Everyone hid, except the CEO of one of the great companies in the Imperial. Hansang Group's CEO, Hou Guanyu walked out his office after grabbing his coat and strode towards the elevator. He was in a hurry and his employee can see it clearly. Normally, he'd walk down slow and greet them but today seems different. His long time a.s.sistant Chu Jin and the new secretary Miss Yumi was behind him, both also wearing their professional look.

"Did you see CEO Hou? Do we have important visitors today?" one of the employees asked right after the elevator doors closed.

Those who were holding their breath suddenly sighed in relief. They thought it was the end of their career. As they were new there they thought that if the CEO becomes like that someone is ought to get kicked out. "I thought he was going to fire someone" they cried out.

The ones who had been there for a long time only shook their head. "If it were important visitors, CEO would normally be happy"

Her friend nodded her head in agreement. "Something must have happened back at their household"

A young woman in her 20s suddenly exclaimed "It must be terrible for the CEO to be like that"

There was silence at the older one's table. Instead of agreeing with her, they smiled and proceeded with their work. Sang Ran, one of the closest employee to the CEO shook her head at them. "He may seem stoic...but he's actually holding back his joy. This only means she's coming back"

The other employees gave her a confused look but Sang Ran had already returned to her office without even explaining anything in detail. She was such a cliff hanger, now everyone wants to find out who she's referring.

.....

Meanwhile, inside the elevator, an oblivious Chen Yuri stood behind CEO Hou. As his secretary she ought to know who he's meeting or if any visitors had suddenly showed up. She was supposed to be the one who gets their call first...but she received none that would warrant their CEO to take eager steps.

"Sir, the driver is waiting outside, shall I ask someone to wait outside the airport?" a.s.sistant Chu said and was ready to call someone.

But Guanyu suddenly spoke. "She wants her car, let someone drive it there and give it to her"

Now Yuri was much more confused. Did his daughter went abroad? That can't be, she fetched Young Lady Jei Li yesterday and Miss Chungsa went to make trouble again yesterday so she can't possibly be abroad. Besides, if she did go, the possibility of her returning right afterwards is only 5%. She's a spoiled little princess, she'd go shopping and touring first before she decides to return.

She wants to ask but she'd be admitting her shortcomings for not knowing whats going on. So she decided to just stand back and go with the flow.

"Are you not going there, sir? She's finally back in the country, shouldn't you be there to greet her?" Chu Jin asked boldly. Yuri however was not surprised.

In her short time, she had already noticed that the CEO does not treat Chu Jin as a mere a.s.sistant. Even if Chu Jin asks or say something that seems insulting to others, CEO Hou only acknowledges the insult and even thank him for the criticism. Perhaps its because he's been with him for a very long time...or his insults simply had sense.

Guanyu looked at Chu Jin and nodded his head. "I want to, but you know her well. Now that she has a job she'd focus on that first. Worse, she might kick me if I go there with all the cars and the guards"

This time, Yuri was more convince they weren't talking about Chungsa or Jei Li. If it was her she'd ask CEO Hou to bring all the cars he can get and all the men he can hire to show off her wealth. Jei Li is so young to have a job. So who are they talking about?

" I understand your predicament. The young miss is indeed a hard one to handle, but it would still work out fine if you went" Chu Jin answered with all honesty.

"I'll meet her when its time. That daughter of mine, she can do fine even without me around" their CEO answered with both disappointment and adoration. He does miss her, but what can he do? He had done a terrible job as his father forcing her to leave the country. If she ever does hold resentment, he'll feel so bad he might get sick. So he needs to fortify himself. Until he can accept his daughter's words, he'll delay their meeting.

Yuri fell into a complete thinking mode. Does the CEO have other daughters than Jei Li and Chungsa? Suddenly, she took an a.n.a.lyzing glance at their CEO. Such mighty man, the possibility of him having an illegitimate daughter is high. He might even have a lot of it.

Chu Jin took a glance at Yuri and noticed the slight change of her expression. He smiled, fully knowing what's running in her head.

A ting sound interrupted his staring as the elevator halted and opened up. Guanyu took the first step, followed by Chu Jin and Yuri. The men he had arranged greeted them and handed Chu Jin two pair of umbrella. Yuri took the one and Chu Jin had the big one.

Once outside, Chu Jin made sure not a single drop of water touched their CEO. "I'll be preparing the house for her, make sure you bring the things I asked you tonight" he told him and boarded the car.

"Well then, I'll be leaving. Call me if anything happens" he added and finally closed the window. Chu Jin and Yuri bowed down, each now holding their umbrella. The car drove at a high speed at Guanyu's command leaving the two under the rain.

Yuri looked at Chu Jin and opened her mouth. But she was too nervous that a word never came out. If she ask, isn't she stepping out of bounds. The matter is much personal that if she asks Chu Jin might lash out at her for being nosy.

"I know what you're going to ask. But ask anyway, I know its not a matter than can warrant your dismiss" he said and looked at her. Yuri nodded her head and gulped before looking at the empty road their CEO took.

"Does the CEO have an illegitimate daughter?"

Chu Jin sighed and shook his head. "He only have two daughters and have no illegitimate ones at all. You met Young Lady Jei Li already"

Yuri looked at him confused. But their CEO said 'that daughter of mine'. In shock, she looked at him. "Then he have a mistress, and he calls her daughter?"

This question took Chu Jin by surprise. He doesn't know if he was ought to laugh or bring her to a psychiatrist for thinking such a thing. Who would even dare call their mistress, daughter? Such question was idiotic but he does not blame her at all. She had only entered the company 3 months ago and she knew nothing like the others.

"Do you think Chungsa's att.i.tude is what a lady of the Hou would act...much more a daughter he took care and raised?" he asked and turned around.

Yuri ran behind him, still confused of the matter. "You mean she was adopted?"

"No. She's merely someone leeching off others wealth" he said and took a halt as he began thinking of Chungsa who was reining on the throne that wasn't hers.

Chungsa is not the real daughter. Chu Jin's question also implied she wasn't his illegitimate child. She's not adopted either. Which only means she's the daughter of his wife from another man. But why does he treat her like her own?

"How come no one knows of his real daughter? He hid her so the daughter of his wife can take her place?" that thought was so sinister. But is their CEO really that kind of man? Is he the kind of blind husband that he'd prefer the arrangements of his wife than the welfare of his daughter?

Chu Jin shook his head. "Its not like CEO is hiding her, they just didn't try to find out who the real daughter was" he said and got inside their company. Yuri followed behind with tons of questions still lingering her mind.

"Where is the real daughter now?" She was only asking it in her mind, but it slipped out. Honestly, she does not like Chungsa at all. She was a pampered brat and her att.i.tude towards employees may seem great but she's nothing but a loathsome person in mask. So she's curious where the real daughter is because perhaps she's a much better person. She'd want her around Hansang than the fake one.

Chu Jin went inside the elevator and Yuri not wanting to end the conversation followed suit. He does not want her to remain oblivious so he looked at her, a.n.a.lyzed her and thought she knows that the matter was not something she can spill out and interfere. Its probably okay to tell her. "She's at the airport and probably going to Yi Lan afterwards for her first day of work"

Yuri's eyes went wide. "The young lady is a doctor?" she asked which was only replied by a curt nod. Unbelievable. Becoming a doctor is hard work, much more working as one. She could just work at her father's company and spend money than earn. But she actually decided to leave and become a doctor which warrants a lot of time and effort. Its also very dangerous because it exposes her to sickness. An heiress like her actually chose that than plainly being wealthy.

"What happened to them? Why is CEO's daughter working like that?"

Chu Jin looked at her. "Its not appropriate to discuss about it at such a place. But...is working as a doctor bad?"

In an instant Yuri fell into a panic. She shook her head vigorously and gulped down. "No. I don't think so. Its just that...its a virtuous job...and I think I like her already for becoming one. I pay great respect to doctors"

He nodded his head and understood her. At first, he too did not believe she abandoned her studies on finance and worked her a.s.s out to become a doctor. However, he thinks she's much more charming now that she had become a doctor than a plain heiress who was bounded to Hansang.
