Chapter 88 - Feminism

"So do you like it?" I asked Minjae and Lia as they looked around.

I was practically bouncing in my place as I awaited their answer for I really did like the place and it still felt like a dream.

"We could set up the front desk and have like little snack bar here for like you know break fast and stuff ouu and we can put a cactus plant here. I love a cactus plant." I said as I gave my thoughts being excited to decorate.

"It's a really nice building and I still cant believe that this is real." said Minjae still looking around and I jumped up squealing.

I ran over to where the elevator was, but it needed revamping so I closed my eyes and imagined my self stepping off at the first floor to get to my office.

I haven't seen the top floor yet so I thought why not go see it now so I dragged the couple behind me up the seemingly never ending stairs.

We were panting by the time we got their, but I was too excited to care about being tired so I ran down the halls screaming in delight until I finally found where my office would be.

I gasped in surprise and in satisfaction at how good it looked.

This place had originally been a Bureau of finance so there were still some furniture in so I sat at the desk as I ran my fingers across it spinning the chair around as I sighed feeling happy.

The view from here was perfect and I found myself being lost in thought as I looked down at the city below.

I smiled as a tear rolled down my eye for I had finally made it.

All those sleepless and late nights of work paid off.

I was finally getting to the dream and to live out the life I wanted.

Attorney-At-law Miss Atalia Carter.

Sounds good doesn't it?

Lia came and stood at my side as she held me by the waist massaging my belly, "boss looks good on. You did it babe."

"Of course boss looks good on her. She is bossy as fuck." said Minjae as he came to stand at my other side and I lightly elbowed him in the stomach.

"Oww" he said after wincing and I just smirked finding pleasure in his pain.

"We did. I honestly wouldn't have been able to do this without you guys and I want to thank you both for sticking with them through it all. I know that I haven't been the best tenant nor friend and I don't deserve you guys so thank you for never giving up on me." my voice was thick with emotion as I spoke and they both sandwich me in a hug as my tears fell.

Minjae being Minjae and always has to add to a conversation said something breaking apart our hug triangle, "tenant? You don't even pay right so how are you a tenant? "

I aimed to punch him in the stomach, but he swiftly blocked it and stuck his tongue out at me.

Lia laughed at our childishness and we left the office to tour the rest of the building.

Minjae's words did work in cheering me up though for I was now back to the excited Atalia that I was a few minutes ago.

"Hey where will my office be?" asked Minjae as we went in and out of rooms.

I have him a snarky reply as I found an old mug and placed it on the desk. I'm keeping that, "I don't know maybe the basement."

"Ha ha funny. You do remember that we are partners right? 50/50." he replied as we exited the room being finished with this floor.

The building was only 6 stories stall so this shouldn't take so long.

"The only thing 50/50 is you and Lia's relationship. You and I on the other hand are boss and employee do you understand Mr. sir?" 

He scoffed and rolled his eyes as we went down the stairs

"Ouu Tally what about me? What will my job"? asked Lia and both me and Minjae made eye contact before I answered her question.

"Well Lia Minjae and I were both thinking that since you have been so awesome and have been the bread winner since I got him fired that you would love to take this opportunity and maybe I don't know , be a stay at home mom? It would be fun and you will be able to buy what ever you want while spending time with Heesung."

"Oh-" she said sounding disappointed and I regretted being the one to have said something immediately, "I guess your right. I'll just stay at home and cook and clean and take care of the baby. Who needs feminism and women's rights and gender equality anyway."

Oh she was good. I taught her well.

"Well you being a stay at home mom was what I would have suggested if I were a man, but I am strong independent woman the last time I checked and also, the last time I checked I needed an front desk lady. Wow. Would you look at that." I said talking enthusiastically with both my hands on my hips.

"Yay!" she clapped squealing as we got to the fourth floor.

"Ouu we can be work wives!" I suggested enthusiastically as we linked arms and walked down the corridor.

"How am I third wheel with my own fiancé?" asked Minjae sounding offended as he tried to cut through the both of us, but our relationship as well as our hands to let him.

"Boy bye- ouu is this the meeting room? It's huge!" I squealed getting distracted as I opened the door revealing a big empty space over looking the city just like my office did.

I can already picture myself at the head of the table during a meeting. 

I'll probably be sleepy though from doing too much boss stuffy thingies. Yeah.

"I swear I'll be having an ear infection soon with the amount of squealing that you've been doing." said Minjae gently touching his ears as if they were bleeding.

I rolled my eyes at him as I pulled Lia with me as we finished inspecting the whole entire building thinking and talking of interior design and décor.

We fi ally returned to the ground floor where we saw the owner who was smiling warmly at us, "have you guys made a decision? Do you like the place."

"Of course. It is perfect. I still cant believe that this is real.  really hope that it is not a dream" I sighed bringing booth my folded knuckles up to my face as I pouted.

Ah.

My famous "give me what I want pose."

She smiled at me and smiled back knowing that she has fell into my charms.

Hopefully it works that she gives us a discount.

"So lets sign the contract shall we?" she said and so we did.

We had a quite short lunch with her as we discussed further details until she had to leave so any questions we had we would have to speak with the realtor.

We didn't get a discount though, but it was fine for I got the building that I wanted and was perfectly happy.

Everything went smoothly and the building was now in my name and I could proudly say that I had my own firm at the age of  22 going on 23.

I was still worried that I would wake up and this would all be a dream but until then I will be working hard and making millions.

Atalia Carter Fighting!
