JIMIN POV

I walked in the office, glancing at the members who are present at the moment. Swayer, Andrea, Rihanna and Arif. The four of them stood up from their seats bowing deeply in respect. I just give them a simple nod, walking around the middle chair and sitting down.

They all had their laptops turned on, the papers and spread sheets are scattered around the whole table. I rolled up the sleeves of my shirt and signalled them to take a seat.

Jimin- Looking at you all... I can assume that there's so many things you guys wanted to discuss.

Andrea- All work related Mr Park.

She shifted the stack of atleast six files infront of me. Turning her laptop to my way I glanced at the digital screen in front of me, where ther quarterly financial charts blinked to life. The red margins were thinner than expected but still present wich annoyed me.

Jimin- I thought you wanted to discuss about Baratheon Co-operation. Than why you are showing me financial charts now?

Andrea- Yeah, I still want to but I thought maybe you can first take a look at these.

Jimin- Start with Baratheon first. Get them out of the way first.

Andrea- The president Alain Dubois. This evening called me directly. Offered to... resume negotiations discreetly.

I narrowed my eyes as she connect the call to Dubois and than put it on speaker, before it was connected shortly. She set the phone in the middle of table and a polished voice of Baratheon's president filtered the room.

ON CALL:

Alain- Miss Andrea. I appreciate you contacting me again. I want to formally express regret for misunderstanding. The board acted out of caution: it wasn't personal. We're hoping to revisit the deal, perhaps under revised conditions more agreeable to Mr Park.

Jimin- You had my number Dubois. Yet you called my assistant like a coward. Why?

(The line went dead silent for a second. Then, a fake chuckle.)

Alain- Mr Park, I didn't expect you on the line. I simply thought-

Jimin- You thought wrong. Let me clarify something, since your board seems to operate on assumption and fear. I don't chase deals. I don't grovel for partnerships. You were given a seat at my table and you spat on the silver. Now you're calling my staff, hoping I'll overlook that insult?

Alian- Our legal team simply reacted to public concerns. Surely you understand how reputation-

Jimin- ...is everything. Which is why I can't associate with a corporation that wavers under pressure and questions its allies when the lights dim. I don't deal with shadows, Dubois. I bury them.

Alian- We can make significant amendments. Preferential shares. Licensing flexibility. We are willing to make this right.

Jimin- You want to make things right? Mr Dubois, I don't know if it's your courage or rather the lack of it.
