THE HEIRS

Chapter 1

The corridors of KimCorp International hummed with the energy of a thriving business empire, each step echoing the legacy of the Kim family.

At the helm of this illustrious company stood Kim Minha, the epitome of strength, determination, and success. As the eldest daughter and COO, her presence commanded respect and reverence from all who crossed her path.

Minha’s sharp gaze swept across the bustling office, her presence exuding authority and grace.

“Here is the file you requested, Miss Kim,” Secretary Kwon or Kwon Eunbi, stated as she handed over the document.

Minha received the file and began to review its contents, her focused expression betraying no hint of the inner turmoil that Eunbi sensed beneath the surface. As Minha’s eyes scanned the documents, a furrow creased her brow, signaling a rare display of concern. The financial report before her revealed unexpected fluctuations in the company’s revenue projections, casting a shadow over the otherwise thriving business operations.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Eunbi hesitated, her fingers fidgeting with the edge of her notepad. “Miss Kim, there seems to be a discrepancy in the latest revenue forecast,” Eunbi’s voice wavered slightly, betraying her unease as she delivered the unwelcome news.

The implications of the sudden downturn in projected earnings loomed large, threatening to disrupt the stability and success that KimCorp International had long enjoyed under Minha’s leadership.

Startled by the revelation, Minha’s demeanor shifted subtly, a flicker of concern crossing her features before returning to her usual composed facade. The air in the room grew tense as the weight of the unexpected challenge settled over their exchange, casting a pall over the once bustling office.

Minha’s steely gaze met Eunbi’s, a silent acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation at hand. “Thank you for bringing this to my attention, Eunbi,” Minha’s voice remained steady, betraying none of the turmoil that churned beneath the surface. “I appreciate your diligence in uncovering this issue.”

A subtle pause hung in the air as Minha processed the implications of the sudden downturn in projected earnings. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on her shoulders, the threat of disruption to KimCorp International’s stability and success looming large.

“Prepare a comprehensive analysis of the discrepancies and assemble the department heads for an emergency meeting,” Minha’s directive cut through the mounting tension in the room. “We need to address this challenge head-on and swiftly. Keep me updated on any further developments,” she concluded, her tone a blend of authority and resolve, signaling her readiness to confront the unexpected challenge that now stood before them.

With a mixture of apprehension and determination, her voice clear and steady despite the lingering unease that gripped the room. “Understood, Miss Kim. I will immediately coordinate with the teams to conduct a thorough analysis of the revenue forecast discrepancies and arrange the emergency meeting with the department heads as per your instructions.”

Her commitment to executing Minha’s directives shone through, a testament to her dedication and professionalism in the face of adversity. “I will ensure that you are kept informed of any developments and progress made in addressing this challenge,” Eunbi affirmed, her tone conveying a sense of readiness to tackle the task at hand and support Minha in navigating the unexpected hurdles ahead.
