Blessing In Disguise

2.The meeting

Frustrated by the situation at hand Mark also went back to his own room. He desperately tried to think of a way to fix the matter on hand and possibly gain an apology for the twins. 

While he was experiencing an inner turmoil the phone rang worsening his mood. Mark begrudgingly got a hold of his phone before hastily picking it up. As soon as the owner's voice came into contact he immediately calmed down. "Hi hyung"
(It was his business partner and Bestfriend jeno)

" I was just notified by the board that your father is returning from his trip abroad from America and has requested for a meeting to be held with you solely" Said Jeno.
 Mark let out a confused uehh?? "Do you know what the meeting is about?"
" I'm afraid not" Jeno continued on to tell him that the meeting was also taking place in a restaurant setting which Mark thought was odd. But nonchalantly decided that it had something to do with the businesses recent downfall. 

Jeno wished Mark a goodnight before disconnecting the call. Mark let out a sigh and relaxed his shoulders. He also realised that this meant that the twins gifts had to wait most likely adding on more disappointment towards him from the pair. 
Mark decided it was time to go to sleep and as he had a feeling the next day wasn't going to treat him too well.

Mark's suspicion was proven right as he woke up the next day with a pounding headache and one look into his mirror quite literally highlighted the alpha’s dark circles. By the time he got ready there wasn't much time to have his breakfast so he made the spontaneous decision to skip it. Mark thankfully arrived at the set location with minutes to spare before making his way into the restaurant. 

The receptionist immediately took notice of him and gave him a sly smile. The alpha was quick to catch on to the fact that the lady was an omega and was almost certain that she was letting out her scent on purpose as if offering him a silent proposal. Nevertheless the omega quickly narrated the booked details and gave up on her attempt as Mark's lack of interest discouraged her. "r-room 12 sir". Said the petite omega in a small and trembling voice. Mark would be lying if he said he was not impressed with himself and the outcome of the situation. 

He opened the doors to the room he was informed about and in the center of the table sat the Ceo of the Lee corporations or his dad. After Mark seated himself in the adjacent seat his father acknowledged him with a small greeting followed by a forced grunt as if to prepare him for what is to come.

The whole room now was enveloped by the scent of the two dominant Male alpha pheromones and it became even more apparent as Mr Lee's personal assistant who was an omega was losing colour on her face. Seeing so The older male gestured to the assistant to step out of the room before breaking the silence with his son."Minhyung as you know my company has not been or under the best of circumstances this year, so In order to better the situation me and your mother have decided to merge our company into a partnership"
p"

He continueWe have already found a compatible firm to merge with who holds the same principles as ours and everything is ready to be signed and agreed upon except for one proposition from our partners. Minhyung, me and your mother have never asked you for any favours your whole life and we beg you to agree to this"is"

 Mark's dad said with a pleading look imposed on his face, but the younger was able to see right through it. Mark had to physically stop himself scoffing at the predicament because that was definitely false. He had to bite back his tongue not to ask any questions as well. Not because he wasn't intrigued but because he had a feeling it wasn't gonna be in his favour. 

Mr Lee continued: "We have proposed joining our business through a personal connection rather than a business partnership". It was for an Marriage to happen between the 2 families. His father finally revealed. All hell broke loose in Mark's brain. A good minute had passed by when his father so graciously asked if he agreed to this. 

Mark was now furious and with his voice loud and clear said ""No. Mr Lee looked at him with an amused smile and let out a small chuckle before saying. I knew me and your mother  had wasted our whole lives bringing you up and providing you with all of the riches the world had to offer. "I must say Minhyung I'm very disappointed"

 "However, I only asked you this as trying to be a good father. This deal will have to happen no matter what not only  because of your duty as the next in line for inheritance of the business name but also because the company had only started to suffer its losses after you my son joined last year. I'm only stating that this downfall is your fault and you have to man up and face the consequences". 

Mark was amazed at how his father could so bluntly accuse him but decided to stay quiet and accept his fate. He figured he could later work something out with his to be partner and agree up on a divorce a month or two later after a done deal. While Mark was desperately trying to think of a loophole out of the messy situation. The doors opened and Mark was hit by a distinct smell of musk and vodka (( I don't know what either of them smell like:/))

His father offered an answer to his curiosity with a small "That's them" when an old looking alpha pair walked in heads held up high with a timid looking omega trailing behind them as to hide himself from the 4 alphas currently present in the room. Mark got a good look at the boy who had bronzy golden skin and dark-brown hair with messy waves in his hair looking like a small adorable little puppy. 

He then tried to get a whiff of the laters scent but realised that he had used scent blockers. Mark didn't know why but somehow this upset him!!????
"Anyhow, his fiancé wasn't completely ugly" he thought.
