Chapter 47

That same night, when Aiden informed his company about the matters involving Addison, CEO Park Min Seok, Felix's father was informed that his son was photographed together with Addison at the airport. No one noticed as his face was never revealed to the public but his father wanted to know what exactly is happening so he called his son over.

*knock knock*

"Come in" Felix opened the door and walked over to his father. "You saw it?" Felix asked unbothered.

"Seems like something is going on then, okay spill it" his father commanded. "I'm pursuing her" he answered nonchalantly.

"Hmmm,

Okay, I'm not against it. But that doesn't mean her parents won't meddle. Our company doesn't really compare to theirs. Most business companies look down on entertainers, and that includes their agencies. I know you already have an idea why they don't like their son that much.

You think you can handle that?"

"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't expand our company" Felix shrugged. His father raised his eyebrows but didn't bother to ask. He knows his son is more capable than him so he'll just wait and see what his son is planning.

While our PR team is planning for a way to solve this, I'm now on my way to meet the representative of XZ Corp.

"Hello General Manager Cha, I'm Addison Williams from Eclipse Corp., nice to meet you" Addie greeted when the General Manager of XZ Corp. arrived at the meeting place.

"It's nice meeting you as well Ms. Williams" Mr. Cha greeted back.

Upon settling down, Addie gave the proposal to Mr. Cha for him to study. "As you already read in the email I sent, we are looking for a company to whom we can provide our latest software project that would be of help on the field of Medicine. As you can see, these days, most people would prefer to buy more user-friendly technologies that would lessen their work so we are planning on developing artificial intelligence. You can see the details here in the documents"

I handed ot over to him so he could understand it better. "Hmm, it seems you are almost done with the software?" Mr. Cha asked. "We're almost done with the prototype and would soon proceed with testing but as you already know, we are still looking for a suitable company to whom we can test it," Addison answered.

"I see, but can I ask honestly why did you choose us? I think our name is not that popular in the market yet and I'm afraid you'll only use us as a stepping stone." Mr. Cha asked honestly, with full of curiosity in his eyes. He was very hesitant about accepting it as they are not fully aware of our intentions.

"Mr. Cha don't belittle your company. We didn't choose you because we thought you would be easy to deal with, but we chose you because we saw potential in your company. We thought that all you needed to develop further is a little help, and that might be from us.

Don't worry, we'll take into consideration your proposals as well when finalizing the contract if ever you'll agree with this collaboration. We'll try to comply with your requests as long as we see fit"

"Also Mr. Cha, I know it may sound rude but we actually have one urgent request right now. I don't know if you've already heard somewhere that my brother is an artist here in Korea? His fans recently found out about our relationship and now I'm hot in public eyes as well. So to address that, I have to make an announcement as soon as possible that I'm here purely for business. And that I came here as the Vice president of Eclipse Corp rather than a relative of a celebrity so I would appreciate if they don't cross the line so we can work with our collaboration peacefully" I explained to Mr. Cha my current predicament and that it needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.

"I wouldn't mind but I still need to ask permission from the higher-ups" Mr. Cha answered.

"Oh yes, offcourse. I promise I won't mention the name of your company as we haven't come into an agreement on this project and I respect your privacy, we all need that" I added.

He laughed at my remark and put an end to our conversation for now. "Alright then Ms. Williams, I'll contact you after I got their permission and if ever there would be revisions on the initial contract." Mr. Cha finished and we waved our goodbyes.

Outside, Felix is already waiting for Addie.

"How did it go?" he asked smiling while opening the door of his car for me.

"I think it's good? They are willing to look into it but offcourse it's still too early to conclude that they'll sign the contract." I answered.

"Are you done for the day?"

"I guess so? Though I still have to get some updates later from the team back in Australia." It feels like I'm doing two jobs at the same time, but more than being tired, I actually feel positive about this project.

"Let's go eat first, what do you like?" he offered.

"Hmmm,

I'm actually craving tteokbeokki (spicy rice cakes) right now. I haven't eaten it for a while now. Also some Korean barbecue." after talking, he raised his eyebrows at me and asked, "are you sure you're rich heiress? I thought you would say pasta or any dish that would be served on fine dining"

I shrugged, "I don't like to spend money just to eat small portions of food"
