My Greatest Blessing
Chapter -1
？？？
(Coldly) WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING 💢
？？？
I GAVE YOU THIS COMPANY TO HANDLE, NOT TO DESTROY IT 💢
？？？
PLEASE... CAN YOU STOP BLAMING ME 💢
？？？
IT’S YOUR EMPLOYEES WHO BETRAYED YOU... 💢
？？？
AS MANAGING DIRECTOR, IT WAS YOUR JOB TO HANDLE THEM... 💢💢💢
？？？
FUCK… CAN YOU JUST STOP SCREAMING... 💢
？？？
DON’T YELL AT ME, ROZEE. I’M YOUR OLDER BROTHER... 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
SO WHAT…💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
I HAD TO COME ALL THE WAY TO SEOUL BECAUSE OF YOU... 🤬💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(Loudly) DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I LOST BECAUSE OF YOU... 💢💢💢
Raj Ashford (FL's Elder Brother)
OHH PLEASE…💢 I DIDN’T TELL YOU TO GIVE YOUR COMPANY TO ME…💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(Slightly Flinched)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
FUCK…💢💢💢
Her hand kicked the edge of the table a little too hard...
Papers flew, coffee spilled, chairs scraped against the floor.
She turned without another word and left the office...
Her heels clicking like thunder across the marble floor...
Angrily walking through the busy Seoul street...
Rozee clutched her hand so tight her knuckles whitened.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(screaming) FUCK…💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
FUCKING HELL…💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
NO MATTER WHAT I DO… IT’S NEVER ENOUGH FOR THEM…💢
Rozee stormed down the sidewalk, anger bubbling with every step...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Nothing seemed to go right today... 💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(lost in thoughts)
A sudden movement in front of her—
A warm splash hit her shirt.
Hot, dark, and now soaking the expensive fabric.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(looked ahead)
A girl, smaller, delicate, holding a cup that had slipped from her hands.
The girl’s eyes widened... ⊙﹏⊙
She was… stunning. Too pretty...
And now staring at Rozee with the most apologetic expression... (;ŏ﹏ŏ)
？？？
(voice trembling) I-I’m so sorry…🥺
Rozee’s chest tightened. Her patience, already worn thin, snapped.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
ARE YOU F*UKING BLIND? 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
CAN'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING...?💢💢💢
？？？
I am at least saying sorry...💢
？？？
I agree... I was at fault. But you were also walking without looking. Okay… 💢💢💢
？？？
I am being respectful... That doesn't mean you can bark anything... 💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(frustration mixing with exhaustion)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
YOU... 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Hah...~ You know what… kiddo? Just forget about it.💢
She walked toward her car, bumping that girl's shoulder as she passed.
？？？
(shouting) Hey... You. 💢 At least you should say SORRY... 💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(glared back) (눈_눈)
Sitting in the car, Rozee slumped into the seat, rubbing at the coffee stain on her shirt.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Ms. Kim, take me to the hotel.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Hah… today has been the most unlucky day ever...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Nothing seems to go right, and I don’t even know how to solve any of these problems... 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 And brother is only giving me headache more and more... 💢💢💢
Her mind drifted back — Few months ago
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
Rozee…💢 you have so many companies...
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
Why not give one to your brother?
Rozee Ashford (FL)
But mother…
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
Don’t be selfish... 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(flinched)
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
Relatives are already saying bad things about Raj...
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
As a sister, you should give him something...
Raj Ashford (FL's Elder Brother)
Please, mom…💢
Raj Ashford (FL's Elder Brother)
I don’t want anything from her... She always gets jealous of me anyway... 😒
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Ohh... Yeah? I get jealous of you...? 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
IT'S NOT ME. IT'S YOU... 💢💢💢
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
ROZEE BEHAVE...
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
HE IS YOUR OLDER BROTHER... 💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
SO WHAT...? Why you always tell me to BEHAVE... 💢
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
(Loudly) ROZEE... Don't make me more disappoint.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(Hurt...)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(To Raj) Hah...~ Alright… you said you wanted to settle in Seoul, right?
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Take over the company there...
Rina Ashford (FL's Mother)
Now you are behaving right...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Hah... ~ Yeah, He never asked for it, but when mother insisted, he didn’t back off either...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(disappointe)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Anyway, who cares...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 They never considered my feelings... (– _ –)

Chapter -2
A loud slap echoed through the small house.
Rui’s head snapped to the side, her cheek instantly burning.
The room fell silent for a moment before her mother’s furious voice filled the air again....
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
Why do you always make everything worse, Rui? You idiot... 💢💢
Rui’s fingers trembled as she clutched the edge of her skirt, her voice shaking.
Lee Rui (MC)
M-Mom… it– It wasn't... my fault.
Her mother grabbed Rui’s shoulder roughly, nails digging into her skin.
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
It’s all your fault...
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
I told you to be careful.
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
Still, You spilled all the coffee... 💢
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
Do you even know how hard it is to earn money? You just wasted it... 💢💢💢
Lee Rui (MC)
(Rui lowered her head, tears slowly filling her eyes)
Rui's brother tried to intervene.
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
Please, Mom… let her go. I’ll pay for it...
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
(shouted) SHUT UP... 💢
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
You should worry about yourself...
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
The company you work for is already suffering losses.
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
You might lose your job soon... 💢
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
(Her cold gaze returned to Rui...)
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
And you… go find a job.
Lee Ara (MC's Mother)
There’s no need for you to study anymore...
Lee Rui (MC)
(eyes widened in disbelief)
Lee Rui (MC)
(panicking) What…? No, Mom.... Please.... Please... Let me continue studying.😭
Another slap landed on her face. Rui's Elder sister slapped her this time.
(MC's Elder Sister)
SHUT UP... 💢
(MC's Elder Sister)
Don’t act like an idiot.
(MC's Elder Sister)
What’s so great about art anyway?
(MC's Elder Sister)
It’s completely useless... Just like you...
Lee Rui (MC)
(Tears rolled down Rui’s cheeks)
(MC's Elder Sister)
If it wasn’t because of you, everything would be fine now..
(MC's Elder Sister)
All of this happened because of you.
(MC's Elder Sister)
If it wasn't because of you Dad would be...
Lee Rui (MC)
(flinched harder)
Lee Rui (MC)
(chest tightened painfully)
She simply ran toward her small room and slammed the door behind her.
The moment she reached the bed, her body collapsed.
A broken sob escaped her lips.
Lee Rui (MC)
Sob... Why....?
Lee Rui (MC)
Why do they hate me so much?
Her shoulders shook as she buried her face into the pillow.
Lee Rui (MC)
So... Nnngghh... Do I really not deserve to live a happy life? 😭😭😭
Her breathing became uneventful...
Lee Rui (MC)
Hic... It... Sob... Really wasn’t my fault…
Lee Rui (MC)
Sob... She wasn’t... Hic.... looking at the road…😭
Tears soaked the pillow as Rui cried alone in the darkness.
Inside a luxurious hotel lobby.
A tall woman walked toward the reception desk, her presence immediately drawing attention.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Excuse me...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Could you check the room booking under the name Rozee Ashford?
The receptionist’s lips parted slightly at her beauty.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
EXCUSE ME... 💢
receptionist
(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
receptionist
Ohh... Yes... One moment, Ma’am.
The receptionist quickly typed on the computer.
receptionist
Sorry, ma’am...
receptionist
There is no booking under that name.
Rozee slowly turned her head toward the woman standing beside her.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(eyes narrowed)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(glared coldly at Ms. Kim)
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
💭 FUCK... (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
What exactly is the meaning of this, Ms. Kim?💢
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
(nervously adjusted her glasses)
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
(voice low) I… I might have forgotten to book it.
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
💭 God...!!! I am Dead... (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(let out a dry laugh)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
SERIOUSLY...? 💢💢💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
You should go to the hospital and check your brain... 💢💢💢
Without another word, she walked out of the hotel.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 FUCK... 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Everyone is just pissing me more and more... 💢
Outside, the air was cool.
Rozee leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette, inhaling slowly.
Then she spoke without even looking at Ms. Kim.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Go buy me a house.
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
(froze)
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
Huh…? B-But—
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(cold voice cut her off)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
WHAT? Is there a problem?
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
N-No. I’ll go right now...
By evening, Ms. Kim returned.
Rozee stood in the middle of the apartment, her expression dark.
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
(༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING WITH ME... 💢💢💢
Her voice echoed in the tiny living room.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
This is a small apartment... 💢 I told you to buy a house... HOUSE, GOD DAMN IT... 💢💢💢
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
(lowered her head)
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
I-I’m really sorry, ma’am...
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
There were no other houses available to buy... 😣
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(rubbed her forehead in frustration)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
FUCKING HELL... 💢
After a long moment, she waved her hand dismissively.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Fine. You can leave...
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
💭 Thanks to god...!!! 😭
Ms. Kim quickly left the apartment.
The door closed behind her.
Rozee dropped onto the couch, her body sinking into it.
The room felt strangely quiet.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 Why does everything feel like it’s falling apart?
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(stared blankly at the ceiling)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
💭 I don’t know what to do anymore...
A tired sigh escaped her lips.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
I’m so tired of everything… and everyone...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(teary eyes) Dad… I miss you so much. I wish you were here with me right now...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(fell asleep) ( – _ –)zzz

Your Author (≧ω≦)
Let's begin the chapter... 😘
Rozee’s voice echoed through the office like a storm
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Call every head manager from every department to the meeting room... 😑
Ms. Kim (FL's P. A)
On it, ma’am...
Rozee leaned against the table, eyes sharp, presence commanding
Rozee Ashford (FL)
You guys probably already guessed why I called you here...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
I want to know why every company is backing off from dealing with us...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
And why some deals are getting bad reviews...!
？？？
It’s… it’s probably because our plan got leaked...
？？？
Yes… some employees betrayed us...
Then —A young man spoke up.
？？？
It’s probably because of our lack of discipline.
？？？
We didn’t pay enough attention to protecting our strategy and…
？？？
We hired inexperienced employees...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(smirked, eyes locking on him 😏)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
What’s your name...?
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
(hesitantly) Lee Ayan...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Mr. Ayan...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Nice name, and nice observation.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
You got two things right and one thing wrong.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Sure, we hired inexperienced employees, but that’s not the real problem.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
The real issue is we aren’t teaching them properly
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Our biggest flaw is we aren’t focusing on quality.
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
S-So...?
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Simple... We’re going to fix that.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
A new strategy will train our newest employees to the highest standard.
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
(nodding) Indeed, the perfect move...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(smirked) Mr. Ayan...
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
Y-Yes Ma'am...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Congratulations...
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
(confused 🤨)
Rozee Ashford (FL)
You are now head manager of every department... 😏
Lee Ayan ( MC's Brother)
(shocked)
The room froze, murmurs filling the air
？？？
(hesitantly) But ma’am, he joined just a few months ago...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
So What...? 💢
Rozee Ashford (FL)
He has more knowledge and strategy than many of you combined.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
(coldly) One last thing...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
If anyone here thinks about betraying this company.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Resign right now...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Because if I catch you leaking anything… your career will burn worse than HELL.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
I MEAN IT...
Rozee slammed her hand on the table, eyes furious...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
This company is mine. If it suffers even a little because any of you...
Rozee Ashford (FL)
I will make sure you pay with your life...
A shiver ran through everyone in the room.
Rozee Ashford (FL)
Start doing exactly what I said. Right away...
Rozee turned sharply and walked out, leaving silence hanging behind her.
