I won't take it.

" Hmm, Hmm," the Head of the Marketing department cleared his throat to get Yo-Han's attention which was successful. " CEO Park, the due protocol is that the board has to go back and wait for the second presentation, if the losing party impresses the board then their will be another final presentation and whoever makes the most impression is chosen after that, if the losing party does not impress the board the second time, the board will make the decision there on the spot. We can't make the final decision on the spot just after the first presentation."

"I know about the protocol, but can you answer this question, who has the final say here, the board or the CEO?, I own this company, every bit of it and I make the final decision, Whatever I say is final, ya both clear?. " Yo-han questioned both the Head of Marketing and the Project Production Manager, His voice sounded like a war drum to the two and they mellowed under his authority.

They both quieted down immediately because Yo-han is right, the CEO is back and he is not smiling, thanks to that foolish staff. They both knew that with just the flick of a finger, they could lose their jobs so it is better not to confront the CEO again.

"I said I want Ant Animations on this project and so be it. Magic Studios did a great job too but I was more captured by Ant Animations story. CEO Choi, who came up with this story?." He asked and Dan-Bi replied confidently immediately. "I did".

"Mn, I really love the concept, can we talk about the contract in my office CEO Choi. I want everything done quickly, all things being equal, the preparation for the launch will start fully in two months, you would have about two additional months and in total four months to produce a few high quality thirty seconds or one minute reels." He stood, shook hands with Director Yeoun, dismissed Magic Studios and lead Choi Dan-Bi to his office followed by No-Eul, Ms Bae, Na-Gil and Seuk-Chin.

Everyone of them entered the office and Yo-han offered them a seat at the settees in the large office.

Since the time when Dan-bi and the other parties entered the room, the air has been tense. Dan-Bi had been letting out an angry air and it's quite obvious now that she is angry due to her slanted eyebrows and her vanished smile but no one understands why and Yo-han was the only one who cared enough to find out. He had kept his gaze on her trying to decipher the reason for her sudden mood change but still had no success.

Na-Gil coughed to call their attention to the reason why they are here. "Ms Bae, please inform the Legal department to deliver the contract documents now." He ordered and the fellow immediately went to attend to her task.

In no time, Chang Cho-Rong, head of the legal department personally delivered the documents and waited for the negotiation phase. She handed the Documents to Ms Bae who distributed the copy to each sides.

After close scrutiny, No-Eul saw a clause and her mouth fell open wide. "Mr Park, What is it about this contract?, You are paying 150% more than the usual price for this project and future ones?, isn't that too much?"

With a more relaxed expression, Yo-han said " it's not too much, I am just paying a debt, a certain someone worked as my manager for free and I think it's payback time." His gaze shifted to Dan-Bi and he smiled mildly when he saw her face.

"We are not taking the job!" Dan-Bi said, stood up from her seat, turned to Yo-han and said, " My company is not taking the job for some reasons I can't disclose, please find another company. Thank you" she turned to No-Eul "Let's go" She said and hurried out of the office, leaving everyone speechless.

"What just happened?" Ms Chang asked No-Eul who just stood up to follow her boss.

"Like she said, it's our company's problem, we will fix it soon." No-Eul replied and also exited the office.

"Ms Bae, Ms Chang can you please excuse us?" Na-Gil said to the two women who silently obeyed.

"What did you do?" Na-Gil asked Yo-han who also doesn't know the reason for her sudden outburst.

"Nothing worth that reaction, we just went out together yesterday with no misunderstanding and here we are now." Yo-han replied.

"Go and catch your love, don't let her go, Mn, hurry." Na-Gil said and ushered Yo-han to the Private elevator.

" What a bastard!" Dan-Bi murmured under her breath. " No wonder he is not scared of going against my family, because he is a big CEO that can pull down another company without a hitch, no wonder he hid everything from me, how do you expect me to trust that he won't hurt me at last?, This is not the Yo-han I fell for, he wasn't like this, umph. I can't entrust my heart to him be it in a fake relationship or not. I am done acting as what I am not.'

"Ms, you are not allowed to leave this building. Sorry we can't let anyone out of here." A security guard stopped Dan-bi as she was about to get out through the revolving door.

"What do you mean?, I can't get out of here?" ' Oho, restricting my movement now?' "let me go or else you will regret this"

"What's wrong why can't we go out?" No-Eul asked. She and her colleagues managed to catch up with Dan-Bi but they were also not allowed exit.

"We received an order not to let anyone out of here until given further instructions." One of the security guards explained.

"What a Bastard you are Yo-...." Dan-Bi was interrupted by a familiar voice from behind.

"I am sorry for asking to not let anyone out, I needed time to catch up" Yo-han apologized to everyone then turned to Dan-Bi. "Can we talk?"

"Why?" She replied rudely.

"I guess you know why" He also replied sharply.

"Dan-Bi please just go with him." No-Eul whispered the advice into Dan-bi's ear.

"Fine!"

"Everyone can go now, don't hold them back anymore" Yo-han instructed the security guards and left with Dan-Bi to the underground parking lot.

The two got into the car with hostility towards each other.

"Where are you taking me?" Dan-Bi asked before getting into the car.

"To the place where all this started." Yo-han said and did not say any other thing throughout the journey.

' To the place where all this started?, What started? And where?'

Yo-han knew Dan-bi so much and after racking his brain during his ride in his private elevator, he guessed that she didn't reject the contract because of the money, it must have been as a result of her mood swing. But what caused her mood swing, he knew that it's probably something related to their past.

'Whatever it is, we are solving it today, I can't live this way, holding your hands like you are truly mine just yesterday, but today, repelling at the sound of my name. I won't take it anymore. Dan-Bi, it's time I man up.' Yo-Han's thought.

'Yes, whatever it is it ends today, Oh God I am having a bad feeling that I have waited five years in vain.' Dan-Bi's thought.
