Ok, you can do this. At the count of three, you go in and talk to Mr. Won. One, two...

-Oh no, change the date- as I tried to run away, Luther and Claire pushed me back in front of the closed door -But what if...-

-You must be sure of what you do, say or think. That's  a reflect on all of us- Luther added.

-Of course, what a coward of me-

-You are not. It is a nerve racking situation for anyone, specially for you-

-Ok then, throw me to the lions- I charged myself with some strengh and went in.

There was a kan sitting in onw of the chairs. It was a plane simple room with two chairs and at least five people at our disposal. As soon as I walked in and sitted in the remaining empty chair, everyone looked sharp straight at me. One of the security guards came close and took me by the arm.

-Sorry Miss- he said in a rough english- go ou, you lost-

-Mr. Won?- I said in english, the man in the room turned his face -Mr. Kim Won- I said again, this time in korean while forcing my arm out of the security guard's hand, He turned my way. From that moment I spoke the best way I could in korean, for respect -Mr. Kim Won, I'm Stephanie, representative of M.E.C International- I sat in the chair again. Absolutly everyone, including him, seemed to be in a deep regret -Do not owrry for the guard's mistake-

-How can you be?- heasked in a formal and a bit arrogant way -You're not...-

-What you've expected? Yes, I usually produce that feeling- He kept silent and I continued in english, I knew he knew it, but probably not all his employees -I'll beg you pardon if my presence is of any disturbance, but I'm not only a representative, I'm the heiress of the company- he couldn't not hide the surprise in his eyes, there was shame in his face, probably by now  (as it usually happens) he is realizing the size of his unrespectful welcome party and the doings of his guard, while in a split second searching the best way to repair what has been done - Please do not worry yourself. I'm not an impostor and I can prove it, Luther?- He came through the door and hand me a leather folder with some documents -It is normal that I'm mistaken, and I want you Sir to feel as comfortable as possible with me-

-I'm sorry Miss Stephanie-

-I know it's not normal but I relay in your judgement, and before you decide whether or not to continue this meeting, I would like you to put a side y age, culture and even my skin color- Luther looked at me harshly, I've done my homework too - in order to to look foward in the future, to the possible plans ahead of us- some terrifying minute past by in silence.

-You are aware of many things Miss Stephanie, and I take that into account the respect for our culture- Score! -But- or maybe not -I can't continue this with an under age-

-I'm 18 years old, Sir, and I know what I'm doing. There is a reason why my Father sent me in his place, He doesn't do that ti just any eeting, neither do I. But if it is a trouble, I will send in someone else-

-Wait- he said whe I was about to stand up off from the chair, I sitted down again -I see now that you looked foward to our companies best interests first beofre your owns-

-I'm glad that can be perceived-

-We'll meet in the long term negotiations you asked for in the documents sent over before yoour arrival. And sorry for my staff's mistake, it won't happen again- or not...

-Thank you Sir- A big gasp of relief came loudly out of me. Amazingly, I catched a little smile in the corner of His mouth. He stood up and I bowed properly, He replied. In his way out, he whispered something to a man. He approached me as soon as Mr Won went out.

-Miss Stephanie- I heard the man saying in english -I'm secretary Yoon Jae Ho-

-Is a pleasure- I answered.

-Mr. Won has asked me to invite you to meet Jeguk High-

-Excuse me?-

-He's aware of your scholar situation and insisted you seek the Jeguk Groups School a posibility- I looked back at Luther.

-Jeguk High is in our top 3-

-Well then- I said.

-Please also accept an invitation with Mr. Won's brother and my son to dine, whenever seems best-

-Thank you Sir, I'll inform you through Luther-

-Good bye- he said. I slightly lend forward my head.

I turned back and went ut of that door. It seem an eternity. I saw Clair laughing.

-They confused me again!- she laughed along with me -Oh Dear- I said while cleaning the tears from my face -the story of my life-

-How was it this time?-

-Well...- I told her on our way back. I could rest now.

When we arrived at the hotel, I felt the weight of such a long trip, I wanted to rest at least for today.

-Luther?-

-Yes Mam-

-Can you schedule the diner for tomorrow?-

-Aren't you going to rest?-

-I'll rest today and tomorrow morning, its just dinner anyway-

-Ok-

Next morning I woke up feeling particulary nnervous. I didn't have any important meeting  so I was not aware of where those nervous butterflies were coming from. I dress up casual to go down to have some nice deserved breakfast. So far the best part of the trip. Since I couldn't just do nothing, I reviewed a couple of documents that needed to be sign in the next few days and sent over to the main offices. I also abused of my dear friend google maps to check a bit of the possible house options.

-Miss?- Luther said -the meeting was fixed as a late lunch, is it ok?-

-Late lunch?-

-Yes, to have lunch around 3 O'clock today, the insisted-

-I don't have anything else to do, so thats fine with me-

-I'll confirm-

-Its one o'clock, I'll go over some papers and then start getting ready, is it to far from here?-

-Just twenty minutes-

-Well then, that gives me plenty of time-

When I was getting ready, I felt anxious again, this time it showed.

-Steph, are you ok?- said Claire while watching the pucking in my face.

-I keep feeling this weird sensation in my chest-

-Does it hurt?- she continue talking, this time more worry.

-No, it's a premonition kind of feeling-

-You've nothing to worry about-

-That's what makes it strange-

-Think in something else-

-I'll try-

While in the car, the premonition cased a bit.

-This is it?- I asked.

-Yes, this is it- the chofer responded.

-Ok then, lets go in-

I walked in and the hostess directed me towards a table. Sitting in the table were two people, a tall young an and a pretty girl, wasn't I supposed to be meeting two guys? They stood up as soon as they saw me and the formalities begun.

-Hello- he said

-Hello- I answered. They were kind of surprise to my reply in korean along with honoraries.

-I'm Kim Tan and this is Cha Eun Sang-

-Hello- she added.

-Nice to meet you. Excuse me if I ask, but wasn't I supposed to be meeting Mr. Yoon's son as well?-

-He wasn't able to come, He's sick-

-Oh no, I hope he gets better-

-Thank you- he finished saying.

-Do the both of you assist to Jeguk High?-

-We do- she answered -are you planning to attend?-

-Still deciding, I want to visit the schools first before making any decision-

-Wise- he said.

Some awkward minutes passed by while the waiter was taking the orders. I haven't seen the purpose of this, maybe to be polite. Anyway, if it doesn't have I'll give it one.

-I'm sorry. But I can't stand this anylonger. Is it possible to stop being so formal? I believe we are the same age, so that will be fine- we all looked at each other and laughed.

-Its fine with me- he said positively.

-Me too- she add.

I took a huge gasp of hair and sat in a more comfortable way in the chair.

-Its a relief to have a friendly face-

-Why is that?-

-Lets say that my first meeting had involved your brother, Kim Tan. No ofense, but he is in extreme intimidating-

-You did? How did you managed to get out of there alive?- she added -What? -she continue saying while looking at Kim Tan's expression-He is pretty scary-

-Pretty hard I must say, and switch of languages here and there-

-I hear, but, why were you in the meeting?-

-What  do you mean with why?-

-Yes. That was supposed to be a meeting with investors-

-What are you suggesting?- Yes, I'm not getting anything.

-Are you...?-

-Ahhh, I undestand. I'm the representative of M.E.C International- they both looked at each other stunned -What? You didn't knew?- they denied with their heads -Really? I thought at least you knew Kim Tan. Who do you think you were danning with?-

-A prospect scholarship for Jeguk High- he finally answered.

-I'm a prospect, but there is more to it-

-A lot more- she added.

-Ops. Lets keep it like that. If no one knew, there must be a reason-

-But you are really...? How old are you?- she brutally said.

-Eighteen-

-EIGHTEEN?- they both laudly exclaimed.

-Yes-

-How can you live like that?-

-By miracles-

-Wow, superwoman- she included.

-Super girl, I'm not that old-

-Well, you'll have no problem in Jeguk High- he said while looking at Eun Sang. She made a funny face in return.

-What is it?-

-There is a ... herarchy in the school-

-What kind of hierarchy?-

-Depending in how you enter the school, you are positioned in a group. There are the Management Succesion group, Stock Inheritance group, Honor Inheritance and finally, the Social Care group-

-Hold on right there. I'm not even accepted and you are telling me their dirty clothes?-

-Didn't saw it like that-

-Yes, plus, You're supposed to be doing business with me- His face went white cold - but don''t worry, business are far appart from personal stuff-

-Good- they seemed relieved.

-It sounds different and interesting, Jeguk High, I'll have to visit their facilities-

-Actually, we had it planed, well, Secretary Joon planned it for us-

-I understand. Is lovely how much effort people her eput in every aspect of their business-

-So, Do you agree?- Eun Sang said -Will you come and visit to us?-

-I'll be my pleasure- ... or my mistake.
