The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her
Chapter 45 - 45: Kim Eunji And Her Ice CreamFor the rest of the week, Nathan and Kim Eunji spend the days and bonded.
They stayed all day discovering what their like and dislikes. Similarities and differences. And no... they didn't do something close to what they had done the other night.
Nathan wanted to reassure her that he's not dating her because he craved for her body alone. It's not always sex or chocolates in a relationship.
Since they had a quite rough start, he wanted to gain her trust by establishing him as her confidant. He also gave her love letters to read every day. This was his way of courting her.
His letter made Kim Eunji to wear that beautiful smile in her face.
He knew it's too late but he thought it's better than never. Building a strong relationship was never been an easy task. He thought that by showing her, through his actions, she could feel his sincerity.
Weekend came and they both went to the hospital to visit Grandma Sana.
Nathan discussed the option of taking an alternative treatment for her. Just like Nathan, Mei was hesitant to try that method at first. However, as she looked at Kim Eunji, she didn't know why she suddenly felt that the option could help her mother. Sana was okay with it either. Not going to lie but she felt like giving up too. She had been sick all her life. She even burdened her daughter and grandson for her medication. However, she wanted to live a little longer. She knew her wish could be considered selfish but she still want to live longer.
"I want to try that. If this option fails, I'll accept my faith."
"Don't worry. You'll live until you're a hundred and fifty years old grandma." Kim Eunji uttered which made Sana to smile. She knew it was too good to be true but if it's possible to extend her life and live for another ten more years, she's more than happy.
"Thank you dear!"
"No grandma...I should be thanking you for giving birth to Aunt Mei and then Aunt Mei gave birth to him." Kim Eunji then looked at Nathan and then smiled making Mei and Sana had a grin on their faces.
She chose to trust him. She followed Kelly's advice of taking risk. Because of that, she felt free for the first time. She chose to love him with no reservations.
She felt free with him. The main culprit of why her heart fluttered every day.
However, she still had not uttered those three words yet. This made Nathan to be grumpy sometimes.
"Wait, any good news to share?" Mei interrogated.
Kim Eunji looked at Nathan and then to Mei. She was about to say something but Nathan beat her to it.
"Not really Mom...Let's say... we're doing great."
"Is that so? We'll be seeing little Eunji and little Nathan soon?" Grandma Sana asked.
"Hopefully Grandma... But let's not scare the kitten or else she would run away back to her mother." Nathan said in metaphor. He was tenderly looking at Kim Eunji whose tip of her ears turned red for blushing.
"So, it's settled?" Kim Eunji asked them as she tried to avoid the topic.
"I mean, I'll be starting to look for that person. That person is a little bit hard to find. But I kind of had an idea where that person is staying at the moment." She clarified but still she felt awkward.
Mei winked at her son and told him that he's doing good so far. And she's cheering for him to succeed.
"Yeah. It's settled. We'll coordinate with her doctor if she's safe to travel... If not, please do ask if that person could treat Mom here instead." Mei answered her.
Kim Eunji and Nathan stayed until lunch and left after that. But before they did, Nathan had urged Kim Eunji to have a routine check. He was worried that their trip back to Beijing would be dangerous. It had just been a week since the accident happened.
"Nathan. I'm fine...really." Kim Eunji found it troublesome if she would be checked by an ordinary doctor.
As a former assassin, they were trained to last in dangerous environments, taking dangerous missions. Getting wounded, even for a top assassin like her, was inevitable. However, compared to an ordinary person, Kim Eunji was different. Her injuries never lasted that long on her body.
She just recalled that when she was still a kid, she got sick so bad. However, when she recovered, she had gained gifts that other people had envied about her. Because of this, she became a perfect weapon for killing. She just recalled entering and coming out from a capsule like machine and stayed there for days. She could no longer remember the rest.
Many organizations were after their faction because of that thing. They wanted to have that technology for themselves.
Truth enough, when Kim Eunji was checked by the doctor arranged by Nathan, she was indeed close to a hundred percent recovery. Her wounds were healing in a fast rate. However, her memory was still not back yet. But Kim Eunji was not disheartened about it.
Though Nathan was surprised by Kim Eunji's fast recovery, he chose to hide it since he knew Kim Eunji would share about it when she's ready.
"See...I told you. I am already okay." Kim Eunji rolled her eyes to Nathan when they walked out of the doctor's office.
"I never thought my woman had a superhuman abilities." His intention was only to tease her but Kim Eunji felt tensed and even looked at him with teary eyes.
"Nathan...I-"
"Shh... why so tense? I'm just teasing you. Don't worry." Though he said that, Kim Eunji felt troubled since she felt like her fear was starting to happen.
She feared that something like this would happen in the future but she never thought it would happen really quick.
She heaved a sigh when Nathan did not talk about it for the whole day.
The next day came. Another day to look forward with.
Since it's a Saturday, Nathan invited her for an official date as a couple. This was part of his plan to get to know her and to make their relationship closer and stronger.
Nathan toured her on the places where he had mostly spent his time with during his childhood in Osaka. Nathan thought that by this she would get better understanding of him.
They even visited the place where he grew up. He grew up in a run down apartment in the past. But the building could no longer be found as it was replaced by MJ's City main branch which had nearly occupied the entire neighborhood.
As per Kim Eunji's request, they change into a lower profile outfits and rode a less luxurious car, a BMW. They wore caps and masks and huge eye glasses as a part of their disguised outfits to hide their identity.
Kim Eunji was not worried to go shopping in such a place but it's troubling to go around with a handsome man like him. Also, he already informed her beforehand that they will be spending the rest of the day in the mall that be owned.
He also told her that they've been to its branch in Sanya during Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng's wedding.
"Ohayo gozhaimasu Kaichou-sama, future Mrs. Bai." The general manager discretely welcomed them at his private parking lot.
For consistency, Nathan decided for his subordinates to call him as Bai to avoid confusion since it's now his name.
Kim Eunji threw a death glare at him. How dare he to spread rumors to his people that she'll be the next Mrs. Bai.
"Why? Don't you like it?" Nathan asked him as he could somehow read what was on her mind.
"It's not like that. We had already talked about it, hadn't we?"
"Yes, we did. I'm just letting them to have their practice...and for you my dear to get used to it."
Nathan reasoned.
"Okay..." Kim Eunji had no other choice but to let Nathan be. Ever since that day... he was mostly in high spirits everyday.
"Good. Please let your team members to just ignore and treat us as your ordinary shopper." Nathan instructed which made the poor general manager was shocked by this.
"Don't worry. We can take good care of ourselves." Kim Eunji reassured.
However, the general manager made the proper arrangements. Since Marco was not with them today as he was left at Bai Corp to handle executive affairs for Nathan, they had to double check to make sure that nothing would threaten the safety of their boss. Especially now that he's with their next Mistress.
Yes... that was how competent Nathan's people were. That's why he was not worried if small problems occurred. They were more than enough to handle it.
Since Tang Hao's still new to this, Nathan arranged for him to learn it from Marco so that when the time that something similar occurred, he could attend to it confidently.
The two entered using the backdoor of the mall since it would be more convenient rather than using the main entrance. It's because of their distance from the main entrance and not because their afraid that they would blown up their covers if they did.
Unlike the one in Sanya, the place was relatively bigger than the former.
"Why do you name this mall after your mother?" She asked him out of curiosity. They decided to have some ice cream in an ice cream shop inside the mall.
"Grandma once told me that after grandpa died, Mom immediately became the bread winner of the family. Because of this Mom had to work hard to support her medication. She even went overseas just to try her luck to become a model. In which luckily, she did became successful. But her fame didn't last long."
Nathan decided to skip the awful fact that Mei's career was ruined by his good for nothing father.
"She didn't stop working even when she had us inside her. To the point that she almost lose us in the process. She worked hard to give the world to us. Therefore, it's just right to give her an entire mall in her name." He finished his explanation.
"Wait, us? You have a sibling?"
"Siblings. Triplets in fact. However, my other twin was born with weak body constitution. The other one didn't even survived a week after staying in the incubator for a day."
"Where's your other sibling now?" She asked.
"My sister? Mom had to gave her up for adoption. It's not what you think. It's so hard for her to do that during that time. Giving up your own flesh and blood will never be easy for a mother. But she had to think of my sister's well-being. Thankfully, she was adopted into a rich family that could afford to tend to her medication." He explained.
"Did your mother and her got the chance to talk? I mean did you got the chance to meet her?"
"I did got the chance to meet her. She often called me for help when she got troubles on her career. And with my mom... they did."
"She's angry with Aunt Mei?" Kim Eunji asked him as she could somehow feel the sadness in his voice.
"She's upset that Mom chose to give her up but decided to adopt Rin into the family later on. She could not understand that at all."
"But that was for her own good. I mean, she was adopted into another family who could support her treatment."
"Indeed. It was for her own good but later on, we discovered that when her adoptive mother died, her adoptive father married someone else and that step-mother mistreated her. Her father was helpless with the situation. Therefore, at the age of 18, she learned to be independent and live on her own."
"What about her health?"
"You don't have to worry about her. She's healthy now. She was even able to donate her blood to you."
"Eh?"
"But of course, I have to compensate her for doing that. Good thing she's in Japan during the time of your accident. She's pretty hard to please actually."
"It's a pity that I was not able to express my thanks to her."
"It's okay. She didn't really mind." Nathan reassured her.
"Is there any way that I could meet her?" Kim Eunji asked him.
"The chances are slim. She's busy with work." He explained.
"Come. Finish eating your ice cream. People are starting to crowd the shop. You're so beautiful to catch their attention." Nathan stated the fact.
Kim Eunji was dumbfounded. She only took off her mask and still wore her eyeglasses. Besides, she was not some known celebrity that the people would swarm her.
"I don't think it's like that. Their ice cream is just so delicious that they had many patrons." Kim Eunji reasoned.
"We just happened to come earlier than them." She added.
"Alright...alright. My girlfriend is right. It's the ice cream and not us. However, I want to make this day wonderful that I think we should go and have fun." Nathan invited.
Nathan stood up and offered his hand to her.
"Shall we, my lady?" Nathan invited.
"But I still want to eat my ice cream." Kim Eunji pouted as she looked at him.
"Don't worry. This shop won't run away. Come...If you wont stand up there, I will carry you. What do you think?"
Kim Eunji sighed and reluctantly parted with her ice cream.
"Bye-bye ice cream. I'll come back later." Kim Eunji pouted as she looked at her still half-filled ice cream bowl. Ice cream is her favorite since she's not allergic to it. However, it's such a pity that she had to leave it behind.
Her reaction made the man and the surrounding customers who were looking at them be astonished.
"Alright, I'll ask the shop keeper to put it in a cup so that you could eat it while we roam around.
"Really?!" Kim Eunji's expression suddenly brightened.
"Oh my gosh! Thank you! My man is the best!"
