(Third Person POV)
[Pop City]
"Lady Hyejin!" A young woman rushed past the open glass doors of the office, "We've received word that Aria has received another message from her stalker!!"
She reached the desk where a woman sat, panting heavily as she slowly placed a document on said desk. She looked at the woman with a concerned look on her face, her entire body trembling with pure nervousness.
The woman on the desk simply took her glasses off, placed them on the desk and picked the document up. She had a serious expression on her face, a strand of her dark brown hair got in front of her beautiful face, one that was almost flawless. She was wearing a black dress suit, her white button-up undershirt was visible under her jacket.
As she leaned back, she fidgeted with the pendant in front of the shirt, looking at the document with her serious black eyes.
"Hm..." She said softly, "Is that so?"
The young woman said, "We have increased security now." She said, "Aria is being kept within the confines of our building, but we worry that the Stalker's identity as someone affiliated with Mujin's gang would be an issue."
"Of course, it is an issue." Lady Hyejin said as she stood up, picking her glasses back up, "There is no choice. Place the Lunaris under Hiatus, cancel all of their activities, and have all of the girls in the building. Execute this order now. Make it a top priority."
"B-But ma'am, they had a local tour!" She said, "What do we do about the concerts?"
"We cancel them." Hyejin walked towards the door, "Contact the Press, tell them that two of our girls are suffering from food poisoning and will not be able to continue activities."
The young woman nodded, "O-Okay, and what do I tell Mr. Kim?" She asked, "Would he be able to increase security around the other groups as well?"
Hyejin nodded, "Yes." She said, "And tell him not to let any sort of paparazzi get near our groups. Under any circumstances."
"Yes, Ma'am." She said softly
This was Kang Hyejin, the Founder and CEO of Cosmos Imperium. An entertainment company that mostly handles the music industry, specifically K-pop. She was known as "Lady Hyejin, The Empress" due to her influence in the entertainment industry and, most importantly, The Underworld.
She wasn't just a simple businesswoman; she was a fierce figure who even the criminal underworld grew to be wary of. They know that her power is absolute, and anyone who dares cross her will be met with a fury like no other.
There were rumors that American companies have tried to test her, trying to take her company, but they failed miserably. While nobody knows what truly happened, Lady Hyejin was left untouched by the corporate clashes.
And right now, they were in the middle of a crisis; one of Hyejin's top groups has been dealing with a stalker problem. It was discovered that the stalker that a member had was connected to Crimson Scar, a gang that was led by a man known as Mujin. Hyejin was well aware that of all the criminals in the underworld, Mujin was the one who was afraid of her the least. If there were to be an issue with her company, Mujin would do something about it.
She wanted to keep her girls safe, first and foremost. But something like this would create more than safety issues and it is the last thing she needs.
Hyejin walked down the hallway of the top floor of her building, reaching the elevator and pressing on the button.
"Lady Hyejin, what do we do?" Her assistant Juni said, "I am legitimately concerned. Is it true that Mujin's gang really doesn't care about Cosmos Imperium? Is he really going to make a move if this stalker is dealt with?"
The elevator opened, and Hyejin walked in, Juni following her inside and pressing a button. As they were inside, the elevator closed, and it began to descend.
"Mujin is a smart man, that is how he's managed to make it to the top of his empire." Hyejin fixed her glasses, "He knows better than to start a conflict with me."
"R-Right...." Juni said as she held onto her file folder, "But, I am so worried. The girls have been rather uneasy about this."
"Worry not." Hyejin said, "I have a plan for this. A trick I've had in my sleeve, just for a moment like this."
"Eh?" Juni asked, "A trick up your sleeve?"
Hyejin nodded, "I assure you, Juni." She said, "While precautions will be taken, there is nothing to worry about. What I have planned will work out for all of us."
The elevator stopped and the doors opened, having reached a lower floor. Hyejin and Juni walked out and made their way down a hallway, being immediately approached by a few men wearing suits. The one in front was a bit shorter than the other ones and was wearing black gloves in his hands, which he was adjusting.
The ground then turned and walked alongside Hyejin and Juni, making their way down the hallway.
"Mr. Kim." Hyejin said
Mr. Kim looked at her as he walked alongside them, "We have the girls in conference room 1." He said, "I figured you were going to speak to them."
Hyejin nodded, "All of our groups are to return to their dorms. Now. Increase security on them." She said with a serious tone, "Lunaris is on Hiatus and cancel the others' activities for today. I want eyes on all of them for a whole week; do not let them get out of your sight."
"Yes Ma'am." Mr. Kim looked at the others, "Go."
The other men turned around and pulled out their cellphones, walking in the other direction.
Hyejin reached a door, "Here we are." She said as she opened the door and walked in, "Girls."
Inside the room, there were five young women sitting on a circular table. Each of them was wearing casual clothes, their hair was in different styles. Two of them had black hair, one of them was blonde, another had red hair, and the last one had a white bob with blue ethereal eyes that sparkled.
The moment Hyejin made her presence known, they all stood up and bowed immediately.
"L-Lady Hyejin!" one of them said, "It is a pleasure in seeing you today!"
Hyejin waved them off, "Sit, my girls." She said, "I have bad news for you."
They all looked at her, the girl with blonde hair had a frown on her face, "My Lady....." She said, "Don't tell me...."
Hyejin nodded, "Lunaris is on Hiatus. It is official now." She said, "From here on out, we deal with the press while you girls stay in the building until I get someone over to act as your bodyguard."
Mr. Kim looked at her, "My Lady...." He said, "You mean....?"
Hyejin nodded, "It's going to take about a day or two to get him over, but there is no other choice." She said to him, a firm tone in her voice, "We need him here."
"Are you sure?" Mr. Kim whispered to her, "I mean, My Lady, is he really stable? He might pose an even bigger danger than-"
"What's going on?" the white-haired woman said, "Lady Hyejin, is something the matter?"
Hyejin cleared her throat, "There is nothing to worry about." She said, "I've made up my mind."
"My Lady." Juni spoke up, "Even if we bring him here, what are the odds that his presence might cause more problems? The press will probably notice him right away."
"It matters not." Hyejin said, "Again, the decision has been made."
"We're bringing Finn over."
