Chapter 9 - Work on Track

Musical Suggestion: Let It Go (feat. Justin Bieber & 21 Savage)

The weeks flew by after the charity event. Young Joon and I had played well together. I was worried that things between us would be awkward but that was simply not the case. I think it kind of enhanced our rendezvous to the point we were absolutely wild for each other. We had a standing appointment on Friday ending on Saturday Morning and I was fine with that because it wasn't just sex, it was companionship and understanding.

The office was up and running, with Mindi's help, I was able to get everyone hired and in the office within just a few weeks after she was hired. She was good and she made me smile. She caught on quickly and she was hungry for this life. I was like that. I was hungry, but it felt like something was missing. I didn't know what because I was absolutely content.

I wanted to test the team out with a project in order to see if they could increase the foot traffic to a local spot. Nothing too big or over the top, just something simple. The hardest part was finding just the right place. It wasn't until Mindi met me at Ji-Won coffee shop, that she mentioned the idea.

"Abby, I think we should do the marketing and advertising on this place." Mindi said as she walked in after me. I grabbed the back corner table as usual and waited for Ji-Won to show his face.

"Yeah, I think you're right. This place could use a boost. But I think we need to speak to the owner first before we bring in more customers than he can handle."

"You are correct. You know him, don't you? He's cute."

"Yes, I know him. He is attractive in a sweet kind of way." I smiled thinking about him as he turned the corner wearing a black apron carrying a tray with two cups of coffee.

"Here you are. Is there anything else I can do for you?

"How's business Ji-Won? Are you happy with your business?

"Ah, uh, it's good. It keeps me afloat."

He wasn't too sure which direction Mindi was going as he looked confused.

"What she is asking is, are you happy with the amount of people that frequent your establishment?'

"Oh, well, it could be better. I wanted to hire someone else to relieve me from the counter so I could focus on the customers, increase the menu and give a little time. But I don't have enough people coming in to cover a new employee."

"Interesting, don't you think Mindi?"

"Yes Ms. Branson, it is very interesting," she looked at me and then back at Ji-Won. "Would you mind if we increase the foot traffic to your business?"

"How?"

"Well we want to present it to the community as if they have never known it to exist. It's like a relaunch. We will like to highlight your breakfast options and your freshly brewed coffee selections."

"Oh,"

"And of course, you would be in the commercial as well. We want to create something authentic and organic, not forced so it wouldn't feel staged and footage will be gathered during your normal days as you greet and serve your customers."

"Sounds good, are you sure you want to waste your talent on me?"

"Well, I need to make sure my team knows how to create an amazing project with real businesses no matter the size. With yours being a small business, it allows us to relate to other small business owners that are afraid of working with high level, well known marketing agencies that seem out of their league. I want to show you and others that it is obtainable."
