The journey should take approximately 16 minutes since the distance between the hotel and the venue of the meetingis 9.7 kilometers but due to heavy traffic, they were only able to reach 2.4 kilometers thus they will have to wait for another 48 minutes to reach the venue.
As soon as they arrived at the meeting room there were already a few of the participants who arrived ahead of them and it seems that the meeting is presided by the United Nations Organization because of the different nationalities present.
"Dila mshvidobisa bat'ono beridze," Do Yun greeted a Georgian businessman.
"Dila mshvidobisa mist'er k'im," the Georgian businessman greeted back.
"Aloha kakahiaka e Mr. Palakiko," Do Yun greeted a Hawaiian businessman.
"Aloha kakahiaka e Mr. Kim," the Hawaiian businessman greeted back.
"Selamat pagi Tuan Kim," greeted an Indonesian businessman.
"Selamat pagi Pak Tantama," greeted Do Yun back.
"Ohayō Kimu-san," greeted a Japanese businessman.
"Ohayō Satō-san," greeted Do Yun back.
"Annyeonghaseyo Mr. Kim," greeted a Korean businessman.
"Annyeonghaseyo Mr. Park," greeted Do Yun back.
"So there's another Korean CEO around here," she told herself.
After a while the conference room was already filled with participants thus Amor and Do Yun settled to their seats and waited for the meeting to start, "You can leave now so that you can come back before the meeting ends."
"Uhm..... yes Mr. Kim."
While waiting for the elevator to arrive on her floor so that she can go down to the lobby, Mr. He came out of the elevator.
"Ah..... good..... good morning Mr. He," greeted Amor.
"Good morning, miss?"
"Oh..... Amor..... my name is Amor Mr. He."
"Good morning Amor, are you not joining the meeting?"
"Uhm..... Mr. Kim has an errand for me but I'll be back right away hopefully before the meeting ends."
"I'll see you later then."
"Ah..... yes Mr. He, I'll take my leave now," Amor waited for Mr. He to enter the meeting room before she entered the elevator.
As soon as she arrived at the mall Amor went inside the department store, "Good morning ma'am," greeted the attendants.
"Swimwear for me, please."
"Ma'am this way please."
She was shown the relaxed and comfortable type of swimwear to try on:
1. GRACE & GLIDE BRALET SEPARATE BIKINI TOP or UNDERWIRED BRA and REGULAR PANTY with SHORT SLEEVE UPF 50 RASH VEST ANTHRACITE PARADE
2. ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT ANTHRACITE MALO
3. FITNESS BRA SEPARATE BIKINI TOP and FULL SPERATE BIKINI PANTY TRUE BLACK
4. LONG SLEEVE UPF 50 ONE PIECE RASHGUARD TRUE BLACK
5. SPORTS BRA BIKINI TOP and RETRO SURF BOARDSHORT Anthracite
"Which one to choose?" she thought. "I'll choose the ONE PIECE ANTHRACITE MALO please."
Amor then headed out to the exit door to catch up on the meeting.
As soon as she arrived at the conference room lunch has already been served and the Luxembourgish Senior executive is discussing the five leadership approaches an effective CEO should adopt:
1. The Strategy Approach
CEOs who use this approach believe that their most important job is to create, test, and design the implementation of long-term strategy, extending in some cases into the distant future.
2. The Human-Assets Approach
In marked contrast to CEOs in the above group, human-assets CEOs strongly believe that strategy formulation belongs close to the markets, in the business units.
3. The Expertise Approach
Executives who lead by using this approach believe that the CEO's most important responsibility is selecting and disseminating within the corporation an area of expertise that will be a source of competitive advantage.
4. The Box Approach
CEOs in this category believe that they can add the most value in their organizations by creating, communicating, and monitoring an explicit set of controls—financial, cultural, or both—that ensure uniform, predictable behaviors, and experiences for customers and employees.
5. The Change Approach
Executives in this category are guided by the belief that the CEO's most critical role is to create an environment of continual reinvention, even if such an environment produces anxiety and confusion, leads to some strategic mistakes, and temporarily hurts financial performance.
"After our lunch, we will describe the five leadership approaches in more detail and explore which business situations call for which approaches."
When the meeting ended, Do Yun looked exhausted and Amor felt the urge to do something to make him feel better thus she approached him.
"I need the documentation tomorrow morning."
"Oh..... yes Mr. Kim," she secretly gave him a sly leer. "How can he think of work now when he's already exhausted?" she thought.
"Bagssi (Mr. Park)," Do Yun called Mr. Park's attention thus Amor excused herself.
"Uhm..... Mr. Kim, I'll check with my notes now, please excuse me."
Pretending to work on her documentation she can't help but glance in their direction "They seem to personally know each other," she told herself.
"Excuse me miss?"
"Huh?" Amor wasn't expecting someone to call her miss.
"Ms. Amor?"
Amor then recognized Mr. He, "Ah..... yes Mr. He, how..... how can I help you?" she politely asked.
"Nothing, I just want to know if you will attend the gala dinner later."
"Oh..... maybe, Mr. Kim has not told me yet that I can't come."
"Whether or not he will allow you to attend please do, either as his guest or my guest."
"Uhm..... I don't understand Mr. He."
"I sent you a gift to the hotel where you're staying now, I will be honored if you will accept it."
"Ah..... I'm..... I'm more..... I'm more honored Mr. He thank you."
"I am also honored for giving good treatment to my employee Mr. He."
Upon hearing Do Yun's voice, Amor suddenly stood up "Oh..... Mr. Kim."
"Dāngrán, jīn xiānshēng, wǒ zhǐshì xiǎng ràng tā yǒu bīnzhìrúguī de gǎnjué (Of course Mr. Kim, I am just trying to make her feel at home away from home)."
"Wǒ xiāngxìn, zuòwéi lǎobǎn, wǒ yǒu yìwù ràng tā yǒu bīnzhìrúguī de gǎnjué, dàn gǎnxiè nín de guānxīn bìng wèi wǒmen biànhù, hè xiānshēng (I believe it is my obligation as her employer to make her feel at home away from home but thank you for your concern and excuse us, Mr. He)," and Do Yun took Amor's hand and led her out of the meeting room before Mr. He can say something else.
Do Yun then headed to the chauffeur-driven luxury Limousine thus Amor hurriedly followed.
Do Yun was silent all the way back to the hotel but he still accompanied Amor to her room, "We have at least an hour before we depart to the venue of the gala dinner, I'll call you when I'm ready."
"Uhm..... yes, Mr. Kim."
As soon as she went inside her room she noticed a big box placed on the table of her mini office with a card written: "I will be honored, Mr. He".
"What could this be?" she thought.
When she opened the big box she was surprised to see a mini wardrobe, a Black Midi Bodycon Dress that features a square neckline, perfect midi length, and a subtle sheen, which makes it a perfect choice for her who want to achieve an attractive and sophisticated look for the event later. A black Korean Wrinkled Silk Dinner Party/Clutch/Dress/Bride Diamond Handbag and Pearl Drop silver luxury dangle earrings. A pair of bedazzled slim strapped heels with ankle strap evening shoes and she managed to style her hair with a triple braid. She also wore the silver heart necklace and Sterling Silver Crystal Diamond Bracelet Roman Style that Do Yun gave her.
Her tablet rang and the caller ID says Mr. Kim, "Hello Mr. Kim," she answered the call right away.
"Hello Amor, where are you now?"
"Ah..... I'll be out in a couple of minutes Mr. Kim," and Do Yun ended the call.
A few minutes later she looked for Do Yun at the grand lobby and there he was at the lounge area wearing a Prescot Herringbone Warm Gray Suit waiting for her looking instantly likable, "Have you called the hotel's concierge transportation?"
"Oh..... yes Mr. Kim," she simpered in embarrassment.
Do Yun then headed to the chauffeur-driven luxury Limousine thus Amor hurriedly followed.
The journey should take approximately 7 minutes since the distance between the hotel and the convention center is 3.1 kilometers but due to heavy traffic, they were only able to reach .6 meters thus they will have to wait for another 28 minutes to reach the venue.
"You chose a good pair of earrings for the necklace and bracelet," said Do Yun.
"Uhm.....," Amor doesn't know what to say knowing that almost everything she's wearing now is from Mr. He.
Do Yun gently took her right hand and held her until they arrive at the venue.
All their life there's been heartache, can they afford another pain?
