"I quit."
Jaehee paced back and forth. She was unsettled, though she made her decision but her body wasn't following her orders. "Are you sure?" Aeri asked, raising a brow as she was tired watching her sister running around the room.
"Yes, I don't think I can do this. I'm not meant for this field." Jaehee gave a stern look. Aeri rolled her eyes. However, Jaehee decided not to fight on her expression. She was busy on deciding.
After a while of pacing around, Aeri grew annoyed. "Jaehee!" She stood up from where she was sitting. "The conference is about to start in 5 minutes, you're wearing MM LaFleur. You can't quit." The girl placed both of her palms against her sister's shoulders.
"But, I don't—"
"Ah! I don't want to listen!" Aeri shushed her. The younger one pushed her towards the door. "Just stop hesitating for once and walk up that stage, freaking please." Aeri didn't let her sister to retort, she simply knocked on the door, signalling for the person behind that the lady of the day was ready.
Jaehee was nervous, she was about to look back to Aeri and tell her that she wasn't ready. However, before she could do so, the door opened. And the first person that caught her eyes was her mother. She was smiling so brightly, and that was when she realised that she once imagined experiencing this.
That was when she realised she was truly ready for this after all. Jaehee didn't look back, she simply locked eyes with the woman who gave birth to her and who was also her idol. A smile formed on her lips, in return as she welcomed her. The young lady stood next to her mother as she went up the stage.
At first, Jaehee was busy smiling at the people seated on down the stage. Then, a pair of eyes caught her attention. Doyoung sat among the rest in the front row, one leg crossed above the other as he threw a smile at her.
Without realising, their small brief eye contact came to an end as her mother lead her over to the podium.
"I'd like you to welcome the arising Finance Director and the face of Cerulean."
Cerulean was a newly launched fashion set from her mother's company. It was one of the projects that Jaehee had been working on from the scratch ever since her final year as a student.
With the help of her mother, Aeri, Jaehyun and of course, Taeyong who was well versed in the fashion world, she was finally able to launched it after two years of preparing it.
She named it Cerulean, as the blue colour was soothing to the eyes and it was supposed to be a moving on coping mechanism from Doyoung. She didn't know what she was thinking when she put the name of his favourite colour as the project's official name.
However, there wasn't much to regret anyway. Doyoung was by her side now and he helped a lot in finishing her final product.
Jaehee wasn't exaggerating, but she was super nervous as soon as she took the stand. The many eyes watching her was still an unfamiliar attention she had yet, got used to.
Today was the awaited conference, she was about to officially announce her hard work to the world and her new position in her mother's own company.
As the conference begin, Doyoung eyes never left her. It did manage to calm her down as she nervously took questions from reporters. Everything went well and Jaehee almost felt at ease to breathe until she accepted the last reporter's question.
"Is it true that you and the heir of Kim Corporation are in a relationship?" He asked boldly.
It took her by surprise, the two thought they were being discrete enough in hiding their relationship from the prying eyes of the public. There was utter silence in the room as they waited for her answer.
