"thank you, and you are...?"

"oh sorry. i'm mark lee from LEE Co."

mark held out his right hand and donghyuck shook it as he tried to remember the company name that was just mentioned.

"ah! the one from canada right? i mean, you're from canada right?"

"yes that's true but my company is based in korea,"

"so how does it feel to be a president at a young age?" donghyuck asked as he handed mark a drink he retrieved from the waiter.

"busy as hell but at the end of the day i can feel the satisfaction when i have achieved what i wanted," mark replied, smiling.

donghyuck nodded his head, agreeing at the latter's words.

"what's your age actually?" mark stepped closer to donghyuck, making the tanned male stumbled a bit from his position.

"u-uh 21, yours?" donghyuck cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure as he found the latter's aura intimidated him.

"we're in the same age," mark cocked his head to side as if he was studying donghyuck's features.

"i-is that so? great then," donghyuck chuckled awkwardly. trying to change the subject, he looked at the male behind mark. "is that your secretary?"

jeno jerked up his head at the word secretary and flashed a grin at donghyuck.

"yes, meet lee jeno," mark stepped back as jeno did a handshake with donghyuck.

"nice to meet you sir,"

"nice to meet you too jeno," donghyuck replied with a toothy smile.

mark's phone rang and he excused himself to take the call, leaving his secretary and donghyuck.

"congratulations on your selection sir,"

"ah! thank you jeno. i'm not ready though but what i can do when my mom rush me to," donghyuck giggled.

"i'm sure you can do it sir. mrs. lee has done a very good job in running the company and i'm sure you will do the same," jeno reassured the latter.

"you have some good words there. how's your boss? i bet it's nice having a boss that's around your age,"

jeno wanted to laugh hearing donghyuck saying that. nice huh?

"u-uh yeah, i think so," jeno replied unsure what to say. he wanted to tell the latter how horrible his boss was but he decided not. 

"i have to go first. it was nice talking to you jeno," donghyuck said.

"okay sir," jeno received a pat on his shoulder as donghyuck walk away to greet other people.

mark went outside of the hall to isolate himself from the noises to answer the call. he peered over the caller id and sighed before picking up. it was his best friend.

"hey lucas, what's up?"

"hey mark, i looked for you at your office but you were not there. where are you now?"

"i'm at the LDH Co. they're having a celebration of its new ceo,"

"wow! did they really send an invitation to you?"
