Lee Bin woke up feeling stressed out… He yawned and look around the room… Today is the KBCA day (Korean Business choice award day)… An award given to the best business man of the year…
He put off the massage mode, pressing the button beside his bed..
“Kate… What’s the weather today”
He asked his AI computer device he placed on the drawer beside his bed.
“Good morning, Lee Bin.. Temperature: 390C, Humidity 130C it going to be a hot sunny day”
He scratch his nose a little and stood up from the bed.
“Kate, Any found searches on kim ha ri’
He asked his AI.
“No results found, lee Bin.. the name bearer doesn’t exist”.
The device replied.
He groans and walk to the bathroom…
“Put a call to director Cha”
He said while brushing his teeth… His phone beeped and seconds later, Cha seon was on the line.
?”Have you gotten my tuxedos?’
He asked.
?”Yes… I will have it delivered to you right away.
Director Cha replied.
He walked to the mirror and adjust his hair… He smile and wet his dry red lips.

A car drove in front of the Auditorium centre as paparazzi and the press were already waiting outside flashing their cameras and taking pictures… The bodyguards are trying to step them back as Chung Bin, came out of the vehicle and walk majestically into the auditorium.
Chung Bin is the wife of the Bin’s family, a mother to Nam Bin and a step mother to Lee Bin… She is just like her son, they get wh@ťěver they want.
Soon later, Lee Bin arrived also.
The funniest thing about Lee Bin is that he has no security guards nor bodyguards, people gossips how rich and wealthy he is but doesn’t have any single bodyguard… Just Him and his only friend, director Cha.
He came out of the vehicle in tuxedos with director Cha and immediately, the paparazzi surrounded him.
?”Lee Bin, What assurance do you have that you are going to go home with the KBCA award?
? Does your rivals worries you?
?Are you and Nam Bin really related?
He ignored them and walk into the auditorium as his director followed.
He walked to a corner and took a seat, director Cha sat beside him.
“Would you like a drink, lee Bin?
He asked.
“Yeah, champagne will do for now”
He replied and director Cha stood up to get it.
A lady walk up to him…
“Hi, lee Bin… Been trying to get your attention ever since I saw you… Would you care for a drink”
She said and place her hands on his shoulder..
“Am not interested…
Lee Bin replied and stretch her some money…
“Have it and leave immediately ‘
He said in an angry tone… Fear gripped the lady and she quickly collected the money and walk away immediately…
Soon later, Cha came back with two glass of wine…
“I hope no one had disturb your peace”
Cha asked.
“No….
⏹️ Alright, everyone… Gather around, the ceremony is starting soon..
“Hey”
They heard Nam Bin’s voice behind them.
Cha look behind him.
“Nam Bin…
He whispers to Lee.
“Goodluck, brother”
