The Heiress

Chapter 9

***

After two days of staying home and gathering information for her company, Chaeyoung finally decided to go to school. This time she wanted to recruit her friend Jennie as a graphics designer.

Chaeyoung saw some of Jennie's sketches before and she is confident of her friend's skills. She also remembered Jennie from her past life. After graduating high school, Jennie will pursue arts and will excel in design.

After she arrived at school, she immediately went to her classroom to see her friend.

"Hey… Chaeyoung are you alright? I didn't see you for four days. I tried to call you, but it wouldn't go through. Did something happen?" She heard Jennie's voice before she entered the classroom. She looked at the delicate beauty standing next to her.

Jennie might look delicate and pretty on the outside, but she is very outspoken and confident. A trait that Chaeyoung admired from her friend.

"Oh…my phone broke. Accompany me later. I will buy a new one. I had an emergency last Monday, but it's already fixed." She assured Jennie.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! Also, I want to talk to you about something important. Do you want to go to the cafeteria? We can grab a bite while talking."

Jennie nodded and walked alongside Chaeyoung as they talked about random things on their way to the cafeteria. The two girls bought some sweets before looking for a vacant table. Then they both choose a seat at the corner to avoid the crowd.

"So? What do you want to talk about?" Jennie inquired.

"Well, I want you to work for me. As a graphic designer."

"Graphic Design? What do you want me to design? You know that I haven't taken any design classes before, right?" Jennie wanted to make sure that Chaeyoung is aware of her inexperience. Sure, she is talented when it comes to art, but she didn't take any professional classes before.

Chaeyoung fixed her eyes at Jennie. She knows that Jennie has a good background. She also knows that the Kim Family has a very complicated household. Jennie is so talented at sketching so how come their family didn't let her take any art classes to enhance her skills? Nevertheless, her decision won't change. She will still ask her friend to work for her.

"That's not a problem. I saw your sketches before, and I was quite impressed. I want you to work for me. We will immediately start my project after the National exams." She mumbled before chewing a piece of her cake elegantly.

"What project?"

"Oh… I haven't told you yet. I'm planning to start my own company. It's like a sister company of iComms tech, but it's totally different. I will explain the specifics after the exams." Chaeyoung answered.

Jennie can't help but feel a little conflicted when she heard Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung is still seventeen, but she is already talking about starting her own company. While she is still in a limbo, floating and waiting for other people to decide for her. Isn't she a little too pitiful? But Jennie likes Chaeyoung and will wholeheartedly support her.

"Okay, I'm in." She beamed at Chaeyoung. She would love to work for a smart girl like her.

"Great! So um… this cake is not that good. Do you know a place that sells great cakes and confectioners?" Chaeyoung suddenly asked her. Even though she just met Chaeyoung, Jennie already noticed that this girl loves her sweets.
