CONVERGENCE (WARPED Book Three)

Three

(3rd Person's POV)

"The CEO sure is fond of training, huh?! Looks like the military has greatly influenced him, though in a good way," Jang Minhyun, the head of An Min's security group, said to Secretary Yoon as they both finished taking a bath and wearing their suits to start the day.

"I agree. I just hope, though, that he leaves me out of it," Secretary Yoon complained.

"You might be in charge of thinking but still, you need stamina to keep yourself going for the whole day," Jang told him. "By the way, have you seen today's newspaper?"

"Not yet. Why do you ask?" he asked back.

"Just check it out. However, let me tell you in advance that our company just dodged a bullet, thanks to our CEO," Jang said.

"Oh. My. God," was all the words he could utter after reading the news regarding Seonghwa's acting president getting arrested for theft, extortion, and embezzlement.

Moreover, it was said that Shin Sujeong, Seonghwa's founder's granddaughter, is taking over the leadership role and is now actively replacing the members in the Board of Directors and Staff as one of the measures in rooting out the corruption inside the company.

"Secretary Yoon, we just received a call from Yeongdokpo News right now," one of the female staff under his wing reported upon entering the office.

"Yeongdokpo News? And why are they calling us?" he asked back.

"Well, they'd like to know our reason behind our falling out with Seonghwa since, you know, our company was the only one to escape considerable damage that would have cost us millions," the female staff member answered.

"Well...you know, I cannot just tell them that our CEO did it on a whim or rather, after getting angry at Seonghwa's ACTING PRESIDENT during their meeting," he chuckled, his eyes full of mirth. "Anyway, I'd like to enjoy this silent victory so, just ignore them for now."

"Erm...I would have believed that our CEO must be consulting a shaman or something if only I didn't witness that meeting first-hand. Not that I'm against any kind of fortune telling, though," the female staff commented. "I would have done the same if I were in his shoes. Moreover, I would have given that old man a slap," she added.

"Well, most people are underestimating our CEO just because of his age. Seriously, I did the same thing months ago," he confessed. "However, he has proven me wrong many times now, so I stand corrected," he added.

"All of us here are guilty in that regard, Sir. That's why we have to treat our CEO much better from now on," the female staff said.

"You're right. Anyway---oh, hello?" he asked after answering a call from Hajoon. "Oh, alright, Sir. Thank you so much," he added.

"Erm...Sir?" the female staff asked.

"Sir Hajoon just told me to get the black card in his house," he seriously replied.

"That black card? As in... that one?" the female staff asked.

"Yes. It's the only one anyway," he answered, smiling. "We are having a party tonight. Make sure to tell everyone about that," he added.

"Good morning, Princess Lucia!" one of my classmates said as he saw me entering the classroom.

"Good morning," I answered, giving him a smile to acknowledge his actions.

"Looks like you're in a good mood now, Princess Lucia," Jiwoo giggled as I sat on the seat next to hers.
