Ash heard the opening of the door. He looked up to see Madam Hong entering with Mirae closely following her.
Madam Hong took the seat across him at her desk, while Mirae stood next to him, maintaining a stoic expression.
"Mr. Park," Madam Hong smiled. "I hope our deal still stands?"
"It does, Madam," Ash bowed slightly. "I will sign the contract with your company for my solo venture."
Mirae knew that Madam Hong would not go into details about this contract in front of her watchful eyes, but she knew what the contract said.
"Very well then," Madam Hong said. "We will send you the papers next week. And another thing."
She shuffled through her drawer and took out three tickets.
"These are tickets to my private ball," she explained. "I wish to invite you to there as my date."
She handed one of the tickets to Ash. He took the ticket, knowing fully well what her 'private' ball meant. Mirae quietly saw the exchange.
