"You fucking kissed me in front of everyone!" Jungkook snapped, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Yes, and?" she shot back.
"The picture of you forcing your kiss upon me is all over the fucking internet! This has been a fucking scandal for fuck's sake...

-Chapter Forty Seven- My beautiful, wild, untamed Kenzie.
"What was this urgent meeting for, Mr. Jeon?" one of the head supervisors asked, panic tightening his voice.
"You all know what happened a week ago... my main headquarters burned," Mr. Jeon said.
"I'm already working on reconstruction. But while we were busy cleaning up the damage, someone inside this company used the moment to stab us in the back." He looked at everyone in the room with a hard, accusing stare.
"What happened?" Kenzie asked, leaning back in her chair, nails tapping the table.
"We have an impostor," Mr. Jeon bellowed, slamming both palms on the table so hard the thick glass trembled.
"Someone leaked our future project while we were distracted. They stole the idea that would put this branch on top, our billion-dollar project, a plan we spent years building."
"Who is that rat?" he shouted so loud the walls might have shivered. Everyone flinched at the volume, everyone except Jungkook and Kenzie.
"You all know what I do to anyone who double-crosses me," he said, voice cold. "So now is a good time to confess."
Kenzie watched the fear on the older workers' faces. They feared Jeon William more than they feared anything else.
How many people do you kill William?
"But, sir, we monitored every employee closely. Since the fire incident, we've been particularly vigilant, and I can assure you, nothing suspicious has occurred," one man stated firmly.
In anger, Mr. Jeon threw his laptop. His assistant flinched as the laptop landed on the floor, the screen already broken.
"There's a new company that just sealed a global deal with our international clients. This isn't a breach. This is sabotage! And you numbed idiots had no idea, and here you are guaranteeing me?"
"What company sir?" Hassan asked in doubt.
"Maverick Global," Jungkook hissed, clenching his fist.
"Who is this company?" Hassan demanded. "I've never heard of them. Did they even exist before?"
"It's been around," Jungkook said, "but only for small, irrelevant projects. Suddenly, in a week, they're everywhere. And what they presented wasn't even original, it was ours."
"How can someone so completely unknown be trending everywhere in the business world all of a sudden when this was supposed to be our place?" Jungkook grumbled.
"It doesn't take long for an unknown to rise, and it won't take long for a well-known to fall," Kenzie remarked, shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal, as if the downfall of the Jeon Empire wasn't bothering her even a bit.
