The Hawks won again, 30 to 20, Riri tells her new intern, Enzo, motioning him to jot down the details she was going to give him.

Enzo is confused when Riri tells him to make the necessary preparation for an exclusive interview with The Hawks star player, Choi Seungcheol.

But, ma'am, Enzo says How sure are you that Choi will choose our magazine to conduct the interviews? Last time I checked, we didn't send any of our reporters to the game, and there are many other more famous outlets coming to the press conference,

Riri stares at her intern, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. It takes her a while for the realization to hit in, before she throws her head back and laughs. Jeonghan, I'll call you back. She speaks on the phone, ending the call and motioning for Enzo to have a seat.

My bad, I forgot you were new here. She smiles. Let me tell you a story,

Jeonghan plasters a smile and nods. Thank you for the opportunity. He manages, wishing he could just sock Jihoon in the face.
