Sua found it hard to sleep, overthinking every decision every move everything she ever did right or wrong or anything she ever did to make her parents hate her this much, she liked to think that maybe it wasn't her fault that her parents didn't want her but there must have been something she did wrong right?

It was 8am before she knew it and she didn't even get so much as an hour of sleep, she knew they must have come to her for a reason, everything's just too coincidental, the night after she attended Taeyong's ball or whatever you want to call it, her parents come showing up saying they want their daughter back, she needed to know more and she was going to get the information she needed.

It was 9:45 when Sua was sitting at the top of her board meeting room table, she had been there for over an hour rethinking, the tap of her fingernails against the glass table was the only thing that she focused on, her laptop being untouched in front of her.

It was 9:55 when Renjun had knocked on the door of the room popping his head in telling his boss that Mr Lee had arrived, Sua nodded telling him to let him in her office, she wanted to talk there instead having changed her mind last minute.

Sua followed Renjun as they walked through her building not bothering to talk or even look at any of her employees, she was exhausted, finally reaching her office she told Renjun to go to his office wanting this meeting to be private, Renjun nodded understanding and walked to his officer where he would try to listen through their mic set up.

Sua twisted the door to her office seeing Taeyong once again, this time instead of any work out gear or shimmery club outfit he wore a classic black and white suit, opting to wear no tie a button from the top undone, his shoes were shiny and he looked like a proper businessman sitting in the chair his ankle propped up on his knee, Taeyong looked behind him to glance at Sua and their eyes met making her gulp down and bee line it straight to her desk, Taeyong watched her movement and how she looked like she belonged in that big office chair.

"I was told you wanted to speak business? What kind?" Taeyong said a cocky smirk gracing his lips, Sua's eyes trailed over her hand in her lap before looking over at the man raising an eyebrow.

"You were holding back something that night and I want to know what it was" Sua stared boredly trying to keep her hands from fidgeting, Taeyong smiled wider.

"I see you're very good at reading people Miss Ahn" Taeyong smiled and Sua huffed telling him to get to the point.

"Well it turns out that those members weren't the only people laundering money, actually they all were just for different things, some not as bad as the rest but it was still stealing" Taeyong shrugged and Sua raised an eyebrow.

"Everyone?" Sua asked.

"Every. Singe. One."

...

Taeyong and Sua continued to talk for what seemed like an hour before they both sealed a deal shaking hands, Taeyong pulled at his blazer jacket and squared out his shoulders smiling.

"It was a pleasure doing business with you Miss Ahn, I'll be sure to be in contact" Taeyong smiled at the girl who was too tired to answer but she smiled and nodded.

"I'll be waiting" Sua said moving from behind her desk to open her door when someone on the other side had beat her too it opening it while she just stared at the person almost scoffing in her head.

Mark jumped back slightly not expecting to see Sua standing right behind the door, Mark was about to speak when you stepped aside letting Taeyong exit your office, Mark took a step back staring at his older brother.
