Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Gets off the car*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

( I forgot to tell Eli to arrange the documents.)

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

( WHY did I end up sleeping in the bathtub?)

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Walking inside*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Nervously waiting for Daphne*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Sees her*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

DAPHNE! *Runs to her*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Oh, Eli-

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

WE ARE F***ED! *Breathing heavily*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

What happened? *Worried* Did someone post something about the hotel-

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Catching his breath*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

Vice Chairman has called urgent board meeting *In Cold sweat*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Eyes widen*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Starts running toward the board meeting room*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Why didn't you call me?

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

I tried to but you were unreachable *Running after her*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

It was totally unexpected. I just came and I got the news of her calling a board meeting without you

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*About go toward elevator*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

Don't take Elevtaor. Its not working for some reason

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Shit! *Takes the stairs*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Did you call dad? *Heart beating fast in anxiety*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

I did but his assistant told me he was already attending the meeting

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

I Don't have a good feeling about it, Daphne

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Don't worry.

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

till dad is here, she won't be able to do anything

- It was just like that day, 5 years ago. How I received the call that our Hotel was on the verge of bankruptcy and Mr. Lerk was coming over to buy our hotel. How he insulted Dad in front of the entire board, how he said our hotel could never survive and filed a lawsuit against us saying we were a fraud. It was just like that day when I lost everything. I was praying, I was pleading. Please, please, please, don't make me lose everything again.-

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Opens the board meeting room*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Gets inside*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Panting heavily*

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Oh, you are here. *Looks at Daphne*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

( Every single board of directors are here.)

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Eyes fall on one person*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Eyes widen*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

(Chales Hyun? What is he doing here? He isn't part of Board.)

Charles Hyun (FL'S STEP BROTHER)

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

What is the meaning of this sudden board meeting without even informing me? *Clenches her fist*

Director of Finance : We had to come up with a decision regarding you, Executive Director Hyun

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Frowns* What about me,

Director of Marketing: We received cues regarding your embezzlement a week ago.

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Eyes Widen*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

WHAT DID YOU SAY! *Loses his mind*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Holds Elijah's hand stopping him*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

What kind of bullshit you are talking about, Director? *Eyes darken*

Director of Accounts: We have solid proof against you, Executive Director Daphne. *Showing the evidence*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

They are all made up, Director *Gritting his teeths*

Director of Finance: Do you have any proof that they are fake? It clearly states that Executive Director Daphne is using hotel funds to fill up her pocket, she bribed auditors and lawyers to conceale her embezzlement. *Coldly*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

You all are well aware, I won't do such a thing. If you just put accusation on me like this-

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Enough

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Board has already decided, Executive Director Daphne.

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Due to your negligence, the reputation of the hotel is on the line. Because of your hard work over the last 5 years, this board is showing consideration towards you by not dragging you to the court *Coldly*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Just drag me to the court *Flaming eyes*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

I can prove my innocence

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

*Chuckles darkly*

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Are you sure you can do that, Executive Director?

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Heart sinks*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Looks at Ruan*

Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)

*Expressionless*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Dad *Whisper*

Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)

*Looks away*

- Those 20 pairs of eyes were looking at me full of contempt when those were filled with admiration just yesterday. It felt like just in a blink of an eye, I lost my everything.... Once Again..... I found myself helpless, worthless and motionless. For whom have I sacrificed my last 5 years, for whom have I destroyed my soul and body, for what have I worked so hard? I don't know what to feel. Should I cry or should I scream or should I laugh? I don't know. the last person I thought will turn his back on me was my father but he turned his back on me too.-

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

Due to Executive Director's negligence, she is no longer capable of leading Crystal Hotels. Therefore, the board is re-announcing her position as the Chief Executive Officer of Crystal Hotels and the newly selected CEO is Charles Hyun *Smiles proudly*

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Numb*

- Everyone started clapping for Charles and I felt outcasted. My father had a proud smile on his lips as though I wasn't his daughter who just had to hand over her position, authority and power to her half-sibling. Everything felt like a lie and I no longer felt anything. -

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

( This is preplanned.) *Trembling in anger*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

Dap-

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

*Walks out of the board room silently*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Eyes widen*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Looks at Ruan angrily*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

You gonna fuxking regret it

Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)

*Cold eyes*

Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)

And from where that is coming from?

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

DAPHNE GAVE UP ON HER EVERYTHING FOR THIS HOTEL, HOW CAN YOU ALL JUST BETRAY HER LIKE THIS? *Shouts angrily*

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

She committed a crime, it was already a mercy on her that she wasn't dragged to the court *Rolls her eyes*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

She would never do that. There is no way she would do such thing. *Angrily*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*sees everyone seemed uninterested*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Heart sinks*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

Just what.... Its even waste to talk to trashes like you *Running outside*

Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)

( Finally that venomous winch is out of the picture.)

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Goes to the lobby*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

*Heart sinks*

Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)

Daphne *In cold sweat*
