On this morning, Roseanne decided to visit some of the sites that Park Jimin had shortlisted for her headquarters. These sites were all located in prime space, in the middle of the bustling city and conveniently located near Park Capital and Lotte as well.
"Miss Lilian, a lot of celebrities have their eyes set on this building because of its location. The top three floors here are also the most sought after space right now because of its view." The property consultant explained as he toured Roseanne around. This was the first building that the property consultant had brought Roseanne and they were currently viewing the highest floor.
"Actually, just yesterday, Mrs. Kang was here and she was seriously considering buying the space on this level. But I quickly made up a reason to delay the transaction. Mr. Park insisted that you have a chance to view of this space and that you should have the priority of buying it if you like it."
"Mrs. Kang? As is Mr. Kang Daniel's wife?" she asked, wondering if he was referring to Jihyo or Kang Daniel's mother.
"Ah... I am sorry for the confusion. I meant Miss Li Jihyo. She insisted that we address her as Mrs. Kang..." the property consultant laughed awkwardly. "She wanted a space for her fashion brand. Since this place is near Kang Films and is very accessible, she immediately took a liking to the place."
"I can't help but wonder why the top three floors of this building are still vacant. Given that there are other companies occupying the other levels in this building, weren't there offers from any of these companies to occupy these floors too?" she asked.
"No... there weren't any." The brief answer of the consultant made Roseanne conclude that Park Jimin might have something to do about it. The latter wanted the best for her and this was pretty obvious as every site that he had shortlisted for her had great views and accessibility too.
Roseanne merely nodded at his words and didn't inquire any further. She roamed her eyes around and the more she looked at the space before her, the more she liked it. The view from this side of town was great and this building was also near Park Capital.
Her mind was mostly settled on this building. She thought about how grabbing lunch together with Park Jimin would be really convenient. Plus, she could also piss Jihyo off and the thought of it made her feel good.
"Good. I want this building. My secretary will be calling you today to settle the accounts," Roseanne said as she walked towards the floor to ceiling windows, her mind thinking about how she would want the whole place to look like.
After another ten minutes, Roseanne and Lia left the building. It was only ten in the morning and still too early for lunch. Before Roseanne and Park Jimin left for work in the morning, they had agreed to meet for lunch. As both of them had a rather busy schedule, Park Jimin had suggested that he would bring food from home and they could eat lunch together in his office.
In the meantime, Roseanne needed a place where she could do some work while waiting for her lunch appointment, and her husband's office was just the perfect place. Lia started up the car and drove towards Park Capital.
"President, news of President Park's marriage somehow made it online earlier but it was quickly suppressed and removed from the internet's top searches. It must be President Park's PR team," reported Lia.
"Hmmm... I already expected that to happen," Roseanne nonchalantly replied. News about Park Jimin online was very scarce. Roseanne understood that it was because her husband is a very private man.
Moreover, he could quickly use his connections to suppress any news about him that he didn't want anyone to know. "I'm guessing that someone deliberately leaked this news to the media. Someone wanted to stir trouble for him."
This was the only thing that Roseanne could think of right now. During last night's event, Park Jimin had told Bambam to warn everyone not to take any photos and videos of them. She was sure that most people would listen as they were afraid of Park Jimin. Of course, this is with the exception of the person who leaked the news.
"Did they mention my name? Any images?" Roseanne asked. Though she was not afraid of being public with their marriage, marrying the most eligible bachelor of the city was bound to bring some trouble for her. Roseanne was a little occupied right now and didn't have the energy and time to deal with the schemes of jealous women.
"No mention of your name. Only a blurred image of a man and a woman dancing was uploaded," Lia answered. "The thing is, though the news was quickly suppressed, there were still some netizens who managed to take a screenshot of the photo before it was taken down and shared it in their own social media accounts. Though your name was not mentioned, I think somehow it could be traced back to you if someone were to investigate it."
"Hmmm..." Roseanne nodded and turned her head to look at the traffic. She wanted some peace right now. However, if people were bold enough to come to her looking for trouble, she would gladly show them what the word crazy meant.
"Should we call Yeji and ask her to help investigate?" Lia asked.
"No need." Roseanne said. "Let's sit back and observe for now." Knowing how capable Park Jimin was, Roseanne wanted to see how he would solve this matter. "Any updates from the Arisons?"
"President... Yeji believes that Liam Arison is up to something. He was seen leaving a restaurant just minutes before Mr. Kang Daniel. Moreover, he also scheduled a private meeting with some of the biggest shareholders of Arisons Construction and... some prominent shareholders of A.R Mall and Boutique."
"Good. Keep me updated. I would love a good challenge," Roseanne said before crossing her arms across her chest. Park Jimin already informed her that Daniel was planning something against her. However, she was not able to ask anything about his accomplice.
If Liam and Daniel were indeed working together, Roseanne would not hesitate to destroy those two together.
....
While Roseanne was preparing herself for the trouble that was coming. Park Jimin's face was extremely dark as he listened to Secretary Han's update.
His hands were trembling and the temperature in the room seemed to be dropping even lower.
"President... Please calm down... Miss Roseanne is on her way... if she sees you like this... she...."
Park Jimin clenched his jaw and stared at his secretary. His gaze immediately made Secretary Han tremble. Park Jimin balled his fists before he said, "Tell me, Han Jisung... how should I tell her that there is a possibility that our child did not die from the accident but was surgically removed from her womb?"
