"It's traffic Ms. Seo."

A week after...

Soojin enters the building wearing her most expensive suit, cameras flashes towards her and it honestly hurts her eyes.

Soyeon was standing by the platform alongside with Minher who were both looking so solemn making Soojin chuckle. "Can you two at least smile?" Soojin walks up the platform, giving Soyeon a hug.

"How am I supposed to do that when I'm about to carry such responsibility." Soojin laughs as she motions for everyone to finally settle down.

Minhee holds the mic testing it, as a PowerPoint is being presented. She soon handed the microphone to Soojin.

"Let's make this fast since I have to run after the girl I love. Good morning everyone, I'm Seo Soojin of Cho Group of Companies, current CEO of one of the affiliate companies. I am here today to announce something important to all of you, I am officially and formally backing down as a CEO and as an executive board member of the Cho Group of Companies." Soojin paused, and whispering filled the ground floor.

The employees were definitely not aware of this except for Soyeon and Minhee. Even her family doesn't know about this, well maybe except for one.

The flashes of the camera became strips of light as they continue to capture a scoop of the news. "I'm appointing Ms. Jeon Soyeon as the new Chief Executive Officer, I hope that this will not change at how you look at the quality service that we give you. No matter who is running the company. We stand for quality and cost-effective products." Soojin gave a 90° bow to the media.

Minnie was choking on her water as she watches the news, Miyeon immediately came to her aid. "What's wrong?" Miyeon asks as she looks at what Minnie was watching.

Her sister is the headline for today.

"Are you aware of this?" Miyeon shook her head at Minnie's question. They safely arrived back to Seoul a week ago with the assistance of their father. "I'll just go make a call." Minnie nodded as she continues watching the news.

Miyeon was pacing around the living room but her sister wasn't picking and so is Soyeon.

"You're making me dizzy." Miyeon's father walked down the stairs, immediately smiling upon seeing Minnie by the couch. "What's wrong with your girlfriend?" Mr. Cho sat down beside Minnie who's totally comfortable with the man.

"Well Soojin just dropped a bomb." Mr. Cho laughs confusing Miyeon. "Dad this is not something you should be laughing at." Mr. Cho continues to laugh but soon stopped seeing Miyeon glaring at him.

"She told me about this two days ago and you don't have to worry about your sister. Your grandfather is well being taken care of by someone." Mr. Cho could only grin imagining how her brother is probably keeping an eye on their father right now.

"How can she not tell me? Am I not part of the family anymore?" Miyeon dramatically falls on Minnie making her father gawked at them.

"If I was her I wouldn't also tell you by the way how you act." Minnie earned a crushing pain pinched on her waist.

As soon as the press conference ended, Soojin left the company with Minhee as soon as she can. "What time is it?" Soojin asks.

"9:40 am Ms. Seo." Soojin was anxiously tapping her foot on the ground as the car drove through the road, heading to the airport. "Leander can you drive a bit more faster?" Soojin looks out of the window as the car sped through the road not minding about the violations they will get after this.

"Your flight will be by 9:55." Minhee reminded and just then Leander stopped the car as a series of honks can be heard.

"It's traffic Ms. Seo." Leander said as he checks the situation outside. Soojin groaned in frustration, she needs to arrive in Taiwan on time before Shuhua's flight to Paris leaves.

===

"Haven't heard anything from her?" Mr. Yeh asks, and a visible sadness can be seen through Shuhua's eyes. "Not even a single word." Shuhua replied as she double checks her things making sure she won't leave anything behind.

"Frequently call us here okay?" Shuhua chuckles, her family is acting like she'll be away for more than a year when in fact she'll be away for one week only. "I will or you all could just follow me there." Shuhua suggested and just like that her older sister had her eyes wide open.

"Dad transfer me some money." Shuhua laughs at how her older sister just realized that she literally just go there in a jiffy.

"What time is your flight? Who's going to pick you up here? Debby or Muxi or both?" She shrugs her shoulders, she doesn't know actually but most probably it'll be Muxi since she's her manager.

"My flight is 11:00 am, I still have a lot of time to spare before going to the airport."

Soojin runs inside the airport with her passport in hand. That's the only thing she has, well with phone and wallet of course.

Minhee came to her with an anxious expression on her face. "What's the problem?" Soojin asks getting worried. "Your flight might be delayed, the aircraft is going to arrive late." Soojin crouches down on the floor.

"Buy a private jet plane right now at this moment." Soojin commanded as she checks the time. Her heart dropped the second she saw the time.

There was no way she'll be able to reach Taiwan at this point. She can't possibly fly to Taiwan in just 40 minutes.

"Forget about it Minhee, let's go back to my parents house." Soojin felt dejected as she clutched to her passport, "We won't reach Taiwan in time." Soojin added as she walks ahead, exiting the airport.

Leander stood by the car feeling confused to why Soojin cameback. But he immediately understood upon seeing the expression on Minhee's face.

"Guess I'll have to try harder next time."
