1:35 am. She had arrived on time, as always. Moon Byul-yi was a punctual woman and the lack of that quality in a person would often cause a very negative impact on her.

The thickness of her overcoat didnt prevent her slim body from freezing. However, waiting at a parking lot in the middle of the night was annoying enough to consider keeping inside the car. Even if it was a red Bugatti Chiron.

Two minutes later, a white Audi Cabriolet was parked beside her vehicle and a very classy and beautiful woman with short brown hair at chin length, dressed in a dark  Gucci suit with a dark brown overcoat walked towards Moonbyul and greeted her with a nod of her head.

None of them was very thrilled with the whole situation and the second woman checked her wristwatch just to confirm what both knew. The other women should also have arrived,

Moonbyul walked back and forth with her hands inside her pocket and the shorter woman glanced at her with some interest. However, she remained silent for around 15 more minutes until a yellow jaguar entered the parking lot at high speed and stopped on the opposite side, with strong flashy lights at them for a couple of seconds.

An extremely provocative and sensual brunette with curvy body and a sarcastic expression on her face walked all bouncy moving her hips inside her burgundy Versace suit and said:

__ I'm sorry I'm late.

__ No, you're not. You are just rude, as usual.__ The shorter girl mumbled while giving the brunette a very judgemental look.

__ Whatever, Jung Wheein.__ The curvy woman kept checking her own nails.

They all went silent again and stayed that way for more than 10 minutes and exactly when the taller woman with a handsome charm was about to lose her temper and leave, a metallic blue Aston Martin was parked beside the yellow Jaguar and a stunning black-haired woman wearing a black Prada suit got out of it and joined the other three with an arrogant look in her face.

__ Twenty-five minutes late?! You really have no respect for other people! Do you, Kim Yongsun?__ The brown-haired woman dressed in a dark blue Thom Browne masculine suit asked with a very low tone of voice.

The sophisticated brunette raised her eyebrows and replied with an equally low tone:

__ I'm a very busy woman. I had to cancel many schedules to be here. So...unless you want me to turn around and go, be quiet.

The shorter girl, called Jung Wheein put herself in front of the handsome woman, predicting things would get sour fast if she didnt intervene, and said:

__ We are all very busy and have more entertaining things to do than meeting each other. However, all four of us agreed despite all the reasons not to. So I expect that this doesn't happen again in case we decide to meet another time. I believe I speak for Moon Byul ssi too when I say I will not tolerate more lack of respect from Ahn Hyejin ssi or Kim Yongsun sii.

The four women exchanged a look of disgust but the late ones agreed with a nod of their heads. After that, the curvy lady asked the important question:

__ Can someone explain why exactly we are doing this? Why meet at a secret parking lot in the middle of the night as if we were criminals?

Moonbyul leaned against her car in a charming way and responded:

__ For over at least 200 years our families have swift from friends to enemies, enemies to friends, and frienemies in the middle of business and wedding arrangements. Even though some of them changed names, like the Ahns and Jungs, the tradition and the power have stayed the same. However, our parents have done some very bad choices that, along with a series of global market problems, affected deeply the home income.

__ Why is it any of my concern if you are having problems with your business, Moon Byul-Yi?__ The dark-haired woman asked with arrogance.

The brown-haired woman rolled her eyes and answered coldly:

__ I've been told for years that you have a brilliant mind and it seems I was fooled. No matter how much we all hate each other, our businesses are connected. Our families have control over politics, the economy, and much more. And it works both ways. When something goes wrong in the world, it affects us as much as it does when things are going fine.

__ And who are you to tell us what to do? I mean...your family doesn't want you at the head of the table.__The woman called Yongsun attacked.

The handsome woman smirked and spoke calmly:

__ Don't kid yourself, Kim Yongsun. Your family doesn't want you either. At least not at their leader. And you know why? Because you are a woman. They all want a male heir but your parents just had girls and the Jungs also had just a daughter. The Ahns can't put a child at the table and my parents...their only option is dead, as you are very aware of.

__ Whatever.

__ Actually she is right. Moon By
