I looked at myself in the mirror in my simple yet elegant black attire, my face has a bit of foundation, and my lips are naturally pink, so I don’t need lipstick. Just some lip balm to keep it moisturised and hair tied up in a ponytail. I look beautiful.

I feel beautiful.

My uncle has come to pick me up, and this is the first time he has come to my house

My uncle has come to pick me up, and this is the first time he has come to my house.

I saw my uncle on the couch patiently waiting for me while eating refreshment that my butler offered.

"Uncle, how do I look?" I asked happily

"Brat," he replied, making a frown. Why does he do this every time? My butler looked amused, probably cause for the first time he saw any of my relatives. He never saw anyone come here besides Rowan.

"Old Man, you dressed like I need to drop you off at an old age home on my way, and you are calling me, a b? at, huh?" I tease him, to which his expression becomes sour. He definitely hates it when I call him old.  Meanwhile, my butler was having a hard time suppressing his laughter at my comeback. 

"Come, brat, we will be late," he said, and I followed him.

Kim manufacturers produce the best and latest cars in Korea as well as worldwide. They're also known for being a wealthy family. Well, coming here made everyone believe it more. Their mansion is majestic.

In the ballroom, hundreds of guests are enjoying themselves.

Y/n was very much enthusiastic, still walking beside her uncle elegantly with her left hand in her dress pocket, her head held high, her whole aura screaming arrogance. She also had that unbothered look on her face.

Kang Sean was in his three-piece dark blue suit. His aura screams dominance, power. His face had a stoic, unreadable expression.

When both of them made an entrance, people around them stopped whatever they were engaged in and looked at them. Everyone around them was quiet, and the guests' eyes turned to look at them. Everyone knew Kang Sean.

But not many people knew about y/n just business associates. Now,besides that, everyone knew someone else had taken over the CEO position, but no clear information. But almost every wealthy businessman who has worked with Kang Corporation knew her. Everyone in this moment was curious about her identity.

People around them were confused watching a young girl beside the king of the business world. If they look closely, they will find we're related. When Roseanne got her mom's beautiful feature. Y/n features are more like her father's side like she is 5'8 tall. Anyway, where Rose looked like your favourite pink Rose.

Y/n looks like a gorgeous, intimidating woman whom you will think five times before messing with. A woman every woman dreams of and admires to become, but they know it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Their face is a definition of their character.

People who recognised her looked at her with respect. They rarely saw any girl so young who had a strong sense of business that surpassed most businessmen.   But who didn’t want to know about her identity?

Y/n could see her family and the Kim family were side by side. Everyone is congratulating them. Kim Taehyung is standing behind his father and mother with a stoic face. His expression is like 'I know what I am and who I am, you don’t need to tell me'. Beside them, my father, mother and dearest dears.

My father and mother looked at her proudly when people came to compliment them. Their proud smile never leaves their face.

With that look and talent, only Kim Taehyung suits Rose, that's how everyone feels.  Together, they look majestic and royal. The Golden couple.

"Do we need to have an awkward family reunion here, old man? " I asked cause it will look so rude if we don't, and we need to congratulate Kim Taehyung. It's his crowning ceremony also.

"Yes," he replied curtly. Like me, he is also not fond of this. His mood just became more sour when he remembered this.

"Can we eat first. How delicious the food looks." I  became hungry as soon as I saw so much delicious food. My uncle looked at me in disbelief, he just sighed but didn’t say anything.

Oh no people are already taking it. What if I miss anything?

"Oh hello, Sean. How have you been?  Who is this young girl?" a voice interrupted my daydream of food. Not that I show it in my expression or behaviour.

I looked at the man who just appeared out of nowhere. He is the owner of 'Daesang' it’s the second biggest food company in South  Korea right now. They've kept their traditional family recipes and made a lot of healthy food that has made them wealthy. They struggled a lot, but in the end, they made it.

"I'm good. She is my niece, y/n," Uncle said proudly.

"Oh, that young woman who took over such a huge company at such a young age. It’s such a pleasure to meet you." He said bowing.

"The pleasure is mine. " I was neither polite nor rude. I keep my professional mask on. In the business world, you can't trust anyone. Everyone has a motive to approach you specially when you are sitting in a top position.

I looked at the food court again from the corner of my eye. Oh no!  Too many people there and I prefer social distancing. My eyes fell on the palace where my so-called family and the Kim family were.

His intense eyes are staring in my direction. After a lifetime and a few years later, I saw him. The same man for whom I became insane and I don't  blame him. I dig my own grave.This man whom I used to love crazily. In this lifetime this is the first time I'm seeing him face to face.

His gaze is still intense like before, which always had me captive before. Dusting my useless emotions I think he is looking at uncle. In my previous life, he never spared me a single glance.
