The slap was loud and packed with enough force to make Daniel stagger backward. Disbelief was written all over his face.
"You-"
"That slap was long overdue. It is for trying to kick me out of this place," Roseanne said coldly.
'Pa'
Roseanne gave Daniel another slap on the other side of his cheek.
"That one is for the bruise that your grip will cause me," Roseanne said while straightening her back before giving him a smile as if nothing had happened. "If you still want to talk then feel free to call my lawyer."
Roseanne then turned around and walked towards her friends who were ahead of her. "Ban them," she said to J Hope. She spoke loud enough for Daniel and his friends to hear her.
"You can't do that! So what if you are a little rich? We are still VIP clients of this club!" Lei was quick to argue. He had been a frequent customer of this club. How could anyone just kick him out? Moreover, that man was a foreigner.
"VIP?" J Hope smirked. "Your VIP status is nothing because I am the owner of this place!" J Hope immediately signaled his men to escort all of them outside, without giving them another chance to speak.
Highlights was just one of the many clubs that J Hope owned all over the world. The man loved to party and dance and so he started investing in private and high-end clubs.
....
"So you are planning to invest in Kang Films?" Roseanne smiled as she took a sip of champagne in her glass. Roseanne and Mr. Martin were currently having a private discussion in one of the VIP booths. While Lisa and the others were having drinking contests.
"Yes... I was. But I changed my mind after what happened tonight," Mr. Martin said. "I am going to cancel all my meetings with Mr. Kang first thing tomorrow."
"Don't," Roseanne said. "Kang Films is an extremely profitable company. As a businessman you should not miss this opportunity." A cunning glint was apparent in Roseanne's eyes that Mr. Martin didn't miss. He nodded knowingly.
He had been in the business industry for years now so he naturally understood the meaning behind Roseanne's words. Just like him, Roseanne also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. "What is your proposition?" he bluntly asked.
Mr. Martin had witnessed Roseanne's displeasure with Daniel earlier and he knew that she could not possibly have any good intentions towards the latter. Mr. Martin was not a fool. He knew that Roseanne was a level-headed businesswoman who never let her emotions get the better of her. This ability of hers had contributed to her success as a businesswoman. He was confident that Roseanne already had a plan against the Kang Films.
"For now..." Roseanne smiled at the man. "I don't have a plan. Kang Films is simply not my priority."
"I see...but in the future?" Mr. Martin asked.
"Well... let's just say, I am an extremely greedy person." Roseanne let out a small chuckle. " I will let you know my plans after I've settled down in this country."
"Settle? You are not coming back to London?" Mr. Martin asked.
"My husband... is from this country," Roseanne answered.
"Husband?" Mr. Martin raised an eyebrow.
"That would be me." Park Jimin suddenly appeared. He sat down next to Roseanne and kissed her hand. Then, he turned his attention towards the old man across from Roseanne and introduced himself, "I am Park Jimin. Roseanne's husband." His action was so smooth and graceful that Roseanne was speechless. It was as if he had been introducing himself as her husband for a long time.
Of course, her awe vanished as quickly as it came when she remembered how he was already introducing himself as her husband even before she had agreed to marry him.
"Good! Very Good! I did not expect to meet you as well." Mr. Martin let out laugh before he held out his hand to shake Park Jimin's hands. "I am Xander Martin and I am from the film industry in Europe. It is my pleasure to meet you Mr. Park."
"It seems that I missed a good show?" Park Jimin said while smiling sweetly at Roseanne. But his eyes darkened when he saw a purplish mark on Roseanne's fair arms. Someone dared to hurt Roseanne? Were they looking to die?
"Hmmm... you better ask your men to make sure whatever happened tonight does not get leaked out of the news. I don't want too much exposure," Roseanne said to him. She had not established herself in South Korea yet and too much exposure could cause some complications.
Mr. Martin was actually right, Roseanne wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to try and get into Kang Films but she was planning to do it slowly and meticulously. Now that Kang Daniel was aware her identity, it wouldn't be too long before the Li would know as well.
This could only mean that trouble would be coming for her in the next few days.
The three of them then continued their conversations that were centered around businesses in Europe. Park Jimin's knowledge about the business climate in Europe surprised Roseanne. In fact, his analysis was quite on par if not better than Roseanne.
This only made her smile. She felt like she had made the right decision to marry the man. Be it looks, money or intelligence, he was topnotch ah.
