Chapter 12 - The Monster CEO

(2 years ago...)

[I need to let Jason know... omgggg...]

I'm on my way to their company, riding my Ducati, trying so hard not to increase my speed  because of excitement.

I just got nominated as the Producer of the year for this year's Seoul Music Awards! I have to share the news personally, this type of good news can't be just sent thru text.

When I arrived, I went straight to the VIP elevator. Jason gave me an employee pass right after he got assigned as the CEO so I can go to his office whenever I wanted to.

I arrived at the 28th floor, and was about to go inside his office when I hear a big SLAM!

'I asked for these reports to be submitted to me last week.  I was expecting that it will be very detailed since you have a week to prepare, now you're giving me this piece of trash? You only have ONE JOB. JUST ONE!'

Jason is furious.

This is the first time I saw him this mad.

So what Mr. Jin, his secretary, is saying is true then. He's a bit different when he works as a CEO.

So I waited for at least 30 minutes , standing outside the elevator, trying my best to hide myself so he won't see me.

Then, I went inside when their meeting is over.

'I really thought the CEO's office should be noise- proof, though. ' I went inside his office, bringing 2 cups of coffee with me.

'You were here earlier, huh.' Jason looking at me.

'Did you make this?'

'Yup. Black coffee with non-fat milk. Just how you like it.' I said before I sipped on my coffee.

We discussed what went through their meeting, I gave suggestions and challenged his ideas. This type of discussions with Jason isn't mind boggling for me. I was trained to help Austin manage our company before I left to make music. I know how this works.

'Quit your job, just be my secretary. You're smarter than almost everyone here and you can keep secrets. Please?'

'Ha. You wish . I left home for music. I'm not gonna sacrifice doing what I love just to help you get your employees' sh** together, ya know... besides, being a producer pays more. HAHAHAHA'

'I'll pay you 2x more than what you're earning right now, though.'

'I'm paid through royalties, are you sure about that?' I raised one of my eyebrows.

I opened my bank app and showed him the account balance.

'Sh**. You're loaded.' Jason is shocked.

'Yup. I love what I do.'

'More than you love me?' Jason said when he looked at me.

'More than I love myself.' I replied.

[Little does he know that I love him more than I love myself.]

'Damn it. Fine, you win. But I'll still discuss things like this with you. You're obliged to help me, okay?

'Fine.'

'Oh, and JayJay? I got it. I got nominated as the producer of the year in this year's SMAs.'

'WHAT THE-- HEY CONGRATULATIONS!' Jason hugged me and smiled.

Just like that, the Monster CEO is gone.

(Today..)

This is the first time I'll go to their company after the engagement was announced.

From the moment I entered the building, people are greeting me. I greeted everyone back and sped up my pace of walking so I can reach the VIP elevator soon.

This is so awkward.
