"Is this your little sister's?"
Naomi rushed out of the car and ran towards the bushes where Enrico was standing there hunched over with one hand looking for something in the bush and showing it to her.
Naomi nodded. It was Clara's cell phone. She took the phone from Enrico and pressed the power button, and it turned on!
Naomi looked around. This is a quiet area towards the hilly area on the outskirts of Seoul. A quiet place with lots of big trees dominates, and the bushes on the side of the road are like the place where Clara's cell phone was found.
How could this phone fall here?
"Looks like this phone was thrown away on purpose. Seeing this bush right near the road it's possible that this phone was thrown away when they were on the way."
Enrico brought up the possibilities that were running through his head, which indirectly answered the question she had previously thought about.
"Clara isn't there, there's also no traffic C
Naomi took a deep breath and then said again, "I don't know. What I do know is that Ga Eun is my father's stepdaughter, because Mrs. Min Soon Hee brought with her two children when she was legally married to my father. But seeing the father who loves Ga Eun so much, more than Hyun Woo, even more than me, and Clara who is his biological daughter. Sometimes I think, Ga Eun was my father's son with Min Soon Hee before he went to college in Spain." Naomi leaned against the car, she looked at Enrico and said again, "As long as Clara and I stayed at their family home after mom died, Hyun Woo had a special interest in Clara. At first, he was very caring and always defended Clara when his mother and older sister bullied us. At first, he was so nice, but over time it all turned into an obsession. Hyun Woo is obsessed with Clara, even had holding and hiding Clara to himself when Clara rejected his feelings. Enrico finally understood where Naomi was talking. "Were you had going
"My Lord," said Lou respectfully. Lou gets there after Enrico calls him and asks him to follow him to where Enrico and Naomi are now. "How did it go, is Lee Hyun Woo at his house?" Lou straightened up and said, "I paid a woman to pretend to be his college friend and come over to his house." Enrico stared at him impatiently. "Then?" "Lee Hyun Woo went to college since morning and hasn't come back yet, My Lord." Enrico asked again, "What about Hyun Woo's cell phone number? Has the number been traced?" "His cell number is off so we're having a hard time tracking her down." Enrico cursed softly. Then he said, "Keep monitoring because sooner or later he will definitely turn on his cellphone, also monitor his house because he will definitely come home. Get people to track down Hyun Woo's whereabouts as soon as possible." "Yes, My Lord." Enrico handed Lou his car keys. "Alright, we're going home." His g
Naomi rubbed her face and leaned her head against the back of the sofa. It's been almost four hours and Clara's whereabouts still haven't come to light. Right now she, Enrico, Lou, and several bodyguards were at Naomi's house. Because Enrico's apartment is further away and Naomi's house is much closer to where Clara's cell phone was found, Enrico decides that he will wait for the latest news about Clara at her house. Naomi turned as Enrico took her palm and rubbed the back of her hand gently. "Clara will be fine." Naomi's lost in a daydream. Enrico Leonard ... the man is confusing. Enrico is a perfectionist and arrogant bastard, but in some situations - like now for example - she seems to see Enrico in a different version. She feel the warmth spreading to her heart, calming her inner goddess who was screaming in frustration at being so worried about Clara. Not long after that Lou suddenly moved to hold the earpiece that never left his right ea
Clara's body would almost completely pop out of the window if Hyun Woo hadn't pulled her arm back into the bedroom. "You can never get away from me, Clara! Not to Germany, nowhere!" Hyun Woo hissed sharply after successfully pulling Clara back into the bedroom. "You're crazy!" Clara screams hysterically when Hyun Woo drags her out of the bedroom and pushes her into another bedroom in the house. "Don't test me, Clara." Hyun Woo tightened his grip on Clara's hand. "You'll never know how I held myself back. Nor can you imagine what I could do if I lost control." Clara grimaced at the long cut on her arm from the shards of glass, in addition to the pain in her chest that had begun to recur. Hyun Woo's gaze fell on Clara's injured arm, he cursed softly and then got up from his place. "I'll make sure you never run away again!" he said as he grabbed the door handle. "I'll get a first aid kit for your wound." Clara couldn't help but cr
Naomi waited anxiously in front of the ER room where Clara was being treated inside. There was a wound running along her arm, and her heart disease reacted again. Earlier, after slapping Hyun Woo in the face, they searched the house and found Clara in a worrying condition. Clara was immediately rushed to the hospital for first aid. It wasn't long before Liam came out of the ER room. "Liam, how is Clara?" Naomi asked with a worried face. "Naomi, what exactly happened?" "How is Clara doing?" Naomi repeated her question, choosing to ignore the sentence Liam had asked earlier. "Luckily the wound on her arm is not too deep, so no further treatment is needed. As for his heart, his condition is now stable because he received timely treatment." "How grateful I am." Naomi breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned as Liam pulled Naomi's shoulder to face him. Liam looked deep into those amber eyes. "Nao, what really happened to Clara? Yo
"Sorry I couldn't accompany you to the hospital. There's important business Lou can't handle." Naomi smiled a little. One hand holding a cell phone to her ear, the other hand holding a pen, about to sign Clara's administrative file. "It's okay, I can handle it." "You better make sure you don't get nostalgic about your ex-boyfriend who is a doctor, remember you can't back down again now." "I know," Naomi said as she tidied up the file she had signed and then handed it back to the hospital admissions staff. "You calm down, love is no longer my priority now." "Well, you better not break my trust. Uhm, by the way ..."Enrico's words were cut off when she had a short talk with the staff, then thanked him and left the place. "Pardon?" Naomi said because had interrupted earlier. "Baby, are you sure about your decision to send Hyun Woo to prison?"Naomi gripped her phone tightly. Enrico again questions her decision to send Hyun Woo to pr
Lee Jong In and his wife, Min Soon Hee, walked hurriedly to Clara's treatment room. Earlier he got a call from the police station that Hyun Woo was arrested by the police, and named a suspect in the case of kidnapping and holding Clara. They had previously gone to the police station to confirm and released Hyun Woo on bail. But apparently, he couldn't, Hyun Woo was arrested at the scene, so he couldn't dodge anymore. Min Soon Hee told her husband that yesterday she met Naomi at a five-star hotel restaurant. She said it seemed like the man Naomi met at the restaurant was in a close relationship with her, and he wasn't just a random person. From this story, Lee Jong In can also conclude that Hyun Woo will difficult to get out of prison because there is someone influential behind Naomi. Lee Jong In started to get angry, if the law doesn't dare to act, it means that someone has a big influence. He opened the door to Clara's infirmary roughly and f
REVISION STAGE--- "He's got someone influential behind him." Lee Jong In who was sitting in the back seat of the passenger turned to his wife and said, "You keep saying the same thing." "I'm seriously!" Min Soon Hee who was sitting next to him put on a frustrated face. "I'm sure it was that man behind Naomi that even the police didn't dare to do much to help us." "That means nothing." Lee Jong In refuses to believe that now Naomi is getting dangerous. "He won't be able to do anything." "Mwo?!" Min Soon Hee laughed bitterly, her husband was still relaxed even though danger was in sight. "You know what he said to me that time?! He asked me to be ready, and said I had to take good care of my assets because he would come to reclaim them one day. I'm sure everything he said wasn't just bullshit." "Now we have to focus on Hyun Woo first. We have to get him out of prison as soon as possible and silence the police so that this c
Ga Eun arrives in front of her eternal enemy, Naomi. "You bitch! How dare you come here and mess around here," Ga Eun said then grabbed the coffee on the tray her assistant had brought and splashed it on Naomi's shirt. Naomi reflexively stood up while wiping the front of her shirt which was wet with coffee due to Ga Eun's actions. Naomi's gaze turned cold. "You've exhausted my stock of patience, Ga Eun." "You're the one causing trouble here, Naomi!" Lee Jong In already raised his palm, about to throw a slap at Naomi. Then, someone came along in the midst of the increasingly heated situation. "Looks like I just missed a show." Lee Jong In's hand stopped in midair and everyone turned their heads towards the door in unison. Enrico enters the room in a gray suit with Lou behind him who appears to be carrying a briefcase with a pile of files. Ga Eun suddenly turned around while swallowing hard saliva. Unlucky! Her spontaneou
Naomi straightened her formal clothes for a moment before finally getting out of the car. She walked with a pounding heart rhythm because it was undeniable that it took great strength to attend today's board of directors meeting. It will never be easy to face Lee Jong In alone even though the old man is her own father. So that's why she was desperate to make a deal with Enrico Leonard to be his sex partner because only Enrico can help her face her father. Armed with a file detailing the data of the people who entered the board of directors of shareholders that she got from Enrico, Naomi was able to enter the office building without having to be evicted at the entrance. "Tsk! This must be Ga Eun's doing," she mumbled softly as he entered the elevator with the two bodyguards Enrico ordered to guard her while the man hadn't arrived. Naomi was absolutely sure, her name was on the blacklist of the security team at the entrance on Lee Ga Eun's orders. She m
Naomi is finally back in Enrico's luxury penthouse in Hannam-Dong. She only brought one suitcase containing only important items, which was currently being carried by one of the bodyguards who had come to pick her up. Her footsteps suddenly stopped when she saw the man suddenly stop, for a moment Enrico's eyes swept around and then looked back, at Lou who now seemed to have stopped and stood obediently behind them. "Have you prepared the bedroom yet?" he asked his assistant. Lou bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, My Lord. The Walk-In Closet has also been rearranged and added clothes and all the necessities for Miss Lee." "Good." "E-Enrico, you don't have to ..." Naomi was about to speak but the man seemed reluctant to listen. The man again continued his steps until he entered the super-majestic bedroom that would be occupied by the two of them. When he turned around again, the woman was already standing behind him with an uncom
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Enrico was on his way to the mall where Naomi was shopping as soon as it was five in the afternoon. His work hours were over, his work in the office was almost done, some of which he had brought to work later after the launch party was over.A few hours after Naomi called, Lou suddenly called her, then reported that Naomi was involved in an argument at her jewelry store with Lee Ga Eun.Lou even recorded and sent the video to him. He even had time to hear in the argument Naomi said that she would ask her man to come.Enrico didn't know why, but it seemed to trigger him. He got up from his seat, then grabbed his coat draped on the back of the chair and packed his things.When he reached the lobby, he remembered something and called Lou."Make sure there are no visitors other than Naomi and Lee Ga Eun in the shop. Either way, kick them out and close the
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Naomi smirked slightly when she saw the store manager talking on a pillar a few meters away from the shop entrance, appearing to be talking to someone. Even though Naomi couldn't see his face, she knew that it was Lou who was talking to the manager.Lou seemed to have cleared up the customers when he heard he was going to ask Enrico to come. Even though they are just partners in bed, they are not really in a romantic relationship, things will be complicated if the public finds out about their togetherness.Ga Eun also didn't seem to notice, seeing her face that looked shocked when she saw that the surroundings were empty. It seemed that he was too curious to be busy hearing Naomi calling his man, making him unaware that the manager and shop assistant had closed the jewelry shop."Tell me, in whose name is the black card?!" Ga Eun impatiently aske
-REVISION STAGE-It seems that Ga Eun doesn't care about it all. He provokes Naomi even more, Ga Eun always wants to humiliate Naomi wherever they meet."Oh, I heard that you are a rich man's mistress. No wonder you can shop for all kinds of branded things." Ga Eun flashed her devilish smile. Then, he looked around, at the customers who came to the shop, it was getting busier in the afternoon. "Don't you know her? She's Naomi Lee, our proud figure skating athlete. Don't you know that this woman has an affair with one of her club sponsors?"This time, Ga Eun managed to provoke him. Unlucky! People are now starting to whisper about it.He looked at the waiter behind the display case with an angry face. "Do you want to take care of the transaction or not? I can look at another store.""Okay, miss. I'll-"Ga Eun quickly interrupted. "Hey! I told you I'd buy it. Don't you know who I am? I'm closely related to Enrico Le
-REVISION STAGE-Ga Eun is shopping to beautify her appearance at tonight's party. As his father ordered, he had to get Enrico's attention and pull him to his bed.He was sure that Enrico was actually just holding back for the sake of his ego as a high-class man who shouldn't be too easily swayed by women.While walking around, his gaze stopped at a jewelry store with a sign with a famous Korean brand on it.Ah, doesn't that brand belong to the jewelry company of Enrico's late grandfather who will be throwing his newest product launch party tonight? Holding a luxurious party because the product launched this time in collaboration with an international fashion brand from Italy.Yes, Enrico is indeed a very great businessman. So naturally, apart from saving their company from falling into Enrico's hands, his father was so obsessed with making him his son-in-law, because his work in the business world could not be underestimated.
-Revision stage-It seems that Naomi used Enrico's black card well, as seen from the many shopping bags with various well-known brands that Lou brought, so the bald-headed man looked so overwhelmed.Naomi stopped walking then, Lou behind her reflexively stopped his steps."I told you, I can do it myself. Look, you're in so much trouble."Naomi continued to grumble. He doesn't like company, it's awkward. But Lou insists on accompanying him, because Enrico has given orders for him to accompany and look after Naomi while shopping.At first she did not intend to spend a lot, because she is not the type of woman who likes to shop and she will only buy what she needs. But instead of making Lou give up because he was tired and bored from being invited to go around the mall for hours, the man instead recommended various shops so that Naomi would shop more. In fact, Naomi herself was tired after a long day of shopping and going through every s
