Loving Miss Kim | 18+

"It's my pleasure to finally meet the artist of these creations."

Cha Eunwoo, who has been chosen as the muse of the Index clothing brand, bowed and extended his hand to greet Jisoo.

Jisoo offered a business smile and shook hands with him. "I'm flustered. Why not have a proper discussion in the meeting."

"Certainly." The boy grinned and followed after her with board members.

"Ms. Kim, you have an event to attend tonight. And I received a call from the client regarding the new designs." Rose reported her boss as soon as she finished the meeting with the brand's muse.

The boy laid out a way to ask her for the dinner in a gentle manner. If she wasn't this preoccupied, she would have said 'yes' without further consideration.

"I'd like to have lunch with him this weekend. The faster, the better." She replied to her assistant as they entered the elevator.

As they both got inside, Rose contemplated whether to report this one too as she didn't want to bother her already exhausted boss.

This one was a message from the model of Quinn Ent. The girl who had the opposite personality Rose had expected as her boss's ongoing partner. Her boss was a woman whose heart was firm and secure, and couldn't easily be fooled by some mere looks or wealth.

Yet she's seeing the total bad news tagging along with her boss for these past few months.

Although Rose knew her boundaries to not mind her boss's private life, the bond she had formed with her boss over the time she's working wasn't that thin. Jisoo only had a rigid exterior to be respected and intimidated. While her formality was gentle and delicate.

Building up the bravery inside her head, Rose stated. "Ms. Kim, there's a message from Ms. M."

Rose took in her boss's reaction and to her relief, she didn't look disturbed or concerned.

"Ignore it." Jisoo replied.

"Yes," Rose noted but she had so many thoughts for that cold response of her boss. What happened when Ms. M came to Ms. Kim three days ago?

She also missed the time when Ms. M left the office.

"A phenomenal dress on the mastermind's body, enthralling indeed." Kim Taehyung, the organizer of tonight's event, leaned in as he took Jisoo's lace-gloved hand for a greeting kiss.

She elegantly returned the greeting and let him lead the way inside the venue. The party was a casual meeting for the stars and celebrities. However, for a business woman like Jisoo, a bleak pleasure was not her thing.

Kim Taehyung was a widely recognized designer for his splendid arts in the fashion industry. Majority of his works were appreciated and became a trend as soon as they were put on the runway. And he had always been Jisoo's role model since she started having a dream of becoming a designer. His affable personality and attractive charms were ones she got inspired by.

If the circumstances were altered, she would have liked the idea of pursuing him. On the contrary, she was not an emotionally unstable little girl, not anymore. Hence, relationships built on desires were irrelevant to her.

"Lots of young stars are striking these days, setting new trends left and right, aren't they?" Taehyung started the conversation as soon as they occupied the VIP table where there were only four chairs.

"They surely are." Jisoo agreed, remembering someone. "Which makes us work harder as the results."

Taehyung chuckled understandingly. "Definitely! I sometimes have a headache when creating a single piece. Back in the days, I didn't worry much about my arts getting rejected as there were no tough competitions. And now that young and talented artists like you are leveling beside me, I can't just live in the past."
