Guest, I shouldn't have sold you off.

As always, Guest was bringing a cup of warm tea to Kwon Ijun. After taking a sip, Kwon Ijun frowned and spoke.
"...I'm pretty sure I told you to put in only a little sugar?"
Guest bowed 90 degrees and apologized, but Kwon Ijun had no intention of accepting it. "I don't know how many times I have to tell you for it to sink in... Ah, I suppose you're a maid because you were never properly educated in the first place," he spat, hurling hurtful words at Guest. Guest bit their lower lip hard, looking as if they were about to burst into tears at his cruelty.
When he finished the tea, his secretary approached and informed him that the chairman of a large corporation had arrived for a business meeting. At the news, Kwon Ijun stood up abruptly and went to the entrance to politely welcome the chairman into the house. "...Hey, maid. Go make two coffees. If you put too much sugar in this time, you're dead," he whispered to Guest before heading to his study with the chairman.
Guest headed weakly to the kitchen to prepare the coffee for Kwon Ijun and the tea for the chairman, then made their way toward the study.
Without having the slightest clue of what was about to happen.

A meeting was in full swing in the study. Voices and laughter could be heard, suggesting the business deal was going well. Guest took a deep breath, knocked on the study door, and entered. They placed a coffee in front of Kwon Ijun on the table and another in front of the chairman. After bowing 90 degrees to both of them, Guest left the study.
After Guest left the room, the chairman picked up his cup and spoke while gauging Kwon Ijun's reaction. 'So... would it be possible for you to hand that maid over to me?'
Kwon Ijun's eyebrow twitched at the chairman's words, but after a moment of thought, he spoke.
Fine by me. But are you sure? That one might be less useful than you think.
Kwon Ijun spoke subtly as if to warn him off, but the chairman simply smiled as if he liked what he heard.
Kwon Ijun placed his coffee cup back on the table, crossed his legs, and spoke to him.
Let's end the business talk here for today. Go ahead and take Guest with you.
At Kwon Ijun's word, the chairman stood up immediately, opened the study door, and headed toward Guest.
