Hate Your Guts

Hate Her Deal

Kim Jisoo smoothened her collar as she stared at her reflection. She was ready to go and start another day at work. At least that's all she assured herself until she remembered JND Corporation is supposed to seal a deal in an hour with none other than Jentle Home, a famous and highly acclaimed designer brand that they everyone wants to sign with. Jisoo's company seemed like a far off choice from all the group of companies, of marketing means the brand could choose from yet here they are.

Here they are and Jisoo is thinking how to impress the other CEO who's even younger than her.

She was a little bit worried when as young as they are, no older than mid 20's, Jennie Kim is probably far more succesful than them. Maybe not that far yet there was still a need to impress. She reassesed her form once more and once she realized she couldn't be anymore decent and appropriate with a tad of intimidating aura for the meeting, Jisoo set off in her Kia on her way to Jentle Home's headquarters.

Good thing there wasn't any traffic nor accident that made her tense more than she usually does when meeting a VIP.

***

It was getting draggy.

That would be a one sentence description Jennie would give as the meeting carried on. It wasn't like she needed any more details to ensure the partnership or collaboration whatever it is that seemed inferior to her massive headache. Her hangover was killing her but dare say she managed to pull it off alright with her own favorite and created sunglasses named after her Kuma.

She knew it would mostly give her a bad rep if she took the shades off now but Jennie was bored. Bored as hell. If it was anyone else and not this particular company, she would've cut off the presentation, sign the papers and be done with it. Yet there was that pretty- no- there was that beautiful and all alluring Aphrodite opposite her.

Jennie Kim isn't a sucker for powerful women that get her running down words just to impress them but Kim Jisoo is something else. Luckily, she was careful enough to brush it off with her cool and somewhat icy demeanor the latter easily accepted like it was what she summed her up as. Luckily too, her shades were dark enough so she could observe the other CEO from head to toe.

"Do I still have your attention?"

Jennie doesn't understand why the CEO was the one presenting in the first place. Nor did she understand how Kim Jisoo noticed she wasn't listening at all. "Are you accusing me of being bored and inattentive from your presentation, Miss..."

The black haired woman smiled but she could see her clenching her jaw briefly. "Kim Jisoo."

"Ah. Miss Kim Jisoo." She flashed a smile before her brain decides to go along with a joke. "Don't take it personal. I'm bad with names. I don't even know the full name of my secretary."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?"

"Pardon? I didn't catch that." Jennie leaned forward when the latter muttered.

"Oh so you're now listening when it's small talks?"

The silence in the room became too loud. Jennie pull down her shades a bit, her eyes finally meeting Kim Jisoo's intense gaze or maybe even glare without any barriers. She doesn't know why but it tugged the corner of her lips up.

"Well, that small talk seems more interesting than your lengthy presentation. No offense."

Jennie had no plans of offending the other woman but teasing her with her presentation might've done just that. CEO Kim Jisoo stood up taller and even with that simple but also quite expensive piece from Christian Dior, she could see the S-line perfectly. The other must've realized she was running her eyes all over her and not wanting to be labeled as a creep, Jennie leaned back on her chair as well.
