The receptionist knocked on the door and announced their arrival to the woman sitting in the chair looking at some papers. She signalled them to come in. Smiling the receptionist ushered the ladies in and left them to their own fates.
So-ah: (not looking up) you have brought back up?!
Ye-Jin: (casually sitting on a nearby couch in the huge room) I wasn't going to face the lioness alone.
So-ah: (tsk-ing) I thought you were my brave little sister.
Ye-Jin: (pointing for Aera to sit) not when I am guilty.
So-ah: (chuckling and walking towards them) you are still hung upon it?
Ye-Jin: (hanging her head) I am sorry big sis, I broke my promise that night. It won't happen again.
So-ah: (patting her head) it's alright Jin, I forgave you long back.
Ye-Jin: (quickly hugging her sister) I missed you big sis.
So-ah: (chuckling) I too missed you little sis.
They exchanged several pleasantries with each other and by that time Aera was too confused to even form words about the situation she had gotten herself into.
She had followed Ye-Jin to dish out some juicy stuff but now she was here in front of the one and only Park So-ah.
The person who didn't know about the youngest female president of the Park Group was definitely living under some rock because So-ah had grown to be an inspirational figure to many young women and girls of their generation. She was the perfect combination of beauty, wit, cruelty and ruthlessness.
Being the gossip monger she was, Aera recognised So-ah at first glance but looking at Ye-Jin's close relationship with the top tier noble woman her nerves short circuited and her brain was being sluggish at putting the pieces together and Ye-Jin wasn't helping her either this time.
She was scared to death and in anxiety she was digging her nails in her palms when the conversation of the powerful women took a sharp right angled turn.
So-ah: Sooru told me about the baby- Sarangh. How is she now?
Ye-Jin: didn't Shin-Jay tell you? Ray helped with her adoption.
So-ah: that reminds me- when were you going to tell me that you were dating someone?
Ye-Jin: (surprised) w-who m-me?!
So-ah: don't lie to me. I know you are dating Ray these days.
They heard a faint cough coming from the other end of the couch where a red faced Aera was trying to hide her emotions.
