Rubbing her temples gently, the ung CEO leaned her head against the headrest of her leather swivel chair. She shook her head lightly before opening the topmost drawer in her desk, hoping to find refuge from her migraine pills. She then took her compact mirror from the same drawer and held it in her left palm, bringing it towards her face. She frowned when she noticed the bags under her eyes that seemed to be growing each day. She glided her tongue across her pale and dry lips. Another frown. She’s so pale. The long hours in the office had been taking its toll on her health. She had grown thinner for the past four years ever since taking over her father’s company. Since then, maintaining her weight had been her biggest struggle.
Her friends had insisted she take a week or two away from work, but she couldn’t afford that. Not when the company is miserably falling. She’d do anything just to salvage their company. Or at least, what’s left of it. She sighed. The company has so many debts that they were not able to pay yet. Another sigh. Oh how playful time is; one moment they were South Korea’s biggest mirror manufacturer, the next they’re just one of those companies. But then it’s not always rainbows and butterflies, right? Truer words were never spoken. She snorted, mocking herself.
A buzzing phone snapped her out of her reverie. Her eyes widened in shock when she realized why the person is calling.
“Rosie, I’m coming!” She answered while hastily picking her things up and shoving them onto her handbag.
“Lisa! Where the hell are you?! We are all waiting for you! The wedding’s about to start!”
“I know, I know. I’m sorry. I’ll be there.” She said as she hurriedly left her office and went straight inside the elevator.
“Fifteen minutes!”
“What?! But the garden is thirty minutes away from here!” Lisa complained while she tapped her foot on the metal floor impatiently.
“Bring your lazy ass here in fifteen minutes! You don’t want to upset her, right?!”
“Fine! Fine!” With that, Lisa ended the call, inwardly cursing as the elevator seemed to be taking more time than it usually does.
Lisa stepped out of the elevator as soon as it reached the parking lot and ran towards her car, driving away with haste.

“You’re late!” Rosé hissed while handing Lisa a white dress and pulling the girl into a dressing room. She expertly put light makeup on Lisa's face while Jisoo braided Lisa's now shoulder-length brown locks.
“There! Perfect!” Rosé beamed at her masterpiece while Jisoo gave her two thumbs up.
“Now go and walk on that aisle, you kid!” Rosé said, pulling Lisa out of the room.
A grass covered ground then came in her line of sight and she had to keep up with Rosé as the girl dragged her further into the red carpet that was laid on the ground in a straight line up to the altar where a judge stood.
She smiled and bowed at the people that turned to watch her as she marched on the aisle. The mini-band on the side played a wedding song that Lisa could care less. She smiled as she locked gaze with the person standing at the end of the aisle. The girl looked so happy that her aura seemed to be contagious. A few more steps and she found herself face to face with the girl. They exchanged sweet smiles before briefly hugging.
“Thought you’d ditch my wedding.” Seulgi said, feigning annoyance at her friend.
“Never,” Lisa said and flashed her brightest smile at her best friend before continuing, “..I’ll never miss your wedding for the world, you dork!”
