1095 DAYS BEFORE THE APOCALYPSE
Chp 63: Birthday Gifts
...[.727 Days Before The Apocalypse]...
"Sir, we have reached the South Korean International airport" the flight attendant told Zhara.
Zhara simply nodded her head and stood up from her seat and descended her private jet on the exit she had prepared.
Shortly afterwards, Aland, Rosalie and Iris are seen wearing their raincoat outfits following Zhara from behind.
Zhara went to Korea and only invited Aland, Rosalie and Iris because Aurel and the others were needed at the main Futuristic Generation headquarters.
Of course, Aland was with Zhara not for the holidays but there was work to be done in Korea, while Rosalie and Iris served as both of their guards.
Although Zhara did not need the care of a woman, it was done just to maintain the formalities....
(conversation in Korean)
"Welcome to Korea, Mr. Zhara, Mr. Aland, Ms. Rosalie and Ms. Iris, I hope your journey will go well." said one woman formally to welcome the arrival of Zhara and the others.
The woman named Myung Hee, she is one of the managers of the branch of the Futuristic Generation company in the city, which is the city of Seoul.
Myung Hee is a 25-year-old young woman entrusted with taking care of a sizable branch of Futuristic Generation in Korea, she is a hardworking woman who is honest and has good skills.
Therefore Aurel as the one who recruited every branch manager trusted him very much.
"Thank you for the welcome... I've heard a lot about you from Aurel and I'm very proud of your ability to manage the Futuristic Generation branch in Seoul" Zhara said formally.
What Zhara said is true, just a few months as a branch manager and Myung Hee has succeeded in bringing the company branch in Seoul into the top ten in the list of Futuristic Generation branch companies.
Clearly Myung Hee's abilities are great, even Zhara is currently thinking of moving Kim Yeona to the Futuristic Generation's main headquarters.
"I'm not that great sir." Myung Hee said humbly.
Apart from the conversation about Myung Hee's ability, Aland and the others were very surprised by Zhara's extremely fluent Korean language skills.
Aland, Rosalie and Iris were indeed told to learn Korean before leaving, although not too fluent but they could at least understand a little conversation.
The reason Zhara can master Korean well is that in addition to her Korean-Indonesian crossbreeding, she also traveled with Korean girls during the Apocalypse period and studied the language well.
"It is not good to talk here, we have prepared a car for the three of you" Myung Hee said.
Speaking of which in Korea it is currently in the summer, so it is rather hot outside and Myung Hee takes Zhara and the others directly into the car that has AC.
The car they use is a type of Toyota Alphard family car that can accommodate up to 7 passengers, Myung Hee chose the car because it has the best safety and comfort of other cars.
The driver driving the car was in the driver's seat and next to him were Aland, Zhara and Myung Hee sitting next to each other in the second row, while Rosalie and Iris were also sitting next to each other in the third row.
In the car the four of them had a casual conversation.
Not too long ago, they finally arrived at their destination, a hotel, before continuing the journey should they book an apartment first to store their luggage?
They booked an apartment on the same floor to make it easier for Rosalie and Iris in their guarding duties.
"Well, by the way, how's your relationship with him?" zhara asked Rosalie while they were on their way.
"...... Our relationship has improved." replied Rosalie.
Aland and Rosalie's relationship has now improved but there is still a bit of awkwardness between them, but it's better than ever.
Rosalie was a little dreamy, she then recalled the incident when she was rescued by Aland a few months ago.
As their car is rained down by hundreds of bullets by the military forces back then, Aland hugs her to protect her and it makes Rosalie's already pent-up feelings reappear.
"You better confess your own feelings before it's too late" Zhara said.
Zhara had been in Rosalie's situation so she knew very well her feelings...
"Well, did you buy a gift for CEO Kim Park Lee's daughter?" rosalie said to divert the conversation.
"Gift? What did I bring him for?"
"Of course for his daughter's birthday present, don't you know it?"
Zhara received a party invitation because the one who invited her was Kim Park Lee, CEO of the jewelry company Diamond Stars, Zhara had absolutely no idea about what party was being held.
"So it's a birthday party, yeah." murmured Zhara.
Attending a birthday party without bringing presents was a very bad thing, it would make the good name of Zhara and her company become tarnished.
"Let's go to the mall first while we still have time!" rosalie said in a slight panic, she will not let the Futuristic Generation's good name be tarnished because it is her duty.
It was still 6pm and the party started at 7pm, so Zhara only had 1 hour to prepare for the reward.
...----------------...
Inside the mall, Rosalie helps Zhara prepare a gift to be given to Kim Park Lee's daughter on her 17th birthday.
So the gift should be a good gift for a girl at the top of her kingdom.
Rosalie recommended many luxury items such as dresses, shoes, jewelry, even expensive skin care products, but Zhara rejected all advice from Rosalie.
"Then what should we give as his gift, our time is not much more so we should hurry up!"
Rosalie looked confused due to their not much time left.
"Originally you know there is no point in giving such a luxury to a girl who has lived luxuriously" Zhara said casually.
Kim Park Lee is a good father, so he definitely gives a lot of luxury to his only daughter, let alone Kim Park Lee is a CEO of the largest jewelry company, he said, so there was no point in giving jewelry to his daughter.
"Then what should we give him?" said Rosalie limp, she had given up looking for items for gifts.
Zhara held onto her chin and thought, she then walked over to a plain blue colored ribbon.
"I think this would be a good gift" Zhara said.
