Collaboration

Jin-joo would probably be lying if she said she had a peaceful night. Though her betrothed never stopped calling her phone to check on her every single minute and yet she misses him so much.

Just one time she's with him in LA as a partner and they couldn't make it together in one bed. Ugh, too bad as she'll tolerate her parents and play nice with them. She's fed up with all the dramas here and there.

After her father got back home yesterday, she suspect him to have done something crazy to someone else she might not know. And her handsome toddler? Him too must also have.

Because he was panting when he called to check on her and that she asked but he lied to her for the first time. Claiming he was angry because of his employees.

When she called his mother, she sounded healthy and fit on the call, then her mind was at peace. She comforted him while he kissed her goodnight.

Here she is, so early as eight AM in the morning at her entertainment industry. When her musical assistant Elena informed her about the presentation in a day from now, she froze and instantly drive herself to the company.

Meanwhile, she felt some aches all over her when she woke up. It was a battle for her and the pregnancy. It has never been easy and she prefer to not disclose any to her family.

The one person who she has made as her little secret picker was her one and only heartthrob. She told him about it and also asked him to get her some stuff from the dessert shop.

Even with a pair of silver glittering ankle strap wedge heel sandals, she still look short in front of her assistant and employees.

She is wearing a plain turquoise V neck double bell sleeve trapeze dress, with no make-up on. It was quite fitted. The dress adjusted upward, exposing her white thighs according to the size of her belly shootout.

Flipping over the pages, she asked her assistant, "These ain't enough, how many summary?"

"Boss, the articles are quite brief and scanty. I guess the directors of music societies will acknowledge it."

"You guess?" She chuckled and shook her head in dismay. "Elena, I wish but if these are all you have for the presentation, I must say no. We need more hands on deck, this is a meeting with each CEOs from the international countries. How do you expect it to be enough?"

Elena lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She cursed herself for stressing her boss even when she knows that she's heavily pregnant. "Am sorry boss."

Taking a deep breath, Jin-joo shut the booklet, "It's alright, gathered all the head of departments. I want to have a brief talk with them concerning this topic."

"Yes boss."

"And why the discussion will be going on, you add something to this thing you made." She handed the booklet to her. "When I get home, I'll see what I can summarize."

"Good morning, ma'am." Her musical manager Mr Wallace greeted as he head towards them.

Tuckling a strand of hair with a smile, "Good morning Mr Wallace." Jin-joo answered.

Stopping right in front of them, he informed, "I just finished having a brief meeting with Noriega."

"Oh really?! Why didn't you let her to me?"

"Ma'am, during this period with your current condition, I don't want to stress you. You've been working too much these days. Besides, we are your employees. Let us do the needful."

"Thanks, Mr Wallace." She smiled. "So how did the meeting go?" She inquired with her brows upwards.

"Well," He inhale sharply and shrug. "It went well. Actually, she wants a collaboration."

Scrunching her brows, "Collaboration this time? Isn't she aware that am heavy?"

"I bet she must have known long time ago." Elena chuckled.

"Of course, she's fully aware and that's why she decided to make it animated."

Crossing one arm over the top of her belly, she massaged her head with the other while groaning, "Ugh, now I'll have to be preparing for the studio."

"Boss, you can make change of plans. Maybe procrastinate it." Elena suggested. Sound like a good idea to her. Though Noriega is a good and well-known British popstar.

She usually pays double, three times the actual amount of dollars whenever she's collaborating with Jin-joo. Because featuring her in your track alone will make your song go viral in just two days of release.

"It's alright, I can manage." She won't allow the pregnancy to infect her career, right? "You guys should–"

"Jin-joo?"

They turned their heads towards the elevator after hearing a masculine voice breaking into their conversation. He was looking hot and stunning with his gold color shade.

Thin cherry lips, well carved nose and jawline. Brown silky hair which was gelled backwards. Hmmm, not bad. What a quite difference. Her man's hair color is brown too and well jelly rolled and curled to the front. Though, he is well-built just like every masculines out there.

"Yusheng?" She frowned. Without saying anything, her manager and assistant knew what to do at the moment. Their boss has a private visitor. They excused themselves.

With his both hands in his pockets and a medium wide smile on his face, he look down at her, "Hi pretty. It's been a long time, no see."
