Jessica is reading the report from her field crew. Chanyeol is a part of production team, below Jessica’s direction and last month she assigned a new task to him. For being a spy or whatever it called

The truth is the troubled purchase which makes the office went to crazy for a while is pointed to one source, Taeyeon’s office

Blanc & Eclare were acquiring many small firms or offices like Taeyeon’s family business nowadays, since Yunho, Rain, Hae In, Leo and Jessica, the third generation of Jung family, being the directors of B&E. If there’s something wrong with one of them, the upper office will be taking care of it in the meantime. It takes one to three months, usually. But this problem is haunting the empire for about six months

Wait, it same with the engagement time of Jessica and Taeyeon

Jessica rubs her temple while realizing the fact, the more she wanted to know, the more the facts are cornering Taeyeon and her family

“Screw that!” Jessica slaps the files which makes Chanyeol flinched

“I’m…”

“OMG, Chan. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you” Jessica apologized to her subordinate

“It’s okay, Miss Jung. Baekhyun and I were tried so hard and this is what we got”

“You guys did great” Jessica smiled, “Now dismissed. I’m sure Rachel had something to do with you”

Hearing his team leader name from Jessica’s mouth makes Chanyeol grinned. His boss is too kind and sincere, she never crossed the line even though she’s on the upper office, even right above Rachel, his team leader

“I’ll take my leave, Miss Jung”

“What happened?” Jungkook suddenly stops Chanyeol who just left Jessica’s room. Well, different with Chanyeol who had his own team leader, Jungkook with Tiffany and Taecyeon are under Jessica itself since they are creative team of B&E

“OMG you scared me, kid!” Chanyeol scolded Jungkook who just grinned innocently, not far from him, Taecyeon is smiling widely, indicating that he also listening, “Well, Miss Jung was asked me about the odd purchase which troubled company past six months”

“What did you find?” Taecyeon asked

“Same as before, the odd purchase always came from Kim’s office, which their finance team never sent the financial report right at the deadline” Chanyeol whispered, scared if someone might overhear them

“I think that is the reason why Jessica was being so stressed nowadays” Taecyeon added, “It related to her fiancée”

“But, I’m sure that Taeyeon-ssi is harmless. I mean, look at her works so far. They always satisfy the upper office” Jungkook chimed in, in which Chanyeol and Taecyeon agreed

Well, let’s see the development of this case” said Chanyeol, “Ever since I worked here, this is the very first time that the upper office can’t find the solution about the lower office’s problem”

********

Taecyeon is right, the problem is disturbed Jessica’s mood so much. She often scolded her team, usually she ignored it. She seldom being y and chewing out around about the mistake that her division or her team did.

Like now, on the meeting about the summer product, Jessica is scolding Rachel Park, the team leader of production team because she can’t present their result about vendor

“Just go and leave my room!” Jessica howls and Rachel immediately taking long strides with Chanyeol and Baekhyun, with a bug question on Chanyeol eyes since her boss was kind three hour before and now, the wrath is coming to them

“Tiffany!”

Okay, it’s the creative team’s turn

The peculiar thing is Tiffany just crossed her arms and clicked her tongue, meanwhile Taecyeon and Jungkook are scared to death

“Are you trying to picking up fight with me?” Tiffany asked, her tone is mocking Jessica

“What are you thinking?! As a copywriter, is that what you can do?” Jessica once again throws the paper at her hand to the desk

Different with Rachel who admit her guilt, even she just partly at fault, Tiffany is fighting back

“Why? Do you want me to do more? Because I’m Taeyeon’s ex?”

Taecyeon and Jungkook turned their head in horror, Tiffany is playing with fire at this time

“Tiff…” Taecyeon shifted his seat to pulls Tiffany but the woman already stood up and glaring at her own boss, well she will screw them up

“You are being unprofessional now” Tiffany drops the bomb. It clearly, she’s at fault since she didn’t finish her task smoothly but Jessica is furious today.

“Hyung, they can kill each other” Jungkook whispered, the air between them is suffocating the rest

“It looks like…” Taecyeon sighed, these two women are so stubborn

“Get out!” Jessica pointed at Tiffany, “As your boss for about five years, this is the first time I found you disappoint me and not even feeling guilty!”

“And this is the first time you are being so unprofessional because of your fiancée” Tiffany slammed the table, Jungkook even choked on his drink

“Leave” said Jessica in her cold tone

“As you wish, Miss Jessica Jung” Tiffany snickered and leaving the room

Taecyeon sighed when Jessica also stomped her feet and leaving the meeting room. He hurriedly scans his phone and hoping that he saved Taeyeon’s number

*******

Taeyeon yawned after checking the first part of the MV for Red Velvet. The outdoor filming is done by two days ago and it’s time for her to check the result

“You always bored at the time like this” said Heechul when Taeyeon stretched her neck and her arms

“You know me” Taeyeon laughed, “How’s Yuri and Amber?”

“They said about editing some part when Irene and Wendy sing”

“Yah, were they too subjective?” Taeyeon pouted, “Irene’s smile was captivating them”

“It’s just you who being immune from Irene’s smile, Tae” Heechul chuckled, “Even Minah said that Irene is so ing beautiful”

“Don’t start” Taeyeon raise her fist mid air

“I know I know” Heechul laughed again, “How about the filming venue? Did you find it?”

“SM gave us. I think Yeri is busy with the deal right now”

“Got a great secretary then” Heechul teased

“Indeed” Taeyeon feels like her phone ringing, she excused herself and found that Taecyeon is calling, “Taec?”

“Hello, Taeyeon! I just want to know, are you busy?”

“Work as usual, why?”

“Just, Jessica is throwing tantrum since the morning and she’s even…” Taecyeon hesitated for a while, “Fought with Tiffany”

“Is there anything wrong with the work though?”

“Well, it was partly Tiffany’s fault but she accused Jessica was being unprofessional because she was your lover”

“For the Athena sake” Taeyeon cursed, “Was that bad?”

“You know both of them” Taecyeon chuckled, “Well, Jessica just threw the report right at my face before she locked herself at her room”

“I’ll take care of her”

“You should be”

“Been there right at the end of office hour, like…” Taeyeon takes a glance at her watch, “One hour again”

“Sure, Tae”

“Thanks, Taecyeon”

“You are very welcome”

Taeyeon called Chansung for going home since she will pick Jessica up. The driver isn’t asking more and just obey the command

Taeyeon tried to knock and Seohyun just said that Jessica is locked herself from this afternoon.

“Baby?” Taeyeon called Jessica’s phone, “I’m just outside your room”

“Ok” Jessica replied and Taeyeon heard the unlock sound from the door. Jessica is showing up, her face is flushed red but there’s no tears stain on her cheek, was she wipe it or she just not crying?

“Are you…”

“Do you pick me up?” Jessica cuts Taeyeon’s words, “Chansung texted me that you will pick me up”

“Ah, yes” Taeyeon can feels Jessica’s scary presence through her tone. It’s so… cold and scary at the same time

“Let’s go home. I’m tired” Jessica takes her bag and going outside

“Sooyeon” Taeyeon tugs Jessica’s hand right when the younger girl walking past her. It’s still early so almost all of workers still on their seat, watching their interaction

Jessica was about to opens when Taeyeon intertwining their hands, rubbing her palm with her thumb and smiling

“Let’s go” said Taeyeon after Jessica relaxed on her touch

“Sooyeon, what’s happened?” Taeyeon asking while driving. Jessica just shut from the time when they left the office

“Nothing. Some troubles happened”

“Someone told me that…”

“Are you hiring private investigator now?” Jessica narrowed her eyes to Taeyeon, in which Taeyeon just gulped because Jessica is so scary right now. It feels like if she said the wrong thing, she will be courting to death

“No, I just… I just” Taeyeon shuttered, she never be the submissive one at the relationship. Well, she’s whipped but not being controlled by her partner

Taeyeon turned her car and parked at the sideway. Jessica shoot another glare and again, Taeyeon just gulped her saliva because of her nervousness

“Baby girl…” Taeyeon spoke, “Is there anything wrong that related to me?”

Jessica sighed loudl
