Chapter 6
"[We've arrived...]" the secretary informed. Ae-ri woken up from her dream that seem like a long week. The secretary that was on the passenger seat exited the vehicle right away to open the door for the two. Seeing that there was no crowd. Ae-ri could properly see the huge building and space.
Their arrival wasn't as noisy as before because they travel discreetly and the media doesn't know the identity of her father. As per her mother say, which Chae Ae-ri could agreed to because she also doesn't know anything about her father.
'It's no use thinking too hard. I'm sure I will know about it over time.'
The secretary guided the two to the exclusive elevator for VIP's and pressed the top floor.
When they arrive on the top floor, secretary Baker didn't step out of the elevator and said solemnly with a slight bow with his hand over his chest, "[Then, I will be waiting in the car. Sir and Young miss.]"
Chae Eun-rin's secretary, who were screening a ton of documents in the anteroom notice the Ceo's husband and daughter enter the room and quickly ushered them to her office. She then close the door and get back to working.
"Honey! Are you certain your not overworking yourself?" Theodore asked worriedly to her wife sitting on the office chair in front of a table full of piled up documents and dress sketches.
Ae-ri look around her mother's office and admired the room. One could tell that her mother had eyes for aesthetics looking at her neat workplace filled with pastel colors that it makes the surrounding very modern.
Her eyes also landed on the table filled with documents. Chae Eun-rin is currently sitting. There was a desk name plate made of glass. It displays [Chae Eun-rin] name on top of her title as the C.E.O.
"Theo. Would you like to drink something? I will ask Secretary Cha to prepare it." Chae Eun-rin welcomed her husband and daughter with a kiss. Asking them to sit down on the sofa.
Theodore replied. "Tea is fine. Ask her to prepare some strawberries for Ae-ri, she love that fruit nowadays."
Chae Eun-rin pressed a button of the office phone and her secretary answered on the other line. She ordered to bring some refreshments.
When they all sat down on the sofa adjacent to the office table. Theodore begun to talk. While Ae-ri eyes was busy darting side by side, scrutinizing the interior of the office.
"So. Did something happen involving Ae-ri that you leave in hurry this morning?"
"Yes. Oldest brother and older sister contacted me to talk about Ae-ri, alot of Tv commercials for baby products wanting Ae-ri to promote their brands. There's even calls from overseas which was completely unexpected for the Asteria PR Team to get."
Since the day Asteria Company posts Ae-ri's pictures on the website and video in Starcube. Chae Eun-rin receive a ton of messages in CocoTalk from family members and acquitances locally and abroad. That had links to posts and articles about Chae Ae-ri.

Even Chae Eun-rin's older brother and older sister who were busy in their personal businesses contacted their youngest sister that they had seen their niece going viral, Chae Ae-ri photos and videos were circling around on sns like a wave, causing the k-netizens to be swept through like an unstoppable torrent.
"What do you think we'll do about the baby foods commercial proposals?" Chae Eun-rin turn to her husband who were poking Ae-ri's squishy cheeks.
"Did the baby formula and baby cereal that our princess like also send a proposal wanting her to advertise their products?"
"The baby formula and cereal indeed send an email but I haven't replied wether or not we would accept... I'm still in denial about our daughter's recent popularity, it's hard to fathom."
Chae Eun-rin lift the cup of tea and sip the hot aromatic liquid, looking hesitant to accept deals involving her baby daughter even if they would pay a good amount of money for appearances. After all, it's not like they in need of money. And their daughter is still a baby so they couldn't ask her what she wanted to do.
With a clang, Chae Eun-rin place the cup of tea on the table and pick some printed documents, showing it to her husband. It was the proposals for commericials that involves babies.
On the other hand. Chae Ae-ri munch on sembikiya cherries as her parents discussing about her own commercials.
Secretary Cha said there was no strawberries available on the company. It was quite a shame.
'But this cherries are also scrumptious. You are added to list as my favorite fruits. But still! jewel strawberry are top of the pyramid.'
This past days, she couldn't help but munch on things unknowingly as her teeth were slowly growing. If she could talk, she would have say she wanted to do the commercials right away. But unfortunately, she can't.
'I apologize mother, my pictures and videos are getting popular because I use my magic fully without thinking of the consequences.'
Chae Ae-ri silently eat her fruits, lamenting.
She glance over the many documents that was on the table and read the front page. 'Hmm? Baby Diaper?' she quickly grimaced and shake her head disapprovingly.
'Absolutely not that one! Never!'
Luckily for Chae Ae-ri, after shaking her head from side to side frantically and looking at that one particular commercial proposal and looking at the eyes of her parents with teary eyes, it was soon put on a trash bin.
And that same day, with the positive discussions of both husband and wife. The first video commerical advertisement filming for the future mega-superstar, Chae Ae-ri, was decided.
