Matthew Jeong was overjoyed.
He had only seen the online news the day before when Alianna sent it to him and he immediately flew to Esmea from Italy. When he arrived, he had to go home and was thrilled to see that Chairman Young sent him an invitation to Katherine's party. He tried to call her as soon as he landed but he couldn't reach her because Katherine had long used another phone number.
"You don't know how happy I am to know that you're alive. I have so many questions, Katherine. But I'm just so damn glad to see you…" he said. He hasn't let go of her yet.
Katherine was slightly teary-eyed but compared to a while ago, these were tears of joy. "I'm sorry I didn't recognize you, Matty. I feel so so terrible."
"It doesn't matter. When I first saw you at that party several months ago, I knew that it was impossible, but I have never forgotten about you, Kathy… never." He squeezed her even tighter.
