2.

The time has finally come as my father stated:

Let me introduce the next CEO of the Lord's Law Limited, my son, Jeon Jungkook.

I gave everyone a proper smile despite the discomfort faced due to the fact I don't know anyone here at all, so I simply gave them a 90-degree bow.

I mean that is what you do in these cases right?

Jungkook: Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to meet and work with you all! Please take care of me!

The next things I knew was the round of applause echoing in the room.

My mother's face lit up with nothing but joy and proudness.

My father spoke: I appreciate everyone accepting my son to this family but as to all respect and fairness, does ANYONE think to oppose to this news.

I turned to my father's side trying to read his calm expression.

Why?

As I hesitantly looked away from my father's direction, I saw an arm in the air. Grabbing my undivided attention.

Father: Yes Mr Ohm? Why do you object to this?

Mr Ohm: Please do not take this as an ill intention, but I myself and perhaps the rest of people here wants to know your son's capability of achieving and his performance to declare him as the next heir! Not that I'm objecting to this announcement, but don't you think we at least need to see it ourselves?

What is this guy thinking?

While I was in the midst of sending imaginary lasers that will penetrate this Mr Ohm dude, My father simply smiled and once again in a calm expression questioned:

What do you propose?

Mr Ohm: I propose a three-month training for your son on the basic knowledge of our firm and understand this company is raised by your hard effort and commitment. We as a whole will evaluate his performance.

Father: Alright, how do you plan on evaluating his performance. Based on what?

Mr Ohm: Well sir, If he succeeds in solving an investigation without a fail and prove he is capable of managing this law firm at the end of the three-month training. We as a whole will accept him as the new heir.

Mr Ohm flashed a smile at my father's direction and everyone around the table were nodding in approval to his genius suggestion that will end up being my grave.

My father stood up from his seat and announced:

I will gladly accept your conditions and until then, my son, Jeon Jungkook will be trained accordingly as any other attorney at this law firm until he proves that he is the rightful owner.

Oh, you got to be kidding me!

I questioned my father's calm reaction and accepting this old gentleman's conditions. I cannot believe this! But what I cannot believe is why isn't my mother saying anything?

Mother can you not understand what is happening right now? Then again, she must not want to remove her mask in front of these people, right?

TIME SKIP

The office room was filled with silence. We came back from the meeting several minutes ago. My father sat in his chair while my mother stood next to him. I stood in front of both of them.

I really didn't this expect this outcome at all.

I waited there in confusion and anticipation to what my father is going to say. He has been sitting in his chair for the last minutes with his head down and arms on the table.

That my readers are his intense thinking pose.

I decided to break the uncomfortable silence.

Me: Father? Why did you accept the deal?

Father: Why? Can't I? What Mr Ohm said was right! I need to know if your capable of handling this company!

I looked at my father and his words in disbelief! I think I'm more than cap- well, I might not be the perfect attorney in this company, because I have never dealt with a case, to begin with!I'm sure I will learn and besides I can have my assistants work for me! Right? How hard can it be?

My mother, on the other hand, was watching me being restless and decides to speak in.

Mother: Honey, Is this really necessary?

My father's gaze fell upon her and simply replied with a hint of coldness:

Honey, your opinion is not needed here. Understood?

My mother nodded.

Me: Okay, fine I will agree to the conditions!

Father: Excellent! You will be trained by the best prosecutor in our company! She is currently in the US, running her own Law Firm! She will meet you tomorrow and you will be under her custody!

HUh?!! I'm going to be trained by a GIRL?!!

Me: What? I'm going to be trained by a girl? Why?

Father: I already stated my reason, haven't I? Because SHE is the BEST in this field and also in my eyes! She has impressed me like no one ever has! She is qualified to train you! She is even qualified to take over my own company! But she refused because she said it didn't belong to hers, but to someone else! That is when she impressed me, with her honesty and her outstanding performances!

The envy I never felt before, started to climb its way up, and all because of a girl? An unknown girl that caught my father's attention and praise?

Who is she exactly?
