My Lovely Bastard's
Problem
The meeting room, which is usually cold and tense, now feels cooler. Not because of the low room temperature, but because their silent CEO stared intently at the audience. A terrifying aura poured out from him, not a single pair of eyes dared to look at the CEO.
"Preparate the press conference, find a replacement for Madam Lien." the bass voice made all the meeting participants look at each other to show surprise, but no one dared to express their refutation.
"Head of fashion, look for the best designers. Give it to me tomorrow,"
After Zack came out of the meeting room, the entire occupants of the room let out a long sigh.
"What if Madam Lien is acting? You all know how bad the old sissy's temper is." They all looked at the man who had just made his complaint, he said,
"Why didn't you say that in front of the CEO?" the man grinned the horse, scratching his non-itchy nape.
"Oh yeah, Wendy. Didn't you take up fashion studies, why don't you help me find a replacement for Madam Lien?" Wendy rolled her eyes panted, though,
"I've only been there for two months, not much I know. Anyway it's your job, Ten, enjoy the CEO's spicy komrntar." Wendy had a sweet smile that made Ten want to curse,

"Zack you're really crazy," Zack raised his head lazily, memorized in the annoying voice that always teased him at all times.
"How could you bestow all the blame on your designer at the conference?"
"It was his fault anyway, I told him the truth." Rey clucked in surprise at Zack's reply.
"You're not afraid of him attacking you or anything? He's been here a long time, and I also know how bad he is."
"Do you want to come here,"
"You keep asking, of course I'm bored. Have you got Madam Lien's replacement?" Zack raised his head feeling interested in Rey's words,
"You got any advice?"
"Not advice, just references. You know Zie?" Zack looked at Rey paused,
"If you just want to talk about your lovers, you better go home." Rey screeched, she pulled up a chair and sat right in front of Zack's great table.
"Maybe later, just pray for it." Zack remained silent,
"He's a designer who's in vogue right now, and I think his work will fit into your company."
"Have you ever met him?"
"Well that's the problem, no one knows who Zie really is. He's keeping his identity a secret, look at this. This is one of the bags made by him, said Mommymu this limited edition. There's only 3,"
"Mommy?"
"You don't know? Damn child, I'll go first."
"You have his contacts?" Rey turned around, looking at Zack with a seductive look.
"If I had, I wouldn't give it to you." Hearing Rey's answer, I wanted to feel like Zack threw his desk in Rey's head. In order for Rey to forget her memory and not have to tease her at all times like a mosquito. Come and go as you please,
"Oh yes, I know one of your staff is using the Zie brand. Let's ask him, what he has is a limited edition bag."
"Staff?"
"That's a loh, bop-haired woman I once teased in front of you. Wen, Wen who I forgot. I'm home."
Zack presses the intercom button, calling his secretary.
"Steph, do you know of any staff named Wen?" Zack was silent for a moment, listening to his secret answer.
"Either, call them all into my room. Soon."
Zack pursed the base of his nose, he had to immediately get a replacement for Madam Lien. Moreover, in the next few weeks there will be many events, there is no way he will give clothes carelessly for his artists. It could damage his company's reputation,
Zack again straightened his body to hear the knocking of the door, before long four women entered the room.
"Who among you is using the Zie brand?" three of the four women raised their hands timidly, of course.
They were just ordinary staff, even this was only the first time they had entered this room of his boss. Of course a lot of bad things dived in their heads, did they make a fatal mistake to have to face the CEO who was notoriously scary.
"I heard that there are only 3 bags of Zie's, which one of you has." a shoulder-haired woman raised her hand in a quiver,
"In addition to him you can all go out." Like getting his breath, the three women immediately rushed out. As if they were still standing there for a second, they could die standing.
"Aren't you in a meeting?" the woman nodded, though,
"You must have heard too if I asked for a new designer," the woman nodded again.
"You're the new manager?"
"No, I'm just a contract worker replacing Mr. Adam until he can work again."
"You know that Zie designer?" quickly the woman shook her head, waving both her hands nervously.
"T-no, how could I possibly know a designer as famous as him." Zack slashed his eyes, though,
Of course Zack can't be lied to, there are already a lot of people that Zack has faced. Makes Zack seem to be able to read the minds of his interlocutors. Because that ability is very much needed in its field. Dealing with people who are mostly two-faced.
"You know, if you can give me his identity, I'll give you a permanent job here. If you know but pretend you don't know, don't expect you'll get a job wherever you apply for a job. Of course you know how influential I am,"
The woman's eyes quivered, as if ready to shed her tears. Zack knocked on the table, making the silent space even more gripping.
"I'm still waiting," Zack again voiced his annoyance, it's been almost ten minutes that the woman has been quiet uneasily.
"If,"
"I knew him, he was my friend back in college." exclaimed the woman shut her eyes, her hands clenched. He looks upset, though,
Zack raised the corner of his lips,
"I want you to persuade him to be here, if it works. You will be in your current position forever, replacing Mr. Adam. And I'll keep his identity, but if you can't get it. You know, I can figure out who he is. I'll spread out his identity,"
The woman looked at Zack in disbelief,
"You can hold my word. Now you can get out, I'm not messing with my offer."
The woman turned around, she stared ahead blankly. It was as if his life had just disappeared. After closing the door, the woman fell down on the floor. The tears that he had been enduring since, finally overflowed as well.
