When The First Snow Comes ❄️

Chanyeol's POV.

Sung Mi Young was being surrounded by her employees when I arrived. They all looked so serious as they listen to whatever she's saying. They occupied the long table with her-- ofcourse-- on her throne again. She's wearing flashy clothes again... she's even wearing a black wide brimmed fedora hat. really? here? inside a building? shouldn't that be worn only under the sunlight?

They all looked too focused that no one casted a glance at me when I took a seat, joining them on the long table.

"Ms.Sung, Millicent is earning 3x this year than last year, Your popularity must've been the main reason." some male employee said.

Mi Young's brows almost went skywards as she looked at him.
"Our product is the main reason, not my fame" she rolled her eyes
"Anyway, That means I'm rich enough to buy another company?"
her employees glanced at each other panicky. what is she talking about?

"wae?" she asked when no one dared to answer her. She finally noticed my presence. She glared at me and avoided my gaze right after. Early in the morning and she's being grumpy again. "oh I remember something. I was suppose to send one of you a death mail right?" everyone gasped, probably disappointed that she remembered.

"Ms.Sung N-Ne hehehe you can buy shares from another company. Y-you are wealthy enough." A female employee interrupted.

Ms.Sung smiled at her. "Is that so?"
She looked very intimidating. I can feel everyone being tensed whenever she speaks. That black hat she's wearing is making her look even more frightening. "Alright, since all of you are doing a good job. I'll let this month pass" she said which made everyone sigh in relief. "I'll fire two next month" why does she always have to ruin everything!?

everyone's shoulder dropped.
"Negotiate with Dwelsmith Corporation" she continued. Her employees shared a knowingly glance at each other again.

"Ms.Sung isn't that your father's branch again---" she's really after her own dad.

she lifted her hand to interrupt her employee. She started counting down her fingernails. "1, 2, 3... I already bought 3. I only need to take down 2 more" she showed us her fingers for emphasis. "My father's father and my own father" she said which sent shivers down my spine for some unknown reasons. For a second she looked like an evil witch smirking right in front of us.

Everyone went silent as we all watch her every movements. She's indeed the evilest of them all. I unconsciously rub my shoulders, she's giving me goosebumps.

She took out an envelope from under and slide it onto the middle of the table. They're all scared to move, and the envelope landed right in front of me, so I took it and opened it. I silently read the first statement but I didn't have any idea of what was that.
maybe a new product?

I handed the envelope to the male employee beside me. He hesitantly read the same statement out loud.

"That's my latest idea. Just nourish it. We'll launch that this week after I bought Dwelsmith" she's pressuring everyone again. That basically means she wanted to buy the company right away then release a product afterwards. Is that possible to be done within a week? It's already Tuesday for Pete's sake.

"Wouldn't it be a little bit hard? T-the time that you allotted is too short. This is our very first time launching a skin care product Ms.Sung, Y-you also have a lot of schedule yourself I assume. Shooting for the commercial would usually take 2 days. That would possibly overlap some of your media businesses." now I must say, that's brave of her to tell all that to that shining devil in front.
