Unable to bring herself to accept the wild spreading rumors, Aera managed to find a bar to clear her thoughts away.
The shareholders were also driving a petition for her to step down as president of the K group and only a few stood by her side while the others felt threatened by Ji-Hoon's move, prompting them to want to pick sides with him.
Ji-Hoon had not been available for the meeting because he had some important business to deal with at his own company and this was a great barrier to fishing out the truth if he really was going against the K group or the rumors were just another baseless gossip.
"What can I get you for tonight, ma'am." The bartender asked as Aera was taking long to order a shot.
Sweeping her out of her train of thoughts with his voice, Aera finally opened the door into reality, adjusting herself on the bar stool.
"Double shots of tequila."
