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

Chapter 53 - 53: You Are My Future

On the other side of the globe, Nathan went back to the room where he left.

"Seems like Master Bai had found a new toy to play with." The man with a blonde hair named Frederick said as soon as Nathan came in.

He was indeed handsome but faded when compared to Nathan.

However, Nathan never bothered paying him any attention.

"Stop it boys!" The door suddenly opened revealing a Senior man sitting in a wheelchair with his assistant pushing behind him.

"Sir!" They immediately stood up and made a salute as a form of respect to the new arrival.

However, the old man only focused his attention to one person.

"Nathaniel." He softly called.

"Yes Sir!" Nathan immediately walked towards him.

"All of you may leave. Except you Nathaniel."

Frederick snickered as he threw an indifferent look towards Nathan.

"I heard that you have found a woman you like?"

The old man spoke as soon as everyone left. However Nathan was silent.

Nathan was inwardly scolding himself. He should have been more careful. He got carried away with his feelings that he didn't take extra precautionary measures.

"Nathan, you must have already known of the consequences that comes with your decisions and actions."

"I'm well aware, Sir." Nathan bowed down his head and never dared to look at the man's face.

"You know your responsibilities as a member of this organization, right?"

"Yes Sir. Rest assured, I won't let my personal affairs to meddle with my responsibilities." He said with conviction.

"I see. This woman must be very amazing to make you come up with that decision. However Nathaniel, you know that we have a lot of enemies who are after our organization. Are you sure that she's not a spy?"

"She isn't Sir!" Nathan said though he himself was not sure.

"Are you certain?"

"Yes Sir," Nathan looked at the man straight in the eye this time.

"Then why are you acting like I am scolding you?" The man suddenly said which made Nathan to be taken aback.

"Eh?" He looked at him with a puzzled face.

"What? Are you expecting me to order you to break up with her?"

Nathan bobbed his head which made the old man to laugh hysterically.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Nathan was struck dumbfounded. He didn't expect to have this outcome in the end.

"As long as you don't reveal this identity to others, I think everything will be alright." He said after he had managed to calm down from laughing so hard.

The two chatted for a while before Nathan was dismissed.

Nathan was walking on the corridor when his phone buzzed. It was Aunt Lucy who sent him a message informing him of how Kim Eunji was doing.

Nathan placed his phone back to his pocket and then walked towards the venue where he'll meet a potential investor for NET International.

The meeting was brief since they didn't come with an agreement. As he walked out of the restaurant, his phone suddenly buzzed.

He smiled when he saw that it was Kim Eunji who sent him a message.

[I miss you.]

"I miss you, too." He replied. He then followed it up with this next message, "I love you my love...my life...Goodnight!!???"

Though he was happy and smiling like an idiot, he suddenly frowned when he realized that it was already late in Beijing.

[I love you, too.] Kim Eunji replied.

Nathan decided to call her as he felt like something was wrong.

"Can't sleep?" He immediately asked her as soon as the call connected.

Nathan heard a hoarse hum on the other line.

"Be good and don't do any stupid things while I am away. Don't tire yourself by doing such petty tasks. The servants are there to serve you as their Mistress." He felt the urge to remind her.

"I know. You too, don't lift something heavy. Your injury had not completely healed yet." Kim Eunji replied on the other side.

Nathan grinned like a kid when she expressed her concern for him.

"Aye! Aye my sweet wife!" He enthusiastically replied.

Though she already received the clearance to travel, it could not be denied that her wounds had not completely healed. Also, he's afraid that Kim Eunji might have another headache because of exhaustion.

"I miss you." Kim Eunji admitted on the other line.

'Awe...How I wish everyday will always be like this.'

"I miss you, too. But don't worry, I'll be back before you knew it." Nathan felt proud as he felt like Kim Eunji had become bold enough to express what she felt.

"I'll count on that then."

"Do you want me to sing a lullaby for you to sleep?" Nathan asked her after a moment of silence.

Kelly had told him about Kim Eunji's countless sleepless nights in the past. This was the reason why he never let her to sleep alone when he's around. Seems like his theory was right since Kim Eunji had peaceful nights ever since he started sleeping with her.

But this time, it was different. He was miles away from her. He hoped that him singing her a lullaby would make her have a good and peaceful sleep.

"No, you must be busy." Kim Eunji responded on the other line which made him snapped out of his thoughts.

"I'm not and even if I'm indeed busy, I will always make time for my wife." He sincerely said. But also he could not stop himself from thinking some naughty stuff in his head.

"Or we could do some naughty stuff before you sleep." Though he said it in a teasing tone, it was also half meant.

"Nathan!" Kim Eunji yelled on the other line.

Nathan chuckled as he found her reaction cute. He knew that she didn't like it but the devil side of him wanted to tease her.

"I know. That's why I'd prefer to sing a lullaby instead."

Nathan could hear Kim Eunji heaving a sigh of relief on the other line.

'My innocent wife.' He thought.

"Close your eyes." Nathan instructed and then he started singing.

He stopped singing when he could hear series of even breathing from the other line.

"Good night My Love. I hope you'll dream of me." How he wished he was there to hold her while she sleeps. He could still remember how soft she felt like when he was holding her in his embrace.

"Mmm." Kim Eunji moaned on the other line which made him chuckled in disbelief.

"Silly girl. Sleep well."

Nathan ended the call and walked towards his car.

***

Kim Eunji woke up the next morning with a heavy mood.

She had only slept a little last night because she had a bad dream which she could not even recall when she woke up.

It was safe to say she could not come back to sleep after that and had been restless and been tossing around under the covers.

She looked at the time and saw that it's still four in the morning. Kim Eunji then decided to get up and start her day with meditation. She had not done it for a while. It helped her calm her mind and be relaxed.

The next thing she did was to do some stretches. After that, she decided to take a shower to freshen up.

She then changed into her oversized shirt and shorts.

She let her hair loose and arranged her fringe neatly.

She also did not forget to change the dressings on her wounds. She thought could feel that in a days, she could start going back to her routine.

After making sure that she's okay, she took her laptop out of her bag and put on her reading glasses.

She then turned her laptop on, opened some tracking software and started to track that person's location.

If her method would not work, she would do plan B. Hacking.

Her slim fingers then started to dance on the keyboard keys at an astronomical speed. Her eyes were so focused and did not leave on the screen.

After some clicks, a smile plastered on her lips. She then folded her laptop and placed it on the bed. She also removed her spectacles on and tried to relax her eyes.

She suddenly recalled about her upcoming admission to college.

She had decided to not attend any college overseas.

She then inwardly sighed as she felt like she was on the same loop again.

She thought when she learned that Kelly got married, she could move freely as there would be no one nagging behind her back because of being worried about her.

She had to consider Nathan's feelings too now whenever she would make a decision.

She could still recall Nathan's face when she brought up the possibility of her studying abroad. There was a trace of reluctance on the man's face. As if he didn't want her to go.

And she was sure that he would do everything just to accommodate her. He might arrange his business operations to be held in the US temporarily just to be with her.

And she didn't want that to happen.

She had to explore other options.

She decided to get down to have her breakfast as it was already time.

The servants were all busy preparing the table for her breakfast.

Aunt Lucy greeted her the moment she reached the last step of the stairs.

"Good morning Mistress."

"Mm. Good morning Aunt Lucy, good morning every one." She greeted back.

"Did you have a good sleep last night Mistress?" Aunt Lucy asked as she drag a chair and let Kim Eunji to sit on it.

"I did." She lied. She didn't want them to worry. Especially Nathan.

"That's good to hear. Any appointments for today Mistress?"

"Mm. I have an appointment with the nutritionist today. I also plan to visit some schools today. And probably would visit my best friend later on."

"It sounds like a busy day for you Mistress." Aunt Lucy expressed.

"Indeed." Kim Eunji shortly replied.

"Would you like me to prepare and pack some smoothies for you Mistress. For you to have while you're out?" Aunt Lucy offered.

"That's very kind of you Lucy. I'll trouble you then." Kim Eunji did not hesitate to accept her offer. It would always be a trouble for her to dine out because of her food allergy. Though she had that drug that she could take whenever she accidentally or stubbornly ate something that could trigger her allergy, she should still be careful.

"It's my pleasure to serve you Mistress." Aunt Lucy smiled and then made her way towards the kitchen to prepare Kim Eunji's smoothie.

Kim Eunji finished her breakfast shortly after she had drank her milk.

She then went back upstairs to change her clothes.

She decided to check on the walk-in closet for the first time and she felt like an incoming head ache would be coming her way.

A lot of beautiful dresses were hanged and arranged accordingly. They were from famous and luxurious brands abroad.

She made a mental note to ask Alice to pack some of her clothes in Japan and had it shipped to China.

Kim Eunji then looked at the sun outside and she felt like the light was too much that it started to irritate her left eye.

She decided to wear her eye patch to prevent it from getting irritated even more.

Kim Eunji decided to wear her black denim jeans, white sleeveless shirt under her purple cardigan. She paired it with her white sneakers and her black Yves Saint Laurent or YSL bag. She then wore a brown beanie over her head.

She suddenly looked at the ring on her finger and remembered Nathan. She almost forgot to send him a message.

Before she could do, her phone suddenly rang. She frowned when she thought that it must have been late already in France but he was still up.

"Hello Missus Bai." Nathan said on the other line.

"Nathan," she softly spoke.

"How are you my wife?" He asked her.

"I'm fine now. Just going to head out. I have an appointment with the nutritionist that your friend had recommended."

"Is that so? Marie will accompany you there then."

"Who's Marie?" She asked him.

"She's Aunt Lucy's niece." Nathan explained. He knew that Kim Eunji was cautious.

"Do you have any other appointments for the day?"

"Yes. I was thinking of checking out the Universities near the area. I'm thinking of studying college here instead."

"Really?!" Kim Eunji could feel the excitement in Nathan's voice.

"But why? Yale or Harvard are the best choices. What changed?" He curiously asked. It must have been everyone's dream to be admitted into those top Universities abroad.

"Love...If you're doing this for me, please don't. Harvard or Yale is no joke. Your future would definitely look brighter if you'll earn a degree there."

"Mm... Nope. Master Bai, you're wrong. It's not about the school. It's about my performance in the end. And besides, how can I have the heart to leave my future behind...alone and lonely?"
