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

"What?! What do you mean by no more!"

"EJ, calm down." Iris comforted on the other line.

How could she calm down when it's J whom they're talking about?

"You can't just tell me to calm down that easily, Iris. You know how important J to me is."

"Yes, we know. That's why we want you to calm down, okay? For the sake of your health, calm down." It was Alice who coax her this time.

"J's not in the car when the divers found it. There's a great possibility that he had escaped before it sunk down on the bed. However, there were traces of blood in the water."

"Right! We suspected that because of the impact, he got injured which caused the bleeding. Don't worry, we're searching the area so we could find him and give him the help he'd need." Iris finished for her wife.

"What if his pursuers got him first? What if we came late?" Eunji told them of that possibility which they could never marked it with red from the possible scenarios.

"Check on the CCTV on the bridge."

"We're working on it. However, our IT told us that the CCTV was hacked and a thirty minute clip of video recording was lost."

"That's bull shit! Give it to me. I'll recover it myself!" Eunji was furious. How could this happen?

She then apologized for cursing at the couple who were only doing their best despite and just like her, were worried of J's situation. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine. We understand you, EJ. We want to save J so badly. After all, that man might be a pain in the ass sometimes but we love him, too. He's a great man." Iris sincerely told her.

"We'll find him, okay? We won't stop. The important thing now is to take care of yourself while you're in there. We're expecting for a big show."

"Silly. There's no big show. Please keep me posted. I'll make sure to make the person responsible for it to pay."

"We will!"

After the call ended, Eunji focused her attention to the cctv footage that their IT had sent to her.

"Alora, kindly monitor your Appa's condition while he's in Toby's hand. It's easy for you to hack on their system, right? I'll give you another task later on if there's any. For now, your Appa's safety is our most priority."

For now, she needed to busy Toby with other things so he would not come and see Nathan. She could swap the guards guarding him with their people. However, she could not just bring another body to pose as Nathan instead.

She widened her eyes in realization. Seriously. Why did she not think about it beforehand?

She then focused her attention to the tablet. She frowned when she saw the clip on the CCTV. It was really cut and so she decided to retrieve the deleted files somewhere else.

It took her two hours to find that clip.

She was already covered in sweat yet she didn't stop. She had instructed the people guarding outside to not disturb her even if a war had broke out outside.

When she finally saw the missing clip, her gaze darkened. She was really right when she thought that someone was probably chasing after Jin Jie and had put him in a tough situation where in he had no other choice but to do it.

No person would hit a bridge's railing and let his car fell on the water below. The distance from the bridge and the water below was already enough to kill a person. The current down there was also chaotic that no boat had decided to cross under the bridge.

She then tried to zoom in the footage and she thought she could recognize them. They were a part of Su Ying's private army whom she thought had disbanded ages ago.

She also saw how they tried to search on the waters but they immediately left the crime scene when the police came.

All Eunji could think now is to pray for Jin Jie's safety. She was hoping that J would survive this. If not, she'd really be devastated.

She then gave them the footage and broadcasted to the senior agents who could hear her, "I want you to track down their headquarters. When you find them, kill them all."

"Mistress, we should be cautious. We don't know how capable they are. We need to plan this. After all, if your suspicion is right, they must have known that you're dead." Iris raised her concern.

"Tiger, I'm giving you the job for that. If we can't eliminate them outright, let's start with their branches."

"You are right. They might be alarmed if they'd find out about it. However, J had been a senior of KSA. And he had been managing you guys for years. So it's understandable if you'd try to avenge his disappearance."

Iris felt like having a headache upon listening to her. Of course, as the current director, she should maintain the orderliness inside the agency. And also, won't let anyone related to the organization to be left out.

"Alright, Mistress! I'll handle the rest."

A message then popped up on her screen and it's from Sophie. [Eomma, cheer up! I had a dream last night and it shows you're sad. Don't be Eomma. Sophie will always be here for you. I won't leave you. I love you.]

Eunji's heart melted while reading it. She wanted to give them a quick call.

"Eomma!" Sophie's sweet voice echoed from the other line.

"Hello, baby! Have you been good?"

"Yes, Eomma. However, Oppas have been very naughty lately. Grandma's having a hard time watching over them. But me and little Eve, we're fine. We've been pretty behave."

"Really? Why are your brothers being naughty lately?" Eunji was suddenly concerned by her two boys' behavior.

"Midori Oppa said he misses you and Appa and he wishes for the both of you to come back." Sophie answered honestly making Eunji to be guilty.

"Do you want me to call them, Eomma? They're outside playing hide and seek."

"Why don't you join them? Hide and seek is fun." Eunji suddenly became curious. As what she remembered, Sophie was fond of this game.

"Hide and seek is fun. However, I'm not in the mood to play today."

"Why baby? Are you sick? You don't sound good as well."

"I'm fine Eomma. I'm just really bothered by that dream." Just then, she heard her sneezing.

"Oh no baby! Did you catch a cold?" Eunji suddenly became worried and at the same time, inwardly cursed herself for not so aware of every changes on her daughter's voice. She should have known better.

"I'm sorry, Eomma." Sophie said weakly. She was no longer hiding the fact that she's not feeling well.

"Don't be baby. I'm sorry that Eomma's not there to take good care of you. Don't call your siblings. Just stay on your bed and rest. Drink plenty of fluids, okay?"

"No, Eomma. Don't be sorry. Grandma Layla and Grandma Mei, Aunt Angelina and Auntie Mom have been taking good care of me. Actually, I didn't ask Oppas and little Eve to come near me or they might get infected. I'm afraid it'll worry you more when the four of us get sick."

"You're right, baby. Eomma will be very worried if all of you get sick." She might drop everything and hurried to come back home.

In fact, she wanted to go back to check on her. However, knowing that she's no longer alone and she could rely on the elders at home, she felt a little relieved.

"How long have you been sick?"

"It's my second day. I'm getting better, Eomma. I still have a little fever and just a little cough. I'm sorry, Eomma. I made you worry."

"Oh no! Don't be baby. You're not at fault. Do have plenty of rest and listen to your grandmas and Aunties, okay?"

"I will Eomma. I really wish for you and Appa to come back." Eunji felt like being stabbed in the chest while listening to her daughter.

"But I know you're still busy doing something and it's for our own good. So, I'll patiently wait for you, Eomma. Actually, Oppa Li Jun and Li Wei are worried just like me. They wanted to help but they knew they can't. After all, we're still young to interfere with the life of the adults."

Eunji was really surprised to hear her eldest daughter talking to her like that despite the fact that they're so young to understand how things works in this complex world.

"Yes, baby. The world of the adults are so complicated that us adults should make sure for children like you to be protected by the viciousness of the human hearts."

"Eomma, what's viciousness?"

"Just forget about it darling. You'll know about it in the future. For now, I hope you'll religiously drink the medicine that they'd make you drink. I know you don't like them but it'll help you in recovering."

"Oh? I am drinking them Eomma even if it tastes bad. I don't want you to be worried about me, Eomma. So I'm being a big girl, now." This daughter of her never failed to amaze her every time.

"Thank you sweetie. I love you." Just then, she heard some commotion outside and she knew it's now the time to end the call.

"Eomma has to go now, baby." Eunji sadly said.

"That's too fast! Please call often, Eomma. I really miss your voice." Eunji could tell that Sophie was upset and was really reluctant to end the call.

"I will baby. I'll try, okay? After all, I really miss you all. Especially you, my baby."

"Okay, Eomma. Whenever you're sad, just give me a ring and I'll be here to listen, Eomma."

"I hope the next time I call, you'll be fine. No more fever, cough and cold, okay?"

"Okay, Eomma. I'll be more careful with my health."

As a mother, she should be there by their side and make sure that all of her children are always in good health. Yet, she failed it again.

After the call, she sent Layla a quick message. [Eomma, I called Sophie and I just found out that she's sick. I'm sorry, Eomma. I failed as a mother.]

Seconds later, Eunji heard a response. [Eunji! Thank goodness you're fine! Yes, Sophi contracted a flu. She has been a good girl so it's not a handful to take care of her. And besides, she's my granddaughter. I'll never get tired of taking good care of her.]

[Don't worry about the kids. We got you covered. However, I'm worried about you. I heard you got injured. Darling, please take care of your health. I'm not there to take care of you.]

[I'm fine, Eomma. Thank you for everything. I won't let something bad to happen to me, Eomma. That will be the last time.]

Meanwhile in the grandstand, the first game was about to end.
