Chapter 23. More Argument

Arjoona walked out and into the CEO's main room. Entering Claire's room after asking permission, Arjoona walked over to Claire's desk and stood up. Claire glanced for a moment, then wrote back.

"sit!" Arjoona nodded slowly and sat in front of Claire. Arjoona presented a design on a map. Claire picked it up and opened it. For a while, Claire and Arjoona were professional, but it didn't seem like that for long.

"This feature doesn't have to be changed, too much is even more complicated," Claire protested at the smart TV feature to be produced.

"This only improves previous smart TV, which only added a few features."

"then, don't just add it!" Claire started raising her voice.

"So, what do you want?"

"make something new?" Claire replied without thinking

"Tell me the example?" asked Joona quickly. He began to get annoyed.

"Anything, you are the head of the design division. Think of another idea!" Claire began to get annoyed and did not help appease the debate.

"Like what, satellite TV? Do you think I can create everything, I'm not a genie!" replied Joona fiercely.

"uh, I didn't say you're a genie, but it's your responsibility to think about new products."

"I asked you now. Since when are there new products? All the things are modifications. There's no new sun, and you knew that," Claire grunted irritably.

"I don't care, make a new one from this smart TV that is different from our competitors," Arjoona sighed.

"This product is one of the best selling products in the market. If we change its features, it will only damage the image of the previous product."

"The production cost is too high. I can't take it," Arjoona massaged his forehead. Oh God, it seems like life has never been this hard before meeting this girl.

"what do you want?" asked Joona after a long silence.

"a new product."

"no, you want to ridicule me. What do you want?" Claire smiled sarcastically

"cut the marriage!" Arjoona immediately snorted with a sneer.

"So that's your intention?" asked Joona quickly

"don't think to control me, I'm your boss, you have to obey me!" The selfish Claire started raising her voice again at Joona.

"You know, I wanted to give up and draw this marriage before, but when I saw you are like this, I changed my mind." Arjoona immediately stood up to take his documents and was about to leave. Claire then stood up and was surprised.

"what do you mean, you don't want to cancel the wedding?"

"No," answered Arjoona quickly.

"I will never let you go. It's going to be awesome, see you at the wedding" Claire, who immediately panicked, seeing Arjoona, was about to leave after deciding not to cancel their wedding. She grabbed Arjoona's arm almost out of the room.

"please Joona, I'll pay whatever you want, please cancel it," Claire suddenly begged. Arjoona frowned but with a sneer. He then laughed.

"How much do you want to pay me?"

"Whatever you want, just call it," Claire seemed to have hope. Arjoona then nodded slowly.

"How much do you think I would get if I were your husband for two years, hmm?" Claire's face immediately turned irritated.

"You bastard, it turns out you are cheap!" Arjoona still snorted sarcastically.

"Claire, I won't back down no matter what, if I have to, I'll drag you to the civil office the day after tomorrow," growled Arjoona in a low voice. Claire, who was very angry, raised her hand to slap Joona, but Arjoona looked into her eyes, and she could only clench her fists in front of Joona's face.

"See you in three days ... my future wife," said Arjoona, then opened the door and immediately came out. Claire felt like she was about to cry. She stomped her feet a few times on the floor.

Arjoona, who took a few deep breaths, came out of the CEO's room and walked about to return to his office. But someone then stood in front of him, smiling sarcastically.

"I think we don't well introduce with Mr. Harristian," said Keith, who suddenly stood blocking Arjoona's way. Arjoona just stood and looked at Keith. Keith stuck out his hand.

"My name is Keith Barnett. I'm Claire Winthrop's stepfather." Arjoona paused for a moment before welcoming Keith's handshake.

"Arjoona Harristian." Keith smiled, but his smile seemed strange to Joona. He also drew closer to Arjoona.

"I know you will marry Claire and all of that is part of Gerald Winthrop's plan," he said while seeing Joona's look.

"I don't know what Gerald has told you about me, maybe bad things, but you must know one thing, Mr. Harristian, Claire is the daughter of my wife, it means she is also my daughter, so I want her to be happy," Arjoona still looked at Keith without afraid.

"If Gerald loves Claire, then he will let his granddaughter marry a man she loves instead of a man ... like you," continued Keith while looking at Arjoona with a mocking look. Arjoona still let Keith talk.

"So if you still have pride, you better leave back. If you need something, you can tell me I'll give it to you," Arjoona nodded slowly and smiled.

"Mr. Barnett, we are both strangers in the Winthrop family, wouldn't it be better if we knew our respective positions well?" Arjoona replied, hitting Keith with her words.

"Let the Winthrop family decide the marriage, not someone who doesn't even have Winthrop's last name as me or ... you," Joona added in the same scoff, looking sarcastically.

Keith's face immediately turned bitter but then smiled wickedly again. He nodded slowly.

"You have guts. You don't know who I am," Arjoona grunts and smiles sweetly, showing her dimples.

"Of course I know, you mentioned it earlier, you are a stepfather," Arjoona silenced Keith.

"Excuse me. I have to go back to the factory, nice to meet you, Mr. Barnett," said Arjoona immediately left and left Keith, who clenched his jaw without even turning to look at Arjoona. The smile Arjoona gave Keith immediately disappeared, replaced with a fist and an angry face.

"Nothing can stop me from getting married, except Gerald Winthrop and God," muttered Arjoona to himself with a hardened jaw.
