SWEETHEART

Chapter-23

HI. Starting today..in the end of every chapter, I'll give you guys a target.

Finally, the date of foundation day has arrived. For every Jeon and the people working at Golden Enterprises it was a big day. A day of hope, belonging and everyone was excited for the experience.

The children lack the essential opportunities and support networks that would otherwise enable them to grow and have a fulfilling life since they were born into adversity.

Golden Enterprises dedicated to closing these disparities and giving underserved children access to a top-notch education and the tools they need to prosper through the funds they raise through the auction.

And this year, it's going to happen again.

Jeongguk assured Hyun-bin, who was a bit disappointed since he would be unable to attend the auction party with ye-Jin.

These NGOs were the ambition of Ye-Jin, and since every year both father-son made sure to fulfil whatever she'd dreamed about. Sadly, she won't be able to attend it but whenever she wakes up...she'll get what she'd visualised.

Taehyung went to his college promising hyun-bin , he'd return early. Kangmin wanted to take part in the ceremony and he was gladly invited by Taehyung after Jeongguk permitted. Woo young is already invited as he's the temporary member of the company.

In the meantime, Jeongguk had a meeting scheduled in the afternoon.

The high-rise office, with its floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the city, exuded power and success.

He left his office cabin with dong-yeon behind him. The door of the conference room was already held open by one of the executives. All of the men stood up to greet him, and he nodded back signalling them to sit.

The other company's CEO Son-gyu gave Jeongguk a professional handshake. They both had known each other for years since their father's leading days.

Son gyu asked his secretary to start the presentation who nodded and stood at the podium. The presentation started and after 25 minutes it ended while she looked proudly at her boss who nodded.

Soon, the Country's largest CEO, Jeon Jeongguk, sat across from the CEO of the other company, a freshly signed deal between them.

Jeongguk's cold demeanor was unreadable as usual. His sharp onyx eyes scanned the room, his posture stiff and formal, every movement deliberate.

After the final signatures were placed on the contract, both men sat back.

A secretary swiftly brought in a pot of tea, placing it on the table between them.

Jeongguk took a slow sip, his expression unchanged, focused only on the business at hand.

"Congratulations on your wedding, Jeongguk." Son gyu smiled at Jeongguk and then continued, " I went on a business trip and I missed it."

Jeongguk nodded back at him taking a sip of his coffee, "Thank you, Son-gyu. And It's okay."

"No buddy, it's not okay."......"But I heard your marriage was quite a news" Son-gyu wiggled his eyebrows teasing Jeongguk. "It must be exciting, having a young spouse."

Jeongguk clenched his fist , not liking the impudence. He raised his eyebrows as if daring Son-gyu to continue but even after years of business friendship, this man couldn't understand what, when and how to talk to the Jeons.

Dong-yeon who already guessed that this man is about to go down, that's the reason he's calmly standing beside Jeongguk's Seat and said,

"Beware, Mr Son. Take his name with respect. Don't forget that he's a JEON."
