"Ça te tracasse?"

Heejin:
Let's meet up in two days. Same place, same time. I'll be waiting.

His eyes locked on Heejin's words as he sat on his leather seat. It's been two days since the girl sent him this message. He responded, of course, saying that he'll be there. He was relieved that his girlfriend finally messaged him.

"Mr. Jeon?" He turned off his phone and placed it on top of his desk before he looked at the person who entered his office.

"Miss Lee," Jungkook acknowledged his secretary, Lee Jieun. Lee Jieun has been working for him as his secretary for about three years now and is his most trusted employee.

"Report for today," Miss Lee began as she flipped through her folder. "Mr. Park finally responded to our business proposal and the collaboration project that we sent about a month ago. I just received from his secretary earlier this morning."

"And?" Jungkook asked as he leaned forward and clasped his hands together before placing his chin on top of it, his eyes all serious and expecting.

"He agreed to meet you and give the proposal a chance. He'd like to see you in two weeks." His secretary informed him.

"Alright. Prepare and finalized the presentation that we've been working on since three months ago and then send it to me so I can review it. Then book a flight to France for the team. Tell them to prepare. Mr. Park Jimin is an important businessman from France and we can't afford to lose his attention now that we have it." Jungkook instructed his secretary before he took his laptop out and turned it on.

"He'd like to meet you here." Miss Lee uttered and Jungkook looked back at her.

"He's flying to Korea?" Jungkook questioned.

"Yes. That's what his secretary said. I believe he's coming here for personal matters as well." Jieun told him and Jungkook nodded in understanding.

"Okay then. But do offer him our assistance and hospitality once he lands here in Korea." Jungkook said. Mr. Park Jimin, current CEO of Pavillon State Inc. Jungkook's pleased that he's finally meeting the Korean-born businessman from France for the first time.

"Noted. There's one more thing Sir," Jieun paused, reading through her file.

"What?" Jungkook asked.

"About the girl who you chose as the official face of Jeon Empire next year, the board members had already given their feedbacks." His secretary said before making eye contact with Jungkook.

"What about it?" Jungkook questioned.

"Well... they didn't approve Sir." Miss Lee uttered and Jungkook's eyebrows immediately meet in confusion.

"Why not?"

"They think the girl was not suitable enough to be the representative of Jeon Empire."

"Not suitable enough?" He questioned with confusion dancing in his eyes. "The girl is currently one of the top models here in Korea. Not to mention, she met the qualifications set by the company. I even personally reviewed her profile."

"That's what I said Mr. Jeon but they demanded another girl to be the face of Jeon Empire. And it seems like they're determined to have her as the new face." Jieun stated.

"Who?" Jungkook asked.

"Your wife Sir. Ma'am Mara Manoban-Jeon."
