Chereads / THE HENCHMAN / Chapter 22 - Board meeting

Chapter 22 - Board meeting

There is a tense atmosphere between Miss Park and Hae Won for the rest of the evening

Next day

Hae Won calls for a board meeting

Hae Won:I won't take any of your time, I just wanted to introduce you to the new member of our board

Sung-jin walks in and the board members seem somewhat scared of him.

It's not something new as he's dealt with alot of business men for Mr Lee and by dealt I mean threatened  or  beat them to a pulp .

Hae Won: (teasingly) Omo why do you look like you've seen a ghost

Member #1:(nervous) We're just surprised that's all

Member #2:(fake smiling)  Welcome

They all welcome him half heartedly

Sung-jin:(meh)Thank you,I hope we work well together from now on.

Hae Won: (teasingly) If you ever want to kick me out of the company you should talk to him ,he has the second most shares

They all just laugh awkwardly.

Hae Won: Well alright then and enjoy your night boys,  you'll probably go to the strip club with him like you did with our last partner

Member #3:(nervous )Omo ma'am we told you that never happened, it was just the press you know not everything they say is true

Hae Won: It's nothing to be ashamed of,you had fun right.(sulking) But you forgot to invite me as well , that kinda hurt you know.

Member #4:(smiling) Next time we'll take you with  us

They all glare at him

Hae Won:(smirking)  I'll be waiting on it, even though I'm the only woman on this board I too want to be involved....Anyway let's get to business.The building were constructing is progressing quite well.We could have a tour next week on Friday and no-one is excused .After all this is your money im spending

All the members but Sung-jin just laugh hysterically .

Hae Won: This weekend we're also having a charity fundraising for orphans and rape victims. Be sure to bring all your rich friends and  wallets ,(teasingly) if we can spend a couple thousand at a strip club we can surely help these people with a whole lot more

Member#1 :(fake smiling) Our chairman sure has a heart of gold

Hae Won: Thats a way of putting it but this will actually help with the image of the company .I mean who doesn't love charitable people,it's best to stay on the good side of the press.

Member #6:(fake smiling) She's also very smart

Hae Won: (meh)I know right ...okay I have nothing left to say  so goodbye  gentleman, I've got another meeting, have a nice day.

She just fake smiles then leaves the office

All the members start shouting at member #4

Member#1:Why would you say we'd take her to the strip club

Member#3:We agreed to deny it till the very end

Member #4:But I didn't accept that we went there,I just said we'd take her there

Member#2:Aish the difference is the same

Member #6:You should've just stayed quiet like the rest of us

They all agree

Member#4:Okay okay I'm sorry,I'll keep my mouth shut next time

Member #7:(annoyed) Start now

Member #1:Anyway which one of you has been telling her about us wanting to remove her as the chairman.

They all look at each other suspiciously

Member #6:You know that witch has a way of getting information

Member #8:We can't seem to do anything right these days,all of our plans are a waste.

They all agree

Member #4 :Omo....

As he's about to speak they all shush him

Member#4:But ...

They shush him once more

Member #8:You've said enough for today.

Member #4 then sends a message to all the board members  which reads

"Shut up you loud mouths, have you forgotten the new board member is still here"

Embarrassed by what they were saying they all just calm down and keep quiet.

Sung-jin:(meh) I guess this marks the end of the real meeting, (getting up)Good day gentleman.

He exits the office leaving them fighting amongst each other for not seeing him.

Sung-jin:They are all a bunch of pigs .

As Hae Won is  returning home she gets there at the same time as none other than Hyun Bin.

Hae Won: (puzzled) How did you get here?

Hyun Bin: (smirking) I have my ways.

Hae Won: Why are you here

Hyun Bin: To see your mom

Hae Won: I told you she doesn't want to see anyone

Hyun Bin: I'd like it if she can say it to my face okay

Hae Won: Okay, let me go in first she can't handle anymore surprises.

Hyun Bin: I'll be right here

Hae Won rushes in just as Miss Park has finished making dinner

Hae Won: I told you to take it easy

Miss Park: I got bored just lying in bed

Hae Won: Well you have a guest,

Miss Park: A guest for me?who is it...

Hyun Bin: (suddenly appearing) Its me

Hae Won :(annoyed) I told you to wait outside

Hyun Bin:(meh)Sorry I let myself in  it was getting kind chilly outside.Hello Miss Park

Miss Park:(nervous)  Ummm hi...

Hyun Bin: I just wanted to check on you .

Miss Park: Thank you

Hyun Bin: How are you

Hae Won: (annoyed) She's okay as you can see

Hyun Bin: I'm sorry I just came here unannounced

Miss Park: Its okay

Hyun Bin: I'm glad you're okay ,I'll get going then

Hae Won :(meh)Since you let yourself in I bet you can find your way out

Hyun Bin: Yes ,....I can

Miss Park :(hesitant) Wait....have dinner with us

Hae Won: (surprised) Wait what

Hyun Bin: Why thank you Miss Park,I'd love to.

Miss Park: I'll set the table

Hae Won: Let me help you.(annoyed)You can go to the dinning

Hyun Bin:Nah I also want help

They  set the table then all sit awkwardly

Miss Park: Dig in

Hae Won immediately starts dishing up large portions into her plate and starts stuffing her face as she just glares at Hyun Bin who is unbothered by her

Miss Park:(shy) Excuse her manners

Hyun Bin: No it's okay

Hae Won continues to eat her meal

Hyun Bin: You're an amazing cook just like my mom

Miss Park: Awe...thank you

Hyun Bin: I'm pretty sure your daughter is just as good .

Miss Park: Well she's actually much better than me.She's like a professional chef.

A flashback  makes Hae Won chokes on her food
