《THE FORGOTTEN DAD》CHAPTER 22
Advertisement
"Follow me to my office now!"
A pair of shining rose gold Christian Louboutin heels stepped out from the elevator before its kissed the marble mosaics floor step by step swiftly. There was her secretary, Irene who already welcoming her right in front of the elevator. Along with her bold moves, she quickly threw away her latest special edition Gucci handbag and sunglass towards Irene before the other two bodyguards helping her opened the door. Once the huge glass door had been opened, there were a lot of her employees greeted her while bowing their head low, a sign of respect to their leader.
"Where is our Chief Editor?!" said Jennie arrogantly while crossing her arms. Meanwhile her eyes keep trying to detect the one she been looking for.
"Here. What's the matter, madam?"
She looked at one girl who came close to her cowardly. Jennie's wide open eyes reflected everything and saw nothing but only madness towards this dumb employee. Behind them was something more intense than normal thought and she knew all of her employees already aware that when her clenched jaw appeared, it wasn't a good sign. A magazine that she held from this morning unexpectedly flew on the air nearly reaching to that poor female employee. She just threw it without hesitation or worrying on what her employees might think about this kind of behavior.
"What rubbish did you sent to Vogue huh?! Jeon Jungkook's second wife?!" she shouted loudly until the whole level could heard her. Her eyes looked like they might pop out, rigid with fury and hate.
She didn't give a damn about her pride anymore. Her own employee just labeled her as JK Group President's second wife and sent the information to the most high class magazine, Vogue Korea. Those statement was really humiliating her as people will not enough sending hate towards Jennie for destroying Jungkook's previous relationship. Even though it's already two years that divorcement happened but still she always got threat and hate from those stupid obsessive fans.
Her lips suddenly drew a smirk continued with a small laugh yet sarcastic.
Jennie arranged her steps towards that poor girl while crossing her arms. All the employees seemed like they wouldn't interfere the argument between their boss and colleague. Everybody scared to Jennie and her anger mood because nothing would change the fact that they were working for her now.
"I- I swear to God madam. It isn't me! I wo- would not claiming you as a.. As a...," the only thing Jennie could hear is murmuring of her employee.
she shouted to her, impatiently.
That poor employee shocked with her sudden yelling and ended up burst into her most anti-word. "As a mistress madam!"
Within a second, a slap stung to her right cheek hard. That was right in close for her maximum impact of anger. The mistress title seems like will attached to her forever even though she's already official wife to Jungkook.
"Irene!" she called her secretary.
"Yes Mrs. Jeon,"
Irene who stood still beside the bodyguards from the first moved forward. Her face remains calm as she used to watch this kind of behavior before.
"I don't want to see this face here anymore!"
"As you wish Mrs. Jeon,"
Jennie smirked again towards her ex-employee who starting to cry. She loves her job now. Everyone seems like afraid of her and she got hold a power to make everybody in JK Group followed her order.
"One more thing..."
"Pardon?" replied Irene. She looked surprise a little bit when Jennie suddenly make a second wish.

"Make sure she will never get any job after this-
ANY KIND OF JOB!" said Jennie before her steps began to start moving.
She ignored that pathetic girl's cries merciless and walks into her office. Irene also followed her behind and leaving the chaos that she already make. She didn't care what other employees might think of her now. That's what you gonna face if you dare enough to apply a job here.
Jennie walked towards her main desk where she done most of her work and sat herself on the chair. She leaned her head back, trying to relax her mind that tends to mess up early in the morning. What a terrible news to start her day with! It's just ruined her mood.
"What's on the schedule today?" she began to speak again. But now with a soft voice and bright tone.
Jennie Kim now is not like Jennie Kim from two years ago. A lame, unwanted model? An idol from disbanded girl group? Hell no! That's the old her. Huh, now all those shitty fashion designers wanted to collaborate with her? Please keep dreaming sweetie because she ain't longer buying those fake sweet talks. Her reputation and standard is so much higher than that. As high as The First Lady. The First Lady might be able to control the whole South Korea meanwhile she gets to control everything in JK Group. When she said everything, just believe it's EVERYTHING including President himself.
People might see her as a gold digger, the one who destroy someone's relationship but not in business world honey. As long as you are powerful, then don't worry about those childish malicious comments about you. How rude they were towards you before, they will end up bowing down and seeking help from you at last. That's reality. People now are putting money first than their own dignity. Just look what happened to her. The charismatic Jennie succeeded herself as CEO of JK Beauty which is also one of the JK Group's subsidiaries and already achieved a top global skincare and cosmetics conglomerate, operating 33 health, beauty and personal care brands.
"The First Lady will come over to our Gwanghwamun building for her monthly skincare treatment at 10 and you need to attend high tea party with all VIP wives at Madam Lee's mansion this evening," explained her secretary, Irene.
"Madam Lee?"
Her job which requires her to meet every different person each day making she sometimes quite unsure and easily to forget. Thanks God there's her PA who always reminding her everything that she needs to do.
"Vice Minister of National Defense's wife, Mrs. Jeon"
That's the most hateful thing she doesn't want to do. Meeting those old and smuggy women just only to make sure their businesses among each other went well.
"How about lunch time? Did I have any appointment with someone else?" she asked.
"The last time I checked, no Mrs. Jeon," Irene replied, humbly.
Jennie's lip formed a smile."Good. Make that space free. I want to go somewhere,"
That's the only appropriate time to see him. She needs to see him as soon as possible despite of having a busy schedule because another problem had arrived. Yes, she needs to get rid of them before it could be worsen and bring any botheration for her.
"Where?"
"Park Legacy," she smirked.
ⓞ
"Mrs. Jeon,"
She turned aside and found Park Legacy's employee came greeting her. She just arrived at the Park Legacy building and within a second after she came out from the car, there's one girl who was prepared for escorting her.

"Mr. Park is in the meeting right now and he asked you to wait him in his office," said that girl who wearing a tight red skirt.
"How long the meeting would take his time?" she asked nicely while walking into the building. The escort girl rushingly followed her around after noticing Jennie's steps faster than usual.
"Another ten more minutes, Mrs. Jeon,"
"Great!" said her again.
Both of them reached at the lobby and there's Mr. Park's secretary came out from the elevator and walked closer towards her. But her eyes didn't fall towards that male secretary. There's someone else who also in that elevator and seeing him make her regain back those old memories.
"Jennie..." He called her name quietly. This guy seems surprised to see her right here and so does her. Jennie never expected she would meet the guy she wished to forget for the rest of her life today.
"Jinyoung..." she said, slowly but enough to make him heard of her voice.
Saying his name stabbed her heart, like someone had ripped through her carefully stitched up world and exposed the infected, pulsing red tissue that she thought she was healing. Why did he appear again? When did he come back?
"Excuse us for a moment," Jennie took a quick glance to her right side, informing some Park Legacy employees to give them some space to talk. She didn't want anyone to know what kind of relationship she used to had with another heir of Park Legacy. All of them followed her order and began to step away from them.
Jennie tried to fight away her tears which came flooding around her eyes. She doesn't want Park Jinyoung managed to see the weak side of her anymore. Not after what already happened between them.
"Jennie..." Jinyoung called her name again. The sound of his voice was still the same. The way he called Jennie with his manly but soft voice remain unchanged making her more afraid. She afraid she couldn't defends what she supposed to.
Jennie cleared her throat off. "So we meet again Mr. Park." She didn't want her feelings to overtake her now. And she refused to meet him right in her eyes too. It's way too awkward after years not seeing each other.
"What are you doing here?" he sounded like he still did concern about her.
"I came to meet your brother,"
"Hyung?"
She nodded."I have to go now," Jennie began to move forward, passing him. Seriously talking to him after such a long time could only bring heartbreak for her. But her steps stopped right away when Jinyoung grabbed her arms suddenly.
"Jen, I'm sorry," his raspy voice whispered to her ear.
"I don't want to recall it anymore. So please just forget what already happened between us," replied her while loosening his hands from her arms. She began to walk again and distancing herself from him.
Never fall in love again with someone that won't fight for you because when the real battles begin they won't pull your heart to safety, but they will their own. And sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake and help us see we are worth so much than we're settling for.
she heard Jinyoung called out her name from the back.
She looked at the surroundings and it seems like all the employees began to stop what they been doing and look at both of them. Oh my god! This was so embarrassing.
"What are you doing? Enough with apologizing. I heard you once," said her whispering.
Jennie surprised when she looks at Jinyoung. His face already turns to red. Did he just about to cry now?
"No." Jinyoung strode towards her.
"I didn't call you because I'm sorry on what I had done to you before. I'm just tired of watching you be in love with someone else-someone, incidentally, who will never love you back. Not the way I do,"
She looked at him unblinkingly. What did he just said? Wait a minute- How did he know about her one-sided love towards Jungkook?
"It isn't your business, Mr. Park," she tried to smile towards Jinyoung.
"The fact that I fall in love with Jungkook had shown that I already getting over you so please respect my marriage life,"
Someday you're gonna look back on life as such as sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing...
She saw Jinyoung's face who also tried to hide his feelings changed drastically. He stared at Jennie for a while with an undetected meaning before walked away with his bodyguards.
Well now, if little by little you stop loving me. I shall stop loving you. Little by little if suddenly you forget me. Do not look for me. For I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my life and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots. Remember, that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land.
ⓞ
"I assumed you already meet my brother downstairs,"
Jennie tends to look at the document paper when Mr. Park tried to bait her with something that she couldn't stand with.
"Unfortunately I do," said her while closing the file.
"Jinyoung will be handling Park Motors from now on. As CEO there," said him before sat himself down to the sofa, facing Jennie.
Jennie started to roll her eyes when Mr. Park bragging about his brother.
"Why you're telling me this?"
"Don't you want to know about him?"
She heard Mr. Park laughed. Evil laugh which like mocking her now after meeting her once lover.
"Yeah speaking of him. I would like to know why he back to Korea again?"
Mr. Park laughed at her again. She knew that this man in front of her right now assuming that she still care about his brother.
"It's good news to you, Mrs. Jeon,"
"Good news?"
"You know dad didn't like Jinyoung's relationship with you right? That's why he arranged a marriage between him and his partner's daughter,"
She hated that Mr. Park dragged her into the old memories again. What did he try to say to her? What happened to Jinyoung actually?
Suddenly a phone rang from across the table. She looked at Mr. Park who stood up and went to his desk.
"Park Chanyeol speaking," she heard him answering the call.
After a while of silence, she heard him again. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell him I would send to Park Electronics another three million by tomorrow,"
Mr. Park came back to Jennie after a short conversation on the phone.
"Isn't Park Jimin, your third brother that handle Park Electronics now?" asked her just to make a certain of her thought about another subsidiary company under Park Legacy.
"Yeah that brat. He just almost to ruin family company by making five billion loss in just a month," Park Chanyeol seems like he already pissed off with his brother's behavior.
"Wow what happened?"
"Just like your husband a long time ago,"
Why it related to Jungkook?
"Huh?"
"Gambling, womanizer and alcoholic," he smirked.
A long time ago your feet. Jungkook is still the same now.
"Well how about we pursue to our main point right here. I don't want to waste my time more by talking about useless thing," Jennie quickly changed the topic. The main reason that brought her here.
"JK Group?" guessed Park Chanyeol.
She nodded.
"Have you got yourself JK Motors' ownership document yet?"
Every time he met Park Chanyeol, that's the first thing he's gonna ask. About JK Motors. No way she could give JK Motors easily to Park Legacy. JK Motors is the biggest subsidiary company of JK Group and for sure Jungkook won't let his precious company that he been working on for years to someone else.
"Not yet,"
"Jennie, Jennie, Jennie," Park Chanyeol shook his head several times while smirking.
"Isn't two years enough for you to confiscate his wealth," said him again.
"I don't want to divorce him,"
"I didn't ask you to,"
"But that will makes Jungkook divorce me. Why wouldn't you take other company like JK Music or even mine company, JK Beauty? You know without JK Motors, JK Group is nothing," begged Jennie to Park Chanyeol.
"That's why I wanted JK Motors. JK Group is an enemy to Park Legacy and the only way to turn him down is JK Motors, the heart of JK Group," Park Chanyeol laughed merciless.
"Don't you remember our deal two years ago? The money laundering issue? Who settled down it for you? Who brought the fake products into JK Group? You still owed me something Jennie,"
There he goes again. Park Chanyeol threatened her with their awful act towards JK Group two years ago that throwing off Jungkook to prison only for separated him with his previous wife, Y/N and the unborn baby.
"I know! I know! But now another problem had occurred!"
She looked at Park Chanyeol who tends to smirk again for hundred times.
"About Jungkook meeting Y/N? Or about Y/N will back to Korea?" said him without any sign of afraid.
"What? Back to Korea? How did you know?"
Jennie didn't aware with this sudden news. How Park Chanyeol gets to know about them first than she did.
"Let her, Jennie. That's not the main issue here that we have to think about. Besides, don't forget that Mark is still exist,"
"So what we have to do now?" Seriously she tried to think many ways on how to overcome this problem. But right now she still didn't get any of it. She looked at Park Chanyeol who began to bring his head closer towards her.
