On the next day, the whole department team was called for a meeting including Suho. It seemed like chaos just happened. Director Park didn't look happy
Chonghwan-This is a trash!
He screamed loudly
Chonghwan-How could you use this picture as magazine cover?!
Chonghwan slammed the photo on the big table

Chonghwan-It's dull, empty, no interaction between Suho and Yeonsoo! This is no art! This is the worst magazine cover I have ever seen!
Everyone looked down to their feet. Suho glanced secretly at Chorong who was sitting on the Vice President chair. She looked calm and collected. Maybe she was used to her dad being like this
Chonghwan-Sejun, read out the review Sejun-Yy.. Yes. Uhm...
'What is wrong with BBB? This cover is absurd'
'Did they do the photoshoot separately?'
'This is ridiculous. It seems like they shooted at different time and merge the pictures together'
'They are playing safe because the guy is a rookie. Zero controversy lol'
Chonghwan-Ridiculous. RIDICULOUS! They called it ridiculous. Jihyo what about the number of sales for the magazine? Jihyo-Only 120 copies were sold so far, sir Chonghwan-Oh my God
Chorong-It was my fault, Director Park
Everyone looked up to Chorong who just spoke up
Chonghwan-Wh.. What? Chorong-I was the one who picked the picture for the cover Suho-No! I did Chorong-No, it was me. Suho wanted to use the other picture but I insisted and sent out this one instead Chonghwan-*frowned* Why Chorong?
Chorong looked straight to Suho. She wanted to say it was because she did not like Suho being close to Yeonsoo. But she would not dare to say it. So she picked up another excuse
Chorong-Yeonsoo is my enemy
Everyone's jaw dropped upon listening to Chorong's childish response
Chonghwan-Don't embarrass me here, Park Chorong Chorong-I don't like her so I wanted to make this photoshoot a failure for her. That's why I did it Chonghwan-Little did you know that Suho was one of the model? Chorong-*gulped* I do Chonghwan-You are involving the whole company! Chorong-I'm sorry, it was my fault Chonghwan-You disappoint me, Chorong
Chonghwan collected his things and walked out of the board room. Chorong was so embarrassed when all staff were looking at her. It was a stupid excuse but she had no other idea to say
Chorong-You may dismiss
Everyone quickly left the meeting room but not Suho. He was staring sharply at Chorong who did not mind him at all
Suho-What with the fool excuse? Chorong-What do you mean? I said what I said Suho-You should just point at me Chorong-You were with me yesterday and you really picked the right picture. I was the one who did not agree with you and insisted to send the other photo to them
Chorong picked herself up and walked out of the meeting room. Suho tailed her into her office
Suho-But you did it because you were mad at me right? You wanted me to fail in the first place. Because I said something I shouldn't to your fiance Chorong-Suho, enough. Get out of here, people will get the wrong thing about us Suho-No, this is about work Chorong-Don't use that word to get closer to me Suho-*frowned* What? Chorong-Nothing. Get out
Minhyuk-Honey! Oh...
Minhyuk came to the room with a bouquet of flower. But the nice smell of the red roses faded away as soon as he saw Suho in Chorong's room
Chorong already looked down to her feet. She would be scolded again later. Damn!
Suho-I'm sorry. It is about work but I will go now
Suho left the room immediately. Chorong shook her head. She really had no idea how to react but she still smiled forcefully for Minhyuk
Chorong-Is that for me?
Minhyuk looked at Chorong fiercely and did not reply to her
***
It was past 9 and Suho was waiting for Chorong outside his unit. When the elevator door opened he stood up and greeted Chorong
She did not seem comfortable. She pulled her sleeve down to hide the purplish bruise around her wrist
Suho-Chorong, I want to talk to you Chorong-Not now, Suho. I am so tired today
Suho-It will be very brief and quick. Alright, I am sorry for what I said to Minhyuk. I don't know he would get jealous Chorong-Suho, this is not about jealousy. It is about respecting other people who is officially someone. You really know Minhyuk and I are engaged and what you said would cause trouble to our relationship Suho-I know. That is why I am sorry Chorong-But your sorry cannot solve anything. I am the one who have to encounter Minhyuk, calm him down and assure him we are just friends. He doubts me now and that is very unfair!
Chorong was so mad that she almost cry
Suho-Okay, now tell me what can I do fix this thing. You need me to talk to Minhyuk and explain? Chorong-Just stay away from me, Suho. Minhyuk saw us again just now and he doesn't want me to see you again Suho-What? He has no right. We work together Chorong-Actually, he has
Suho sighed in disbelief
Chorong-Suho, I know we work together and we are barely friends but... Far from respecting me as your boss, I would appreciate it more if you respect me as someone's fiancee. We have invisible boundaries so I need you to aware of them. And please, think before you speak. Stop saying things that can cause misunderstanding amongst us especially Minhyuk
Done with her long speech, Chorong turned around. But Suho caught Chorong by the wrist and pressed on her wrist
Chorong-Ouch! Suho-Why?
Suho pulled the sleeve down, exposing her bruised wrist
Suho-What happened?
Chorong snatched her hand away from Suho
Chorong-Mind your own business
Chorong quickly entered her passcode and went into her house. Suho was still left outside dumbfounded
He was sure it was bruise. Who the hell hurt Chorong? Was it... Minhyuk?
