Joo won: "Kim make sure the meeting with Mr.Alex happens at a place where nobody can know about us working together"

Kim amenably says:" ok sir"

Joo won: "Inform Mr.Alex it is all to maintain his privacy and confidentiality"

Kim: "ok sir, I will follow the instructions"

Kim starts to ponder over the place to conduct the meeting

Joo won with an assertive tone: "My place"

Kim wonders and asks: "Are you sure"?

Joo won looks at him

Kim: "I mean you never allow anyone ..are you sure you want to schedule meetings at your farmhouse of yours"

Joo won: "yeah. I think that is the safest place, I can think about"

Kim obediently responds: "Ok sir"

Joo won's phone rings

Dad calling...

Joo won picks up the phone

His father: "You and your mother had objections when I raised this issue.it is all over the news today..what do you think about it"

Joo won: "Dad I already told you that I am going to make it happen..whether you doubt it or there are stupid articles about it. I do not care"

His father: "You never"

Joo won: "Dad, I am on my way to the office. I will talk to you later"

His father: "Always remember do not let your arrogance or ego defame my company"

Joo won: "It has always shined brighter because of it..you need not worry"

Joo won hung up

Kim after day's work at office goes to Sun Ri's store

Shin Min is very happy

She says:"Hi kim" with a broad smile

Kim looks at her adorable smile,smiles back and says:"You look so happy"

Shin Min nods her head

Alex:"Hey you are here..I will be back with my chicken soup for you in a moment"

Kim interrupts:"no need Mr.Alex,i have some important things to discuss"

Kim sits opposite Sun Ri

"Ms.Ri,our CEO wants an offline meeting this weekend..it is scheduled at his farm house"

Sun Ri takes a pause ,ponders over it and responds:"OK"

Alex:"So we get to visit his farmhouse this weekend"

kim:"Yeah that is how it is now"

Sun Ri:"i will start sharing my inputs through mail starting from today.All of us feel indebted to him for having considered our requests,so it's time we give our best"

Shin Min:"Yeah he does not seem as cold as he appeared first"

Alex:"yeah he seems to be a nice man"

Kim:'it is good to hear such nice words about my boss from you all.thank you"

Sun Ri reaches home

After getting fresh up,she goes straight to work on her laptop

She organises her files on the laptop

She thenwrites down on a piece of paper,the kind of work she has been doing lately

She grabs a cup of coffee

She gets consumed in the work

After a while,she raises her head and looks at the tree and its fallen leaves,she realises the autumn is receeding

She wonders I have now no time to see it.

she looks little comforted with that thought and thinks

She feels being busy is sometimes good it does not allow you to have time to be sad"

While being immersed in the work

she falls asleep

Sleep which has been alluring her all this while comes through the medium of tiredness

In the morning

Joo won checks the mails he received

He reviews work of Sun Ri

He then calls his game development team head

"We will be have a meeting in the first hour"

He meets his game development head and asks them to share the problems existing with the present version of the game

The game head agrees to do the same

He and his team prepares a file and submits it to Joo won

Joo won tells kim:"let us go and handover the file in person"

Kim:"Sir I will do it sir"

Joo won with a hesitant tone:"I just want to make sure he is serious about this work..i feel confident that way,so let us go"

Joo won looks at Kim

Kim nods

Kim sits in his cabin

Kim's thoughts

"why does CEO wants to visit the store again

Given the kind of events that occured on first day I thought that it would be his last visit but he insists on visiting!

Kim's phone rings

Shin Min calling

Kim:"Yeah..I was about to call you"

Shin Min:'really"

Kim:'CEO intends to visit store today again"

Shin Min:"what?'

Kim:"Do not worrry..it would be a brief visit"

Shin Min:"but Mr Alex is planning to go out in the evening"

Kim:"that is fantastic"

Shin Min is confused :"What"

Kim:"make sure he leaves by the time we reach there"

Shin Min:"what will you tell you boss then"

Kim:"we will make him talk to Ms.Sun ri directly that way we can avoid alot of drama"

Shin Min:"yeah ok"

Shin Min goes to Sun ri

"Madam,Kim just informed me that CEO intends to visit us today and he asked me to let you attend the meeting alone with him"

Sun Ri:"what about Mr .Alex"

Shin Min:"he is going out madam"

Sun Ri:"ok i will handle it,do not worry"

Both smile

At INTELLEKT GROUP

Joo won smiles thinking about the incident in the store

his thoughts on seeing sun ri ...such deep eyes,why does it feel they carry mysteries as deep as an ocean...as she walks her hair strands keep popping on her face

his thoughts on seeing her in cabin looks from a distance....smiles

gets carried away for a while...there is something strange that im experiencing...what is this...

.suddenly Sun Ri looks at him..he stares away...Turns his back..walks away

Joo won whats wrong with you"

The way he ate all the chicken recipes there

The way he fought with that guy

thinking about all these makes him smile

His staff notices him smile

gossiping

ah our CEO must have fallen in love

no no i think he must have just had an idea on how to destroy a company

what?

I mean how to conquer a company..

love and all is out of focus for him

do not say so,how long can a young handsome guy like him stay single

it must be love

everyone smiles

Joo won enters the place

everyone gets terrified,greets him

Joo won quickly boards his car

in his mind:"why do i feel excited whenever iam going to visit that place.it is so weird and unusual of me..kim perceives it right...what is this"

He remembers the way he asked her whether she was alright and in other instance she grasped the fact that he was worried and asked him whether he is ok

All these thoughts cross his mind while he arrives at the store

He puts his hand on his hair,pats it a bit and walks straight to the store

His eyes look for Sun Ri everywhere

He listens to a voice:"Mr Joo won"

He turns back and finds her

Sun Ri offers him a seat in her cabin

Joo won looks lost at her sight

Sun ri:"Mr.joo won,sir.."

Joo won comes back to his senses

"yeah..where is Mr.Alex"

Sun Ri:"Sir actually he has gone out"

Joo won:"what how can he be so irresponsible on first day of work"

Sun Ri:"sorry sir actually he did not had a proper sleep was suffering from headache"

Joo won:"ok I think he had stayed up all night..the mails I received today tells that he must have had worked really late,I appreciate his work"

Sun Ri is happy to listen to those words

Sun Ri:"thank you sir..what would you like to have"

Joo won interrupts:"I would like to get down to business"

Sun Ri:"ok sir"

Joo won hands over the file

"Ms.Sun Ri these are the issues with the present version of the game and the hurdles for upgradation..please go through it and i need the solutions as early as possible"

Sun Ri:"ok sir"

As Sun Ri looks for Joo won to leave

Joo won did not want to leave early says

"so you were offering me something..."

Sun Ri:"what"?

Joo won stares

Sun Ri:"yeah sir would you like to have coffee"

Joo won:"I do not want to decline your hospitality...get me one"

Sun Ri moves to make a cup of coffee for him

While Sun Ri makes coffee for him

Joo won stares at her while she makes coffee

He gets lost in his thoughts and keeps smiling....

whispers..."iam being an idiot"

Kim overhears idiot

Kim says:"sorry sir"

Joo won gets startled

Kim:"you must have been angry as iam late"

Joo won (clears his throat):'yeah..you should be punctual"

Kim:"sorry sir"

Sun Ri comes with the cup of coffee she sees Kim

"Hello Mr.Kim,would you like to have some coffee" she asks while handing over the cup to Joo won

Kim:"No thank you"

Joo won looks delighted to have cup of coffee made by Sun Ri

As he is about to sip,Kim gets hold of his hand

Kim:"Sorry sir,Ms.Sun Ri must not have been aware that you will not have coffee at this hour"

Sun Ri looks amazed

Joo won:"Yeah but"

Kim takes away the cup of coffee

Sun Ri:"Iam sorry,i was not aware"

Joo won looks angrily at Kim but seems helpless

Joo won then sits in her cabin:"Ms.Sun Ri discuss the things with Mr.Alex soon,Keep me posted through mail...I will call you..I mean I will call Mr.Alex about the update tomorrow"

Sun Ri:"ok sir"

Joo won is about to leave

Sun ri asks:"sir can i have a word with Mr.Kim"

Joo won nods

Sun Ri and kim moves out of the cabin

Sun Ri:"Mr.Kim,Shin Min's brother's surgery is slated tomorrow morning"

Kim:"Really"

Sun Ri:"It is early in the morning,it would be good if you could join us,Shin Min would feel good if you are there"

Kim:"Sure"

Both smile

Kim:"Ms.Sun ri thank you.."

Both smile again

Joo won looks at them smiling and gets curious

Joo won(in his mind):"given his relationship with his boy friend who works here,he might be very close to these people"

Kim continues:"Ms.Sun Ri we shall be having a meeting at his farm house this weekend,do not worry i will make sure everything goes well"

Sun Ri:"Ok"

Kim looks at anxious Joo won

Kim:"oh Mr.CEO would be angry as he have meetings lined up,we should make a move now"

Sun Ri:"ok"

Kim enters the cabin:"Sir shall we start "

Joo won:"yeah"

Joo won leaves the cabin..Kim clears the way for him

Joo won looks back at Sun ri,who gets immersed in work

Kim opens the car door for him and Joo won boards the car

Joo won(in his mind):"Everytime i visit this place,it gives me vibes which i have never experienced..what is this,what is in store next"

Unintentionally,he blabbers it out"what is in store next"

Kim responds:"Sir,we have a stakeholder meeting on game development,review about the articles being published lately about our group and events at our rival group"

Joo won:"Events at rival group"

Kim:"Yes sir they have a board meeting today"

Joo won:"the agenda should be filled of JOO WON,JOO WON JOO WON"laughs

Kim nods

Joo won:"we need not worry about the things taking place there,let us focus on owning the place,Kim if something bothers you,you should either conquer it or ignore it completely,there is no middle way.Iam sure iam half way through in the journey of conquering it"

Kim:"Everyone believes in your abilities sir"

They reach office,Joo won joins the meeting

After day's work while leaving Kim goes to Joo won

"Sir,i have a request to make"

Joo won:"Go ahead"

Kim:"I have a personal appointment tomorrow,please allow me to be absent for half a day"

Joo won remembers the Sun ri and Kim having conversation at the store..

Joo won (in his mind):"is he going to meet them..anyway.."

Joo won:"ok Kim"

Kim:"Thank you sir"
