Time. Irene lacked time. After the accident, all she did was focus on her studies, deal with the business that was left for her to manage, tell and take care of her sisters, keep the house in tact--everything is just overwhelming. She didn’t have the time to process anything--she was just there, consumed by her responsibilities and duties as the oldest heiress.

“Hey…”

“Not now, Seulgi… I have a meeting with your father.” Irene spoke, tapping on her phone to call her secretary.

For a 16-year-old young lady, this task is a big one--imagine managing a company that leads the country when it comes to technology.
