A few days later.

A woman sat behind a newly furnished desk that was sent in a day or two ago. It was filled with little objects here and there in the drawers, but the surface contained a sole file organizer, pen holder, abstract lamp, and a computer where hands consistently flew over its keyboard. A large stack of documents was sitting a few inches away from the computer, all of which was read, circled, noted, and a few lucky ones were approved and signed by her. It had been a little over a week since she began her position here, but oddly enough, the tasks performed felt familiar. Perhaps it was because she used to frequently accompany her grandfather as a consultant, but nothing felt new. It was like she took a break off of this job and then came back a few months later.

A soft knock sounded on her door and without glancing up from the screen, she said: "Come in." A pair of heels clicked upon the off-white grey tiles that were newly waxed when she had the entire place redecorated. Her grandfather liked his office to be a nice blend of vintage and modern compromise, but she enjoyed an open layout plan with subtle hints of contemporary furniture and decorations.

"President Song, here is the afternoon decaffeinated tea that you’ve requested." A slender hand placed down a coaster before resting the heat-insulated mug on top of it. "The young lady to whom you invited yesterday just arrived. She’s currently waiting in the lounge room. Shall we have her sent to you?"

Song Areum was too immersed in her work to notice that a few hours had already passed. Her eyes strayed to the wooden block on her desk which was actually a clock and miniature calendar. It was well into the afternoon. How had she not realized this?

"That’s alright. She has already come a long way to reach here. I will go and see her." Song Areum closed the laptop and placed a hand upon the small pile of files she had separated from her larger stack.

"These are the approved ones. Make sure it’s run through with the attorney for a final look over." She turned to the larger category, "These are the rejected ones. I wrote the suggestions and problems on the margins. Luckily, they have learned from their mistakes last time and didn’t make the same ones, so it’s only minor issues. Please send it to the departments, then have my personal team look at it before it’s given to the Head Attorney, then lastly, me."

Song Areum stood up from her desk and walked with her secretary to the door. She had a stack of files in her hands. It was a miracle that her slender arms were able to hold so much paper without falling.

Song Areum took half of the stack and walked with her to the desk outside of the office, where the secretary sat. After placing it down, she was prepared to leave before pausing. "Has my next meeting been confirmed?"

After placing her stack down as well, Eun Ha Won raised her head and nodded, a bright smile on her face. "Yes, of course, President."

"Good. My guest will accompany me to today’s meeting." Song Areum said before heading in the direction of the large and comfortable lounge room. A young girl was sitting on the couch, nibbling away on the cookies and tea brought out for her.

"Ha-Na—"

Kang Ha-Na didn’t wait for Song Areum to finish her sentence before placing the cookies onto the plate and hopping off the couch. She dashed Song Areum and nearly collided into her. "I’ve missed you!" The girl said and luckily for Song Areum, her reflexes were quick enough to dodge the bear hug.
