Mason sat in the car dazed as he tries to recall what just happened. He was actually supposed to watch and pressure the person who was so skilled into joining his elite men, but after meeting his prospect, he doesn't know what to do next. He was awaken from his stupor when he heard his cell phone ring. He got so excited, he immediately answered, and to his dismay, it turned out to be his secretary. "WHAT IS IT?! MAKE SURE IT'S IMPORTANT OR I'LL MAKE YOUR HEAD ROLL!" Mason exclaimed as he was irritated that it wasn't Alec calling him. "I'm sorry Master Mason but the old Matriarch is summoning you to the main house, she said it's urgent and cannot be delayed any longer..." the secretary said. Even though Mason was reluctant, he did not want to make his grandmother more stressed because in return, she's going to rattle him and she won't stop til' she gets what she wants, the old matriarch likes to pass on problems and he doesn't want to go through the hassle of taking care of their failed plans. 'What does she want this time?' Mason thought to himself. Before hanging up Mason ordered his secretary "Secretary Woo, I want you to give me all the details you can find regarding Alec Kim ASAP. I want you to give me everything from her birth to the present, her likes and dislikes, even the smallest detail. Don't leave anything behind."l
Kaiser Villa
"Ugh! what a night! I'm so tired I feel like my body's going to break! I hope I don't get any bruise from all the fighting. I don't want my body to have any mark..." Alec said to herself while taking her clothes off and getting in the hot tub. After taking her relaxing bath she went inside her room and watched Netflix till she fell asleep.
Gwon Main House
Mason arrived at the main house at 12 midnight, and although it's already late, the old matriarch and his uncles waited for him. "Mason, I know you've been working hard and you've got lots of things on your plate, but I want you to prioritize the issue regarding Rothstein Clan. They're on the move and if we don't suppress them right away, it will cost us not just money but also the lives of people who depend on us. We need to find the mole that they have placed in our backyard. It stresses me out that our family is being threatened by that sly old fox. I want to find that mole and ensure the safety and peace within our family. Everyone is on edge because they feel like their every move is being watched..." Old Matriarch said, stress is very visible on her face. Mason gritted his teeth and said, "I already have an idea who that person is, don't stress yourself. Once it's confirmed, I'll make him experience hell tenfold. About Rothstein, I have a plan to make them fall. I'm just waiting for the right timing. Rothstein is an old clan, we can't be hasty in taking them down". After speaking, Mason did not even wait for the Old Matriarch's answer. He immediately turned around and went out, he doesn't want to stay in the Main house, he wants to get out of there immediately. So as soon as he's done telling them what they wanted to hear, he left. He doesn't like talking to his so-called family because they only care about him whenever they need him and whenever they are having problems in the clan. His uncles did not even bother hiding their sneers when he immediately left. They all felt like he is obliged to protect them and work for them, they do not care whatever happens to him as long as the clan and their lives are safe. "Such bothersome old people." Mason muttered as he went inside his car and closed his eyes.
Days have passed but still there's no message coming from Alec. Mason's atmosphere was getting scarier and scarier. Everyone's becoming more and more afraid as their CEO's mood progress like a typhoon. Secretary woo, being with Mason for a very long time, knew that something was amiss. "Master Mason it seems to me that something's bothering you..." Secretary Woo said while placing his coffee on the table. Mason did not answer him, instead he turned his swivel chair towards the window looking at the view. "I don't get it, why isn't she contacting me?" Mason said while staring at the beautiful sunset. He kept re-reading Alec Kim's files, but nothing states there what happened why she went to the US 5 years ago. "I don't understand why I'm so interested in you and why the hell aren't you contacting me." Mason said not masking his frustration. Hearing him, Secretary Woo said, "Maybe you're in love master Mason?". "I'm not quite sure yet, but if the love bug decided to bite me, I wouldn't mind if it's her." Mason said smiling as he thinks of Alec's smile.
