There Is A Place (Crowns Of Bearers # 5)

~Company Merging~

Jessica's P.O.V.

"Let's now welcome the two sisters who are the heirs of Blanc & Eclare"

The host called us and and two bodyguards slowly opened the door for us. Cheers were heard when we both walked down the aisle until we reached the center. The stage were arranged like the fashion runway, and an aile was connected to the door. There were many reporters, photographers and also, stockholders.

"Thank you Ms. Jessica, thank you Ms. Krystal. And now let's welcome the one and only heir of Vouge Classique together with Ms. Jung's son, Ace"

Kris walked poshly and smart while Ace was holding Kris' hand and looking around questioningly. A low chuckle escaped from my lips as Ace was quickly lifted up to the ground and was carried by Kris.

Kris walked towards me, slowly put Ace down and got the mic from the host

"Its such an honor to see each and everyone of you here. As we all know Blanc & Eclare have been reciveing popularity when it first launched its first clothing line. Thus Vouge Classique had also been revieving popularity since they also launched their fist clothing line. Blanc & Eclare and Vouge Classique both had recieved a wonderful welcome and popularity in Seoul, infact many people are now waiting for their clothing line launch." He said

"And now Ms. Jung and I am proud to present the merging of the two companies together with their new clothing line!" We walked down the stage and sat there only watching the models. Kris sat beside me while Ace is between me and Krystal.

"How did Dad and Mr. David prepared all of these within a day? Its quite imposible for them to create and merge the companies only for a day" I told hime feeling absurd

"Maybe the two have already planned everything, they just need our approval to do the pictorial for the billboard posters." He replied while giving me a glass of champange.

"Besides, you're right. Its impossible for them to sew these clothes for just a day and to prepare for this big event." He added

"Mommy" Ace called me

"Yes, sweetie?" I asked while bending my head to reach his height

"Mommy can I also drink that?" He cutely asked while blinking his big round eyes

"Ace, come here" Kris called him, so he quickly stood up and went over to Kris. Kris let him sit at his lap and gave him a wine.

"Kris, what's that?" I asked feeling troubled

"Don't worry its just juice" he leaned on my ear and whispered

"That's all for the clothing line of the two companies. Now let's now reveal the posters that'll signify the merging of these two companies" the host declared while there were two mens who are scrolling down the big poster and everyone erupted into cheers

All of them slowly walked towards us and congratulated the both of us.

"Congratulations Mr. Wu and Ms. Jung. You both have some chemistry in the poster, I hope your partnership will strengthen more and more as time comes" she said

"Actually, Ace have some features which looked like Kris. His eyes are the same with Kris, they're showing toughness yet there's sincerity in their gaze" she added while staring at Ace

"Well then thank you ma'am" I smiled warmly at her

Once the event was done Krystal volunteered to stay, so Kris and I decided to drive Ace to school now.

"Ace" someone called him, he turned and saw some of his friends so he quickly ran to them

"Hi, Ms. Jung its nice to see you here" they greeted me

"Its nice to see you too kids" I said as I ruffled their hair a little bit

"Ace, is that your dad?" One of his friends asked him while whispering, but I think his whisper is a bit loud so Kris also heard it. He chuckled lowly while Ace sloly walked towards us

"Yup, this is my daddy. Daddy these are my friends" Ace said while the others are looking up because of how Kris' height is just like a tower to the kids. You wouldn't even guessed that Ace was only 4 because of his height, others say that he's already 6 years old.

"G-Goodmorning Ace's daddy" they greeted, Kris slowly chuckled and crouch down to their level so the kids wouldn't have a hard time staring up.

"Goodmoring also" he said

"Ace? Oh? you're already here, come on let's go inside the teacher is waiting for you" one of the teachers excused him and the kids and directed them to their rooms

"Ms. Jung? Mr. Wu?" We turned around and saw the principal of the school walking towards us

"Congratulations on your company merging earlier, I heard it was a very succesful event" She trailed

"Thank you ma'am" we both smiled

"And uh... I would like to personally invite you to the family day here in Ace's school. We prepared some games for the family that'll engage them more in being sporty and have some bondings with their own family." She explained

"Then, we'll go ma'am no need to worry about us" I assured her.

"But as a donator in our school, I would like to request a little favor from you. Can you please prepare an intermission number for the kids?" She asked

"Oh, sure ma'am Jessica would really love to do it" Kris suddenly said so I bumped my shoulders to his and glared at him for a bit

"Thank you so much Ms. Jung, it would be a great day tomorrow" she said while slowly walked away.

I raised my brow and crossed my arm "Why did you say that hmmm?" I asked Kris while he just looked innocently at me

"Say what? You know what? Just get in the car or I'm going to leave you here alone. We still have to go back to the event" Kris said, I rolled my eyes and slowly got in.

"But how about Ace? He needs a-" I was just abkut to say something when Kris interupted me

"I'm going, I'm going to play with him as his dad tomorrow" he said while keeping his eyes on the road. I looked at him quite astonished

"wouldn't you ask about who is Ace's father? Why he isn't here with us?" I asked him

"No, I trust you Jess and I know that you wouldn't keep a secret if its really important." He said while holding my hand and squeezing it lightly.
