Chan excused Mr. P and drove the car by himself. He brought Jina to the hill famous for sightseeing. It was already evening and Chan planned to see the sunset at the hilltop. It had twelve hair pin bends and Chan was careful to not make Jina nauseous during the whole travel.Jina was silent all along the journey. Her mind was filled with the reports of fire that occurred at her mother’s laboratory. She was abroad doing her research during this time and by the time she came back, everything was destroyed.Live – On was her parents’ company that produced drugs. Under its research wing, her mother, Jie Hain was developing new drug from Curcumin that could treat cancer patients. From the reports that Chan had given, the experiments were in the last stage and the patients who had volunteered for the human trials were the ones who died in the fire.The whole lab was caught fire two times. First was minor, only laboratory was included, but the second time, it engulfed the whole building. Eve
“What the hell do you mean?” Leo Sun shouted at Chan.“I mean what I said. I told you I will settle the scores personally. So here I am, taking over your precious company. If you don’t know to behave, then I will snatch everything you have.” Chan replied arrogantly.“We had the deal with Lichen Consortium. Then why are you acting as if you own everything? I want to meet Neil Lichen this instant. We will talk about this with him.” Duo Sun said with determination. He was not ready to give up his rights on his company, just like that.Chan laughed and nodded his head, pitying on the foolishness of Duo and Leo Sun.“Can you take care of the rest, Mr. P?” Chan asked Mr. P, so that he could leave with Jina.Mr. P said, “Yes, Boss. You may leave now.”Chan nodded and took Jina’s hand and made his leave. On the way out, he paused to warn Leo, “Jina is my woman. If you dare touch her again, I will make sure that you aren’t alive for the next day. Take this as your last warning.”More than Leo,
By the time Jina woke up, Chan had already ordered breakfast for both of them. She sat up and saw Chan already dressed in his usual style and checking his laptop. He seemed busy. But under the morning sunlight, he had an irresistible charm. The way he occasionally picked up his coffee cup, noted something on his files and adjusted his sleeves, were really eye pleasing. Jina was lost in the scene she saw first after opening her eyes. Chan noticed Jina’s expression and smiled at her. That was remarkable. Jina had never seen Chan this pleasant or attractive before. She was awed by his smile with an opened mouth. “Are you still dreaming?” Chan asked while typing in something in his laptop. He was busy with his works, but was still meticulous about everything related to Jina. “No… Good morning…,” Jina said with an awkward smile. “Hm… morning, if you say so. But it’s already ten o’clock. I have work and you are coming with me. So hurry and get ready,” Chan replied without even raising h
Jina took three days leave and gave Merin and Siwan off for the same days. They also had worked really hard. To repeat experiments from its reports and getting the same results in such a short time was not an easy task at all. So she asked them to relax before starting the next set of experiments.Jina took half the day to clean the house, which had been pending for some time now. Chan was doing enough by maintaining it tidily, considering how a chairman of a business empire was already cooking for both of them after his job. So Jina did all her undone works and then packed her bag for the trip. Chan had said that he will come to pick up in the afternoon, so she waited for his arrival.As planned, Chan came to pick her up along with Mr. P. The three of them took Chan’s car and Tim Tim and another two guards followed in another. It was a five hour trip to the said town.Jina spend some time by watching how the landscapes changed. From tall gray buildings, green trees became more visibl
“What will happen to them, now?” Jina asked while tagging along Chan.“I told them that I am leaving, didn’t I? It’s not my problem anymore,” Chan replied Jina nonchalantly.Jina realized that sometimes Chan is a very unreasonable and petty person and nodded her head in agreement.As for Anaya and Leo, of course they couldn’t see Neil and had to return in disappointment and it repeated for a couple of days.Chan remembered what Leo had said about settling scores. Chan was actually occupied with their business and Jina, that he forgot about Leo’s case. Now that he made another issue, Chan wasn’t going to let him roam free.Chan called Mr. P to look into Leo Sun’s family business. Leo’s father Duo Sun was running a super market chain, in and out the Ochre city. Chan specifically told Mr. P to enquire about their present conditions and market stability. He had already decided on the safest and easiest way to teach him a lesson. Moreover, it will let everyone else know that the Lichen Con
Jina realized what Chan had said, only after reaching the cafeteria. By then Chan had pulled a chair for Jina and went to order two drinks and pastries. Every employee at the cafeteria was now looking at Jina in envy. Their boss had brought his wife for snacks and was going to eat with her. They realized the meaning of Anna’s words now - ‘Boss is sensitive to matters related to his wife.’When Jina looked around, she saw the envious admiration in other’s eyes and felt uncomfortable. On seeing Chan return with food, she said in a low voice, “Everyone is looking at us. Shall we leave?”Chan laughed lightly on hearing her. “Why? Are we doing something shameful here?” he asked in a teasing tone.“But… they…” Jina tried to make him realize what she was saying.“Sh… Don’t talk while eating. Have you never learnt any table manners?” Chan said as he kept his finger on her lips to stop her from complaining.Chan and Jina’s cute interactions were really heartbreaking for the female employees pr
