Chapter 4

“I am really sorry for doing it. I will not do it again.”

“Don’t say sorry young lady. Just don’t do it again young lady. You know how-“

“Yes, I know. Sorry. It is already dawn. Everyone please have a good rest.”

They all bowed at her. A maid went near her and gave her a glass of milk.

She stared at the milk. This probably has the pill. She doesn’t want to take too much medicines but Kim has a point for doing this. She drank the glass of milk in one shot.

Minutes later, she can feel the sleepiness drowning her.

“Good afternoon young lady.”

Ea just nodded. She slept for a long time again.

“What time is it?"

“It’s already past 4 pm, young lady.”

“I see. I have to prepare for the party.”

“Your dress is already in your dressing room.”

“Thank you.”

She immediately took a bath and eat enough food before the party since she doesn’t have time to eat breakfast and lunch.

“Mr. Lee, how are the venue and the party doing?”

“The venue is not that crowded young lady, don’t worry.”

“Good. It seems that they will pressure me again in marriage.”

“Seems like that young lady. By the way, we are near the venue.”

“Okay.”

Ea is with her secretary and they will attend the party organized by the board of directors and shareholders for her.

She looked up in the night sky. There are no stars and seems like it will rain so soon.

“Ahm, mr. Lee, how long the party will take?”

“I am not sure young lady but if you want to go home immediately, we can do it.”

“Okay. It seems like it will rain soon. I hope there is no thunderstorm.”

“Let me check the weather forecast.”

She just nodded and waits for her secretary’s update but not so long when they arrived in the venue, many people approached her car immediately.

“Let’s go young lady.”

She just nodded.

“Let us welcome our CEO, young lady Ea Luar Mizuki!”

The crowd’s applause and the welcome message from the MC got her attention. She was invited to give a short message on the stage.

“Good evening everyone, thank you for the warm welcome especially from my board of directors and shareholders. Much appreciated. Please enjoy the party they have made. Have a good evening to everyone again. Thank you.”

She gave the microphone to the MC again then went down the stage. Her secretary guided her to a solo table. She just had a glass of white wine in her hand. Many people approaching her to welcome her.

“My lady.”

She looked at the man in gray suit that approached her.

“Mr. Stroam, good evening. I didn’t know that you are here.”

“I just happen to have a business trip here. You look more beautiful than before.”

She chuckled.

“Kim will definitely curse you if she knew what you’ve said to me uncle.”

Mr. Stroam, Kim Stroam’s father laughed.

“That silly kid. She left me without saying anything.”

“I am sorry uncle. She’s with my sister, Yana for now. They wanted me to take a rest so yeah, she send me here.”

“Haha, I understand. Although we can’t see tiredness in your face, we all know how badly you need to rest, considering your condition.”

“Thank you uncle.”

“By the way, I’ll be heading to London tomorrow to meet your parents. I’ll tell this to them.”

“No need uncle, they will just worry more about me. Have a safe trip then.”

“Okay, okay. Thank you. I have to go now. I just came here to personally welcome you.”

“Thank you. Take care.”

When her uncle left, her company shareholders went to her with her sons and daughters.

“Good evening young lady, are you enjoying the night?”

“Ah, yes, thank you mr. Tan.”

“You are always welcome young lady, by the way let me introduce you my son, Julian Tan.”

She looked at the guy smiling at her.

“Good evening young lady, I am Julian Tan. Hope to keep in touch with you from now on.”

“Nice meeting you too.”

“This is my son, young lady. Xiao Chen from Chen empire.”

Said mrs. Chen.

“This is my daughter, she is the same age as you, young lady. This is Rose Jang.”

Said mrs. Jang.

“Good evening young lady, it is a pleasure to see you again for so long.”

Said mr. Wei.

“Good evening too mr. Wei, mrs. Hanayoshi.”

“Good evening young lady. I am sorry that our child is not here yet but I am sure they will come. My daughter’s name is Jean Hanayoshi.”

“My son is with her daughter, he is Ash Wei.”

“Ah, haha. No worries. Nice meeting you all my dearest shareholders.”

“Can I have a dance with you young lady?”

She looked at Julian Tan. She wants to refuse the offer but all of them are looking at them.

“Sure.”

They went in the middle of the venue and started to sway with the music. Her arms on Julian Tan’s neck while his hands are on her waist.

“You really look like a goddess.”

“That’s an overrated statement mr. Julian Tan.”

“No, I am just stating the truth.”

She just faked a smile, no one can really see if her smile is real or not. She’s been a master of faking her expressions.

“Can I have this chance now?”

They looked at Xiao Chen.

“Tss, sure.”

Julian Tan slowly gave her hands to Xiao Chen.

“Don’t be nervous young lady. I will not harm you neither let you hurt by anyone.”

She secretly winced. She really hates sweet words the most.

“Thank you then mr. Xiao Chen but I have so many body guards and a butler with me now to protect me.”

“Ah, hehehe. I see.”

She nodded. It seems like she offended the guy. But she can’t help it. She’s just saying what’s obvious.

“Ash, can you be a little gentle even for a while?”

Ash frowned.

“You are the one who forced me to go and wait for you. I already decline this party.”

“I am your girlfriend.”

“Who told you that? I don’t even know.”

“What the hell Ash?”

“What?! Faster! I have to rest already.”

“Tss.”

Ash declined his father’s order about this party but this girl has been pestering him for a day. He doesn’t have a choice but to go with her. In fact, they are already late.

“We are here madam.”

“Great. Mom, wants me to be friends with that young lady of Mizuki but I don’t think we can be friends.”

Ash didn’t mind what Jean is talking. He doesn’t even know who this young lady of Mizuki is.

They head directly to the venue and saw their parents.

“I thought you would not come.”

Mr. Wei said to him.

“This annoying girl has been pestering me for a long time.”

“Mind your words Ash, you’re disrespecting mrs. Hanayoshi.”

“Ah, haha. Don’t mind it mr. Wei. My daughter is at fault. It is good that both of you came but unfortunately, young lady excused herself for a while.”

“Hmpt! She acts so highly.”

“Jean! Mind your words! She is the young lady and the CEO of Mizuki family.”

“Mom, there are two of them. It is better to be friends with the younger one than her.”

“Jean Hanayoshi!”

“Fine, fine.”

“Good evening everyone.”

Their attention is now on the stage. The guy is holding a microphone and seems like will say an announcement. Ash doesn’t care about any of business matters so he excuses himself and went to the garden near the parking lot of the venue.

There he saw a familiar girl but the girl is wearing a beautiful gown this time. He smiled when he remembers that this girl is a fan of him. He cleared his throat to get her attention.

“It is not a good thing for a beautiful lady like you to stay outside alone.”

Ea looked at him with wide eyes.

“Ash Stavros.”

“Good evening young lady.”

“What are you doing here? Do you know me?”

Ash chuckled. Ea looks so baffled.

“I am a guest here. And yes, I know you.”

He can see happiness in her eyes.

“How come?”

“Remember when you arrived here? At the airport? The one who bumped on you? And the one you stay with on the mountain last night.”

Ea’s eyes grew wider.
