Second Chance

190.Busy person

A tall white building stood in the center of City Z. Given the natural lighting outside, the building emitted a glistening white metallic color.

Standing indifferently in front of a window in private room inside H International was Jungkook. Both his hands in the pockets of his suit pant as he waited patiently. Well, at least trying to.

He has been waiting for almost an hour. He, who is known as the king of the business world is actually waiting.

After what seemed like forever, the door finally opens and a man enters the room. Like a painting come to life, Jungkook turn to look at the man.

The man smiles and stretch is hand out. He had heard stories of Jungkook and how the man handled the business world, but never would he have thought Jungkook to be this good looking.

"CEO Jeon, its a pleasure to meet you. I am Kang In-sung, please follow me this way."

Jungkook shook the man's hand and nod his head. He follows the Kang In-Sung out of the room.

As both men walked towards the elevator, the employees inside were curious about why the almighty CEO in the business world is here. However, no one dare to speak their minds, everyone maintained their feelings and continue to work.

Seeing this, Jungkook felt a little envy. His envy was towards the CEO of H International on how the man had such good employees, who minded their own businesses.

Entering the elevator, Kang In-Sung glance at Jungkook. He couldn't help but nod his head. Such a man like this, it's no wonder he is known for who he is. Even just standing next to Jungkook, he could feel the intimidation emitting.

Then remembering something, he sighed inside. Their CEO has not given an answer. The best he can do now is stall time for his boss.

The elevator stops and the door slides open. Kang In-Sung steps out with Jungkook closely behind.

"Please, this way."

Jungkook arch a brow in amusement. This floor was not like the others. It was a long hallway with a door at the very end.

Walking up to the door, Kang In-Sung punched in a code number on the door lock.

*click click click click*

The sound of multiple locks unlocking echo through the quiet hallway.

Jungkook frown when he sees and hear this. Just what is this room for the CEO of H International to have it highly secured. From the sounds just now, there's no doubt that this door it highly technical built.

The door wasn't pushed open as it automatically opens by itself. The lights inside turned on as Kang In-Sung enters the room with Jungkook following behind.

Seeing the inside of the room, Jungkook's frown deepens. Why is he brought to an empty room? There were no furnitures, just a plain room with white marble walls and a huge floor to ceiling window.

"My boss is currently unavailable at the moment, but as a very important guest of my boss, my boss agrees to let you see L'amour de ma vie."

Kang In Sung spoke as he walks towards the middle of the room. However, when he stop, the ground opens into a circle and a round showcase glass is brought up.

"My boss is still unsure whether to sell this ring or not. However... my boss trusts you enough to let you see it."

Which was half the truth. His boss doesn't know that the person wanting to purchase this ring is Jungkook. However, he needed to stall time and if it had been anyone else, he would never let the person near this ring.

Jungkook is a cold and ruthless man, but he is a man of his words. Plus, he would not step so low as to steal a ring.

Hearing this, Jungkook's cold and indifferent face arch a brow. Stepping forward, he walks up to the round glass case.

Sitting in the center of a pillow was the beautiful and perfectly define diamond ring anyone has ever seen. It's crystal glistening as light shines onto it as if making one blind.

Looking at the ring, Jungkook felt it was the perfect match for his wife. A one of a kind ring.

L'amour de ma vie.

As Lisa is the love of his life.

——————-

Two hours passed by quickly. Jungkook glance down at the time on his wrist watch. He frowns at the amount of time he's waited.

After taking a look at the ring, he was brought back to the same room. Sitting in a chair, he sighs and looks at Kang In-Sung, "Does your boss intend for me to keep waiting?"

"..."

Kang In-Sung stare at the man and he did not know what to say. Scratching the back of his head, he forces a small chuckle.

"Ha Ha... you see, my boss is very busy, especially during this time of the year."

"I'm a busy person myself."

"...."

Kang In-Sung did not know whether to laugh or cry hearing the man's words. Inside his heart, he could only pray that his boss hurries and make a decision. Everyone in Asia knows how ruthless Jungkook is... One word from the man and he can sabotage one's life.

"Mr. Jeon, if you will—"

"I'll take my leave."

Jungkook interrupts Kang In-Sung's words. Standing up, he fix his suit jacket.

"I respect your boss as he is busy. Do let him know that I am very interested in L'amour de ma vie and I would like to purchase it as soon as possible."

"....."

Kang In-Sung was dumbfounded. When Jungkook cut his words off, he had thought the man would explode in anger. Yet, Jungkook didn't look anywhere near anger.....

Ignoring the man's dumbfounded look, Jungkook walks to the door. Just when his hand touch the door knob, he parted his lips to speak.

"Please keep my identity hidden."

"...."

Jungkook leaves the room while Kang In-Sung was once more dumbfounded. Lifting his hand, he couldn't help but scratch his head again.

Keep this hidden? Then what is supposed to say to his boss? That some unknown person wants the ring? Would his boss even sell the ring to some 'unknown' person?

Thinking of his boss, Kang In-Sung sighed in self pity. He's been with H International for 8 years. After he met Jungkook for the first time, he can't help but feel sorry for himself.

China has someone cold like Jungkook, while Korea has his boss.

Kang In-Sung lets out a sigh again. L'amour de ma vie is the most important item to his boss. Will his boss finally let this item go?

——————-

Stepping out of H International, Jungkook takes his phone out to call his assistant. He walks in the direction of his waiting car as his bodyguard waited for him.

["Assistant Choi, ready for duty!"]

"Find out who is H International's CEO. Locate him and give me—-"

Just when Jungkook was about to get inside the car, every remaining word he planned to say seemed to have stuck at his throat.

["Boss? Boss?"]

"Find what you can and send me the details."

Not waiting for a response, he hangs up the phone. His thumb slides through his phone screen and he calls a number.

Waiting for the ring to go through, he frowns. The call goes straight to voicemail after three rings. Repeating his steps, he calls again. However, all calls went to voicemail. Frowning more, he turn his head to the busy street of City Z.

Getting inside the car, he instructs his bodyguard.

"Follow the license plate 8344."
