It's been 4 days since that incident. Liffi had forgotten about Black, her work was piling up, there was no time to think about anything else. Today there is a big meeting with WIN Enterprise company. This giant company will build the largest one stop living concept mall in the central city. The tender value is millions of dollars. If the company where Liffi works can win the tender, it is certain that the name of HANS construction will skyrocket.
All employees worked harder than usual, went for the extra mile. Everyone was tired and Liffi was no exception. Her smart brain and workmanlike skill have made many drafters rely on Liffi. Really, her apprenticeship wages was not suited for the fatigue all over her body.
"What? Nora is sick? How is it? Who will help Mr. Ken and Mr. Hans present?" They all whispered to each other. Their main architect, Nora, was sick, she got fever, whereas the tender meeting would begin soon.
"Liffi, you drew almost all of the Nora's designs right?! You can definitely help us!!" shouted a senior, his face was pale in panic.
Liffi glared in surprise, how could something this big be given to an apprentice? Who even only passed one year of college. What if the tender failed because of her?
Liffi swallowed because of fear.
"Sorry, Sis. I'm just an apprentice, I can't do it," Liffi said softly.
"Please, Liffi, help us. You are the only hope of this company," asked Wilona, Mr Hans's secretary helped to persuade Liffi.
Finally Liffi obeyed. Even though she was afraid, Liffi agreed. Liffi cursed herself inwardly. Why was she so weak to such persuasion?
Liffi sighed several times before entering the WIN Enterprise building. Her hands were cold-sweating, her heart seemed to be falling off. Liffi trailed behind Mr. Ken and Mr. Hans, her boss, along with several other young interior designers and architects.
The atmosphere looked so calm. Everyone was busy preparing working drawings and concepts in 3D, and Liffi was no exception. Wilona put the drawing proposals and tender fees calculation on desk of available seats.
All ranks of leaders and commissioners entered the meeting room, siting in a U shape according to the shape of the meeting table. The middle seat was still empty, the WIN group president has not been arrived yet. Though, usually he was always on time.
"He's not here yet?" Mr. Ken was a little worried and whispered to Mr. Hans.
"Is he looking down on us since we're just a small company?" Mr. Hans was a little disappointed.
But their worries stopped when a man walked inside. His face was very handsome, his body was tall. His hair was black as charcoal. His blue eyes sparkled like beads. Followed by several of his subordinates, the man sat quietly in his chair.
Liffi was freeze. Who is that man? His face was very similar to Black, only his hair was different, black and bold. Liffi continued to observe the man, until finally their eyes met.
Oh, my God ...! He saw me. I was so ashamed. Liffi looked away, avoiding the man's gaze.
"Shall we start the meeting? I don't like wasting my time," he said briefly, but it created such a heavy atmosphere in the entire room.
"O ... Ok."
All rushed to start the meeting. Mr. Ken and Mr. Hans, explained the working drawings and designs they had made. But that man didn't care about the presentation at all. His eyes were only on Liffi, watching Liffi from the tips of her hair to her toes.
Liffi shuddered. She felt goosebumps on her back from the sharp gaze of the WIN group president. Liffi tried to look natural, to hide her awkwardness as best as she could.
His gaze seemed like he wanted to strip me, Liffi thought irritably.
Liffi stepped back slightly, hidding behind her senior. Avoiding the man's gaze and curiosity.
"I think the meeting is enough." The man got up and buttoned his suit.
"But Mr. West, we haven't even finished the presentation yet," protested Mr. Kim.
"Poor design, poor presentation, and too long development planning." The man glanced sharply at Mr. Hans. His glance made Mr. Hans feel discouraged.
"I gave you a chance because you're my father's friend. But the results were very disappointing."
"But ...."
Liffi holds her trembling body, why is there such a cruel man? Even though their design may not be as good as other companies, they have prepared it seriously. They had to work overtime and were willing to skip their lunch time. It's too cruel to just cut their persentation off.
The man walked away anyway, leaving the meeting room. Before the door was opened, he briefly glanced at Liffi. Giving a look that stunned Liffi, carried away in his charm.
