Chapter 9 - First Business Trip (2/2)
Seriously.
But of course, since everything had already been prepared and all she had to do was do that interview and the writing itself, she couldn't complain. She was going to get sacked if she didn't take the project, so she might as well try her best to work on this one. At least, if she gave her all and even if she still failed in the end, she wouldn't have any regrets.
And the potato couldn't complain about her not doing her job or being a coward…
Yanee Lee just prayed that Kang Yunjae and the rest of the people she would meet and interview wouldn't be upset with her and cooperate well.
Soon, the one hour flight from Tokyo to Seoul landed, and Yanee who just brought a small suitcase with her didn't take long to get out of the airport after the immigration process. Upon arrival, she was planning on hailing a cab towards the hotel where her boss told her she was booked but was surprised to see someone there holding up a placard with her name.
Huh?
Upon closer look, Yanee realized that the person was from the hotel where she'd be staying at, and so she approached, meaning to ask only but was surprised further when the man recognized her.
”Ms. Yanee Lee from Niji International?” the man asked, but his expression said that he was sure it was her.
”Y-yes?” Yane swallowed hard. She was still not used to addressing herself as an employee of Niji.
”I am Song Yijin, the manager of Grand Blue Hotel,” the man said as he showed her his ID. ”Please follow me,” he continued, and even if she was confused, Yanee just walked after him.
Yanee was totally puzzled. She's just a 'nobody ȧssistant' out on an ȧssignment. Why would a manager of the hotel pick her up in person?
But her confusion didn't end there. As soon as they were out of the airport, Yanee was aghast to see a limousine waiting for her.
”Please get in.” The manager gestured for her to go inside, and so she did.
As soon as they were seated, Yanee's curiosity won and she couldn't help but ask.
”Mr. Song? Are you sure you picked up the right person? You did not make a mistake?”
She must have worn a funny expression on her face as the manager chuckled.
”No, Miss. We were given your photo so I am sure we picked up the correct one,” he explained, and so Yanee was not able to do anything but keep quiet.
However, she was once again perplexed when arriving at the hotel, she realized she'd been given the biggest room they had: The presidential room with all the luxury one could ever think of. Yanee was no longer able to absorb anything the manager was instructing her before leaving her in the room politely.
What's going on?
