The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her
Chapter 360 - 358: Cheering Her Up"What's your plan now, Mistress?" Eagle suddenly asked Eunji making Iris to also be curious.
"Honestly, I don't know." She sadly said.
She had lost the sense of direction when Nathan left.
"I can't just go there and declare an open war with them to make all of these be over, right?"
"No! That's suicide, Mistress." Eagle strongly said.
"I agree to Eagle, EJ." Even Iris agreed to her.
"Right." Even she was mocking at herself.
"Hey EJ. Are you sure that you're fine? It's fine to take a break sometimes you know."
"That! That's not the best option right now. I left my children temporarily so I could focus on this. I have to finish this as soon as possible to make my family complete again."
Both Iris and Eagle felt bad for Eunji.
However, they knew that Eunji not only needed their sympathy but every help that they could offer to her.
"The whole KSA-Beijing is here to support you EJ. We will fight your enemies to death for you." Iris told her hoping for Eunji to feel better.
Eunji was the core of this agency. The reason why it was established from the very beginning.
Eunji stood up and then walked towards the window and she looked down on the vehicles below.
"Then, let's start with the man, Frederick Heart." She mumbled suddenly.
"What about him?" Iris asked.
"Because he has my sister Tiger. So, let's start with him." Eunji said coldly.
"Okay!" Both said in unison.
The atmosphere then shifted to master and subordinate relationship.
"I'll let our men gather more intel about him and who he was meeting secretly this past few days, Mistress." Iris said.
"Do that Tiger. Don't mind their cyber and digital activities, Alora can already handle with that." She told Iris.
"Also, I want to know the person who acquitted the Luo Brothers from their criminal charges. Gather as many dirt as you can find about the man or the group of people helping them. If there's any suspicious details that you find, look into it and at the same time inform me immediately."
Now's the time that she realized to rely on her other trusted people and not just do everything by herself or with Alora's help.
"Don't worry Mistress. I'll inform the other Country Director to gather informations that they could find, too." Iris understood the urgency and so she volunteered to take on the task.
"Do that after you make sure that KSA is clean from impurities." She reminded and then gave a glance to Eagle.
"Prepare your men. We'll be visiting someone tonight." She instructed Eagle and then continued looking down at the scenery below.
"Okay, Mistress. Me and my men will always be on standby for you." Eagle proudly said.
"That's good. I only trust a few people in my life. So I hope you won't betray me or let me down." She also didn't forget to remind them about loyalty.
The two immediately kneel down to declare their vow of loyalty.
"Mistress, I'd rather kill myself than betray you." Eagle swore.
"Mistress. I will never betray you. You're a very special friend to me and a very important person to me and my wife, Alice. I will never let someone exploit the relationship I have with you."
For some reason, Eunji felt relieved hearing that from them.
"Stand up. Remember this day and keep your vows with you."
The two obeyed her and then she looked at them in the eye.
"Fighting with me is very tiring. So if you have any second thoughts to continue, say it now. I'll accept your resignation."
"Nah. Consider this conversation done, Mistress. I will never resign. If there's any caution needed to be done for the safety of my wife and daughter, I'll do it. But I won't resign. I won't give up on family." Iris said.
"Though I don't have any remaining family members that relies on my back, I won't resign either, Mistress. Working with you is fun, you know. I like the thrill, the adrenaline which comes with the nature of my job." Eagle said.
"That's good to hear." At least Eunji smiled faintly after hearing that.
"Indeed. KSA is now my family. And just like shortie said, I won't abandon and leave my family behind just because it's tiring."
Seeing that Eunji's face turned gloomy all of a sudden, both Eagle and Iris became anxious immediately.
"Ahm...I'll go talk to my men outside so they could start getting ready." Eagle immediately excused himself out of the room.
Now, Iris was left alone with Eunji.
"I know you're busy with work, Iris. Don't mind about me here. I'll leave later."
"Oh." Since Eunji said not to mind her, Iris had no other choice but to continue with her task.
Eunji gaze happened to land on the family picture on Iris' desk.
"She's pretty." Eunji said after seeing little Vicky with a flower girl's dress sitting in between the happy Iris and Alice on their wedding dress.
The photo was taken during Iris and Alice's wedding.
"Thank you, EJ."
"She had all Alice's features. She's exactly a carbon copy of her mother." Eunji continued.
"Yup." Then Eunji heard Iris sighing while looking at the view outside.
"What's wrong?"
"It's about Magnus."
"What about him?"
"Well, he still wants to be a part my daughter's life even if he had already lost all of his legal rights."
"Oh. Well, for the years that I have known him, one word that I can describe him is his also stubborn." Eunji said as she walked to the sofa to sit down.
"Yeah. We did manage to put him in prison but he will be coming out this month. For some reason, he is given an early paroll.
Magnus seemed to regret everything he had done to the past. Especially how he tried to kidnap Vicky just so Alice would come with him.
And this happened when Iris was still recuperating from the injuries she suffered.
He regretted all of that.
"I see."
"You know Alice very well. How good-hearted my wife is especially now that she had become a mother to Vicky. Though she dared not to say it but I know she felt guilty seeing Vicky growing up without a father figure to look up to."
Iris then placed both of her palms on her face and continued, "I know our family's unique from everyone else. But I don't know. I feel like I'll be hurt knowing that Vicky will one day look for her dad. I just can't accept that EJ. I'm not ready."
This couple was also facing a family crisis at the moment, too.
"Look at you. Where's the confident Iris Tang that I know? Since when do you, a wild tiger become a powerless domesticated cat?" Eunji really tried her best to cheer on Iris.
"Geez! It's not funny, EJ." Eunji's joke was lame but still it had a good effect on Iris.
"Yes. But you're smiling, aren't you?"
She never wanted other people to be also sad like her.
If all sad people around the world will cry at the same time, then the world will surely be flooded with tears.
It's indeed true that Magnus lost his paternal rights to his daughter but Vicky had the rights to know about her father.
"Why don't you both try to talk this over. I know it's hard but be honest with Vicky. She's already two and she might start to be curious."
Of course, Eunji considered the fact that children never had the same development during their growing years.
"When she starts to ask for her dad, tell her about Magnus. Don't fill her negative things about him. It would be unfair for Vicky while growing up."
"If she wants to meet her dad, then accompany her in meeting him. Don't leave her alone with him if you still don't trust him."
But still, everything's not simple as it looked like especially when the adults would try to mess up things and made them complicated.
"Hey. I'm sure that with how much love you showered her, she will appreciate all the efforts you have given to her and love you even more. It doesn't mean that since she's starting to look for her father, she will learn to love him and started to forget about you."
It's not like that.
"As for Magnus. You don't have to forgive him just for Vicky's sake."
Iris remained silent while listening to Eunji.
"Of course, if you're still doubtful, you may consult a lawyer for this. They can guide you on the steps to do legally should Magnus stepped on the boundaries you placed between him and your family."
"Sigh. You're right." Iris finally said.
"Gosh. Thank you EJ."
"No probs." She said with a faint smile.
"I hope things will be fine on your side soon, too. I'm not used to looking at you this sad." Iris blurted out.
"Geez! I really wish to have a happy reunion with everyone but fate have other plans and now we're in this situation." Eunji mumbled to himself.
"I'm sorry about that." Iris didn't just sat there and gave Eunji a comforting hug instead.
"It's fine. I'll be okay. I have to be okay."
Seems like this would be her mantra until everything's over.
"Of course! The EJ that I know will never give up easily. That's why I looked up to you as my inspiration in becoming a better version of myself every day I wake up in the morning."
"Oh! I didn't know that."
"I don't know if you already know this but us the girls have been waiting for you all these time to come back to us. We miss you, EJ. Kelly, Alice, Me, Mom and Dad (Mo Jing-sheng's parents) and our friends in the University, we're all looking forward to be with you and exchange some laughter just like the old days."
"Sigh. Don't worry about us. Just do the things that you want to do. We will always be behind your back. The only wish we have from you is to not forget about us, too."
"I'm sorry. Iris, it's still not the time for me to rekindle with everyone." She apologized to Iris.
"It's fine. Hahaha. When things are finally over, let's have a vacation, yeah. Let's enjoy each other's company from morning till dawn."
"Yeah. I know a place. I vowed to come back there together with my whole family." She said while remembering Safe Haven.
"That's cool. Then at least we have a plan to look forward to, isn't it?"
Of course, everyone all hoped for a happy ending.
"Then, I should get back to work."
"That was smooth."
"Cheer up! Don't be sad. I can't imagine seeing Little Aoi and Midori's pouting face when you're like that." She then paused to sigh before she continued.
"I miss those kiddos."
"Me, too. All four of them. I miss my children."
A/N: Eunji is just so lucky to find an unbreakable connection with people who gave her an unconditional kind of friendship, family and sisterhood.
The type of bond that is very rare to find these days.
If you don't know how to distinguish and especially give importance to it, you'll lose it.
