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

Chapter 134 - 134: Life Song

Thursday came and it was a day before the ball. Everyone was so busy getting ready for tomorrow's party. They were so excited because it was said that the celebrities inside their school would be offering a presentation on the party.

Kim Eunji was now dressed with a coffee-brown-colored long-sleeved turtle neck crop top and a waist-line black colored lady trousers matched with her white rubber shoes and mocha trench coat. Her hair was tied in a messy bun. And now, she was inside the music room as she was about to practice on the grand piano.

She was so busy yesterday that she wasn't able to practice her piece. Well, the girls and Director Li really had fun filming her. And the filming continued even today.

"I never thought student Kim was interested in music as well." Director Li remarked.

"Well, no one asked." Kim Eunji shortly answered.

"My bad. Anyways, may I know what piece would you be playing?"

"An original." She shortly answered.

As soon as Kim Eunji sat in front of the grand piano, she felt another pang of headache coming. The pain was so unbearable that she had to close her eyes and inhaled deeply hoping that it would soon fade away.

With her eyes closed, her hand began to move. Her fingers were dancing gracefully on the keyboard but the pain was still there.

The piece she was playing was indeed an original.

It was the same song that she played back then when Nathan saw her playing in the piano back then.

The first part carried loneliness as she felt incomplete all this years. Director Li could feel himself crying because it was such a depressing song. A very heavy and heart breaking song. It was like the protagonist was stuck in the darkest part of hell. They could feel her loneliness in their hearts. Though it was heavy and depressing, it was also moving.

No one deserved to feel this lonely...There are so many people in the world, so one could never feel lonely, right?

But then, no matter how many friends you have outside,  at the end of the day when you come home and all alone inside your room, it was when you realize how lonely your soul was.

Everything in the surface would eventually pass by.

 Everyone would eventually leave no matter how strong their promise of forever was.

And this was what Kim Eunji felt when she first live with Nathan. But Nathan proved her wrong when he still accepted her despite knowing her background.

Her second verse was somehow lively as she felt his love and sincerity. This time, she was faintly smiling while playing.

Director Li could see a faint smile in her lips and her gloomy aura earlier became lighter.

The tempo was also fast and lively.

However, mid-way...she stopped.

Though surprised that she suddenly stopped from playing, everyone still gave her a round of applause.

"Wow! You're good!" Guo Xiaolan praised her.

"Thanks." She humbly responded not minding the recurring headache that she was having.

"Wow! That was insane!" Director Li gave his praise to Kim Eunji.

"Nah. It's still incomplete though." Kim Eunji said which made everyone to agree.

"Why don't you finish it?" This time, it was Angelina Luo who spoke. She was listening behind the door all this time. She only entered when everyone was already showering Kim Eunji praises.

"Mrs. Luo!" Everyone greeted Angelina the moment she walked-in.

"Hey everyone! I'm sorry if I interrupted your filming. It must be fun doing that!" Angelina humored.

"Nah! Not all. It's always hard to get used to the spotlight." Kim Eunji explained.

"Hahahha! It's the perks of marrying the hottest man in the country! I'm sure a lot of women would be heart-broken when they found out that the man is already taken." Angelina commented.

"You're right. But I know sooner or later, I have to get used to this. I can't just drag him into my lonely and boring world all the time. This is where he belongs. And as his wife, I should adjust to adapt in this kind of lifestyle." Kim Eunji said.

"Yeah. But seriously, let's go back to that piece that you just played. Why is it unfinished?"

"Well...it's hard to explain. I think that piece would only be complete when I breathe my last breath. It's like my life song." She shortly explained.

"Cool. I hope you'll finish it sooner. It would be a pity if you wouldn't. It's beautiful! You owe it for everyone to hear!" Angelina said.

"Don't worry. I know that. However, only one person had the rights to listen to it when it's finally complete."

"Of course! We always have that number one ultimate fan and inspiration." Angelina Luo described Nathan as Kim Eunji's inspiration.

"Anyways, are you going to play that tomorrow?" Angelina asked in curiosity.

"Nah. I think I'll play a cover song tomorrow. Though it's unrelated to our class I hope you would still give me a good mark. After all, I'm going solo."

"I never thought you're this competitive student Missus Bai."

"Well, I would never settle for less, Missus Lou."

"Hahahhahahah!" The two interrupted in laughter which shocked everyone.

"Well, it's not for me to decide. I'm not the judge. The students are." Angelina Luo passed the responsibility in giving their grades to the students.

"Oh!"

"But don't get the wrong idea. You can't use your charm to them. It's not allowed." Angelina Luo reminded her of the  criteria.

"Well, I think I would be receiving a failing grade then." Kim Eunji sounded upset this time.

"Why?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Because I can't control my charms." Kim Eunji shamelessly explained which made everyone to be speechless.

Iris who was standing on the corner felt like Kim Eunji had also adopted Nathan's shamelessness. You are what you eat.

Seeing their speechless reactions, Kim Eunji could not hold back her chuckle.

"Guys. I'm just joking okay. Hehe. If only you could see your priceless reactions in front of the mirror...never mind. Anyways, if all of you won't mind, I would like to be alone to really practice for my presentation tomorrow. It's not good to spoil you all."

Though reluctant to leave, Director Li decided to go. But before that, they gave Kim Eunji a cam recorder which would make her self-record everything. She could only give that to them tomorrow, a few hours before the party would start for editing.

When they were done, they left Iris, Alice and Kim Eunji in the room.

Iris insisted to stay as she's worried that Kim Eunji would suffer another headache. Alice begged to stay since she wanted to listen to Kim Eunji playing.

"Hey Alice." Kim Eunji called.

"Yes, EL?"

"Are you coming to the party tomorrow?" Kim Eunji asked her.

"I don't know. Maybe?"

"Woah! It's a first! You'd never say no to every party especially if it's with drinks!" Kim Eunji was surprised.

"Well. That was then. This is me now." Alice tried to explain while secretly glancing at Iris.

"Oh! What changed?" Kim Eunji asked.

"I just want to have a peaceful life now. And besides, the last time I got drunk, I destroyed a relationship. And hey EL, I think I'll be leaving Beijing after this filming was done." She explained.

"Why? And where are you going to go?" Kim Eunji was looking at Alice but on her peripheral vision she could see that Iris was having some complicated thoughts.

"Magnus would be moving to Beijing together with Claire."

"And then?"

"Then what?"

"I don't know Alice. You're the one who started this conversation. I don't know where this is going honestly." Kim Eunji was half-frustrated. She hated guessing games so much.

"I'm sorry." Alice apologized.

"Do you want to talk about this?" She offered.

"No. It's okay. I can handle."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Alice smiled as she wanted to show that everything was okay.

Though Alice was smiling towards her, she could feel that the smile was fake. Why? Because she used to wear that kind of smile in the past and she hated it.

"So, what song are you going to play?" Alice asked as she tried her best to change the topic.

"Well, Best Part by Daniel Caesar featuring H.E.R."

"That's acoustic right? Are you going to play a guitar?" Alice asked her.

"Yeah. Why not? I haven't played guitar for ages though."

"Then...why did you choose that?"

"For a change." Kim Eunji also shrugged her shoulder as she said that.

Alice and Iris watched Kim Eunji approaching the stand where the guitar was being kept in the room.

They watched and heard Kim Eunji playing the song like a pro.

"Woah! I think Master Bai would fall in love to you over and over again, EL!" Alice commented after Kim Eunji finished playing.

"How was it? I didn't play that bad right?" She nervously asked them. She was eager to hear for their feedbacks that's why she let them to stay around her.

"It's good Mistress. Even if there's no backing live vocals, the melody alone was moving." Iris supported Alice's remarks.

"Yeah. Ah! How romantic!!!" Alice's low spirit earlier lifted up all of a sudden.

"Stop it! I feel like heating up." Kim Eunji even removed her trousers to prove her point.

"Hahahhahahaah!! No wonder Master Bai was so fond of teasing you EL. You're so teasable." Alice joked.

"Teasable? Is that even a word?" Kim Eunji asked in amusement.

"I said it. Therefore, it exists now. Hahahahha."

"Silly." Kim Eunji could only shook her head when she heard Alice laughing. But deep down, she felt sorry for Alice.

Kim Eunji could feel that there's more underneath that laugh.

Then Alice's phone beeped interrupting the happy atmosphere.

Alice then fished her phone put from her pocket and her expression changed when she read the message in her phone.

Then her phone rang and she now had a troubled expression. "Excuse me girls. I have to answer this."

"Go ahead. We're about to leave anyways. We'll retreat to our rooms first." Kim Eunji did not hesitate to excuse her. It seemed important.

Iris and Kim Eunji watched as Alice left the room to answer the phone call.

Kim Eunji had also been receiving countless messages both from Nathan and J.

Nathan, though he was busy, he never failed to check on his wife every hour while also giving an update on what he was doing.

On the other hand, he was giving her an update on what was going on inside the Chen family overseas.

"J." Kim Eunji answered the moment J called her phone. She was now on her way back to the villa. Iris was following behind her.

"The Chen were making their move. According to our mole, Master Chen found out that Feng Chen was last seen alive inside Nathan's base. I think they're planning something big against us. Better be careful Eunji."

"Do you have any idea what they were planning to do?" Kim Eunji asked.

"Not yet. Our mole only had a limited movement inside." J explained the situation.

"Also, I've heard that all of you were going to have a party tomorrow. That's a big opportunity to strike. I'll send a few more agents to help with the security." He added.

"You're right. Don't worry, I know what to do. Anyways, I still have a lot of things to do." Kim Eunji reassured.

Kim Eunji then put down the phone and put it back on her pocket.

While walking, they saw Alice who was sitting on the park bench looking in the thin air.

Kim Eunji then nudge Iris' shoulder to ask her to accompany Alice for the meantime.

Kim Eunji would talk to Alice later to ask her what was going on.

She sighed when she saw Iris occupying the opposite end of the bench where Alice was sitting.

She decided to give the two the space to talk.

As she walked towards the dorm, Kim Eunji saw Ling Bao sitting alone in the bench holding a flask which Kim Eunji theorized to be alcohol.

The space was quite hidden. When Kim Eunji was near, Ling Bao unfortunately saw her and the latter immediately rushed towards her.

However, before he could even lay a finger to her, Kim Eunji flicked her thumb and index finger together and in a split-second, Ling Bao fell down.

Kim Eunji then looked up at a direction where the CCTV was hidden and she said, "Call someone to bring him to the infirmary."
