Aera

AID + ARI

"Alright, now that we're all here let's go over the complaint" The CEO starts the meeting off.

"Do you mind going over what happened?" He turns to ask me.

"Umm...I was just not 100% okay that day and I let my nerves get the best of me...so I caused a delay in the shoot because I couldn't calm myself down" I voice out while I look down at my hands.

This "complaint" was not filed by Alexandra the photographer, or well there was no complaint really. My managers just have to report my day-to-day work behavior...so that panic attack eventually got back to YG, prompting this meeting.

"Complaint" is not the right word, but I guess they will call it that.

"And what else was said?" The CEO inquires while everyone's eyes are on me.

Taking a deep breath I whisper, "Diva"... "She said I was a diva"

I guess she saw my crying and delaying the shoot...as me being a diva? Maybe she thought I was crying over nothing?... I don't know why she called me a diva...I really don't.

The CEO leans back in his chair while all of the other officials in the room look a bit disappointed.

I too feel the disappointment as well as the nervousness, if Alexandra were to open her mouth and call me a diva it can get out and turn people off from working with me.

Would that be my first scandal? Being called a diva?

When the door opens up, Yang Hyun-suk enters the room with an annoyed expression.

He takes his seat at the head of the table while the CEO clears his throat with a cough.

This little mishappen might not be such a big deal to others, but here reputation means everything and anything that can damage that is worrisome and leads to a meeting with the company's officials.

"What happened" YG demands while he looks around the room.

One of the managers that was present that day steps in to explain. But as he explains YG's eyes fall on me and I can't do anything but stare at my hands.

...

...

Once the manager finishes the room is dead silent while we all wait for YG's input.

...

...

...

"Are you working too much?"

"Do we need to cancel some projects because you can't handle it?"

YG asks me while his tone remains straight but his eyes scream annoyance with everyone.

"I can handle it...it was just one bad day" I voice out while I look him in the eye...but then look back down at my hands when his gaze scares me.

I don't know how he does it, but he just gives you a look and it will scare you...trust me.

"If you have another moment like that, it's better you isolate yourself and not let employees see that" The CEO states while I nod my head.

"Send over flowers and Aria will write out an apology letter" The CEO turns to an assistant to demand.

YG looks at him for a second with a frown before he turns his attention back to the others.

...

"Aria have you noticed anything worrisome  going on around you?" YG asks and I look up at him confused.
