Min Yoongi barely got any sleep. He was too wound up. Scared of what he had to do. He was in trouble here and needed to speak to someone he trusted. This had to do with the families and could unsettle everything – it could even lead to war. That was the last thing he needed, things were already tense between the five families that belonged to the Golden Quill Consortium.

Their ancestors formed the Consortium as a positive thing, but it was now being eroded by greed, suspicion, and jealousy. He had an extra long shower and dressed with determination. Maybe if he looked serious, he would feel confident. But seriously, why him? Why did he have to be the conveyor of bad news? Finally dressed he stared at his reflection and sighed heavily. He looked every bit the President of Emerald, the leading high-end retail chain in South Korea, but today he didn’t feel it. He felt insignificant against the wave of doubt that engulfed him. He glanced at his watch, it was time.
