Six (1/1)

It was a pure white, spacious conference room where a single long table was placed a couple steps above the ground with seven empty office chairs behind it. Where we had to sit was in the five chairs positioned side-by-side just a little away, but facing the table.I sat in the chair closest to the door while Bae Soojung naturally took the seat right next to me.I quickly took note of her shaky hands tightly grasping onto the blazer in her lap. She wasn’t kidding about being anxious at interviews. She was tense, really tense.The other door on the opposite side to where we came in from suddenly opened. Everyone immediately sat up straight in their chairs; it encouraged me to do the same without even knowing that I did.Six people entered with folders in each of their hands.I didn’t particularly pay attention as they got closer and closer to us.

My prediction: he’s heir, one born with a silver spoon his mouth and will eventually granted their parents’ wealth without a doubt. It seemed to be the appropriate explanation for the juxtaposition of his age and title.“Should we wait for…?” The lady to his right initiated a sentence before she was quickly cut off by him, “we’ll start without him” he calmly stated.I turned my attention onto the empty chair to his left, which was also the center position. I assumed this was the ‘him’ he was referring to.This name card read:Oh Sehun – Vice President.I never knew that there could be two vice presidents in a company.The older gentlemen sitting across from me then opened his mouth and made the introduction.“Welcome to Oh Inc.
