Byung-Ho had been anticipating a reply from Tj as he had sent her an “I miss you text”, since she had sent him a text two weeks ago. Although it had been just a thank you message, it had opened up a conversation and he was happy that they were finally talking once again even though it was just basic conversations and she had requested that he stop sending gifts even though he had wanted to argue, he was smart enough not to start a fight when she had just started to reply his messages. He put a hold on the gift giving, the idea was to continue the gifting once they began dating.He had completely forgotten that he was at an event, not until a slender set of fingers with red nails tapped on his phone, which he had been concentrating on. When he looked up, there was a slender woman in a blue floor length dress holding up a champagne flute, she looked vaguely familiar but Byung-ho wasn’t sure where they had met. She held up her hand and introduced herself “annyonghaseyo hyon sonsaengnim j
Two days before she had to leave, she was excited to enjoy a night out with the girls, she had prepared herself to drink the night way and use the whole day tomorrow to recover before her flight. That was the plan so why was Irene texting her to get dressed twelve hours too early, and she was coming to pick her up?. She decided to start getting ready then.Tj had just stepped out of the bathroom when she looked at the time and found that it was past one and Irene would be here in thirty minutes. She decided to throw on some light make up, she was still in the process of make up when she heard a knock on her hotel room door. When she opened the door for her friend, she was immediately hustled to get dressed “I can’t believe you’re still not dressed even when I texted you two hours ago" Irene said while ruffling through Tj’s box to pick up an out fit, she settled for a two piece – a blue maxi skirt, a white bralette top and paired the look with a black leather jacket and strappy sandals
Irene pulls Tj away to the bar, the way she was fuming, you would think Chidi was her cheating ex. Once they were safely away from Chidi, Irene sat Tj down at the bar and ordered them both a drink. Tj couldn’t help snickering at Irene's irritation, she loved the fact that her friend was the most loyal person ever, twenty years of friendship and she honestly loved her a lot. With these thoughts she pulled Irene into a tight hug “Don’t worry you will soon be far from that bastard, and you'll marry your billionaire Korean boyfriend and have beautiful Blasian babies” Irene muttered as she squeezed Tj once more before excusing herself to the toilet and not even a minute later Chidi slid onto the bar stool Irene had just vacated, a wide smile on his face “Tejiri! It’s been a while, you look gorgeous as always" He greeted her as though they were long time friends. Tj looked at him with an irritated look on her face “The fact that I didn’t greet you nor acknowledge your presence on the dance f
Tj made sure to use a whole day to recover from the party, clubbing and after party, but now it was the day she would be taking her flight down to Korea, the other directors would be taking their flights earlier but both Celia and Tj had decided to take afternoon flights so they could say all of their goodbyes. Irene would be taking them to the airport, Tj sat in the back of the car, feeling exhausted from the whirlwind of emotions she was experiencing. Irene and Celia were talking excitedly about the upcoming trip, but Tj could barely focus on what they were saying. She just wanted to shut her brain up, she had no idea why she was feeling this way."You okay back there?" Irene asked, looking at Tj from the rear-view mirror.Tj forced a smile. "I'm fine" she said, though it was clear she wasn't.Irene raised an eyebrow, not convinced. "Are you sure?" she asked. "You can talk to me about it”Tj took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “I’m just worried about going back to work” she sa
The timing for the journey was impeccable as the Urban Oasis team arrived during the weekend and are set to resume on this glorious Monday morning. Tj woke up bright and early, well rested during the weekend and was completely ready to start the day, as the little nerves that weighed her down before the trip had completely disappeared. According to the plans related to her by secretary Ahn, there should be a bus waiting outside for the entire staff, residing at the hotel. She would be meeting her assistant and secretary today for the first time, just a few months ago she was someone's assistant and here she is preparing to set up her schedule with her assistant. She was extremely excited as well as anxious, she has to prove to herself, to Mr Bouche, to Byung-Ho that she was up to the task and was worthy of leading this merger all the way.Tj made sure to have a light breakfast before stepping out to take the bus to the office, as soon as she stepped unto the bus she was met with Celia
It was an unusually cold day at the office for TJ. As she prepped the conference room for the call between her company’s staff and that of HYUN-TECH, her fingers trembled from the cold. A collaboration between both companies seemed underway, and her excitement was through the roof. If all was successful, it meant a trip to South Korea for a few weeks. The thought of that was enough to make her feel giddy all over. She had been a fan of the Korean culture for as long as she could remember, and a trip there was like a dream for her. When the meeting began, she sat at the table with her Galaxy Book 3 in place, taking minutes. Her boss, Mr. Bouche had his back turned to her and the rest of the team as he spoke to the CEO of HYUNTECH and his team through a large screen. She did her best to focus on the meeting, but her heart kept doing backflips in her chest at the excitement of the Korean trip. She snapped back into the meeting when she heard laughter. It seemed like the business talk
As the plane touched down at Incheon International Airport, Tj could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She was finally in South Korea! She was about to experience everything she had only ever seen on TV or read about in books. She felt like a child on Christmas morning, full of anticipation and excitement. She grabbed her bag from the overhead bin and made her way down the aisle of the plane, her steps light and airy. As she stepped into the airport terminal, she felt a rush of adrenaline. She was finally here! Tj’s boss, Mr. Bouche, hailed her over to him as soon as she entered the terminal. “Come on, Tj!” he said, a smile on his face. “We need to get going. We have a tight schedule.”Tj hurried over to him, a little breathless. “I’m here, I’m here,” she said, trying to catch her breath.Mr. Bouche laughed. “Good, let’s go.” He led the way to the black town car that was waiting for them outside. Tj followed, her excitement mounting with every step. As the car pulled away from
Tj was still reeling from the events of the morning as she sat down on her bed at the hotel. Just as she was scrolling through the pictures she took with jihoon , her phone started to ring. And of course it’s Irene, it’s clear she had already seen the pictures that Tj had posted on the gram. "Irene!" Tj exclaimed, her voice full of surprise. "You've seen the pictures yeah, can’t believe I got to meet the park Ji-hoon“"Bitch! Just one day in Korea and you are already meeting celebs!" Irene said, her Nigerian accent proficient due to her shock. "Oya, start telling me everything, where? How? And why?!" Tj was amused .She immediately ratted out all of the events that took places today. “Guy, I don’t even know this Hyun Byung-ho ooo, I was so shocked by the whole thing". “well maybe this Hot Ceo has a crush on you” Irene said. “I’m guessing after seeing your fair fine girl face through the screen he was hooked.”Tj blushing, replied her “well of course he would be interested ,” she
