The next few days passed as normally with Rosé taking over as Jennie's temporary secretary while they tried to find another. They. Rosé insisted that Jennie work with her to find a suitable replacement. Everything was going smoothly until she got a call from the research team.
Jennie brought the phone to her ear. "Yes?"
"Uhhh....Ms.Kim?"
Jennie frowned. "Yes. That's me. You should've recognized my voice by now."
"...y-yes. Right. We....we have a situation."
Jennie stood up. "What situation?" She said menacingly.
She heard the man loudly gulp on the other end. "D-did you not ch-check the news?"
Jennie slammed the phone on the receiver and turned on the TV.
"As of right now," began a reporter on screen. "KimTech, one of the biggest tech companies, has a plummeting stock. With everyone pulling out to buy a new application from another company that is said to be producing something decades ahead of its time."
Jennie watched with horror as the company's stock continued to collapse little by little.
She stormed out of her office and past Rosé's desk, who swiftly followed behind her.
She punched the elevator buttons to the research team's floor.
"Did you know about this?" She asked the blonde without turning around.
"I just found out, Jennie." She replied with the brunette's name in hopes of calming her down.
But Jennie was having none of it.
••••••••••
She barged onto her research team's floor and shouted, "What the hell is everyone doing?!"
They all gasped and one fainted in the back.
She rubbed her forehead. "If one of you doesn't explain what's happened in the next 10 seconds, then you will all get pay deduction."
All of them looked at one guy who bravely stepped up...while maintaining a six feet distance between Jennie.
"One of the members on our team...he...he sold our designs."
Jennie felt her world crash. "Are you talking about the designs that I spent 6 months on?"
The guy looked down and everyone didn't meet Jennie's eyes. As much as her employees were afraid of her, they knew Jennie worked very hard on every product KimTech released.
"I need a chair." Jennie ordered. The guy immediately brought his chair over and Jennie sat down.
She covered her face with both hands. She felt like crying but she couldn't look weak in front of everyone. She already ruled with an iron fist. To decimate that in a moment of weakness would be the end of her reputation.
She felt Rosé put her hand on her shoulder.
"Jennie...we'll find out who did this."
Jennie nodded silently. She stood up and looked at them.
"What is the company that the plans got sold to?"
They all shook their heads. "No one knows, Ms.Kim."
"Does the public know?"
"No. The public, along with us, just know that it's a not-well known tech company."
