The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

[NATHAN'S POV on the Same day]

Nathan had just finished from the meeting he had with a potential investor inside QPRC building. The meeting went pretty good as the deal was signed quickly. It was still three in the afternoon and he was very eager to go to Imperial University to see his wife. He wondered how her day went so far.

Nathan entered the elevator with his people following behind him. He took his phone to constantly gave Kim Eunji an update of what he was doing for the entire day.

If someone who didn't know him and saw what he was doing, that person would easily judge the other party for being such a controlling girlfriend towards Nathan.

And that person would surely receive a beating from him for thinking about her girl- no! His wife that way.

Nathan was doing this because he didn't want Kim Eunji to be in such pain and horror again. His heart ached very much when he witnessed Kim Eunji confronting him the other day. He didn't want her to worry about him.

After he sent a message to her, he frowned and was a bit disappointed when there was any reply from her. Even a single hi or hello from her. Even an emoticon to lift up his spirit at least.

Marco and Tang Hao were closely walking behind him with at least eight guards closely protecting Nathan in every side when he got out of the elevator and walked towards the lobby.

The scene was very intimidating for an ordinary people however, the staff at QPRC were not at all intimidated as this scene would usually happen everyday.

Outside the building, ten guards were even waiting for them. One guard opened the door for Nathan the moment he saw the latter's silhouette.

Nathan walked out of the building and entered the backseat of his Bentley while Marco and Tang Hao took the driver's seat and passenger seat respectively.

Tang Hao was giving him a ran down of what would be his schedule for the rest of the week in concern to the Bai Corp. Marco had finished his part already.

Nathan was listening to him and he knew he had a busy week ahead.

He just hoped Kim Eunji would understand him. He made a mental note to spend this little time that they could share together meaningfully.

Good thing there's no business trip yet. If there is, he decided to send either one of them, depending on which company was concerned. He didn't want to leave Kim Eunji alone.

As he saw her smiling face on his mind, he could not help not to smile as well.

While they were on the way, Nathan's phone rang and he frowned when he saw Andrew Johnson's phone number on the screen.

He was contemplating whether he should answer the phone or not.

Their last conversation didn't end well and he had this nagging feeling that he was calling to him with regards to his shooting incident in the airport.

The news must have reached the old man just now. Nathan made sure to erase every trace of that incident as much as possible to not worry the old man.

Even if they had this misunderstanding, he still could not bear for him to be worried. He's like his father figure in his life after all.

On the third ring, Nathan decided to answer his phone.

Nathan did not spoke. So does the other party on the other line.

"If you have nothing to say. I'll hang up now." Nathan decided to speak first.

"Nathan...how are you? I've heard about what happened."

"Here. Alive and kicking. Those good for nothing didn't manage to kill me at least." Nathan said.

"You should have listened to me. I told you to marry the grand daughter of the ********* but you didn't listen to me. Now...you see what happened." Andrew still didn't give up on that idea.

"Stop! If you're going to call me just to keep questioning my decision...you better shut up. I'm not going to give up on my wife. Never!"

Nathan angrily hang up the call. He was very disappointed with his grand uncle.

Tang Hao and Marco could sense that their master was still angry because of that conversation.

"Drive me to the base first. I want to see the faces of those who wanted to kill me."

"As you wish Master!" Marco said.

When they arrived at the base, Nathan immediately went to the basement where those hired mercenaries to kill him were locked up and being tortured everyday.

As he walked closer, he could hear those deafening groaning and shouting from the men being tortured by his men.

"Did they already confess?" He asked.

"Master Boss!" His men stopped what they were doing and rushed forward to greet him.

"Not yet, Master!"

Nathan knew that the mastermind behind the attacks were members of the Johnson family. However, he could not just point his fingers without any valid proof.

Nathan looked at those mercenary and he was in deep thought.

These men could endure physical torture but could they endure another type of torture.

"Don't let them sleep for a week. If they close their eyes, make sure you'll pour them cold water to wake them up. If their body collapse because they can't endure it, let the doctor treat them and start the torture all over again. They don't have families that we could use against them. Don't let them die. Let them suffer. If one of them died, remove their organs and donate it to the hospitals. That way, at least they became useful with the society."

"Okay Master Boss!" His men answered.

Nathan stayed there for a while as he gave them more instructions. Since majority of his men were also present, he held a meeting with them to address the issue of his security and the people important to him. He also asked his IT and Building Security Programmers team to upgrade the security in the buildings that he owned.

If his suspicion was right, someone was backing them up as they won't go bold and offend him on broad daylight.

He didn't want to be complacent. Eunji was right, his team of security had more rooms to improve.

So, it' better to be careful especially now that he received Mother Mei's call earlier informing him that Grandma Sana would be continuing her treatment in Mo Hospital in a month. Seems like Kim Eunji's master was indeed excellent in his job. Now, he couldn't wait to say this news to Kim Eunji. He knew his wife would be happy to know about this. Also, in a month, she would be allowed to go home and stay in the mansion on weekends.

Satisfied with everything that he had discussed so far, Nathan turn around and walked out of the building.

"Where to next Master." Marco asked him.

"To the flower shop. I want to buy flowers for my wife." He instructed and Marco started the engine of the car and drove off to the best flower shop in town.

Nathan was about to open the door as he planned to get out of the car but Tang Hao suddenly spoke interrupting him from doing so.

"Master, do you want me to do it for you instead?" Tang Hao asked this question as often times in the past, he would do this petty task for Nathan. He would also personally deliver the flowers to the ladies whom the flowers were intended for.

"No need. This is for my wife. Therefore, I want to do it myself." Nathan straightforwardly told him.

Nathan then immediately got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the flower shop.

Marco and Tang Hao also immediately followed after him.

As soon as Nathan entered, he was welcomed by the sweet and fresh fragrances of the flowers inside the shop.

"Good afternoon young man! Are you looking for flowers for your girlfriend?" The shopkeeper who was a middle-aged lady greeted him on the front desk. She was arranging flowers into a bouquet when Nathan came in.

"It's for my wife. I did something wrong and I wanted to say sorry to her." Nathan didn't beat around the bush.

"Okay. Do you have the right flower in mind?" She asked which made Nathan to be silent.

'Should I gave her red roses?' Nathan asked himself.

Seeing the clueless look in his face, the shopkeeper decided to help the poor customer.

"Alright! I have the perfect flower to give to your wife. I'll be back!" With that, she left towards the back of the shop were she saw storing hundreds of flowers.

Nathan waited for her and heaved a sigh when he saw her silhouette coming.

"Here. Purple hyacinth." The woman then arranged it into a bouquet and handed it to Nathan.

"Here. Give this to your wife. This flower also means you're really sorry for what you've done and is asking for a sincere apology." She stated in a-matter-of-factly tone.

"Alright. Thank you!" Upon hearing what the flower represents, Nathan's mood lightened up.

"No problem young man. I could see your sincerity. Your wife is really lucky to have you."

The shopkeeper was sincere with her compliment to Nathan. As she saw his aura earlier, she could tell that he's someone with a great background and could easily judged by others as one of the playboys or f*ckboys in town. However, as she saw the sincerity and sadness in his eyes, she could tell that he's not who she thought he was.

Also, a man like him coming in her shop to personally buy flowers for his lover was very rare. He could ask one of those men behind him to do it...but he didn't.

"No Aunty, I'm lucky to find and marry such an amazing woman like my wife, Eunji." Nathan then showed a sincere smile to her which made the latter to smile back.

"Alright! Go and coax your wife. Or else you'd sleep on the sofa tonight!" The shopkeeper didn't hold back and tease Nathan.

A thought then came to Nathan, "Aunty, why is it always in the sofa?"

"Why? Do you want to sleep on the cold floor?" She savagely asked him back.

Nathan "-...-"

The shopkeeper giggled when she saw Nathan's reaction.

"Go! Don't make your wife wait." Her words snapped Nathan back from his stupor.

Nathan then bid his goodbye to her. He liked Aunty already.

Nathan let Marco to settle the bills for him as he walked out of the shop and entered his car. He carefully placed the flower in his lap as he thought of how Kim Eunji would react when he gave this to her. He hoped Kim Eunji would accept his apology.

Not long after, Marco and Tang Hao followed him inside the car.

"To Imperial University."

The drive took almost an hour going to Imperial University because of traffic.

When he arrived, it was almost eight in the evening. He wondered if Kim Eunji had already eaten dinner. But he knew her class would end at seven and the entire University classes would end at eight.

Nathan decided to dismiss Tang Hao and Marco early and gave the two the time to rest.

Tang Hao was driven back to his place by the security car accompanying them earlier. While Marco also went to the SG Quarters where most pf Nathan's security men were staying together with the school's security force.

Of course, there were still few of his security team hiding incognitto to secretly protect their Master Boss in the dark.

This is so to not scare the ordinary students (scholars) away.

Seeing a group of men wearing black suits and shades would always be a terrifying scene for someone who's not used to this scene everyday.

While Nathan decided to wait for her in their villa so that they could have dinner together in the restaurant that he booked earlier.

While walking towards the building where his villa was, Nathan heard a three students talking about something.

He didn't want to eavesdrop but he couldn't help it.

"Did you know?"

"What?"

"I've heard some rumors that Lady Jin was being taken away by her family last Friday?"

"What? Is it true?"

"Yes." She confirmed.

"No wonder I haven't seen her in class today. Is she going to quit studying? OMG! Is she and Young Master Ling Bao going to have a secret wedding?"

"Why?" Her friend asked.

"Well, Young Master Ling's was MIA too after his confrontation with Master Bai. I still couldn't believe they were brothers. I'm sure the whole Beijing would be shock to now this shocking fact."

"Yeah, unfortunately, Master Bai let us signed a non-disclosure agreement. But it's a good thing. At least, there's a reminder that we should not interfere in their drama."

"Yeah right. It's so interesting to know that a drama was currently being filmed her but the school itself was having a real life drama unfolding right before our eyes! And the best part is that we're in the front seat to witness it! It's so amazing. Witnessing our goddess Kim's love story with Master Bai! Oh my gosh! I couldn't stop my heart from melting."

"Yeah right. Anyways I've heard some rumors that the reason why Lady Jin was taken away was because she hired the thugs to hurt Goddess Kim."

"What? Is she for real?!"

"Wow!"

"Wait. Is this verified? I mean...I don't want listen to mere rumors."

"Verified! I even saw the police last Friday taking those thugs away."

"The incident happened last Friday? How come we're not informed about this?"

"We're not the people involved. I believe it was Goddess Kim's request as well. Only a few people know."

"Well, the school director had did a good job to not let this topic to spread or else this would be a huge blow for the school."

"Yeah."

"She went overboard this time. Is she this overly obsessed with Young Master Ling?"

"I don't know. Good thing Iris came to the rescue and beat all those thugs."

"Oh! No wonder I've seen a little bit of bandage on her shoulder when I happened to bump into her."

"She's so amazing! Wow! I'm Iris' fan now!"

"Sigh. Good thing the thugs didn't manage to hurt our Goddess Kim or else, I would really be sad."

"Who wanted to hurt my wife?!" Nathan who only managed to hear the last part couldn't control himself and interrupted their talk.

The trio subconsciously turn their heads and saw Nathan's terrifying aura which made them shuddered in fear.

"Answer me! Who wanted to hurt my wife!" He asked them one more time.

"Jin Li Rong!" Was all the trio could manage to say.
