"I've got some pretty bad news for you". Hangul said and ran to him immediately he entered the house.
"Yo Bro check out what the reporters are saying about you". Jimmy also ran to him with his tablet. Jiseok lazily took the tablet and glance through it. The contents of the news left him speechless.
"Don't believe whatever you see in the news, besides that's my friend Sammy". Jiseok said nonchalantly as he changed into his house slippers.
"Boss it's not as easy as you said it, most of our clients are backing away from the deal and some who still choose to cooperate with us are willing to continue unless you prove the news is fake. Thus news affected our company shares and its dropping significantly". Secretary Chan hurried to explain showing him the statistics.
"Hahaha". Jiseok laughed coldly with a sinister smile. "They are trying to dethrone me! The king of the business world, let's see then try. Chan woo find out who started thus crazy rumour immediately, I'll deal with the rest myself".
"Hmm.... Bro.... Honestly aren't you really gay? I mean you have never dated any girls, and you seem irritated just looking at them so I thought....." Hangul quickly elbowed him signaling him to shut up.
"KIM JIHO ROLANDIGO!!" Jiseok said angrily. Jiho shivered in shock.
"What do you think of suspending your next album release to next year". Jiseok said with his lips curved up to a slight smile. But to Jiho, that doesn't look like a smile at all, it seems like a snarl.
"Big Brother I'm joking!! Just kidding!! Big brother is completely Straight! And attracted to women with big boobs!" he screamed as he ran after Jiseok trying to pacify him.
"Make that two years".
"Noooo!!!"
Hangul stood there shaking his head as he watched Jiho continue digging his own grave.
"At this rate, he isn't going to debut for ten years". He said laughing. "Your boss is too strict, he has to loosen up a bit ya know".
Secretary Chan was left all alone. He wanted to scream at his bad boss but hold back his tongue for fear of being fired.
"Oh right Chan woo, your salary for one year will be deducted for not doing your job properly". Jiseok came down and announced before going back up. Chan woo stood there dumbfounded with tears rolling down his eyes. He cursed Jiseok several times in his heart. He has always heard people calling him the devilish CEO but he never believed them until now that he finally got a taste of the devil's evil. He left the house sadly, crying for his one year salary as he drove away. From today, he learnt a very important lesson and that is to stay far away from the devil when's he is in a bad mood or you will get implicated.
===============
Taner sat on her bed carefully counting the money she had for her dad's surgery when her phone rang, interrupting her.
"Who's the bastard interrupting me and my money??" she angrily picked up her phone from the bed side table and was dumbfounded as she stared at the name on her screen.
"Fuck! What does the big devil want from me?" she panicked before gingerly answering the call.
"Took you quite a long time miss Lu to answer my call, I'm starting to think you no longer want your job". Jiseok sarcastic comment could be heard loudly from the phone. Taner made a killing notion before speaking.
"Sorry Mr Kim, I was busy doing something important just now, if there's nothing urgent I'll like to hang up the call and continue my business". Taner replied lazily.
"You won't dare". Jiseok said confidently.
"Oh then dear Jiseok watch me". Taner replied as she hung up the call and threw the phone on the bed angrily. "WHO THE HECK DOES HE THINK HE IS!! I'M LU TANER AND NOBODY CAN THREATEN ME!!" she screamed angrily.
Ding!
She received a message from her phone and decided to glance through it.
"Three months salary has been deducted from you, if you still don't come to work now then make it permanent deduction throughout your working years".
She looked at the message and read it over and over again. She was terrified and angry.
"KIM JISEOK YOU DEVIL!!" she screamed. She was about to throw her phone away when another notification came in.
"You have ten minutes to be in the office or consider yourself fired".
"AHHH!! I HATE YOU BIG DEVIL!!". Taner quickly jumped out of the bed running to get dressed.
Meanwhile,
A certain someone in a meeting was smiling to himself as he stared at his phone. He could already imagine her priceless reaction. The poor guy giving his presentation was so creeped out and was on the verge of crying as he stared at the President. To make matters worst, he even forgot what he was saying. Everyone has the same expression as him and where dumbfounded. This was actually the first time they had seen the devil smiling a genuine smile.
They all were thinking the same thing..... Who was the devil texting that can actually make him smile genuinely. The person responsible for this just casually kept his phone in his pocket and raising his hand indicating for them to continue. They stared at him dumbfounded trying to look for the smile and maybe thought it was their illusion.
"Are you waiting for a grand wake up to continue your presentation or do you want to be fired?" the devil said irritatedly.
The poor presenter was scared witless and apologised profusely before continuing with the presentation. The rest people felt pity for him and wished never to be the one in his shoes to face the wrath of the Devil.
"Before the next meeting, I expect not to see this garbage you call a strategy or you all will lose your jobs. I don't pay you to waste my time like this, now get out of my sight.... Oh yes... Three months of each of your salaries is deducted, if by the next meeting you don't come up with a good strategy you know what will happen". Jiseok said angrily. The people all nodded and bowed before leaving with tears running down their faces, mourning their three months salary.
Jiseok entered his office only to see Taner already inside obediently waiting for him. He smiled secretly to himself before walking calmly to his table.
"Took you long enough". He said acting indifferently.
"Sorry president Jiseok". Taner held her anger as she apologised cursing him deeply in her heart.
"Enough of that, I have a deal for you that will benefit both of us". He smiled slyly as he stared at her.
Taner's mind was telling her something bad is about to happen as she stared at his evil smile, "What deal?"
