16 I cant believe you just said that with a straight face... (1/2)

Thirty minutes later.

The business meeting finally came to an end, with Chung Ji-Eun citing her terms for financing The Little City and with Madam Song agreeing to all of them. The Madam's nephew did little to nothing as he sat there and offered no contradictions to what she had laid out.

He was impressed with her business acumen and she seemed very professional. Not overbearing. In fact, he seriously thought he could do so much better if she had someone like her to help him out at Song Corp.

Song Hyun-Shik looked at her intently as if he was trying to decide on something. The way she presented her ideas to his Aunt reminded him of the way she asked him to marry her. Simple terms, simple gains... It seemed she handled her marriage proposal yesterday very much like the way she presents deals and offers to prospective clients and business partners.

Maybe... Just maybe...

Chung Ji-Eun had made it very easy for The Little City. Maybe in a few months, they'll be able to bounce back from the slump they had been in. Maybe she could do the same for Song Corp. too?

Hyun-Shik was still deliberating on his own as they were saying their farewells.

”I look forward to this partnership, Madam Song. This industry is very foreign to me, but with you here, I'm sure everything will be alright,” Ji-Eun shook the owner-actress' hand warmly. ”Secretary Oh will get in touch with you tomorrow as I will be sending you the documentation that you need by 9:00 am.”

Jaehyun immediately jotted down the schedule and proceeded to send messages to their team members. Produce the document, get it ready for the Boss' signature, and get the transfer ready.

All of these, done in a matter of minutes.

”You don't know how much we appreciate this, Ms. Chung,” the Madam gushed. ”With your support, The Little City will be at the top of the beauty industry again.”

”I have no doubts,” Ji-Eun let out a polite laugh. ”I have no doubts at all.”

At that, they said their polite farewells and the two proceeded to walk out of the conference room. The deal was closed and they were leaving with a light mood.

It's a good day, Ji-Eun thought. She looked at Jaehyun who was busy tapping away on his tablet.

”Do I still have something in the afternoon?”

”Not until 5:00 pm. That's your Outer Islands conference call,” her secretary answered without looking at her. ”The documents are being prepared as we speak. They should be ready for your review when you get back to your office.”

”Hmmm...” she sighed. She glanced at her companion and found him still fiddling with the tablet.
