Daebak Chingu

Chapter 8

I was up earlier than my dad and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. I got to making pancakes from scratch for everyone. I turned on the radio to listen to the greatest hits of the day and was caught up dancing and I accidently hurt appa.

I bowed in an apology and he rubbed my head saying it was okay. I served him and ate myself before I covered the food that was leftover for the others. I also cleaned the kitchen before I went to go finish getting ready.

Appa was waiting for me in the car when I got out of the house. He pulled out of the parking lot and turned up the radio to the radio station I was listening to when I bumped into him.

"My daughter, no one knows I have you. They know of our downfall, but I always told everyone that you were my niece, so no one knows about you. I'm sorry it had to be this way, but the reason why will come out later. The only child I basically have is Ha Jin." He told me with sadness in his voice.

"Appa, it's okay. I won't question why, but as long as I get to help you, that's all I care about."

Appa then got to rubbing my head like he used to do when I was 6.

After a short drive, we had arrived at the Supernova Industries headquarters. It had been a good while since I was in this building, right before grandpa passed away.

We entered and there were few staff there. I didn't say anything, but I followed dad to the elevators and we got on one.

"So Ra, if they ask you, you're back from studying in America and until you're enrolled in school, you're interning with me to see if accounting is for you. Okay?" I nodded and the elevator reached the floor it was supposed to.

We entered dad's office and he got straight to working. He gave me some papers to overlook and I did. I fixed errors and revised many of the papers when there was a knock on the door.

A young man that looked like he was in his around 17 walked in and said there was going to be a meeting involving him in an hour. Dad nodded and continued back to work after he left. I also continued to work when dad spoke to me.

"He's young for his age, but he is the chairwoman's nephew. He wishes to take over the company as the chairwoman's son is taking over the her other company. His name is Park Jin Young but he goes by Junior. He hopes that something would happen to make this his place. He's a really nice fellow though."

I nodded and tried to get as much as work done because I apparently was in working on the documents for the meeting. I got them all revised and in good order with 5 minutes to spare. I took them over to my dad and he looked up from his work.

"So Ra, keep them with you for now. You'll be joining me for the meeting as it is your internship. OKay?" "Okay appa, I'll do my best." "That's my girl," he said as he patted my head and started to head towards the elevator.

We went up 5 floors and entered a huge conference room. I looked at the wall above the chairman's seat to see my grandparent's picture still there. I wanted to tear up, but remembered I had work to do. I sat next to dad as people were entering.

I got up to hand out the financial packets when I slip on a cord only to be caught by Junior. I get myself together and thank him with a bow and finished doing my work. I could tell he was still watching me because he knew I didn't work here. I once again sat down by my dad and also right across from Junior.

The chairwoman entered and business started right away. They talked about every department and the progress each one had since last month. She nodded and entered only a few comments. She had it all composed and put together just like JB did. I was so focused on all that was being said that I grew upset when the meeting ended. We were about to be dissmissed when Junior interupted his aunt.
