Kim Seohyun's POV

The same sound of the damned alarm rang as I opened my eyes and stared at the white yet dark ceiling for a while. Sleeping on the couch be the only thing I had been doing for the past few days. Looking down at the table, I groaned seeing the business papers I was working on. Shaking my head I limped my way to the kitchen wearing the uncomfortable office attire as I grabbed the coffee cup which smelt of fresh coffee.

"Breakfast? No time." Rushing to my room I grabbed a basic pair of work clothes as I checked the time. There was so need to rush. I was early like any other day. But punctuality was something I couldn't stop following. I walked out of the house holding my bad as I saw the car waiting. "Good morning noona." I remained silent as he chuckled starting the car. "Fine good morning Ms. Kim."

"Good morning assistant Yang. Could you not talk anymore and just drive?" Cold and rude. Something I can be described as often. And I don't care. Not even a bit. The car stopped in front of the huge building as I got down. Entering the see through door I ignored some bows and greetings and walked straight to the lift. "Oh my gosh she's here. Clean it quickly."

I glared at the spilt coffee right in front of the lift and then at the two workers' scared pupils. Weak and helpless. "Move." But none of my business. Them two moved quickly as I entered the squared room followed by Jungwon holding the files. "You've got a meeting in half an hour." Checking my mails I listened to my assistant as he stopped. "Breakfast?"

He will never stop being like this. Fortunately the door opened revealing my room in front as I got out ignoring him once again. "Did you check up with CEO Park?" Going through the pages, assistant Yang clicked his finger giving me the file. "Yes she'll meet up with you soon."

"Good. Anything else?" The young man wasn't leaving the room making me raise my tired eyebrows at him. "Chairman Kim wanted to talk to you." I bit my lips sighing and nodded waving my hand gesturing him to leave now as he followed.

"I see you called me." The caller from the other side said as I rolled my eyes. My step dad he was. No not the cruel ones. But not the best ones. A normal selfish father he was. "What do you need?" The old man chuckled. "Rude enough. Anyways. Chairman Lee, my old friend needs you to guide his son."

I stopped doodling on the bare page and frowned. "What even?" And the old man seriously sounded offended. "You're one of the youngest and best CEO's of the city. He wants you to teach his son your tricks." As if.

"No." And I cut the call.

Chairman Lee's POV

"I've come here to see the CEO." My deep voice said out as the receptionist made me sit at a VIP area. The company was indeed lavish. Looking straight at the see through glass I saw the familiar figure. And her aura matched the vibe I wanted. The cold CEO everyone is afraid of. The young girl bowed as I stood up fixing my suit. "You needed something Chairman Lee?" Her not so emotional voice tried sounding emotional as I chuckled nodding.

"How about a cup of tea at first CEO Kim?"

-

"I don't have time sir." The girl respectfully rejected my offer at one go as I clicked my tongue not knowing how to convince her to get my young soft hearted son to his senses. Kim Seohyun stood up grabbing her hand bag about to leave the place. But the next line stopped her. "You don't want the Lee-Kim brand to go downhill, now do you?"

And it hit right at the spot.

I could feel the angry girl's damned face as she tightened her fist looking back at me. "Fine. I'll do it."

Lee Heeseung's POV

I got out of the chopper as the ear destroying sound made me go deaf. But it was all ignored by the fact that I'm finally home now. I've finally come back to Korea. Looking at the huge building in front of it, I felt a sense of pride seeing the Lee surname carved all over it. "Damn them squeaky windows Jay-ah." I hugged my best friend who is supposingly my assistant as he hugged back seeing his friend.

"Shore shore Mr. Lee." Wow. I pushed him giving him a rather disgusted look. "No." He gave me a robotic smile nodding his head. "Yes."

"Stop. Just call me Heeseung."

"I can't call the next CEO by his name." Gosh. I rolled my eyes throwing my luggage at him as I entered the office building immediately getting showered by bows and greetings. Returning them I smiled to the employees until something got my attention. "This is the 3rd time I'm telling you to work on this matter properly. Can't you get it, you dumbshit??"

The manager scolded the male intern as I made my way to them. "What's wrong?" And like I expected the old lad got to his senses seeing me as he bowed down. "S-sir he can't seem to get this right at all." Lame. I walked forward grabbing the file from his hand and patted on his shoulder. "Calm down Mr. Choi. Don't shout at him. He's a newbie."

The manager left as I looked at the trembling man who sighed. "Thank you sir." Not this no needed respect again. "Shut up Hoon. Not you calling your bestie sir." I waved at him going to my room followed by Jay. Sitting on the office chair I roamed in circles not knowing what to do as Jay cleared his voice.

"Chairman Lee." I grabbed the phone from his hand and put it on speaker. "Yes dad?"

"I heard what happened today." Not Jay exposing me. I closed my eyes knowing he'd lecture me once again. This Lee never liked me getting into the intern's learning process. But my soft hearted self couldn't see them get scolded poorly. "You are too kind to handle the company Heeseung."

I raised my eyebrows at the other caller's line. "What do you mean dad?" I might be soft but I am not incompetent. Not in my eyes. "Kim Seohyun. CEO of the Kim company. I managed to convince her to teach you the proper methods." The man knew how to trigger me. I sighed chuckling in an annoyed manner at my father. "I can do this alone dad."

"You have no right to go against my will. Get to her work place tomorrow." And he cut the call as I gave up and sighed leaning towards the chair in misery.

"Who even is Kim Seohyun?"
