The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 551 - Approval

Jisoo excused herself from the party, whispering to her sister and friends that she needed to go to the women's powder room. But the truth was that she desperately needed some time alone to make sense of everything that just happened.

Although she was a daughter of Jihoon, President-CEO of Kim Industries, she never considered herself as someone more special or of higher status than anyone. She was just Jisoo, child of Faye, owner of a small bookstore.

She wasn't a celebrity like her sister Jennie, nor the heir apparent like her eldest brother Hwi, or even a competitive high achiever like her second brother Jay. She only studied hard because she wanted to make her mother proud and to show her father that she appreciated him paying for her expensive education. That was it.

A simple, peaceful life with her mother...then someday with her own family of a gentle, loving husband and their cute children. That was what she always wanted.

But before she knew it, she and her best friend Chaeng declined her father's job offer and worked for her sister's company instead. And now she was a Chief Financial Officer right after graduating from university. Not only that, their company Orchidia Beauty was now the hottest trending topic in the beauty community. They sold out their pre-orders... Then tonight, they sold out everything in their inventory in five seconds.

FIVE SECONDS!!!!!

Her brain automatically crunched the numbers.

Just from the revenue of tonight's sales alone, the estimated net profit of Orchidia Beauty after all expenses and taxes were deducted would still instantly make the company a million-dollar company.

"Add the revenue from the pre-order sales from before and that's more than a million dollars in pure profit. US dollars. And this is only from the first batch of products released in the country," Jisoo murmured as she continued walking in the dark hallway. "Oh my God."

She pressed her hand against the cold and hard wall, while her other hand clutched her chest, trying to steady her wildly beating heart. Closing her eyes, she took a few deep breaths to stop herself from having a full-blown panic attack.

When did her life suddenly took a sharp turn and become so amazing like this?

An image of her beautiful sister appeared in her mind.

Jennie's existence was like the devil to Jisoo's life before, especially when they were younger. She couldn't count how many times she cried in anguish after her sister tormented her in the past. She hated and resented Jennie for bullying her, yet she couldn't make herself fight back because she felt ashamed for being an illegitimate child. She always thought that if the two of them fought, she would be always the one to lose because Jennie was the legitimate daughter while she was not. So she just endured...and endured...but it hurt so much. Yet she still endured despite the pain because she saw that her mother, Faye, did. If her mother could endure and stay strong, then she could do so too.

And it seemed that enduring for all those years paid off because her sister changed for the better after waking up from coma. Jennie was no longer a malicious bully. Her beautiful face now reflected a beautiful heart.

Although the scars from Jennie's bullying all those years ago couldn't be completely erased from her heart and mind, Jisoo couldn't find it in herself to retain any lingering hatred or resentment for her sister. She didn't how to explain it in a logical way.

"It's as if the Ruby back then and the Ruby now are two completely different people," she murmured as her eyes opened.

Now calmer, she continued to walk along the dark and empty hallway. The rhythmic click-clack of her high heels on the floor slowed down her heartbeat and cleared her mind, almost sending her into a meditative state.
