The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐶 Chapter Twelve 🐱

"You!"

Smack!

"Stupid!"

Smack!

"Brat!"

I paid no mind to Shion as she continued to scold and smack my arm for not talking to Jumin about the contract. It's not like I don't want Jumin as a partner, he would be very beneficial to the cafe seeing as I'm very busy, but all that contract showed me was that he wanted a large stake in the name of my idea. That contract was a joke. There was no way I was about to let myself work with someone who didn't really benefit me, but seeing as I'm busy as it is I might just scrap the idea all together.

I furrowed my brows at that last thought. No, I'm not going to scrap this project. In fact I'll just find someone else to co-manage the project who isn't going to make me out as a fool. And Lord Tubbington will be the face of my cafe.

"What are you smiling about? Your stubbornness just costed you a good partner!" Oh. That's right Shion's still mad. "Not only that but you being associated with the RFA at all could have found you a better partner for your project! All you had to do was string Jumin along and-" I glared at Shion who immediately shut her mouth. "Me stringing Jumin along would have been a waste of time, if Jumin took my project seriously he would have made me a more reasonable offer." I said bitterly as Lord Tubbington mover around in his kennel. I bit the inside of my cheek and leaned down to free him of his cage. "Be that as it may (Name), Jumin Han has a lot more resources than you do. This project might have been easier to execute if you had just talked to him about what you disliked." She did make a point. I could have talked to Jumin about the conditions. But it's too late to turn back and I can't wait to kick off these heels and pop open some wine.

"You're an alcoholic (Name)!"

Guess I voiced my thoughts. "Do you not see that your about to become more busy than you already are? Your going to be more stressed and your coping with your current stress with alcohol! Call Jumin and ask him to talk about the terms!" Shion said and I sighed. "No, I won't damage my pride by calling him." I said crossing my legs. "Don't bring your pride into this! Your just stubborn and hard headed!" She shouted smacking my shoulder once again and I shifted in my seat to look at her. "You may be an old friend of mine but I'm still your boss. You don't make the decisions I do so I am deciding to reject this contract. If Jumin had layed a better deal out on the table I would have accepted but he didn't so here we are. If he was serious and honestly saw interest in my business idea he would look over he ridiculous contract and call me for another meeting to discuss the revised terms. I will give him three days to do this, if not then it's his loss." I said looking down at Lord Tubbington. "Anyway I'm (Name) (Last Name)," I shrugged as I rubbed Lord Tubbingtons fur. "I'm well aware of my impact in the animal care community and most charities. I'm sure I can get someone else to offer me a better deal." I said before raising as hand a Shion. "And if you argue with me again I'll make you, as my wonderful assistant, clean out the horse stables at my main hospital." I said glaring at Shion. Shion shut her mouth and looked away from me. I looked out the window and smiled as I watched my ranch come into view.

The car came to a stop just as Gou and Ayami walked by with my who I named Lani and my who I name Morgan. "Hey (Name), we were just walking the horses a bit so their legs don't get stiff." Kou said holding up the reign. "Thank you, can you leave Lani sattled please? I'm gonna go for a ride after I get changed." I said turning back to Shion who was holding up the kennel now holding Lord Tubbington. "Don't drink and ride (Name)." Shion said as I took Lord Tubbingtion from her. "I won't." I said adjusting the strap on my purse with my free hand. I turned around and walked through the gate Ayano held open for me.

"You two can take the rest of the day off."

"Mr. Han, I know you may not want to hear this but I can't believe you didn't let me go over your proposal." Jaehee sighed as she handed Jumin the rejected proposal. "I can't believe she rejected it." Jumin said looking down at the contract. "In her defense, it was a horrible proposal." Jaehee said clasping her hands together. She felt out of line saying this to her boss but he had to hear it. She hadn't looked at the contract and when she did skim it she felt offended. Well, she felt offended that Doctor (Name) was given such a useless proposal.

"She is right Jumin." V said from his seat. "I'm sure you just offended the number one animal surgeon in South Korea with your proposal. I've seen you come up with way better proposals than this, why did you drag your feet on this proposal?" V asked turning towards Jumin. "Most business women I meet are swept off their feet by the pampering I just displayed but Doctor (Name) wasn't. This is a business I want to be serious about but if my co-manager can be wooed with a good meal and comfortable conversation then that's not someone I want to co-manage with. Even after my pampering she saw the proposal for what it was- ridiculous and shut it down right then and there. That's the type of co-manager I want to work with, someone who isn't going to be easily wooed and will reject ridiculous offers when they're placed on the table." Jumin said opening his desk drawer and pulling out a portfolio. "This is the proposal I'll have on the table next time I meet with her, it's beyond reasonable." Jumin said placing it on the desk. Jaehee looked down at the portfolio before giving Jumin a look of disbelief. "You mean you were just testing the waters?" She asked fixing her glasses. "Well, you have to test the waters before you dive in. The bottom may be closer than you think when the water is unclear." Jumin said standing from his seat and picking up the portfolio. "Jaehee clear my schedule and reserve a table for two at Nova for eight O'clock tonight. I want to make a good impression on my new co-manager." Jumin spoke as he and V stood up. Jaehee watched as her boss and the head of the RFA walked out of the office.

Jaehee had to admit, as offending as that was to the doctor, Jumin's method of testing the water proved was brilliant.

That is if Doctor (Name) will even look at this new proposal.
