"Well Ms. Moon, can we start the presentation now?" He said suddenly and I was confused.
"Here?" I asked. Shouldn't we be in a meeting room, complete with presentation equipment and with a few other people?
"really. On here. Just show me the file you have prepared from your gadget, I will see it for myself and ask if I do not understand. Okay?" I'm still astonished. But he was the one who had a hand in making that cooperation decision? Yes, follow what you want. I tried to digest the situation in a short time and tried to understand. But how strange does it feel?
"alright. I just. It's okay." I decided to simplify everything. I took the iPad out of the bag, opened the file I had prepared and practiced over and over again - - with my lips withered, in vain - and handed it to her. He accepted and started focusing on the iPad screen. In such a serious situation, he even looked even more handsome. I forgot for a moment that I was just upset.
"I spoke to Gaia when I met in Seoul just yesterday. We have discussed things in detail. We agreed to start this cooperation project. Of course, because this idea was between the two of us. But Gaia Wear still has to do formal things like convey this straightforwardly in front of all the company administrators this morning. But yes, there are always things that need to be dealt with suddenly. They had to go to a branch office in New York and another branch in Paris to handle the case that was going on there. Since I was the closest one to reaching this office, they entrusted all of this to me. So is Miss Moon." He explained to answer my confusion while continuing to stare at the screen.
"So this is just for formality." He concluded his explanation. In accordance with my guess. As if he could read my mind.
"But even if it's just a formality, it's very important. They still need to hear that representatives from Gaia Wear came to the headquarters bringing this cooperation proposal. By the way, you made this pt file yourself?"
“True. I combined all the existing data from all the divisions related to this project.”
"Very good! It is understandable and interesting to read it from start to finish. I finally found a reasonable reason why you're here now. I was guessing that you were in this position for another reason..." His words were sarcastic. I can't help but think negatively. I squeezed my brain for a few seconds, looking for clues. Whatdoes thatmean? How should I respond to that word? I didn't want to respond the way I wanted, because it would ruin the atmosphere of the meeting. If I follow my heart, I want to say as I please and we will enter into another ridiculous discussion. The edges can hurt my side.
“Sorry Mr Lee, I don't understand, what do you mean by something else?” He looked me in the eye sharply, as if skinning all the contents of my head. I was under the impression that he was not the kind man I had thought of before. He holds a grudge. But I still hope that I'm wrong.
“Let's talk personal for a moment. Tell me honestly, do you know me?"
"I mean... I'm famous, let's admit it. When we were on the plane. I wonder, when you see me, do you know who I am? Especially if your goal is to come to this office.”
I should have humbled myself, pleaded guilty and apologized. I-i know. But somehow, there was a very strong urge to behave like a Jade. I started to hate that conversation. Shouldn't we just focus on the presentation? I grumbled in my heart. I can't hide that feeling, I'm upset. But instead, he looked even more annoyed at the change in my face water.
“Wah, look at that. Is my question a bit offensive? Though it was a simple question, was something wrong? What does that facial expression mean?” He's starting to blatantly.
“Sorry mr.Lee, does the question have anything to do with what I am doing now? I mean, can't we focus on the topic of this cooperation proposal alone? That's why I'm here now.” I tried to straighten out our goals before straying into things that didn't make sense. I've dealt with people as often as he has, I guess, we'll end up on two things and I'll have to choose. Doing dirty things but I succeeded. Or behave like myself, resisting and causing the failure of business cooperation worth millions maybe even billions of won.
“Yup, very related. As long as I feel uneasy, feel bad, we will never be able to proceed to any deal. Your job right now is to make me feel comfortable. I think you should know. I mean, this isn't the first time you've dealt with an important person, right?” Well, right. He was just one of those who got into the tough circle of people we often meet when dealing with business matters. I sighed softly. Jade, you better be a professional, you should bring home a signed propsal. Now is not the time to fight. I speak in my heart.
I closed my eyes, pulled and exhaled slowly. I changed the mood and transformed into the person she wanted to be, to be the entertainer that made her feel comfortable. I opened my eyes and smiled very sweetly. There was a surprised impression as he blinked his eyes. Or maybe he's stunned? I don't give a shit.
“Well Mr. Lee, because you need someone who will make you feel good, I'll obey him. If this is part of my job, why not? Do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I must have answered. Should I start by answering the question?” He's still dumbass. Not long after, he continued his sarcastic stunt by mocking me, clapping and laughing out loud.
“Woah, Miss Moon, you must be an actress. Have you ever tried casting for a drama or movie? You are truly talented..” I know, it's a syndicate.
"Never mr. Lee, that's not my goal. And I was too busy to survive, so never thought about doing things that had nothing to do with my job." He was bearded while stroking his chin as if he understood what I meant. But somehow, in my eyes, it was just the supporting attitude of the sarcasm scenario towards me. I wonder how long he will last to punish me.
