"... That's about it for the monthly report on their brand."

I scoffed at the paper Shiro presented me. There wasn't anything wrong with it. The sales were good and the feedback was excellent. There was just one thing that I didn't like.

"When has she been hired by us?"

"Around two years ago if I'm not mistaken."

"Who accepted this proposal?"

"... You."

I stopped glaring at the paper in front of me and looked up at Shiro who was wearing an awkward smile. I coughed to hide the embarrassment on my face.

"Why would I accept someone to be the ambassador of one of the brands that we have high investment on? Add that she's surrounded with scandals 24/7- That's preposterous."

"... Well, in your words you said that publicity is publicity. I quote, 'Ms. Cai Bing is a walking trend setter.' end quote."

"Why don't I remember her then?"

"Uhm, you don't exactly remember anyone definitely, especially if you haven't interacted with them even once."

I harrumphed but stayed quiet. This is annoying.

I heard Shiro sigh so I looked at her questioningly.

"Okay, Ting. Ms. Cai Bing, as far as I know, didn't do anything remotely offending to you... or is there any other reason for you to dislike her this much?"

"I don't dislike her." I muttered. "I'm just questioning why I would hire her out of all the other qualified people out there. If I wasn't so adamant on rejecting being in front of cameras, I would have done a better job at her on being an ambassador."

Shiro laughed. "It's as if you're asking for a fight. Just so you know, that woman knows taekwondo."

"Don't care. I've got my own black belt?"

"... In what, karate?"

"No, in Gucci."

She rolled her eyes which made me smile a bit. "Whatever, Ms. Billionaire."

We exchanged a few more words about Cai Bing's partnership with us that I seemed to have forgotten. To summarize it, it was simply me being unreasonable while Shiro would recall what I told her that time.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, fine, I get it. She was- okay is, a good ambassador." Of course, I chose her. She should be good.

"You're face doesn't look like this is a good thing though."

"Just go away, Shiro."

She laughed but took a sit in front of my table. She was leaning on my table which indicated that this wasn't going to be a talk about anything business-related anymore.

"What?" I asked.

"You haven't been hanging out with Yujin eonnie. Did you fight?"

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. "What? No, we're not fighting. Who gave you that idea?"

"Calm down, I just assumed. Chae texted me if everything was okay here- the company and you in general. I said yes, but I knew that ever since that last call you had with Yujin eonnie, which was already a week ago mind you, you've been cooping yourself up in this office."

I looked away from her gaze. "'Cause we've been busy, Shiro."

"No, you have been busy. You basically took away mine and Zhe's job as your assistant. Of course you'd be busy."
