After a few hours father Lu arrived at the company. When he entered the office he wasn't that shocked seeing everything. He just sighed looking at his son's appearance.
Ruo Bei was leaning on his chair with his eyes closed. He had dark eye circles, messy hair, his clothes were wrinkled. He looked so unkempt.
"She won't like that face of yours once she comes back. You look haggard." Father Lu said while walking toward his son.
Ruo Bei opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at him. "Where is she?"
"I don't know." he shook his head. He really wanted to know too. While he was on his way here he had already called Choi Hyo Seok but that fellow didn't know anything either.
"But I do know that this time she's not going unless her work is done. She said that she'll be here for six months. There's still lot of time. She's just gone out for some work. She'll be back soon."
"Why didn't she tell me?" he complained.
"If she told you that she is going somewhere for a few days what would you have done? You would have sent your men to tail her."
"That's for her safety." he assured.
"No that's for keeping a track on her and making sure that she doesn't disappear again." Father Lu interjected.
"Ruo Bei I know that you don't want her to leave again but she has her own privacy. She has work that she can't tell others and that needs complete seclusion."
"And you know about it." he look at his father.
"Yes I know but I can't tell you either. Now stop sulking she can come back anytime and if she sees you like this she'll really run away from you." he pushed his son into his attached private room in the office.
After a while Ruo Bei came out with a new look. The CEO of Lu corporations. But his face still looked worn out with dark circles under his eyes.
Looking at his son Father Lu heavily sighed. 'Where are you princess?'
"I heard that you sent our men from black market to search for her. Ask them to stop. If our enemy gets a hint of this she'll be in danger. And you won't find her." he patted his son's shoulder and added
"Ruo Bei, if she doesn't want you to find her, you won't be able to even if you tear the sky or break the ground. No one can find her if she doesn't want to and you know that more that anyone. So stop searching for her."
"Yes father."
Father Lu went out. Assistant Kim came in.
"You called him." he wasn't asking but just stating the fact.
"I..I.."
"Tell the others to stop searching but inform me as soon as they find anything."
'What does that mean? On one hand you ask them to stop searching on the other you ask them to inform if they find anything.' assistant Kim thought but he couldn't voice out his frustration.
"Yes sir"
'Forget it atleast he looks better than before'

Natasha's plane landed but it was already midnight. It would take atleast two hours to reach home. It would be too late. She didn't want to disturb others sleep so she went with team to their hideout. She would go home in morning.
The next morning after eating breakfast she said farewell and headed home. As soon as her car reached home, the guards informed Ruo Bei about her arrival.
She didn't know what was going on. After entering the house she was welcomed by smiling face of Mini.
"Hey my boy" she rubbed his head and walked to her room.
On the other hand in Lu corporations. Ruo Bei didn't go home, he stayed in the company.
Baam
His office door was open with a thud. Assistant Kim came running in. Ruo Bei looked at him coldly but didn't say anything as he knew that it must be something urgent as his assistant never disrespect him.
"Young Master, Young miss...young miss she..." he was breathless due to running.
When Ruo Bei heard her name he sprang up from his seat. "What? what about her?"
"She.. she's back. Her car was seen entering Luna..." he stopped as his young master was not seen anywhere.
"Master?" he shouted but his young master was already on his way to meet her.
The 30 minutes journey was completed in 17 minutes. As soon as he reached he didn't care about closing the car door and just dashed to her house. This time he didn't ring bell either and ran in. He didn't see her in the living room so went upstairs to search in her room.
Natasha was sitting on her bed with her laptop she still had to complete the work she left before.
Baam
Her room door opened. "Jaan" he shouted.
Thud
"Ahh" as she was not ready for the sudden intrusion she jumped and fell on the ground along with the laptop.
She looked at him with wide eyes but his enlarged face came into view and strong arms embraced her. He hugged her tightly.
She felt his familiar presence. "Ru...ruo Bei I....I can't breathe." she tried to push him but his grip tightened the more she struggled.
"Where did you go? I thought you left again. I thought you'll never come back again. That day when you left and never came back even after night passed I thought something happened to you."
"I searched for you everywhere but you were nowhere to be found."
She suddenly stopped struggling when she heard his quivering voice and remembered his face a while ago. He looked tired, very tired. His dark circles were proof of it. He looked like he didn't sleep for few days. Her heart ached.
"I'm sorry. I didn't tell you first that I was going." She felt guilty when she remembered his worn out face and heavy breathing.
