LISA.

"How did you do that?" Grandma asked as we watched Stephen and Kent being introduced to every business partners and associates by Mr. Smith

"What?"

"Lure them to take business course, finish them and now, they'll be working for MI?"

"I didn't lure them. We had a serious talk one day and told what they needed to know. And i'm glad they took my advice." I replied.

"I was shocked when you invited us on their commencement exercises. And as i watched them being trained by you made me believed that everything you touch becomes gold."

I laughed. "You think too highly of me, grandma."

My eyes found Miko who looks proud of his children. His smile was different. He looks like he's trying not to cry.

I accepted he will never see me as his daughter.

Stephen and Kris finished their degree in Business and they trained under MI with my supervision. I introduced to them every corner of MI, i brought them in meetings and negotiations. I brought them in gatherings and some biddings.

It was worth it.

A month ago, i asked Grandma for equal distribution of our inheritance. They wouldn't know until her last breath tho. Miko will never get any single cent. Not even his wife.

How about me? I'll step down and just be part of the executives as i focus on my label.

I guess, everything is coming into place. I can now focus on myself.

"Will you be okay?" She asked.

"Of course, grandma. You know you can visit me anytime."

"I'm too old to wander around."

"I'll visit you in the farm every month."

She nodded.

The party passed by like a blur. Instead of heading home, i went to my studio.

I'm planning to drop an album. In two years, i kept on working with other people. I would sometimes produced or featured on their song.

And it came to my attention that i have a growing fandom wishing me to release my own song. Like the first they heard me in Rosé's song.

So i'm gonna give them what they want and i feel it's my time.

"Will you be okay?" Grandma asked

"Ofcourse i will, gran." I smiled.

"I haven't seen your genuine smiles since you and Rosé broke up. Are you seeing other people?"

"I do. And i'm gonna have the time to see other people or a potential partner now that i've passed MI to the kids." I replied.

"Make sure i get to meet her."

I nodded.

I hope i can find one tho.

"Do you think we should do that?" I asked Shinju, the head of our media team.

"I think you should do some. Accept one of the brands too. We know you've been offered, Ms Lisa." Jiseung

We were walking about my first magazine cover. Time Magazine Korea is asking if i can be the cover and featured on their yearly magazine.

It's all about how i made my label leveled to the ones like YG and other huge entertainment agencies. For me, i haven't reach that level.

It's amazing, actually. In a few years, i made LM the way i wanted it to be. My artists are doing good and they are loved. Their songs are being praised and even bagging awards.

I have another girl group coming. We haven't tell them tho. Haha!

"Alright, i'll meet them in Paris." I replied.

"We will build the hype of your debut album by magazine covers, releasing teasers or snippets and etcetera. "

"We should create your sns. And you need to be active on your Instagram. When was your last post?" Shinju

"Maybe you can handle them, right? Or should i get a staff?"

"You can get one if you're not really comfortable of handling social media. It's actually surprising to see a young woman having no interest with sns." Jiseung

"I don't know how that really works. Okay, get me a staff for sns."

We planned what we have to do for my debut album. The schedules i have to meet. The promotions and whatelse.

It excites me. Releasing my own album.

As we progressed on my debut album, i tried to be comfortable in front of the camera. I flew to Paris after setting appointment with Celine and also started doing photo shoots for my introduction.

I spent a week doing photoshoots from different magazines where i answered some questions on my label, being Celine's Muse, my life as a young CEO and life after MI and to tease everyone of my upcoming debut album.

It was actually fun but i still hate being in front of the camera. I'll do a few stages and i'm focusing on other things.

Another day has passed with me turning down investors who wants a piece of my label. Ever since i put my label in public and everyone get to see how it rise and able to compete with other mighty Entertainment companies, people come and try to buy shares but i politely declined them.

I'm the only owner, CEO, President, board, executive or whatelse. It's hard actually but i'm having fun.

I turned my swivel chair to see the setting sun.

I sighed and fished out my phone. I played one of the tracks i will release soon.

A soft music aired making the ambiance more tragic.

If..if we are still friends, maybe.. surely i won't be able to come up with this kind of song.

I missed Rosie.

I always missed Rosie.

There wasn't a day i don't think about her and the last time i had a chance to make it right but still walked out on her.

And now, she's out there i couldn't reach.

Or maybe i could but i don't want to come near her anymore. She's happy and i might ruin it.

I took another sigh as the sky becomes dark. I stood up and turned off my phone. I cleaned my table and logged out.

I locked my office and went down.

Instead of heading the basement, i went to the lobby and head out.

Another night to drink so i could fall asleep easily.
