Chapter 12
Her Father
6:20PM, Gangnam
Sulli held the document Mr. Park asked her to bring up to the CEO’s son. Why is the CEO’s son back? From what Sulli heard, the CEO’s only son was sent to the US five years ago to handle the US operations. Was he assigned back to Korea by his Dad?
Sulli took a deep breath as she approached the secretary.
“Hi, I’m here to give a document to Mr. Siwon Choi. My manager said Mr. Choi is already waiting for the document.” Said Sulli.
“Are you Miss Sulli Choi?” asked the secretary.
Sulli was a bit startled.
“Yes.”
The secretary smiled.
“He’s been waiting for you. Please go inside.” Said the secretary.
Sulli nodded. And then she pushed the door open.
She walked inside the huge office. It is the CEO office. She saw a man standing by the window.
“Hi, Good afternoon, Sir. Are you Mr. Siwon Choi?” asked Sulli.
The man turned to look at her. He looked at her from head to toe. Sulli suddenly felt like cold water went down her spine. She stood straight like a soldier.
“You must be Sulli, Sulli Choi.” Said Siwon.
Sulli nodded.
“Mr. Park asked me to bring this document to you.”
Sulli went towards Siwon and handed the document to him. Siwon took the document and placed it on the table.
“Good Day Sir.” Said Sulli. Sulli turned to leave.
“Wait Miss Choi.” Said Siwon. “I specifically asked Mr. Park for your time today. So sit down.”
Sulli blinked a few times. Mr. Siwon Choi wants to talk to her? But why? Did she make a mistake?
Sulli felt nervous all of a sudden.
“C’mon, sit down. I don’t bite.” Said Siwon.
Sulli took a deep breath and sat down.
“Is…there a problem, Sir?” asked Sulli.
“Hmm…it depends on how you’ll treat the situation.” Said Siwon.
“Situation?” asked Sulli.
Siwon sat across Sulli.
“Sulli-ssi.” Said Siwon. “When was the last time you met your Father?”
The faint smile on Sulli’s lips faded.
“Why…are you interested to know…Sir?” asked Sulli. “Because for me… Matters relating to my father is really personal.”
Siwon nodded.
“I know. This conversation is non work Sulli-ssi. This is a personal conversation.” Said Siwon.
Sulli stood up.
“Sir, it is still work hour now. I don’t think it’s right to talk about personal stuff right now.” said Sulli.
Siwon pointed at a clock. It was 6:30PM.
“The work hour ended an hour and a half ago.” Said Siwon.
Sulli hesitantly went back to sit in front of Siwon.
“Why are you interested in.... my father?” asked Sulli. “When I don’t even know you personally?”
