Seulgi stood in the corner of the dimmed meeting room where a presentation had begun. His brows scrunched together upon feeling vibrations in his breast pocket, where his phone resided.
Seulgi took a secretive glance towards his Boss whose interested expression meant everything was going smoothly.
Since his Boss was appeased, Seulgi peered down on his phone, his brows shooting up in confusion at the amount of miscalls from Sunmi. On a different occasion, he would've questioned the reason for receiving so many miscalls from Jennie's secretary. That is, until he saw the text messages.
Never had his heart sank so quickly with terror but rise with anticipation. Is it true? The President's wife had entered into labor? His mouth went dry. Oh dear god, when was this message last sent?! Ten minutes had passed, but the hospital was at least a twenty-minute drive. It was on the other side of the city.
With shaky hands, Seulgi glanced from the other company's representatives to Lisa who sat at the head of the table. What was he supposed to do in this situation? Was his Boss supposed to place family over work? Was that like him?
Seulgi was unsure of his next decision. There had been many occassions where Lisa had walked out of meetings for Jennie, but she always advised against it. His Boss couldn't care less about rescheduling everything if it meant he could see her.
Taking a leap of faith, Seulgi breathed in thruogh his nose. He quietly approached his Boss. "Sir?"
Lisa kept his eyes focused on the presentation screen but slightly raised a brow, indicating he had heard his secretary.
"President Kim is in labor."
Lisa shot out of his chair, which forced the presentor to glance at him in confusion. Every pair of eyes in the meeting room shifted to the most important man in question. They were perplexed to see his paled expression. The dimmed lights were transitioning back to its normal setting.
What was going on? The other company's represenatives held their breathes, anticipating the response of President Manoban. His decision mattered the most.
Seulgi opened his mouth, but it was too late. Lisa had already stormed out of the glass meeting room. The steps of his polished leather shoes echoed down the hallways before disappearing out of sight and sound.
"We apologize," Seulgi said with the bow of his head. "I'm afraid we'll have to reschedle this meeting for another time. An urgent situation has occured. We apologize for any inconeivences this might've caused. To reschedule, please contact me in the same number as before."
Seulgi hurriedly shook the hand of evey represenative and presentor. Then, he raced out of the room as if he was chased by demons. His speedwalk eventually broke into a mad dash towarsd the private elevator. He arrived just in time to see the private elevator doors nearly close.
"President!" Seulgi said in between pants as he struck a foot in between the closing doors. He let out a sigh of relief upon catching Lisa in time.
"Hurry up and get in," Lisa barked.
Seulgi didn't need to be told twice. He scrambled into the private elevator and began to contact the driver, Hu Wei. "The car will be waiting for us downstairs."
For the first time in his life, Lisa began to anxiously tap his foot in the elevator. It had been a while since he had last felt this type of panic in his life. His palms broke out in a cold sweat. His firstborn child was coming any minute now. The heir of his company, the first child of Jennie. If he missed the birth, he'd pummel everyone involved.

Seulgi stumbled out of the car with a puckered expression. Hu Wei had broken all sorts of traffic laws. With how quickly he sped down the road, you'd think Hu Wei was a race car driver, not a chaffuer!
