink

“Such a long day, huh” Irene teasing Rozayn

“True, a very long and tiring day for the first day after a getaway. For the first half of the day, I do nothing but meetings, then lunch with clients. After that, I have a briefing with my staff. Tomorrow early in the morning will have video conference with my dad and my sister”

“Oppa, you should rest” Yeri said

“Sure sweetie, I will take rest later”

“You better do” Jisoo said

“Yeah, I will go home late today. I’m sorry” Rozayn looking at Jisoo
