Chapter Four

 

Kris

I scrolled through the list of departments in the company and stopped when my eyes spotted the word 'Finance Department'. As the CEO of Wu Enterprise, I had unlimited excess to the list of employees in this building and it didn't take much for me to find what I was looking for. "Song Haru..." I read. "Associate Head of Finance Department. First got into Wu Enterprise two and a half years ago as a financial officer, promoted to current position to replace former associate, Mr. Jung Sung Hwa. Valedictorian of year 2009, degree in accounting and finance from Swinburne Univeristy of Technology, Melbourne. Guardians: Song Im Hwan and Kim Hanna."

Hmm... not bad. I stared at her photo once more and leaned back in my leather chair. Too bad. She's beautiful and all, but do I seriously want to be committed? I can't even do normal relationships, whatmore marriage. I sighed and massaged my temple. This whole wedding ordeal is beginning to mess with my head. I'm losing focus and I didn't like it one bit. 

Knock. Knock.

Groan. "Come in," I said without bothering to lift my head. I heard the door open and closes before the sound of a man's footsteps approaching my table registered in my brain. Still, I kept my head down and rubbed my temple with my eyes still closed. "Kris." I sighed. "What is it, Luhan?" "I want to talk to you about something." he said.

I finally lifted my head and noticed him standing right in front of my desk with a serious look on his face. "What is it about?" He sighed and took a seat, crossing his legs and leaning in the chair. "Your marriage." I raised my brow at this. "What about it?"

"Kris, I know you're getting married to Haru." he said and I scoffed. Chen. "So? Is there a problem?" "Are you really going to go through with this wedding? Are you really going to follow the former CEO's words and marry her?" he asked, causing me to frown. "Luhan, what is your relationship with Song Haru?"

"She's my close friend and not to mention, my second hand in command." Luhan replied without waiting for a second to pass. "I just want to know if you're planning to take good care of her. I know you, Kris. You don't do relationships. You don't fall in love. You treat women like they're walking toys."

"Watch it, Luhan." I warned him but he ignored me. "You and I both know that is the truth. You don't care about women. You never did ever since-"

"Don't." I growled. I knew what he was going to say. "You don't have the right to bring that up, Luhan." He sighed at this. "I know. I'm sorry." he said and I knew he was genuine about it. "I'm just worried about Haru, okay? She's a good friend and I don't want her to go through something she doesn't deserve. If you can't treat her well, drop the whole deal. Okay?"

Sigh. "Luhan, I don't plan on marrying Song Haru or anybody else for a matter of fact. Like you said, I use women for fun. As disgusting as it is, it's the truth. I won't deny that. I don't do relationships, and the hell with marriage. Your friend is safe." I told him and scoffed when I saw him relax. "By the way, you make me sound like ."

"You are , Kris." he scoffed and I growled lowly in my throat. "Calm down, wolfie." Wolfie? The hell? Sigh. "Luhan, do me a favor." The male raised a brow at this. "Get your associate here in my office. Now."

 

 

Haru

"....aru? Haru!" I broke out of my thoughts and turned to see a frowning Kyungsoo and Kai standing by the door of my office. I cursed inwardly and flashed them an apologetic smile. "Are you okay?" Kai asked as he stepped inside with Kyungsoo in tow.

"Uhm, yeah. I'm fine." I lied. "Sorry. Is there anything I can do for you gentlemen?" I asked and they furrowed their brows at me. I watched as they exchanged glances and sighed. "I'm fine guys. Really. I'm just... tired."

"You've been working too hard," Kyungsoo said as he rounded my desk to stand on my left. "Take a day off, huh? You look like you really need some sleep." I chuckled. "I'm fine. I'll be fine. I can't take a day off, Kyungsoo. I still have so many accounts to deal with here." I said as I gestured towards the pile of folders on my desk. "See?"

Kai sighed. I didn't realise that he had taken a seat on the visitor's table at my table. "You sure?" he asked and I nodded, touched. I wasn't close with Kai like how I was with Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and Luhan, but he never made me feel awkward around him. He can be naughty at times, but I'm glad he doesn't try hitting on me like how he does to the rest of the female emp

Chapter 49: I came back on AFF just to reminisce those old days of stanning Kris Wu. God, I read so much of his fanfictions back then because I'll never get tired of him but the news broke me. I'm sure it's not only me crying while reading the threads on twitter and news outlet. It was heartbreaking and difficult to accept because in my heart, Kris Wu will always hold a special place. He was my first bias in EXO, he used to be on my calculator cover when I'm 15, almost everyone in my class knows my obsession with him. But at the end of the day, he was a human. And there are no perfect human in this world. He was bound to make mistakes. He was bound to be different from what we portrayed him to be. While it is normal to be imperfect, that does not excuse ual or predatory behavior. ual and r@pe allegations are not small matters, not measly problems that can be magically solved just because he had the money and looks for it. If he is guilty, may he be punished accordingly with the laws. Until then, my stance shall be he is guilty until proven innocent.

May each one of us are given the strength to handle the news and future development of the cases. Stay safe and get vaccinated. Thank you.

Chapter 49: "i'm not taking sides to be safe"? i'm so sorry you guys were raised in a world full of misogyny you'd think that a false ual allegation could ruin a millionaire man's life. rumors about kris' ual misconducts have been going around for years with multiple underaged girls for as long as i can remember. there's no smoke without fire. why would tens of girls come out and show fabricated texts of a man who has a decade of successful career? not siding with any of the parties involved in a ual assault allegation literally means you're siding with the predator. if it's ever proven that the victims were lying (highly doubt that. but let's just pretend for the sake of this argument), why would you feel bad about not trusting kris--he doesn't even ing know we exist lol? i'd rather side with a bunch of liars rather than an actual ual predator by not picking a side just because he was my bias. kris, in any way, shape, or form, will not be hurt by fans like us taking sides in a case like this. even the court of law might not hurt his reputation in a way that matters because again and again powerful men have returned to mainstream media even after cases where they were proven to be guilty has happened. think kevin spacey, think curtis lepore. and then think about marie adler. don't know them? google them.

god, i remember being 17 and thinking i'd have a chance with kris because news of his ex gfs came out and they were around my age. and he was ing 26 then. now when i look back, that should've been the first red flag.

dear author, you are doing the right thing by changing the surname of the character in your book. but i hope you reflect again on the reason why you wouldn't pick sides in a case as dire as involving of underaged girls. be a better person today.

Chapter 49: Ohh how much i remembered the time when he left exo. He was my UB. I cried for him every day and night. And now with this news, i dont even have any tears to let out. Im just hoping that the truth will come out fast.

Chapter 49: I was and am still a fan of him but as for now, I will just wait for the correct news. I'm staying neutral. I go 'Innocent until proven guilty' for now. Better safe than sorry. I don't want to regret it.

Chapter 49: Authornim, you're not alone in this. I also went through the exact same feelings as yours simce 2014. And then now this happened. It is really dissappointing and who knows which side is the truth.

But don't worry about changing the surnames of the characters and all because it's your right and you are the writer. I as a reader will give my full support to you. Hwaiting!😊

Chapter 49: Authornim, you wrote MTMB with Kris Wu as your main character but the story is yours. Regardless what the character name may be the story is still yours. I believe that in all things will come out.

Chapter 49: I don’t know what to say and even he not my bias it still horrify to hear the news, but until everything prove to be true I don’t take side… because we all have been see that kind of case a lot that can ruin someone’s life in just few seconds before the truth come out. I just hope everyone get what they deserve for their actions…please no offense I just speak what my opinion
