Mr Arrogant CEO

Episode 4 - What are you hiding Mr. Lee?

Previously on Mr. Arrogant CEO:

'Ladies and gentleman, we are now beginning our descent into Incheon international airport, the current local time is 6:45 am. Once again on behalf of Asiana Airlines, we thank you for flying with us and look forward to you traveling with us again in the near future...cabin crew to your seats'

"Sir?...Sir? Are you needing any landing card?" She asked in English.

The automatic doors opened and James stepped out looking around for Doyoung. Doyoung shouted and waved at him while holding a huge sign that said 'Welcome back to Korea'. Doyoung screamed and run up towards James to give him a huge hug.

"Long time no see," she said before releasing him from her embrace.

James smiled and gave her another hug, before being introduced to her boyfriend. Doyoung's boyfriend bowed and greeted James in Korean. James bowed back.

A woman approached him.

"Are you James?"

James nodded "Yes that's me”.

The woman bowed in response and proceeded to introduce herself.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Choi (Chweh) Hyewon, I hope you received my email when you landed?" She said smiling brightly.

"Hello and welcome to Hanyang Electronics. I am your CEO...of course". 

The audience chuckled. James's eyes grew wider as he could not believe who was standing on that stage. It was the guy from the airplane that scolded him for apologizing too much. He was the CEO? Why was he in economy class?  James began to ponder.

"Yes, I know him. He's the one that wouldn't stop apologizing on the plane last Friday." Mr. Lee responded.

James's face went pale, and his lips sealed shut. He did not know what to say, all he knew was that he was not allowed to say the words 'Sorry'.

Mr. Lee extended his hand out to shake James’s hand.

"Nice to meet you again, 'Sorry' kid".

Mr. Lee’s grin was quite charming, and he had quite a charismatic voice. James smiled and responded with a simple "Nice to meet you too".

He sped down the hallway to try and catch up to James and Hyewon. James turned behind him to find Mr. Lee grabbing his arm staring at him.

“Can I help you Mr. Lee?”

Mr. Lee realized what he had done and quickly moved back, he straightened his suit before bowing and apologizing.

“James, what are you doing after work?” He asked.

“Nothing…why?”

“Come to my office, I would like to have a meeting with you. There are somethings we need to go over to ensure your transition into the company goes as smoothly as possible”.

James nodded and replied.

“Sure, I’ll be there”.

Mr. Lee greeted James and Hyewon before returning to the conference room. Walking down the hallway, with a big cheeky grin on his face.  

***

Just as he thought he had moved on from his father’s death, he was now placed back in the centre of it. Worst of all, his family would have to re-live the tragic incident all over again.

Mr. Lee then slowly started to reply to the text message.

"I’ll contact you as soon as possible. Thank you"

Dongmin rushed to the men's toilets before quickly splashing his face with the cold water running from the tap. He tried to calm himself down by breathing deeply, before looking at himself in the reflection of the mirror. His fellow co-workers greeting him as they walked in and out of the bathroom, but all he did was ignore them. 

Doming began to wipe his face with a paper towel, before exciting out of the bathroom. He had thought about returning to the meeting but in his current state, they would only bug him with questions. Dongmin proceeded to walk to his office and before closing the glass door behind him.  With no time to waste, he sat on his chair and opened his laptop, looking through his emails to try and find an old case file.

'I thought my lawyer already sorted this case' He thought in frustration. 

While looking through his emails he took his mobile out of his trouser pocket and dialed his lawyer. 

Place it to his ear, he began drafting a letter to his uncle who was the judge that decided to dismiss the case. 

The phone kept on trying to connect the call but went straight to voicemail. Domgin then tried to ring his lawyer again. Nothing...just went to voice mail again.

He hanged up the phone and ran his fingers through his hair while letting out a big sigh.

"Why does this s**t keep on happening to me?"  He muttered to himself.

At that moment, his mobile rang with an unknown caller ID. He answered the phone and placed it to his ear.

"Hello? Who is this?" He asked.

"Mr.Lee It's me your lawyer Mr Hwang. What seems to be the problem?"

"I received an email from the police station, saying the case has been reopening. Did you know anything about this?"

The lawyer sighed and replied quietly.

"Yes I did Mr L-"

"Then why didn't you let me know in advanced?"

"Mr. Lee there has been more evidence uncovered that may lead to the
