“(Ah yes.)”
Owen Hawkins cleared his throat as she blushed slightly. It seemed that a love line had begun to form between the two.
Han Kyung-ah and Owen Hawkins are trustworthy people, so I hoped for good results.
“(I’m glad you seem to be doing well. I just wanted to see your face.)”
“(I also wanted to see the boss. Thanks to you, I was able to come this far.)”
She bowed her head again.
“(It’s okay if you stop saying thank you.)”
“(But I’m thankful…)”
“(I am also an investor here, so I hope you will work harder in the future.)”
“(President Kim Jae-goo has a fairly large stake.)”
Owen Hawkins chimed in.
After sitting for a while, the three of them had a conversation. It was a conversation closer to the current situation than work.
After the conversation in a relaxed atmosphere, Han Kyung-ah went back to work.
“(Looks like you’re doing well.)”
“(Han Kyung-ah is quite talented. Thanks to her, I was introduced to a good talent.)”
I guess that’s not all.
That’s enough for personal life, now it’s time to talk about business.
“(CEO Hawkins, what do you think about security robots?)”
“(I think it’s one of the promising business areas. If robots patrol instead of police, we can reduce manpower and reduce human casualties in the event of an accident.)”
“(What do you think about attaching firearms to robots?)”
Owen Hawkins sobbed.
“(Does it really need to be equipped with lethal weapons? Why not use riot gear if possible?)”
“(If you say riot gear.)”
“(Something like a tranquilizer bullet or a net gun.)”
‘I think that would be better.’
If left alive, information could be gleaned. Benjamin Chung is good at extracting information from the other person, so I’d rather keep him alive.
“(I want to bring in a security robot, how long will it take to develop it?)”
“(What kind of job would a robot do?)”
Owen Hawkins listened to me.

Robot development didn’t happen that fast. Hearing that he would hurry up and develop since he already had the technology, he got out of Robora Rob.
While I was there, I stopped by a few startups, made some investments, and returned to Korea.
‘It’s the day of the meeting soon.’
The meeting date was set earlier than expected. I thought the date would be delayed because William Carver was busy, but he set up a date right away.
My parents said anytime is fine, so an appointment was quickly made.
‘I’m nervous.’
I made suits for the two of you for today. It was very cool to see him wearing neat clothes that he said were wings.
When I went to the beauty salon in the morning to get my hair done, I could feel the aura that even the CEO and wife of a company could believe.
‘As expected, I like money.’
Even though they had a lot of money, they didn’t know how to spend it on themselves, but I thought it would be nice if they could give more to themselves through this opportunity.
The place was a restaurant on the 47th floor of Eunsung Hotel Namsan. I made a request to Shin So-hee and reserved a special room for VVIPs.
One wall of the large hall was made of open windows, and when the blinds were lowered, it was completely blocked from the outside.
“Nice.”
“Can I take a picture for you?”
“It’s good.”
I took a few pictures with the window in the background while it was decorated nicely. The two were delighted and seemed to be sending a message to their friends.
10 minutes before the appointment time, a clerk knocked on the door and came in.
“A guest has arrived.”
“Please let me in.”
When the door opened, members of the Carver family appeared. William Carver looked at me with a solemn face.
“(Long time no see.)”
You speak surprisingly well
William Carver.
The leader of the Carver Group and Elisa’s father.
When I was invited to visit his house for Christmas, the atmosphere was warm because I was wearing a knit, but I felt the pressure in a suit.
“(Yes. Long time no see.)”
Elisa smiled and gently waved her hand, but she was nervous and only exchanged glances. She smiled softly and nodded.
An interpreter introduced by Im Han-ul followed them and joined them. She translated the words of William Carver and told them to her parents.
“Hello. I’m a person who is being left behind.”
“(Nice to meet you. My name is William Carver. I lead the Carver Group.)”
The two shook hands lightly. Afterwards, we exchanged greetings with the mothers. It was a little awkward atmosphere, but thanks to the interpreter’s gentle interpretation, I was able to get over it.
“(The scenery is nice.)”
Fortunately, Alec Carver was also present. Because he clearly supported the relationship between me and Elisa, he was like an ally.
As if telling me to put my mind at ease, he raised his thumb so that only I could see it.
“(Don’t think about coming to a place like this, you’ll care about your marriage.)”
“(Father. You know. My heart is strong.)”
“(Because you seem stubborn.)”
William Carver clicked his tongue, but Alec Carver passed it off as if he was used to it. The appearance of Elisa in a slightly flashy dress for the wedding ceremony was fantastic.
She quietly put her hand on the table. The ring I gave you as a gift for your proposal was sparkling.
‘She wears it well.’
It was satisfactory.
William Carver cleared his throat.
“(I would like to say a word to my in-laws.)”
“What do you want to say?”
My father must have been nervous, so he gulped. William Carver, who had a stubborn atmosphere, was a tough opponent to me now.
It would be even more so for my father, who had never dealt with a businessman.
I thought I should intervene after looking at the atmosphere in moderation, but William Carver opened his mouth.
“(You raised your son very well.)”
“Heh heh. He grew up well on his own. You raised your daughter very nicely.”
“(Don’t say anything. There’s no such thing as a tomboy. I’m relieved to hear that I’m marrying the sincere President Kim Jae-goo.)”
“Thank you for taking good care of my poor son.”
The two lived very different years. William Carver was born and raised in a conglomerate family called the Carver family, and my father was just born in the countryside.
I didn’t think that the head of Carver Group, a world-famous grain company, and the head of an ordinary Korean would communicate well…
‘Surprisingly, he communicates well.’
There was also the virtue of the interpreter’s smooth translation, but the two of them unexpectedly got along well in that they had been involved in the business all their lives.
Elisa’s expression, which had been sitting with a tense expression at first, also relaxed.
“(I think this will go well with my in-laws.)”
“Your in-laws have a great sense of humor.”
The special order of delicious food filled the table, and the atmosphere heated up. While they were mixing Andong soju and Western liquor, the atmosphere at the wedding ceremony hall heated up before they knew it.
It was such a friendly atmosphere that there was no place for young people to sit. The mothers also burst into laughter at the jokes of the two of them.
‘done.’
This was a story about the meeting going well.
“(The view is nice, the food is delicious. The sense is good. In-laws.)”
“hahahaha. Everything was prepared by Jaegu.”
“(Aren’t the in-laws preparing such a son?)”
My face was flushed with shame when they complimented me.
I don’t know how I persuaded them, but the meeting room was full of laughter.
But even good times have an end.
After the main dish was finished, tea was served along with dessert. Dessert, a mixture of Korean and Western food, was served with warm tea.
You can eat whichever you like.
“(Then what would you like the wedding date to be?)”
“Isn’t that for the kids to decide?”
“(I heard that you want to do it once in Korea and once in the US.)”
“I hope it was done that way considering the language of the officiating speech.”
“(You’re right. But there’s one thing that’s a little difficult to say.)”
William Carver’s expression darkened.
“What is?”
“(Can you hold the wedding next June?)”
Since it is now May, I was told to wait for over a year. My father nodded as he looked at me.
We got engaged less than a year after we met, but the time she and I spent wasn’t long. Besides, since he had even remarried, it would be regrettable if he was not careful.
I remembered what Elisa had said in passing.
From nob le mt l dot com
June is June in English. It is said that the month originated from Juno (Hera), the goddess of family, so if you get married at this time, you can become a happy bride.
I felt the heart of William Carver who wanted the happiness of his only daughter. Since it is now May, it was difficult to finish the wedding in a month, so it was inevitable.
If they suddenly announced their wedding next month, it was clear that people would gossip about it. William Carver was in a position where he had to take care of his honor, so it was an inevitable choice.
‘I can tolerate it for about a year.’
It was a longer wait than expected, but nothing was impossible. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see you in the meantime.
Elisa shrugged her shoulders with an apologetic expression.
He looked at his father and nodded.
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
“(I seem to get along well with my in-laws. I look forward to a wonderful wedding. I plan to get married on Lanai Island.)”
Lanai, Hawaii’s sixth largest island, was the largest privately owned island at present. It was also known as a resort for chaebols, and it was no wonder that William Carver had a relationship with the owner of the island.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
My father took notice.
“(My in-laws are a pleasant person, so I was relieved. Come visit Minneapolis soon. I will treat you with a full course.)”
“I’ll see you sometime.”
If Elisa wanted to rent the island of Lanai, I would have to reserve a wedding venue just as good as that.
‘One year is enough.’
It was time to make it without it.

After a stormy meeting, the people of the Carver family returned to the United States. Just before leaving, Elisha sneaked up to me.
“(I’m sorry my father is stubborn.)”
“(You were still a good person.)”
It was a bit dogmatic, but I didn’t force it on others. Although we had to accept it unilaterally.
I also sincerely hoped that she would be happy as a June bride.
‘Although we’ll have to work hard together.’
“(It’s bothering me that I pushed back the wedding date so much. I could do it next month…)”
“(When you get married, you feel different from dating. Do you want to date Elisa-san a little more?)”
She opened her eyes wide.
“(It’s been less than a year since we dated.)”
“(Ah. That’s right. I’m so used to having Mr. Jaegu by my side, so I thought it was a long time ago.)”
I kissed her on the forehead because her smile was so cute. A blush appeared on Elisha’s cheeks.
“(We won’t run away, so let’s try step by step.)”
“(Okay. Then, let’s go on a date until next year, shall we?)”
“(Where do you want to go?)”
“(Anywhere is good with Jaegu.)”
She kissed me briefly on the cheek. Heat rose up on his face.
“(Since it’s summer soon, how about going to the beach to play?)”
“(Maybe?)”
I need to work out hard to stand next to Elisa’s perfect body.
“(Let’s play together in California. It’s okay to bring Hayeon too.)”
“(Thank you for always being considerate. Ms. Elisa.)”
She laughed wordlessly. It was clear that a responsible Elisa would be a good mother to Ha-yeon.
“(I just want to go in.)”
“(Is it okay if I don’t drive you to the airport?)”
“(My father rented a limousine.)”
then there is nothing you can do
“(Go in carefully.)”
“(Jaegoo is doing well, too.)”
He stood there and looked at her back until Elisa was gone. Her curly blonde hair flowed like a waterfall.
‘I’m such a happy guy.’
It felt like a blessing to be able to be with her.

Randy Rollins, a reinforcement to help Seol Gyeong-taek’s election campaign, has arrived in Korea. It was because Congressman Seol Gyeong-taek was busy with lawmaker activities as there was still time left until the opening day.
‘Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek lives very hard.’
Even in the midst of his busy schedule, he made an appointment even late at night when he requested a meeting. It was highly desirable to wake up early in the morning and set aside time to meet your helpers even though you would be tired from the start of your schedule.
‘It would be nice if I could take good care of my health.’
Randy Rollins looked alive thanks to the jet lag. He said that he slept soundly during the flight and felt good.
