Hye Soo's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her palm.
"We are doomed for sure" she muttered. However the culprit just kept on laughing and ranting.
"I'm so sorry, I mean we are so sorry sir" she pleaded, looking at his suit.
Kael clenched his jaw, his eyes settled on the drunk girl in front of him for a moment, then without saying a word, he turned and left.
"He is definitely mad. Who wouldn't be?" she sighed and dragged Min Ju to the car.

The next morning,
Min Ju woke up with a splitting headache. She held her head in pain, sitting up on the bed.
"The wonder girl is finally awake." Hye Soo said, sarcastically, handling her a plate.
"Drink up. This hangover soup will ease the pain." she said.
After washing up, Min Ju took the soup.
"What happened last night?" she asked. She tried to recall but was unable to. How she ended up in Hye Soo's place? She had no idea.
"You really don't remember anything?" Hye Soo asked and Min Ju shook her head.
"Nothing at all" she replied and Hye Soo sighed. If she should tell her exactly what she had done last night, she's afraid Min Ju might retract back into her shell and not want to follow her out anymore.
"Did I do anything stupid?"she probed further. "Well..." Hye Soo hesitated and Min Ju looked at her expectantly.
"Nothing bad happened. I was just teasing you." she said, chucking and Min Ju hit her with a pillow.
"Why would you do that? You scared me. I thought I had accidentally kissed a stranger or done something worse" she rolled her eyes.
"Kissing a stranger would have been far better...you did something worse!" Hye Soo screamed in her mind.
But she knew better than to say that out.
Min Ju checked her phone and saw a notification. She checked it and her eyes went wide opened. "Yes!" she squealed.
"What's that?" Hye Soo asked curiously.
"I have been offered a job at my dad's company" she said, excitedly and Hye Soo frowned.
"You requested a job at your dad's place" she asked.
"Yes, I did and before you ask me when and why I suddenly picked up an interest for business.
Well, it just happened" she said, getting up from the bed, wearing her slippers in a hurry and rushing down the stairs.
Hye Soo trailed behind, surprised by Min Ju's enthusiasm.
Office work had never appealed to Min Ju.
"Min Ju...
"I have to go now. Thanks for the soup, sweetheart. Bye" she said as she left hastily.
Min Ju arrived at the mansion.
"Where do you think you are coming from?" Myung Hee asked, immediately she entered but Min Ju just ran up the stairs without replying or greeting her.
"I'm talking to you!" she shouted, but no reply came.
Myung Hee grimaced. What has gotten into her?
After some minutes, Min Ju came down stairs, dressed in a black pencil skirt and a white shirt.
Her hair was packed in a bun, framed by loose strands.
She had applied makeup, which accentuated her beauty and she was looking really stunning.
Myung Hee arched her brows. "You came in, I asked you a question and you didn't reply me."
Min Ju's face was blank as she packed her stuffs into her bag. It was as if no one else was in the room.
"Are you crazy?" Myung Hee raised up her hand to slap her but Min Ju caught it midway, her gaze turning cold.
"How dare you!" Myung Hee shouted.
But Min Ju threw her hands off and Myung Hee almost lost her balance.
"Min Ju!" she screamed, shocked by her audacity.
"I'm warning you, witch. I'm trying so hard...." she stopped mid-way, taking a deep breath.
"Stay away from me!" she said, leaving and slamming the door.
Myung Hee stumbled and fell on the chair, her eyes red with anger. " How dare that nitwit! How dare she!"

Min Ju arrived at the company, her gaze icy as she walked in.
She went straight to her dad's office.
"Min Ju, you are finally here-" he paused when he saw how cold her face was.
"Are you okay, sweetie?" he asked, concerned.
"I'm fine, dad." she muttered, trying to calm down.
Seung-ho looked at her intently, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.
"I'm really fine, dad." she said, flashing a little smile.
"That's a relief. So, here is your file" he said, handling her some documents.
"You would be working as an assistant project manager, since you are just starting. Would you be able to handle it?" he asked.
"Of course, dad. There's nothing your girl can't handle." she said and he smiled, nodding his head.
"You don't necessarily have to begin today." he chipped in, but she shook her head. "I would like to start as soon as I can, which is now."
"Time is running" she added, a mischievous look on her face and Seung-ho got confused.
"Time is running?"
"Yes, dad. Time waits for no one" she replied.
"Are these all the documents I would be needing?" she asked.
"No, you'll come back for the rest." he said. He put a call through and one of the workers came in.
"Eun, this is my daughter, Min Ju. She would be working under you as an assistant project manager. Please, show her the ropes and treat her well" he said.
"Yes sir" Eun answered, and left the office together with Min Ju.
Eun flashed Min Ju a smile."Nice to meet you, miss. I'm Eun" he said, stretching out his hands towards her.
"The pleasure is all mine. I look forward to working with you" she said.
"And also, please don't treat me like the president's daughter. Infact, if possible, don't introduce me as the president's daughter.
I want to work under a comfortable environment and it might seem a bit awkward for me, if I'm treated differently" she said and Eun looked at her, shocked.
When the president had introduced as her as his daughter, and she would be working under him, he had thought she was going to he bossy, as the daughter of the president.
But her polite demeanour had cleared that thoughts off.
"I'll keep that in mind, miss."
They got to another office in the building with four people sitting, their heads bowed, working on computers.
Eun cleared his throat and they looked up, wondering who the girl by his side was.
"Everyone, this is Min Ju, she would be joining our team today as an assistant project manager." he said and they all greeted her.
She smiled, glad that Eun remembered to keep her identity hidden.
"Welcome to Team A, miss." one of the workers said.
"Thanks everyone. It's a pleasure to join this team. Really excited to work with you guys." she said, smiling brightly.
Step one, complete. As long as she now had access to her father's company, she would gradually build up her power and strength.

Seung-ho was working, when Ji Ho suddenly burst in.
"Dad!"
His face crumpled, annoyed by the way she barged in. "Ji Ho? Why are you here? And why did you come in like that?"
"Dad, I heard you allowed Min Ju work here, I couldn't believe it. I had to come here, myself" she fumed.
"Yeah, she now works here. Any problem with that?"
"There are a lot of problems, dad. I have begged you several times to allow me work here, but you didn't give me a listening ear." she said, her arms crossed.
"What is so special about working here? Besides, I already told you that you can use the course you studied to work in a modeling company.
I even gave you different job opportunities, but you shrugged them off. You only brought up working here, once and you never mentioned it again.
So why are you so worried now that your sister is here?" he asked.
"Well, I am not really interested in any other company. Dad, you make me feel like you love Min Ju more than me" she said, pulling an innocent look, and Seung-ho face softened.
"No dear, don't have that mindset. I love you both equally" he said.
"Dad prove it. If what you said is true, then allow me do what I want. I want to work here too" she pouted, and he sighed.
"Fine. I'll send a mail to you, soon. Since that's what you want, then I'll do it" he said and she smiled.
"Thanks dad, you are the best"
As she got out of the office, a sly smile spread across her face, " I wonder what Min Ju is up to, but she won't know what hit her. It's time to show her who the true heiress is. This company will be mine."
