"As expected."
[Should we reveal her identity?]
"No. We will wait for the perfect time."
She dropped the call and looked at her wobbly reflection on the tea. Her skin is hanging loose and the top of her head has grey hairs. Hunching her back, the old woman folded her hands.
"All this time, you were hiding your daughter," she whispered, alone in her room. "But until the end, she can't escape your shadow." A sinister smile followed as her eyes seek for Celine's picture on the table.
Who is this old woman? For Celine's father, she is someone that he never saw but he resented for a long time; the person responsible for his wife's death.
The HongYoonChoi organization is not a playground. Everyone seeks power by killing and betraying. Celine's father was a
Third Person's POVIn China, people have beliefs that if a person displays his sad face while he's at the counter, then his business during that day won’t be productive. If there is only one Chinese customer in Celine's coffee shop, he might dash into the counter and might educate her to fix her expression right now.At the counter, the owner of the shop was pouting her lips. She kept on glancing at her phone as she waits for a certain person's message. No matter how hard she stared at it, she received none."At least, he should have informed me when he's going to visit," Celine sighed.A male customer walked towards the counter. The man is about 184cm height and has thin figures. He's wearing polka dots sleeveless top and ripped jeans partnered with metal skull belt. "Can I have a mango shake please? Large size," he ordered."Large size of mango shake," Celine repeated then typed his order on the computer. "What is your name? Sir?"
As the Wen's only heir has arrived home while in a deep sleep, two of the trio tend to his room and waited for Junhui to wake up. Meanwhile, Seungkwan was left alone with the guest, miss Celine. Right at the place when Yoon siblings and Junhui had a talk, Celine sat down across him and enjoyed the tea that was serve together with a cake. After taking a sip, Celine stared at the tea that is rich in fragnant. ‘This is good,’ she complimented inside her head. Unknown to her, the tea that was serve is called Da-Hong Pao Tea. At $1.2 million per kilogram, Da-Hong Pao Tea is the most expensive tea in the world. This variety has been declared a national treasure by the Chinese government and dates back to the Ming Dynasty.

Celine's POV My dream job is to stand in front of the camera as a reporter everyone respects of. But look at me, studying the books of "Ethics in handling a business" instead of preparing for my 4th entrance exam this year. "It feels like I suddenly changed my course into something I never imagined." Since that incident before that happened in front my eyes, I was convinced that I should study more about running a business for my coffee shop. Thus, before going back home, I bought books about beverages, coffee shop, handling staffs... Everything about running a business. One reason why I didn't think running one was because I couldn't afford to, even if I wanted to have. I was a poor girl who only thinks that luxury life is purely an imagination – a fiction.
Dim room, one lamp to lighten the space, soft bed and a sweet scent; it's been a long time since Jeonghan went in a hotel with a woman, too long everything seems to look foreign. The only difference right now versus then is they are both fully clothed above the bed. Unlike before, Jeonghan is just staring at the ceiling without any plan of stripping the dress of the woman beside him. "Honey, how long will you stare at the blank space?"She asked while swirling the tips of her finger around his shoulder."Didn't you bring me here to have fun?" 'Have fun?'Jeonghan flinched after hearing those words. He did have fun playing with women back in the old days. And so, he was thinking that sleeping with another woman tonight will help him forget what's bugging him all day.
Third Person’s POV Before Wonwoo could listen to the recording he set inside Celine’s room, Seungcheol caught him and threatened his life. It left Wonwoo no choice but to erase his recording copy. However, since the Jeon’s mansion is Wonwoo’s territory, he thought that Seungcheol is too dumb to think that he has no ways to get some intel. Joshua, Celine, Seungcheol and Minghao went inside Wonwoo’s room. And the owner? Well, he was excluded and was kicked out from his own turf. Wonwoo admitted that Joshua was too smart because he chose the young lord’s room. If there are bugs and cameras everywhere, Joshua probably guessed that Wonwoo will put less of surveillances in his own place; which is the truth. Unlike the other places in Jeon’s house, the young lord’s room has fewer cameras and bugs. ‘I really can't surpass his intelligence, geez,’ Wonwoo thought, admiring the new leader of HongYoon
While the only heir of Wen's organization was still sleeping due to anti-allergy medicine's effect, Seungkwan, Hoshi and Dokyeom were busy filling their hunger at the kitchen. They can ask maids to prepare it, but since they are still under Junhui's rage, they served themselves.It was all because of that bubblegum incident."It's your fault Seungkwan,"Hoshi, a type of person who won't forget any injustice he received even if a thousand years passed, complained to Seungkwan while munching pizza flavored chips. Beside him, a guilty man nodded his head."That's right,"Seungkwan agreed as he finished eating a yellow banana."Still, I'm glad we made it alive." "Now that you agreed voluntarily, I can't argue with you anymore,"Hoshi added while ro
Third Person's POV Unlike their first date, today's date will be different. Who thought that a Casanova like Jeonghan will get anxious with a woman? He planned all night: where they will eat, what to watch in the cinema and where they should play. However, he brought her somewhere in the city and walked together in the busy street without a certain destination. That's weird.He woke up early to choose his outfit and perfume. When he fetched her at Jeon's residence, he greeted her with a kiss on her cheek. He was so confident before! But now, this date is getting more and more awkward as the time passed by. They are indeed a fake couple, putting on a show just to hide her identi
When Celine opened the window of her eyes, she noticed the sudden change of her surroundings. As far as she remembered, this is not the place where she fell in her abyss, and instead, it was at the bench in the middle of the park. 'How did I end up sleeping inside the car?' As if she's solving the mystery by blinking swiftly, she sat straight with sharp breath. Then, an alluring voice filled the car. "You woke up?" Celine obliques her head to the driver's side where it came from. Brushing her eyes to wipe her blurry vision, she recognized that it is no other than today’s date partner, Yoon Jeonghan. "How much time has passed?" In her frantic state, it is the first question that she uttered. She couldn't believe she fell asleep in populous area but ended up in Jeonghan's car. "Don't you think it's better to askhow you ended up inside my car?" Jeonghan leaned his elbow on the windowsill as he grinned at her. However, his empty s
