"Son, this is Han Ji Wan ssi. She's the daughter of the chairwoman of Han & Co. I want you to meet her this week." Chairman Hyun spoke. Hyun Bin's face remained impassive as he stood stiffly in front of his abeoji's table, his eyes trained on the photo between them.
The girl in the photo was dressed fancily in clothes from the most expensive brands in Korea, her face caked heavily with makeup. Black curls framed her face and Hyun Bin could tell she would be a handful just from the sheer arrogance in her eyes. Hyun Bin didn't like to judge a book by its covers, but in his opinion, everything about the girl was excessive. Now, why on earth does his abeoji want him to meet her?
"Abeoji, why do you need me to meet her? Do I need to negotiate some sort of contract with her?" Hyun Bin asked formally.
"Ah, yes. I need the two of you to get along." Chairman Hyun folded his arms together. "Han & Co is a reputable firm; one of the biggest in their industry. You know I've been looking to expand into that industry and as part of the contract, their chairwomen have requested an alliance between Han & Co and VAST Entertainment."
"An alliance?" Hyun Bin frowned at the new information, failing to keep his face impassive. Chairman Hyun finally met his son's eyes, noting down the storm in them. Taking a deep breath, Chairman Hyun braced himself mentally for the full storm ahead.
"A marriage alliance to be precise." Chairman Hyun finally responded after a good minute. Hyun Bin's reaction was immediate as his eyes widened and his jaws clenched automatically. Rage fuelled his heart over the fact that the old man was trying to meddle with his love affairs again.
"Abeonji, I refuse! You know I will do anything for VAST Entertainment, but this is going too far! I told you to never ever meddle with my relationships again!" Hyun Bin raged, having lost his cool instantly as he fixed his abeoji with a steely gaze.
"Is that any way to talk to your father? Control yourself immediately!" Chairman Hyun stood up as he slammed his hand on his table. His jaw was clenched as well, and the veins were protruding out of his forehead.
Scowling at his son, the father and son duo were both equally enraged as they glared at each other. Neither alpha male was willing to back down from the fight.
"You will meet her tomorrow. This is non-negotiable. Know her well son. She will be your wife soon." Chairman Hyun persisted in a dangerously low voice.
Like a switch, the raging fire in Hyun Bin's eyes was distinguished, only to be replaced by his usual coldness. Staring back at his abeoji with empty eyes and an equally empty heart, Hyun Bin resigned himself to his fate. He knew there was no winning his abeoji when his mind is set.
"If you insist. Now, if there isn't anything else, I have to get back to work." Hyun Bin straightened up before bowing down and leaving his abeoji's office. The minute Hyun Bin was out of his abeoji's office, he was greeted by the employees who all bowed down to him in greeting when they saw him.
