Secretary Cha was introduced briefly in an extra chapter posted on Patreon. In other places he's just mentioned as his assistant or secretary. Mr. Park's secretary is Mr. Yun. So don't confuse them both. 

Next Morning:

Jimin woke up only when his phone started ringing. Only a few people had this number and only his personal secretary Cha called him at this time of the morning mostly to wake him up. He reached for it blindly from where he left last night, finding it and pressing it to his ears.

"Good morning, Mr. Park. You asked me to wake you at 8am."

"Good morning, Cha. What's my schedule like?"

"We have a briefing in an hour and then a conference call at 9.30 a.m. I'm bringing your suit over." The beta said.

"How long do I have?" He groaned, rolling onto his back and trying to crack his eyes open.

"Fifteen minutes if you wish to stop by your mate's place and thirty minutes if we are heading straight to the office."

Jimin was up instantly. "Make it ten. He's at his friend's place." He jumped out of the bed, hopping on one foot as the sheet tangled with his leg and he pulled his feet out of it with difficulty. "And order breakfast for eight and have it sent to his friend Kwan's place. Arrange two cars to drop my mate and his friends at college."

"Noted, sir. Do you have anything specific in mind for breakfast?"

"Cherry Blossom isn't a picky eater. Include pork or beef. Have two dishes and order extra if they want to have some for later."

"Got it, sir. I'm at the gate. Will see you in a few."

He felt so refreshed after a good night's sleep. "Leave the suit in my childhood bedroom and have something to eat. Ask the chef to pack my breakfast. I'll have it in the car."

"Yes, sir."

He inhaled his mother's scent deeper and rushed out of the room only to stumble into his dad, who was pacing the floor looking like a lost puppy. Jimin paused, taking in how his father's face bloomed with hope as soon as he heard the sound of the door opening only to frown when he saw them.

The fifty some years old puppy scowled at the sight of him. "What are you doing there?" His lips jutted out. "She kicked me out and allowed you to sleep in?"

Jimin shrugged, a silly grin taking over his features. "What to do, dad? I'm her pup after all and you...are not."

He leaned forward, giving him a whiff of his mate's scent on him. He knew how petty his mom was for removing her nest and erasing her scent from his dad's room. The alpha noticed that tiny detail when he was cloth surfing in his father's closet earlier.
