Today is the D-day that the staff of KS Group are waiting for. All staff of KS Group are invited to the dinner. No one left behind includes the janitor, gardener and security guard. Everyone is excited to see the future heir of the leading business in Asia.

Irene, Solar and Eunbi arrived together at the hotel. When they walk through the main entrance, Irene noticed something suspicious

“Did you two noticed something?” she asking her friends

Solar and Eunbi look at each other then, shake their heads “No, what’s wrong?”

“The bodyguard out there. They seem familiar”

“Hm, maybe they are resemble the people that you used to meet”

“I think so” Irene shrugs then they head to the ballroom

They sit together with staff in their department. They wear the outfit that suits the dress code given in the invitation card. Their activity halted when MC announced Kang family arrival. Everyone stand up as the MC announce the entrance of their president and his family so their future CEO

Door opens revealing President Kang and his wife enter. They walk elegantly through the door, followed by their oldest daughter, Kang Yoona. President and his wife still looked young even though they are in middle-age. President Kang Siwon looked handsome in his suit while his wife looked gorgeous and elegant as always. The couple always look perfect in the branded outfit that they wear every day. Everyone acknowledge their children visual is decent from both of them

[President Kang Siwon]

[Mrs. Kang]

As for Kang Yoona, she gives out her goddess vibe as usual and her visuals always get praise from her staff. She looked good in any sort of dress that she wore. Her sweet smile makes her look gorgeous. Male staff admired his beauty but sadly no one was lucky to date her, even the executive staff. Everyone knows a lot of high ranking staff try to woo her but none of them accepted. She is a workaholic and has not yet thought about marriage. Besides, her age is still young so she want to focus on the business

[Kang Yoona]

Following Yoona is Kang Sooyoung, the youngest daughter of Kang. She walks in with her cold and elegant aura. She never fails to catch everyone's attention. In her family, she is the iest and fashionista. She often wears y dresses to attend functions or to the office. However, she will wear proper dress during important meetings. Though she looked cold and arrogant, she is very friendly and kind to her staff. No one ever expect the cold and arrogant face is actually warm-hearted girl

[Kang Sooyoung]

Lastly is the person that everyone is waiting for. He is no other than the next CEO of KS Group Group. He enters proudly with overflowing charisma, telling everyone that he is the next leader of Kang’s business empire. From every direction, he looked perfect without any flaw. The next CEO is truly a perfect human being. He looked handsome in his suit plus his muscular body and his hair cut properly give out more of young rich man aura

Behind him is his handsome secretary who looked charming and gentlemanly. Unlike Kang siblings, he walks with a friendly smile on his face. He is shorter than the CEO but still can melt a woman's heart. His masculine feature make him look stylish in his suit

Out of hundreds of people at the event, the most shocked was Irene, Eunbi and Solar since they saw the familiar figure. Irene's face changed from happy to puzzle as soon as she saw Seulgi enter followed by Seungwan. She does not expect that Kang Seulgi that she dated is actually her boss. He never tells her that he is the heir of KS Group. She thought Seulgi is honest, telling her that he is a barista. She is very disappointed and upset right now. If this is not a formal event, she will have already left the hall. Seulgi that she love so much indirectly deceive her

“Unnie, are you okay?” Eunbi who stand beside her, whisper to check her condition

“I’m okay” Irene answer faintly

“I’m sorry unnie. I really don’t know that they are members of Kang” Eunbi know Irene is very disappointed right now. She feel it too because Seungwan also lie to her

“Don’t apologize. You are also a victim of their lie. I hate this. Seriously” Irene grunt

Now everyone sits down on their chairs. MC call upon President Kang to deliver his speech and officially introduce his heir

“…now I officially introduce my sole son, Kang Seulgi, the main heir of KS Group and successor to the entire Kang’s business empire inside or outside of the country together with his sister, Kang Yoona and Kang Sooyoung. From next Monday, he will take over the business as the next CEO”

Seulgi stood up and bowed his head to everyone. Reporters take their chance to capture Seulgi’s picture for their news. This is one of the important moment and will be the highlight of the news

Then President Kang continued his speech “For his first assignment, CEO Kang will attend the launch of the first KS Fashion flagship store in Daegu which will be held on Thursday. He will go with Ms. Bae Joohyun who is the project coordinator as well as representing the members of the organizing committee of the event”

Staff that share a table with Irene look at her with jealousy because she will be the first person that works closely with their CEO. Everyone wants to be in her place but they can’t. It’s not their time yet

“Unnie, you’re so lucky”

“Aigoo Irene-ssi, you always the luckiest among us”

That is what her colleague said to her. She just responded with an awkward smile, trying her best to look fine. Meanwhile, Solar and Eunbi have different feelings. They know Irene is not as happy as she looks. From her eyes, they can see that she is not fine.

[At VIP table…]

Seulgi sits between Yoona and Sooyoung. While the others focused on Mr. Kang's speech, Seulgi looked like thinking of something. Suddenly, his bodyguard tapped his shoulder and then gave him jacket. Sooyoung distracted by the bodyguard presence

“What’s wrong?” she whisper

Seulgi gave the jacket to his younger sister “Cover your thigh. You’re wearing too short dress”

Sooyoung hesitantly take the jacket but still not covering her thigh “Oppa, it fine”

“No, cover your thigh or change your dress” Seulgi say seriously while his eyes still look forward

The youngest Kang doesn't have a choice but to follow her brother's order. She covers her exposed thigh and her face obviously frowning as a sign of disagreement because Seulgi is complaining about her dress. No one ever do that to her

“Don’t wear that short and revealing dress anymore. I don’t like it. Wear something decent. Do you know how many eyes are watching you lustfully?” Seulgi continue nagging at his sister

“Eomma and appa don’t have a problem when I wear short dresses. It is my style” Sooyoung rolled her eyes annoyingly. She don’t like it when someone suddenly give bad comment about her appearance

“They are not alert with the situation. I noticed it since I entered. Do you like it when a ert guy strips you with their eyes?” Sooyoung did not respond. Her mood has already dropped. Seulgi knows Sooyoung is sulking. He smiles shortly then fishes out his phone. He tapped the screen then show it to Sooyoung

“What?” Sooyoung respond nonchalantly

“I will buy this latest Cha
