"Good day Mrs Gu, I am here to see Mr Shin, I have an appointment with him, the name is Park Yo-Han."
"Hold on a second ". She punched some digits into the intercom and put a call through to Mr Shin's office.
"Secretary Moon, a Mr Park is here to see Boss Shin, is he available?....okay I will send him over"
After confirming with the secretary, she gave directions.
" Third floor, second office by the lef.... right, You will find Mr Shin there."
"Thank you" Yo-Han said and left for Mr Shin's office.
After seeing Yo-Han again after 10 years she remembered him with just one look, Her lovely god nephew had grown up well.
Park Mit-Eum's office used to be on the left and Mr Shin's on the right, she was about to direct him to his father's office but she instantly remembered that he wasn't here for his father but Mr Shin. She mocked herself for her mistake.
Back then she had developed a very keen relationship with him, that she took him as her son but he used to call her 'Auntie' and she was satisfied with that. Seeing him now gave her a complex mix of feelings of happiness, sympathy, joy, sadness and sorriness for her little god-nephew.
She noticed the other receptionists drooling over Yo-han and she turned to the over-protective aunt instantly.
"Don't even think about it, don't you dare try anything, he is a kid, don't you see he is in school uniform?" she said arrogantly.
"Sister Gu, what if he is in school uniform?, it's nothing bad, I am only 23 myself, five years is a small gap" the other receptionists replied still looking at Yo-han's retreating figure.
" I am sure Young Master Hyeon will give you a bonus for not working but drooling and having naughty thoughts instead. I would like to see your expression when he walks in on you now." She said sarcastically.
"You are too strict, sister Gu" . The other receptionist complained before concentrating on her work.

" You must be Mr Park, Boss is waiting for you." Secretary Moon said with a professional smile on his face. He too could remember Yo-Han from 10 years ago. Even though his relationship with him wasn't as close like that of Mrs Gu,bhe still received him warmly whenever he came by mainly because Park Mit-Eum had a good relationship with everyone. They all reciprocated Mit-Eum's goodness and thus they considered Yo-Han a part of Kings law firm.
Right now his aloof and cold nature was no where to be found. Yo-han smiled at him the same he had been smiling since he entered Kings law firm. He only smiles when he feels like home or when he is with people he considers as family and those who hold a special place in his heart. Since the time he had been visiting Kings law firm, they all have been treating him well and that made him take them has his family. The only family he has.
Yo-han knocked on Mr Shin's door and a manly voice from within welcomed him in.
"Come in" The voice of a middle aged man in his mid forties answered.
Yo-han stepped into the somehow archaic office. On the shelf are a lot of awards, and books on another, most of the other things are antiques, a typical lawyer's office but an ancient look. Mr Shin had purposely not refurnished the office because he liked antiquity.
Mr Shin stood up from his swivel chair and welcomed Yo-Han.
"Park Yo-han, it's been a decade, what are you doing in country S?" He asked because he is delighted to seen his friend slash juniors son once again.
"Good day Uncle Shin, it's been long too, after that time ten years ago you didn't come back to check on my mother and I, we just moved to country S few months ago." Yo-han bowed respectfully, greeted and accused Mr Shin at the same time.
"Ai.. Yo-Han, you know I am a busy man, eh, it's not like I ignored you, I do send birthday and festival gifts to show that I still remember you, I just haven't travelled overseas in a very long time, I hardly go on vacations, it's all work, work, work and work, Ehn, kiddo don't be angry at me, how is your mother?"
" My mother is well, she got a job at Dong Il city bank so we moved into the country."
" That's good, that's good, now we can see more often, please don't hesitate to give your old man a visit often, I have missed you over the years, why don't you come to my house this weekend to catch up with one another, my son and daughter will also be glad to see you again, hmn, they have both grown up just like you." Mr Shin said excitedly.
The two chatted for a while and infact Yo-Han completely forgot his reason for coming. From there conversation one could tell that the relationship they share is almost a father to son relationship and anyone who walk in on Yo-Han right now will never believe that he has a cold and reserved side. He was smiling and reflecting warmth rather than the usual coldness.
Finally Mr Shin asked for his purpose of visit.
"Little Park, why exactly did you come?, you won't come to the office if it's not something that has to do with work."
" You are right Uncle Shin, I want your advice concerning a business of mine. Recently I have been able to make a few millions and I decided to pour it all into Business, and I need legal advice before starting and all the way through. I wanted to buy a medium scale company and from the options I have, I have to do something before the end of the week." Yo-Han took out a document from his bag and handled it to Mr Shin.
The documents consist of Yo-Han's budget, estimates, list of companies to choice from with detailed scale of preference and their financial records.
"Uncle Shin, if I will take any step, I would need a lawyer to help me with all of these things, you are the only one I know, I can't think of any other person" Yo-han added.
After thorough scrutiny, Mr Shin closed the documents and dropped it on the table. "Hmmn, you have done a lot of work, a lot of work but I have a lot of clients already, I will hand you over to my best student, don't worry she is as good as your father, she is the best junior at the firm presently." Mr Shin said and waited for Yo-han's response before dialing his secretary's intercom. Yo-han nodded to show his approval, then Mr Shin proceeded.
"Secretary Moon, I need Chang Cho-Rong here ASAP."
"I am on it, Boss Shin" He replied hastily and contacted Chang Cho-Rong.
" Miss Chang, Boss Shin needs you in his office now" Secretary Moon requested and continued his work.
