Chapter 2: Chapter 2
So you caught my eyes.....
---
Erwin Rodriguez enters the room as everyone around him gasped at his presence. He rolls his eyes as he walks toward the meeting table. Andrew tries to introduce the boss and the CEO, "Sir His the Boss of this King Fashion Industries. Mr. Ghim and he is the CEO of this company Mr. Raiss."
Mr. Ghim smiles as he reaches his hands toward Erwin to shake. Erwin pulls the empty chair as he seats on the chair making himself comfortable. He saw that Mr. Ghim was waiting for him to shake hands from the corner of his eyes. "Can we not waste our time on something unnecessary things like this and start the meeting." He was clearly irritated by them.
Mr. Ghim looks at Andrew confusingly as Andrew just awkwardly smiles at him. Mr. Ghim nods awkwardly and motions his workers and the CEO to take a seat. Everyone sat on their chair as the CEO asked his co-work to start the presentation.
Erwin pulls out his phone from his pocket as he glued his eyes on his phone. Mr. Ghim and his CEO look at Erwin annoyingly but slightly ignored him. They knew it's pointless to say anything to Erwin. The CEO starts the meeting "so as you see Mr. Erwi—"
"Rodriguez! Mr. Rodriguez. Not Erwin." Erwin snap's out of a sudden. "You aren't qualified to call me by my first name. So call me Rodriguez, not Erwin." Erwin said as his eyes were still glued to his phone. The CEO gulped and nods hesitantly. "I-I'm sorry Mr. Rodriguez ....." He looks at everyone nervously and then clears his throat.
"So as I was telling that in the market our brand value is about like 500 million and the profits are 300 million. So that way it'll be easy for us to make the deal."
"150 million." The CEO and Mr. Ghim look at Erwin in confusion hearing his words. "150 million is the brand value. 50 is the profit and assets are 100 million. And I'm not going to make a deal with a company which is currently running in losses." He explains.
"But....." Erwin lifts his head up to face the men. He had plastered a smirk on his beautiful face. "but what!?" The curious CEO asks. "But I can fix the company problem." He replies.
Mr. Ghim couldn't help but ask him nervously, "But how!?" "by buying your company," Taehyung said with a victory smirk.
The old man stood up in shock from his chair as the CEO too. Erwin looked at him and smriked like he already won the game. "What do you mean by buying my company!? And what fixing problems?" Mr. Ghim was in shock.
The CEO tries to explain and help his boss, "Mr. Rodriguez I guess you haven't done the research on our company perfectly! You are misunderstanding us—" Erwin again cuts his words and said, "I don't need to do it! I've done all the research on your company. Guess the rumors came out to be true that you aren't paying your workers for 6 months and not even giving them the proper rest or leaves. And I don't make deals with such a company who doesn't care about its workers who are giving their all just to take care of this company as if its their mother." Tension was filled on the old man's face as he says, "This company is like my own child too. And...and don't worry by next week I'll pay them all—"
Erwin couldn't handle the drama so he asks, "How!? How many times did you promise them that you'll pay them by a fixed time?" Erwin got up from his seat and button up his blazer. He patted the old man's shoulder and smirks. He adds more, "If you don't want to sell the company in 100 million without the profits then I shall leave your company and you on the government's hands. Whatcha say Mr. Ghim and...." he looks at the CEO, "Mr. Raiss?"
Erwin glances at the worried and sweating old man as he looks down at his wristwatch. "Ahh~ well I need to go now. I can't just waste my time on something such a useless thing you know. Jah! Bye." Erwin turns around and was about to walk towards the door.
Suddenly the CEO yells and tries to stop Erwin. "S-sir! Mr. Rodriguez w-wait! P-please." Erwin stopped on the spot. Sighing he thought of giving them a chance "Your boss only has 5 seconds to tell me his answer. 5....4....3....2....—"
"FINE!! TAKE IT!! TAKE MY COMPANY AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT." Mr. Ghim almost scream.
He slams on the table hard with his fist and was on the verge of crying. The CEO looks down on his shoes as he walks away to take the company papers and make Mr. Ghim sign on it that now his company officially belongs to Erwin Rodriguez.
He was still waiting in front of the door to hear that Mr. Ghim signed on the papers and he'll take his leave. As Mr. Ghim signed and handed the papers on Erwin's Director's hand he looked at him. Fire can be clearly seen in Mr. Ghim's eyes. He slowly walks toward Erwin who was back facing him.
Standing behind him in a cracking tone he said, "You took my child away from me, that's fine. But remember a heartless man like you can never have something on his own other than taking it away. You are nothing but a heartless businessman. You will never know what love calls or means. Love will come to your door but will turn around when it'll see that your heart is full with darkness and is a stone heart."
Erwin smirks as he pulls out something from his pocket. He turns around to face the old man. "Mr. Ghim do you have a lighter?" He asks smiling.
"No why!?" Mr. Ghim got confused.
He again smirks as he reaches his palm in front of his bodyguard. The bodyguard pulls out the lighter from his pocket and handed it to Erwin.
He pulled out the cigarette from the packet and placed it between his soft lips as he pulled the lighter towards the cigarette and it started to blow some white smoke on the air. The smoke made Mr. Ghim feel uncomfortable as he started to cough.
"I don't know about myself, Sir. But remember...Love is like a cigarette, it's fun at first but....eventually, it kills you."
Erwin said as he inhales the cigarette and blows the white unhygienic smoke on Mr. Ghim's face. Mr. Ghim again coughed and looked at Erwin in disbelief. "And I don't need love in my life until I've my own unique way to rule the world."
With that Erwin left the meeting room leaving the old man and his employees dumbfounded.

ERWIN
I walk out of the meeting room as I confirmed that Ghim gave me his company which he calls his child. 'Child!? Hah, my ass!!'
Not wanting to waste any more time on this stupid company I walk fast to get out of the building. As soon as the driver saw me he immediately opens the car door for me. I got inside the car. The driver started the engine as I told him to take me home. After that, I lean on the back as looked outside the window.
So, I'm THE most famous and arrogant heartless businessman everyone talked about till now. I'm living in Seoul with my family for 18 years now. The family I mean is my younger brother and sister. My parents died 8 years ago due to a car accident. I've no relatives in this world other than my siblings. After my parent's died I took care of the company with the help of my father's dear and trusted friend and the family by my own at that young age. I've studied about all kinds of business I would love to do in the future. I know what people think about me but I don't care. All I can suggest is that 'When you have a million-dollar vision, don't surround yourself with one cent minds.' Haters gonna hate, who cares.
I was dozing off until I heard my bodyguard calling me. Without opening my eyes I asked him "What is it?" My bodyguard replies politely "Boss we have arrived at your house."
I open my eyes and glance outside to see that I'm already home. I sigh and grab my things. My man's opened the door for me as I walk outside the car. I realize that the rain has already stopped. I smiled as I move my legs and walk inside my house.
While walking I was using my phone to see if I got any notifications from my work. Suddenly someone bumped into me. "OH, MY GWAD!!! Don't you have eyes?" I hear a soft voice.
I closed my eyes tightly due to the person's misbehaving. I open my eyes and was ready to shout at the person but shut my mouth as soon as I saw the person.
"Kitty?"
She looks up at me and gasps. I kneel down to her level as she fell on the ground. "Hey little sister are you okay!? You didn't get hurt right?" I ask as she shook her head as a 'no' cutely. I smiled and again I stare at her. "I think you are forgetting something sister?"
She gulps and immediately stands up. She bowed and started to apologize for her being wrong. "I-I'm sorry brother! It won't happen again." I also stand up and patted her head gently.
"It's okay! Now tell me why were you running like a little kid!?" I stare at her and was waiting for her answer.
She stares at me in disbelief like I said something unexpected or wrong. "You don't remember!?" She asks being surprised. "Remember what!?" I ask again still confused. "omg big brother!!" Kitty alsmost yelled my name.
She slaps her forehead with her palm which I found cute. I chuckled at her cuteness as I crossed my arms against my chest. "yes, brother is listening to you, what is it? Did I forget something which I shouldn't?" Teasing her is fun.
"YES! We are going to celebrate for the grand success of your and held a party at our farmhouse at Seoul and YOU..." she points her index finger at me "forget about your own party!!! WOW!" She explains as I groan and weakly smile at her.
"Kitty, I need some rest. We'll talk about it later."
With that, I left her by ruffling her hair into a mess and walked towards my room. I just don't want to talk about something like that anymore. I need some rest and fix my messy mind.
As soon as I enter the room and slam the door. I took off my blazer and I unbutton the first three buttons of my shirt and roll up the sleeves of my shirt. I throw myself on my comfy bed as I slowly tried to close my eyes to sleep peacefully.
But that horrible dream will always hunt me.
