Orchidia Beauty.
Compared to the last few weeks, things were more relaxed at the company now that V's Prinz men's line finally launched. Nevertheless, it was still quite busy because the company wanted to end the year with a bang just like most businesses during this period. As the Chief Financial Officer, Jisoo had to be very focused so that there wouldn't be any mistakes when crunching the numbers.
It was no problem for her especially right now that she was in an excellent mood. For the entire workday, Jisoi felt motivated and productive. Many of the employees and her other colleagues, including her best friend Chaeng, complimented that she looked blooming.
Chaeng knew the reason why she was looking positively radiant today. Fortunately, Chaeng didn't have the time to continue grumbling about Jisoo getting back together with Jiyong. Chaeng only had the time to say hello to Amanpio Kileksky and the other geniuses from Cross Academy before she needed to leave to attend another publicity event with V for his Prinz men's line.
With Chaeng gone, it was up to Jisoo to show the Cross Academy ladies around. Amanpio already headed straight to the Product Development Department by himself to meet up with Alric Bauer.
The most eye-catching out of all of them was definitely Ashandra Knightson. She was so beautiful that even the females couldn't help but form a crush on her. Although her charisma wasn't as strong as Jennie who had an extraordinary natural stage presence, Ashandra Knightson made up for it with her beauty, and of course, her genius talent and impressive reputation in the art world.
If Jisoo hadn't met Ashandra and the other Cross Academy ladies before this, she would've definitely felt intimidated by all these amazing geniuses. Fortunately, she already befriended all of them through her younger sister.
Later that afternoon, she received a call from Jiyong. She excused herself from the Cross Academy ladies to answer her phone.
"Hello, Nikolai?"
"I'm coming to pick you up right now," he told her.
She explained to him that she would be delayed today because she was showing Jennie's friends from Cross Academy around the company.
"No problem. I'll come up and join you. I'm familiar with them anyway. Do you mind?"
Her heart skipped a beat while a foolish smile spread across her face. She tried to hide it but her assistant and the other employees had already seen her. A knowing look passed between all of them when they stole glances at her.
"Of course, it's okay with me. I would love to show you around my workplace. But, uhm, is it okay with you? You've never shown yourself here whenever you come to pick me up before."
"I said I'm coming so of course I'm okay with it. I'll be there in about ten minutes. Inform someone of my arrival. I don't want to fucking waste my time checking in at the reception desk."
"Uhm, I'll meet you at the lobby myself."
"Okay, good. See you."
When Jisoo returned, the ladies immediately noticed her blushing face.
"Your boyfriend called?" AJ Zheneres asked in a teasing tone.
Jisoo blushed even more but she still nodded.
"Your boyfriend is Jiyong Kwon, am I right?" Florence O'Sevan asked. "Sir Kwon's grandson? I remember that the two of you couldn't keep your hands off each other during Ruby and Lisa's wedding."
The other ladies giggled. Jisoo covered her face in her shyness. Still, she nodded. The ladies giggled even more.
"Let's go to the lobby and wait for your boyfriend, then," Theresa Blipsburg suggested.
"Is it okay for you to go down all the way to the lobby with me?" Jisoo asked.
"Girl, although I'm married and gave birth to a baby, I wouldn't want to miss admiring a fine man like your Jiyong up close," AJ said, winking at her.
Jisoo smiled and felt proud of her man. "Okay. Let's go."
She led the group of geniuses down to the lobby where they continued chatting at the waiting area. They didn't wait long before a tall man entered the building. All eyes fell on him.
It wasn't just his huge size or his muscles that drew their attention. His handsome appearance despite the large, scary scar on his face and his oozing masculinity were undeniable. He was wearing a simple black windbreaker which was definitely not enough to shield him from the cold weather outside. Despite this, he didn't look cold at all. His mirrored shades concealed his eyes but that only added to his appeal.
AJ whistled. "The man is fine as hell."
Jisoo's heart was racing inside her chest. She had the strongest urge to run to her man and throw her arms around him. However, she restrained herself because she still needed to maintain a certain level of dignity as one of the executives in the company.
Jiyong scanned the area and soon found them. He gestured for her to stay put and walked towards them. The other ladies greeted him. He nodded at them while wrapping his arm around Jisoo's waist.
Audible gasps were heard in the lobby as the employees watched their CFO showing such blatant PDA with a man.
"Oh my! Is that CFO Kim's boyfriend? He's hot!"
"Look at all those muscles!"
"This is the first time I've seen CFO Kim's boyfriend! My gosh! I didn't expect that CFO Kim's type is that kind of macho man. I thought that with her good girl personality, her boyfriend is going to be the scholarly kind like CPO Bauer."
As these employees present in the lobby were mostly entry-level, they didn't recognize Jiyong at all.
Jisoo's phone rang. It was a business call. She excused herself again to answer it. Meanwhile, Jiyong chatted with his younger sister's friends. These were geniuses like Maria and it was always a good thing to form connections with this kind of people who might develop into powerful figures in the future.
None of them knew that there was a paparazzo taking shots of Ashandra Knightson inside Orchidia Beauty from a neighbouring building using ultra-long zoom lensed camera.
