Chapter 24 - Tea

It's none other than Mr Lee and some younger woman

Flashback to last night

Ricky :(annoyed) Do you ever sleep?

Hae Won: (meh)I'm waiting for my medication to kick in

Ricky: You still use those

Hae Won: Yes

Ricky: You know they are not good for you

Hae Won :They keep me sane,anyway I didn't call to get lectured.Did you make the reservation

Ricky: It was really hard to get one last minute.They wanted me to pay tripple the price for that spot,what a joke .

Hae Won: Did you or did you not get the spot.

Ricky: Ofcourse I got it ,I cant be a cheapskate when it comes to the plan.I booked the room right before Mr Lee's reservation so your chances of running into him are high.

Hae Won: Okay right after the waiter clears the table I'll leave the room then come back a couple minutes later .I'll have to leave something in there I can fake looking for.

Ricky: Okay good luck,if you need anything just call.

Hae Won: Okay deal.

Present time

Hae Won: I'm sorry to bother you

Mr Lee:(smiling) I don't mind being bothered by a beautiful woman like you.

Hae Won :(fake smiling) You're too kind sir.Anyway I had this room a couple minutes ago ,I think my earring fell somewhere in here because I can't seem to find it.

Mr Lee: It's okay you can look around ,we'll even help you

Girl:(annoyed) Why would I help her?

Mr Lee:(grabbing her hand)Mind your manners Candy.

Candy:(annoyed) Okay okay let's just find the stupid earring already.

Sung-jin arrives as they are looking around the room.

Sung-jin: Did you lose something Sir

Candy suddenly shouts"Found it!"

Mr Lee: This young lady had lost her earring.

Sung-jin:(looking at her)You!

Hae Won: (fake smiling) Omo Sung-jin, what a coincidence

Mr Lee: You know each other

Hae Won: Yes he's my new business partner, how do you know him?

Mr Lee: He works for me

Hae Won :Wait so you're Mr Lee...(excitedly) THE Mr Lee!

Mr Lee:(proud) Yes yess

Hae Won: Aigoooo the picture my assistant showed me does you no justice ,you look even more handsome in real life

Mr Lee:(smirking) I get that alot

Sung-jin: (in mind)awee she's good,she's got him eating out the palm of her hand.

Hae Won: So that means you're actually my new business partner

Mr Lee: Yes ,it's such a small world we live in

Hae Won: That's very true,I'm glad we finally met.

Mr Lee: Join us for tea if you're not in much of a hurry.

Hae Won: I wouldn't want to intrude

Mr Lee: No,not at all .Sit down we have a lot to discuss.

Hae Won takes a seat.

Mr Lee: Why are you just standing there take a seat Sung-jin.

Sung-jin: Okay sir

Mr Lee: And Candy please excuse us.

Candy:(annoyed) Whatever!Here's your stupid earring

She storms out of the room

Hae Won: Thank you again for helping find it.

Mr Lee: You're welcome, so how is my Sung-jin doing

Hae Won: He is doing quiet well,he gets straight to the point.He's a really great business man ,all work no play.

Mr Lee: Yes he's a bit dull like that,I think that's why I like him so much.But Sung-jin why did you never mention that Miss Park is this pretty

Sung-jin: (meh)It might have slipped my mind

Mr Lee:(teasingly) Aish I see you young man trying to keep the prize all to yourself

Hae Won:You're too kind, but I don't think he notices me at all.He's just work, work and more work.

Mr Lee:(pleased)I see,so howcome the chairman isn't in korea

Hae Won: He has some business to take care of in the US ,when he's done he'll come back to Korea .

Mr Lee: I've never had the chance of meeting him or seeing him.Most people think he's a ghost.

Hae Won: He's a very busy man and he doesn't like being in the media and all.He's just a simple guy really.

Mr Lee: He must be proud to have a daughter like you running the show.

Hae Won: Well yes he's very proud, I'm not only a pretty face ,I'm really smart as well.

Mr Lee: A double threat

Hae Won: Exactly ,I'm going to take this company to great heights .

Mr Lee: I'm glad I got a really good chunk of shares then ,I always like profiting off my ventures.

Hae Won: Well then get prepared because protit plus more is headed your way

Mr Lee: (laughing) That's music to my ears

Hae Won: Anyway I have to get going, I have another meeting in a couple minutes.

Mr Lee: Okay we won't keep you,don't work too hard .(teasingly) You'll get old at young age like me.

Hae Won: Well the profit has to come from somewhere and hard work always pays off.

Mr Lee: Thats true

Hae Won: You're coming to the charity event right ?

Mr Lee :(confused) Which event?

Hae Won: Omo Sung-jin you haven't told him yet.

Sung-jin:(pissed)I was about to.

Hae Won:(smirking) Okay I'll leave you to it.Be sure to bring all your friends and family .Good day

Mr Lee:Good day.

Hae Won exits the private room pleased with her acting

Mr Lee :(pissed)What is this thing you haven't told me about.

Sung-jin:(meh) Awe it's just a stupid fundraising she's hosting tomorrow .She talked about it in the meeting from yesterday so I was going to tell you today

Mr Lee: Is that so

Sung-jin: Yes that's it,you know I don't keep things from you.

Mr Lee: I know.

Sung-jin :Eitherway you don't like such functions, you said they are depressing

Mr Lee:Yes charity events are extremely depressing BUT I don't mind if the host is that fine.I'll take a shot at her.

Sung-jin: Do you think she'll bite

Mr Lee: Well she's a different breed from Candy. She already has money and power she might not want an old man like me

Sung-jin: You're not old

Mr Lee: I pay you to say that. Eitherway if she's not bitting I'll force Hyun Bin on her he might stand a chance .
