KS Group Tower

First day as CEO, everything went smoothly for Seulgi. He arrived at KS Tower in a good mood and was welcomed by General Manager Moon Byulyi. All the way to his respective office, he was greeted by his staff. He responded with a smile and answered their greeting. However, he doesn't meet Irene at all. According to Eunbi, Irene arrived early today and had breakfast with them at the pantry. Even Seulgi can’t texting Irene because she blocked his number, Seulgi still updated from Eunbi through Seungwan

“Sir, this is your office” GM Moon open the door for Seulgi

“Wow, look good” Seulgi impress by the design of his office

“Mrs. Kang design it personally based on your preference”

“Oh I see. No wonder color and arrangement suit my taste. By the way, GM Moon, are you going to assist me from now on?”

“Yes sir, President Kang appointed me to assist you on your daily work. You also have two other secretaries, Ms. Yoo Jeongyeon and Ms. Park Jihyo. Ms. Park is the one who arranges your schedule while Ms. Yoo assists you in meetings. One of them also will go with you two during your business trip. They will give Secretary Son briefing about their job”

“Okay”

Seungwan asked “When will they meet with me?”

“They will meet with you after our first meeting with CEO Kang. Firstly we are going to meet here for a daily schedule briefing. They will come here on 8:20”

They have light conversation while waiting for female secretaries. On 8:20 sharp, the secretaries come to CEO office and their meeting begin

“For your first day schedule, you will have a tour to every department with GM Moon. At 10:30 AM, you will meet with the head of departments. After lunch break, our COO Kang Yoona will come to see you in your office. That’s all for your first day schedule” said Secretary Park

Seulgi was satisfied with the briefing. It is clear and arranged well “Alright, I like your work especially in giving instruction. Secretary Park and Secretary Yoo, I hope we will work well with each other. Don’t be awkward with me and Secretary Son. Same goes to you Manager Moon. Even though I am the CEO here, that doesn’t mean I know everything. I must learn a lot from all of you since you guys are seniors here. If I make mistake or careless, please don’t hesitate to let me know” he said sincerely

“We will, sir”

………….

Seulgi, Seungwan and Manager Moonbyul go to every department to meet the staff. He also had a short talk with the manager about their department progress. So far, he don’t see any problem occur in the office but he can’t be happy yet since he haven’t go through farther

Now they are in the marketing department where Irene works. He and Seungwan listened to Manager Moon briefing. Both of them listen attentively. The staff bow politely as their CEO walks past them. Everyone look busy with their task

When they walk past Irene and her colleague who are having a discussion at the corner, Seulgi secretly looks at Irene. However, Irene only bowed to her without smiling. She looks like a stranger to him. Eunbi and Solar smile politely but not Irene. Seulgi is sad that Irene does not even spare a glance at him. He misses her so much. As much as he wanted to go to her place again, Seungwan did not allow him to go. Seungwan said he must give Irene space to cool down. He also promise that he will help him and Irene to get back again

“Sir, can we proceed to the next department?” Manager Moon voice bring Seulgi back from his thought

“Yes, Manager Moon. Let’s go”

Meanwhile, Solar and Eunbi look at Irene who focuses on her laptop. When the others leave the table, they decide to ask Irene

“Rene, is everything okay?” Solar questioning slowly. She already knows that Irene and Seulgi breakup and she feels sorry for her best friend. She already expect they will have argument but she not expect until breakup

“What do you mean?” Irene furrowed her eyebrow

“About you and our CEO? Did he call you again after last time?”

“No, I block his number” Irene say nonchalantly

Solar and Eunbi look at each other “What if he needs to contact you regarding work?”

“He can call me through the office extension. I’m not going to deal with work related stuff at home”

“How about the trip to Daegu? You’re not going to ask for a replacement, right?” Eunbi asking

“Of course not. I’m professional. I will not bring personal problems to the office. Besides, I involve directly for the event from the start so I must be there”

“That’s good then”

Suddenly, their manager came towards them and said “Hey girls” He greeted them in a friendly way as usual. Manager Lee Hyukjae is kind and friendly with his staff so they are comfortable with him

“Hey Manager Lee, what’s up?” Solar asking

“I just received a memo from our GM. He said Eunbi-ssi will go to Daegu with Irene-ssi”

“Seriously, sir?” Eunbi startled

“Yes, this is order from our CEO”

“Okay sir, I don’t have a problem with that. Besides, I also involved in the event planning so I can help” said Eunbi

“That’s good then. You two will have a meeting with the CEO tomorrow to talk about the trip. GM also said the trip will be extend until Saturday because CEO want to visit KS Hypermarket, Daegu”

Irene's eyes widened “Are we involved too?”

“Yes, since you two are part of the trip”

“Okay then”

“That’s all for now. Don’t forget the meeting tomorrow. His secretary will send email to both of you regarding the meeting schedule”

“Okay sir”

After Manager Lee leave, they gossiping again “Yaa, this must be CEO idea” said Solar

“I think so” Eunbi agree

“He always does whatever he thinks is right. I know this must have something to do with a personal issue that’s why he wants you to be there” Irene reasoning “But at least, I have someone to talk with. I still not in mood to talk with Seungwan, not to mention his boss”

“Cheer up, Rene” Solar pats Irene shoulder softly

Gimpo Airport

Irene and Eunbi arrived at the airport for their trip to Daegu with their boss. They sit on the bench while waiting for Seulgi and Seungwan arrival

“Aish, what takes them so long?” Irene grunt. It has been 15 minutes since they arrived but the duo still not show up

“Calm down, unnie. Maybe they are on their way. Don’t tell me that you excited to meet our boss” Eunbi teasing Irene

“Kwon Eunbi, do you want to ride outside of the plane?” Irene glare at the younger girl

“Chill, unnie” Eunbi cackle

From afar, they noticed a group of men in suits enter the main entrance. They know that it is Seulgi and his men. He walk arrogantly through the crowd escorted by his bodyguard

“Not only the CEO is handsome but his bodyguards too” Eunbi said suddenly. Irene rolled her eyes. Not in mood to give respond to Eunbi

Seulgi who enters the airport followed by his bodyguards and his secretary quickly walk to the bench where Eunbi and Irene are waiting for them. This time he does not bring along his female secretary to avoid suspicion
