Chapter 16 Just A Kid (1/2)
The following day Mimi had told Jean to schedule an appointment with Lun Corporation notifying them that they would set Lee Odo with their CEO to discuss business.
Currently sitting in the lobby of the main building ANDRAS, Jean and Alec sit anxiously in their chairs as they wait for the teenage girl's arrival.
She had previously texted the two of them saying she'd be late and to hold the meeting until her arrival.
Tapping his foot anxiously on the floor, Alec for the first time felt nervous.
The owner of Lun Corporation and a few other investors arrived thirty minutes earlier than the scheduled time and were now waiting for Andras's arrival.
He stares at his watch with a sigh.
The meeting would happen in the next five minutes.
If she were to make him wait out any longer, they would inevitably lose their contract, running Mimi's business into an epic downfall.
”Where is she? Does she realize how important this is?” Alec said with concern.
”I'm sure she's having everything planned out,” Jean reassuringly says.
Although, in truth, Jean herself didn't acquire utmost confidence in how things would turn out.
The only thing she could do was trust in Mimi, her boss who helped her shine to be the best assistant and help support her son.
By all means, that was exactly what she was going to do. Trust in her boss.
”Well, if she doesn't arrive in the next minute, we're screwed,” Alec sighs.
”My, my! Big brother, have a little faith in me once in a while!”
Just as he was beginning to clear out all hope, the sound of Mimi's familiar voice rang out.
Both stood from their seats to turn around to see Mimi and ask where she was but the words got caught in their throats when they examine the young girl's appearance.
Why...why did she look like that?!
Dressed in a black Italian tailored suit and a pair of Bostonian shoes, the young teenager in front of them had their smooth hair combed back neatly appearing almost too handsomely as it was revealing their jade-like clear skin.
With two green eyes piercing right through them with a shade of purple hidden beneath them, they blinked innocently at the two adults in from of them.
”Well, what do you think?” Mimi smiles attractively at the two. ”Don't I just look dropped dead sexy that you could faint?”
If it weren't for her feminine voice, Alec and Jean wouldn't be able to tell that the person right in front of them was Mimi but a young, teenage boy.
Her face was completely unfamiliar!
With a bit of makeup and shadowing, Mimi's features changed drastically. Her once soft and smooth jaw now appeared sharper and more masculine.
There was a slight sexy youthful shine in her eyes that made them wonder if this undoubtedly was the young girl they knew.
”Y-you...how?!” Alec stuttered.
”Oh, don't worry big brother! It's only just makeup, see?” Mimi said wiping off a bit of makeup on her face. ”I'm also wearing contacts since my eyes are so noticeable!”
”Ms. Mimi, are you going to the meeting dressed like that?” Jean asks with a more composed appearance than Alec.
Mimi smiles while nodding her head. Alec squints his eyes, still examining Mimi's altered male look.
He couldn't help but think she looked a little more attractive than him, and he was an actual man!
”But you still look too young? Why change your appearance if you're still going in as your general age?” Alec raises a questioning eyebrow.
Sighing, Mimi shakes her head at her brothers clouded brain. He clearly didn't grasp how society worked.
”Dear brother. Have you been so dense as to have forgotten how the world is?” Mimi said. ”This is a world where it's ruled by heartless rich men, age to them does not matter if you're a young successful businessman. However, a young woman entering the business she'd be shunned.”
As Mimi explains the harsh reality of society, Alec's eyes widen before pitifully looking at Mimi.
Seeing her brother's mournful eyes directed towards her, Mimi couldn't help but unintentionally feel annoyed.
The corner of her mouth twitches before she flicks her foolish brother's forehead.
”Quit pitying me over something that can be fixed easily,” Mimi frowns. ”Just because that's how society is today, doesn't mean it won't change later. After all, that's what beautiful women like me are here for!”
Jean gazed gently towards the young girl before her. She truly was satisfied to have Mimi as a boss.
She was unique and consistently effective towards everything, despite her sarcastic and teasing personality.
However, after hearing her words with the girl's male disguise and addressing herself a ”beautiful woman” Jean couldn't help but find the moment out of place.
”Now come on, we don't want to keep Mr. Odo waiting any longer,” Mimi gestures her head towards Jean to follow her. ”Wait for me Mr. Hirogori until I finish!”
With that, the two figures walk away leaving Alec alone in the lobby with workers passing by who from the beginning noticed the young golden-haired man and the handsome young brunette next to him.
The two were simply too gorgeous! Like a heavenly painting that came to life before their very eyes!
From the news and media, they had noticed Alec as one of the Hirogori sons. However, the young boy next to him with a masculine yet youthful appearance was unrecognizable.
Employees seeing him walk away with Jean, who they knew as their bosses personal assistant, began to question his identity.
Who was this mysterious young man?
....
Tapping his foot impatiently on the hardwood floor, Lee Odo's patience begins to run thin. He along with many elite managers wait for the man named Andras to arrive.
He truly had the guts to make them wait an hour for him?!
Despite being the ones to invest so much money in his company he had acted as if he was of higher authority by appearing late!
The rest of the men in the room all had a bitter displeased facial expression as they had patiently waited for the man to show up, but he never came.
Just when Lee Odo planned to leave, the large office doors open.
All men craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the face and owner of the successful company that rose sales so quickly.
