Chapter 85 - Lease

"I thought you said that the baby sitter was coming!" I complained for what has got to be the one hundred time today as I strapped the last kid in their car seat.

"She was but then she cancelled last minute and Lia has to work so bringing the kids is our only option. We need to hurry or well be late." he said as I got in the car slamming my door shut making sure to buckle my seat belt.

"How are we going to get through this meeting whit three kids and one who just started teething?" I asked as I checked on them through the rare view mirror.

He sighed as ran his he ran his hand over his face focusing on the road, "I could have done this on my own Tally. I told you to stay with them."

"Nope" I said popping the 'P', "I want to be there very step of the way. I am the boss remember."

He sighed and shook his head and it was fairly quiet the rest of the way so I just rested my head on the seat for the rest of the journey.

"Okay. We are here." said Minjae bringing the car to a stop as I was just getting comfortable enough for a nap.

I undid my seatbelt and opened my door before going to unbuckle the babies who were excited to tag along.

I carried Heesung while Minjae carried the twins and we went inside the restaurant gaining attention.

Our hopefully soon to be landlord was already at his table and was looking through the menu when we noisy arrived and took our seats.

This restaurant was fancy to say the least but they didn't even have baby chairs.

I held the twins on my lap and gave Heesung to his father as we started our meeting.

"Oh wow. It's a whole village of you." said Mister Lee when we finally managed to settle down.

We chuckled nervously at his joke as I swatted Adrian's hand away from the fork.

"So Mister Lee, shall we discuss business?" I suggested as I felt the twins startled to fidget and became restless.

"Oh so soon? I was thinking of maybe starting off with a an appetizer and something to drink. A salad for you maybe young lady?" he asked and I felt offended by his suggestion.

Was he implying that I was fat?

Minjae lightly nudge my foot from under the desk and I calmed down and pasted a smile on my face remembering that I was the one who needed a favor here.

"Ha ha yes a salad would be nice. Something green because I am a herbivore." I laughed and he smiled.

"Umm excuse me," he said summoning the waiter, "we would like to order. Two ramyeon bowls and a vegan salad for the lady please. She is watching her figure,:

What!?

I scoffed and bit my tongue as I felt my blood boil.

Minjae, as if he could read my mind sparked up a conversation to get me to try and calm down, "so Mister Lee, about that contract. We were thinking about maybe signing it today so that we can move on with other plans that we had put together for this week. That is if it is okay with you."

"No hunny that is dangerous." I whispered to Adrian as he made a motion for the knife.

"Ah yes. The contract. I have it here so whey don't we sign it now Mr. Park." said the old geaser cutting me out.

"Well umm actually sir its her company and I am just the second in command so it is her that will be signing the contract." said Minjae chuckling nervously as he looked at me with shifty eyes.

Mr. Lee laughed at what Minjae had just said as if it were the funniest thing he had heard and my palms itched to wrap around his throat.

"Ha ha. I really needed that joke Mr. Park." he laughed some more until he saw that we were dead serious, "but Mr. Parker you must be joking. You cant let a woman run a company as important and big as a Law firm. She will surely run it into the ground for look at her. She cant even handle her own kids."

I closed my eyes as I tried to steady my breath fighting the feminine urge to shove his open misogyny down his throat.

"Umm excuse me but with all due disrespect sir this woman is sitting her and can hear everything that you are saying. You know I am aware that you are from another generation but this is not the 1900s and you little misogynistic jokes are neither cute nor funny." I said as calmly as I could sass dripping from my tongue and back straight.

He laughed a hearty laugh at me my words from earlier not resonating in his shit filled brain.

I did not spend so many sleepless nights to be looked down upon or mocked by this guy and I was standing my ground so I held onto my babies as I left my seat.

I saw the waitress from earlier coming back with my salad and I couldn't help myself with what happened next.

"Oops" I said as I poured the salad over his head and Adriel clapped and Adrian giggled, "oh forgive me good sir but, you must understand that I am minding my figure."

I clicked my tongue before turning on my heals and waited outside for Minjae.

We were both angry on our way back home and I think that it might be for different reasons, but I didn't care.

I am done letting people disrespect me for being a woman and having darker pigmented skin than them.

I was done playing nice and this situation gave me even more motivation to rise to the top and prove bastards like him wrong.

I'll show what a woman can and cant do.

I was going demolish and execute the competition.
