9:50 am

Crying and begging echoed through the hallways of the Kang Family Mansion. However, the staff; which was numbered almost 100; working there remained unbothered as if this was a matter of routine. An old woman,who was dressed as if she was the head of staff, kept telling the young girl to go away and that she'd get no help from the chairman.

Atleast let me see him!

She cried, the woman remained stern and her expression lacked sympathy. The girl, dropped on her knees as tears rolled down her rosy cheeks. Suddenly a maid yelled from upstairs

She's up.

The stern woman clapped twice as all the maids assembled, the cooks started to prepare breakfast. Schedules and lists were brought to the lobby.
A girl with a model figure, walked down the stairs,eyes fixed on her mobile. She had left her dark hair lose on her shoulders, face covered with make-up. Her attire spoke luxury, from her earrings to her limited edition jacket, everything was flawless.

Morning, Miss Jiah

She finally slid her phone into her purse and looked around, she stared at the girl and then at Madam kim, the head of staff.

Oh, don't worry about her, it's just some random girl crying to see the Chairman, says she's related to him. We'll get her out of here. Security!

Wait.

Everyone looked confused, as Jiah didn't usually bother with people of lower class or care about these situations.

Get up,let's take a walk.

The other girl, Meejin knew that Jiah could get her to the Chairman so she went along.

Why are you here?

The question didn't seem to be asked out of curiosity, Jiah's tone was rather threatening.

Shouldn't you ask who I am first.

Meejin answered quietly.

I asked,why are you here?

So you must know.

Meejin scoffed.

I came here to ask for a favour.

And what would that be?

Why do you even care?

Jiah took a deep breath.

Just answer me.

My mother has brain tumor, the local clinics can't help and I can't afford to get her treated in a well reputable hospital.

I can help you.

Meejin was taken aback by this statement.

But..in return you never show up here again.

Meejin thought for a second .

Fine,I won't.

Give me your number, I'll text you the doctor you need to go to, just tell him you're there from my reference, I'll handle the rest.

Jiah walked Meejin to the gate and told her driver to give her a ride home.

------------------

11:15 pm

Meejin came home after spending a day with friends,she lived an ideal life for a 16 y/o.

Oh dad,you came home early today!

The meeting ended earlier than expected.

Well should we spend some time togeth-

Go to your room,Jiah.

But I-

Chairman Kang looked towards Jiah.

Okay.

I'll take her place in your heart one day,I'll prove that I'm the perfect daughter for you.

------------------

The night went by in another argument between the chairman and his wife; Lee Sumin. This was usual whenever they came across each other. Although Sumin initially belonged from a poor family, as she raised her daughter alone after her husband died.

Soon after marrying Mr.Kang, she got the taste of this luxurious life and her greed took over. Kang Taeha longed for his family who he had abandoned but he didn't have the courage to look for them after what he had done, he kept hoping,one day his loving wife and daughter would return.
