C'EST LA VIE (Completed)

Chapitre 4 - Rencontre

Seoul | 2018 

It is a hectic day for Son Chaeyoung, she was way too drunk yesterday, she can't hear the alarm and will come late for her meeting with the client today at her office. She hates to drink, if it's not because of Chou Tzuyu, she won't go to the get-together. Chaeyoung is in rush now, while she hates being late. She locks her apartment and runs to her car full speed to the office. Even eat her bread in the car, she hates to eat her breakfast in a rush. She sighs too many times at traffic lights. She cursed too many times. She blames Tzuyu in her blabbering.

And finally, she arrived at the office, she valet park her car by tossing the key to the chauffeur, rushing to the front door and to the elevator. 10 minutes late hope that the client hasn't arrived yet. The elevator closes itself.

Just before it is fully closed she then put her hand to the button, making it open again.

Chaeyoung sees something.

A girl passing in front of her, running. 

Chaeyoung sees someone, someone she knows it well.

She always appeared in Chaeyoung's life, but not like this. 

Chaeyoung then forgets about the meeting, her mind is somehow all over the place now. She gets out from the elevator and tries to chase the girl. Chaeyoung try to find her who's now is nowhere to be seen. But Chaeyoung chases it like crazy. She gotta check if her eyes were wrong or not. Her heart beats so fast while running.

She runs through the hallway. Taking the stairs to the 2nd floor. Her employees are all confused seeing her running. Found nothing, she goes to the 3rd floor, she looks everywhere, opens every door she met. 

In her endless chase, she then meets Mingyu.

"Chaeyoung what are you doing here, meeting about to start, hurry up" Mingyu then drag her, even though her eyes still fixed to the hallway. 

It's just another illusion she thought.

Just like everything is an illusion for her. 

She enters the meeting room, she's tired. She's been rushed this morning, then she needed to catch a shadow. She's just tired.  She sits for a while, catching her breath, thank God the client haven't arrived yet. She then set up her presentation while catching her breath. Then the clients one by one enter the room. The meeting rooms are now filled. Chaeyoung is nervous as well, but before she starts the presentation she would look to her wife at the corner and it somehow ease her fear. 

"She's here, she won't run, she's here," Chaeyoung thinks for herself. 

Chaeyoung starts the presentation.

Of course, when Chaeyoung in-charge in one campaign, everything will happen smoothly. Somehow the agency kind of forgive her attitude because at the end of the day she brings more clients with her brilliant ideas.

"That's all for me, I hope that you guys consider our ideas, Thank you" She bow to the clients.

The clients like the ideas, they will meet again soon to finalize the budget and the media placement, but overall the strategy is approved. As expected, Son Chaeyoung and her team.

"Whoa, Ms. Son, as expected!" Woojin and the team start to go to her. She just throws a simple smile to them while turning off her computer, indicates that she's not interested in small talks. Then without saying anything, she passes her colleagues leaving the meeting room.

She walks straight towards the door. 

Another person comes from the door, making a small bow as she passes Chaeyoung.
