Chapter 20: Angry Kitten
Kim Eunji had no choice but to voluntarily come with Nathan. She had no other choice, she didn't want to provoke the man anymore as she's afraid that she'll owe him more in the process.
Tang Hao and Marco Peterson could feel the suffocating pressure inside the helicopter. Though this two seldom met, they both agreed that the aura emitted from the two people seated in the back could make someone weak. They both prayed that they'll arrive safe and sound and won't experience any disaster at all.
"Are they both even for real?" Marco mumbled.
Though this was happening in the background, the pilot remained calm and composed. Thanks to him, the flight went smooth.
It was already four in the afternoon when they arrived at Beijing. Tang Hao and Marco Peterson drove the two to QPRC.
As soon as she arrived, Tiger was already waiting at the entrance of the resort.
Kim Eunji immediately alighted from the car and was about to close the door but she suddenly halted as she recalled that his jacket was still wrapped around her waist. She immediately removed it and tossed it inside the car.
"*Bang!" A deafening sound echoed as she forcefully closed the door.
Nathan who was still sitting inside the car did not get angry at all.
Kim Eunji was so frustrated. She felt the need to talk to Kelly but she was so angry. Kim Eunji's afraid that she'll snap at her. She didn't want something to happen to Kelly especially that her pregnancy was sensitive.
Nathan followed behind her and meaningfully looked at Kim Eunji who was still mad.
No one could tell what was on his mind at the moment.
"Miss Kim, we'll be leaving at exactly 5:30 PM. I don't tolerate tardiness." Nathan reminded her.
"I know." She coldly replied but did not look back at him.
"Mistress!" Tiger greeted her.
"Let's go. I don't have much time left." Kim Eunji uttered.
The guards immediately opened the door as soon as they saw her coming. The staff at the lobby immediately bowed down their heads as they greeted her. They didn't want to experience what their former Manager Jiang and the other two security guards had experienced.
But still gazes full of curiosity from the guest followed Kim Eunji until she entered the VIP lift with Tiger.
As they entered her suite, Butler David was already waiting inside her suite. Of course they were given special access by Eunji beforehand.
"Is there any food Butler David?" Kim Eunji immediately asked. She's starving! This was also one of the reasons why she was in a bad mood.
"Yes Mistress. It's in the kitchen. I'll let the Chef preheat it for you." But Kim Eunji could not wait any second.
"No need. I don't have much time. Let them serve it." For Kim Eunji, as long as it's edible, she'll eat it.
"As you please, Mistress."
"Do you know how to do hair and make-up Tiger?" Kim Eunji suddenly asked while they were walking towards the kitchen.
"A bit." Tiger truthfully answered.
"Good." Kim Eunji did not say anything else.
"..." Tiger was speechless.
The Chef immediately served Kim Eunji's food. She immediately dug in not minding that there were people watching her. She had a dish of Crispy Sesame Tofu and Broccoli and Chow Mein.
After she was stuffed, she was in a bit pleasant mood.
The doorbell chimed and the box containing her outfit for the night had arrived. She forgot it earlier inside Nathan's car.
Kim Eunji went towards the bathroom as soon as she entered her room.
She felt the need to have a hot bath to relax her tensed muscles and also to freshen her mind.
As soon as the water turned cold, she went out of the tub and wrapped her naked body with the bathrobe and went outside.
Tiger who had been waiting inside Kim Eunji's room while the latter was in the bathroom stood up to greet her.
"Mistress..." Tiger's voice trailed off in awe the moment she saw Kim Eunji wearing only a bathrobe. She then turn around as she knew it was impolite to see Kim Eunji in that look.
Kim Eunji chuckled as soon as she saw Tiger's reaction.
"Come. I need your help in wearing that dress." Kim Eunji beckoned for Tiger to come beside her.
The dress Denise gave her was a simple yet elegant peach knee length off-shoulder lace dress that hugged hers slim yet toned and well-proportioned body.
It was originally a long gown but since Kim Eunji asked her if she could turn it into a knee-length dress rather than a gown, Denise had no other choice but to agree. Nathan didn't mention what kind of dinner party they would be attending. Since he simply said dinner party, she didn't want to overdress nor underdress and be the center of mocking and humiliation. She felt like choosing this direction would be perfect.
Though she could choose to wear a qipao, Kim Eunji decided not to since she had not fully adapt in her identity as half-Chinese.
As an artist, she wanted to understood the culture first before she wear something that had a symbol or that purely represents that culture. She didn't know if it's right or impolite for her to do but that's how she showed respect and appreciation towards it.
She didn't want to be called a Chinese lady just because she's wearing an elegant qipao at an event but was ignorant of what the patterns or embroideries in the dress represents. She knew how proud Chinese people were when it comes to their rich culture and tradition. Therefore, she didn't want to disrespect them by doing something half-assed.
After she put on the dress, Kim Eunji let Tiger to help her with her make-up. Tiger did not apply much on Kim Eunji's face. Just a few skin care product, moisturizer, a bit of blush on, etc.
Since her eyelashes were already long and thick, Tiger didn't add any mascara. Tiger only added a little bit of liquid eyeliner from her middle eye going outwards.
Kim Eunji then chose to wear a red lipstick that made her look expensive. The whole get-up looked expensive honestly.
Kim Eunji's hair was tied in a messy bun which left a few stray hair in her face which made her look even more alluring with that dress.
She let Tiger to open her wardrobe to check if there was any shoes in them that she could wear.
To her surprise, her wardrobe was already full of clothes and a full rack of shoes could be seen on the shelf near the entrance.
"Chief had ordered me to buy all of these yesterday." Tiger tried to explain.
"Oh..." Kim Eunji's voice faded as soon as she remembered that person.
Kim Eunji chose a black 3-inch high heeled shoes.
"Mistress, are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Tiger asked her.
"I'm sure." Kim Eunji shortly answered.
"So better just stay here or go somewhere else while I'm away. There might be a possibility that we'll (Nathan and her) be flying back to Sanya after the event." Kim Eunji explained.
Tiger was worried that Kim Eunji will be bullied in that event. She could not afford for that to happen that's why she wanted to come along as her bodyguard this time.
Especially when she learned that their Mistress will be going with the infamous Nathan Bai.
"As you wish Mistress. But please do call me immediately when something was suspicious." Tiger reminded her.
"I will." Kim Eunji replied as she got her Chanel bag and walked towards the direction of the door.
The moment Kim Eunji opened the door, she was stunned to see a handsome Nathan, who was wearing a black suit and tie with white long-sleeved shirt under it about to press the doorbell button.
Actually, they were both speechless to see each other so handsome and beautiful.
"Like what you see?" Nathan asked as soon as he regained his composure.
Upon hearing that, Kim Eunji snapped back to reality.
"See? Where? I can't see anything that would gain my interest." Kim Eunji said as she deliberately ignored Nathan whose face became sullen the moment he heard Kim Eunji.
"Don't start Miss Kim." He warned.
