Muchen swiftly raised his head and closed his laptop, he didn't realize his swift response was awkward till the end of his reaction.
"Speak," he said in his usual thick masculine voice, he was unsure of what to expect, he knew Chae Won wouldn't appear In Front of him if it wasn't urgent.
"She just lost her job... He said as he hesitated a little before speaking up.
The look Muchen had given him showed that he knew there was more to the story and that he really wouldn't come all the way to say she lost her job
" What...I meant to say is that she was sacked for stealing an art piece which was found in her locker" he said stuttering a little.
Muchen looked at him as if he was trying to sort and analyze the information that just hit his ears, he hadn't known her for a long time but he knew a lot about her, he wouldn't have allowed his plans of a surrogate mother to fall through if she didn't meet his expectations, she could never.
"Okay" he simply said
"Okay... Would you like me to do anything about this"
Yes drop groceries and drop some cash with it at her doorstep and I need you to investigate thoroughly the real culprit behind this, who did the setup and why
"Why would anyone target her?" he had no clue.
"I'll handle the rest"
he added after a brief moment of silence.
For some reason, he cared more for this girl which was unusual.
Chae Won was surprised but he was careful not to express his surprise, Big boss is going to go out of his way to look out for a mere waitress, each of his actions proved to Chae won that he was interested in this waitress, it wasn't just business
"If there is nothing else I'll take my leave now"
He managed to say as he bowed again and made his way through the door.
Muchen, opened his laptop to continue what he was doing, he was carefully examining the company's accounts. He closed the laptop in frustration as he could not concentrate, he couldn't get Eun Ha off his head,
"what is wrong with me ?"
He needed to do something about it.
***
Eun Ha sat in the small bed at the corner of her room, thinking about all that happened she couldn't get her mind off if, she opened her laptop to distract herself a little, she needed to find a new Job her belly was already protruding, she couldn't take up just any Job, she needed something that wouldn't stress her so much.
Her eyes met with the trending news on the web, CEO Li Muchen of Li corporations has just signed a contract to reconstruct the capital's road, he had even given a brief comment in the press conference and a short video was attached to the write-up.
She was going to just scroll pass as her head had instructed, but her heart had betrayed her and she quickly clicked on the video, he was putting on a great coloured suit and a black tie looking handsome as ever, she knew she had felt something for him from the very first day they met but she knew she could never measure up, he had made it clear that it was just business and nothing else and deep down she knew, perhaps she felt him giving her groceries anonymously must mean something but she quickly discarded the thought
"Aigo! Eun Ha... You're dumb, you just lost your job, your family is in debt and the best you could do is droll over a man that wouldn't take a second look at you. The CEO and boss of one of the most influential families in City A" she said to herself.
She was frustrated but she didn't want anything to get to her.
She repeated her mantra out loudly
"you're strong you're beautiful, you're powerful"
She went into her bathroom to take a shower, she wished the water could wash away her pains and troubles, she wanted a normal life but she couldn't get that.
She was exhausted, sometimes she felt like giving up but she had so many people depending on her, she could afford to be relaxed.
She slid herself into her short black coloured nightie and strolled onto the kitchen with an attempt of poling for something to eat, she discovered she was out of milk, cheese, eggs, butter, oil, she hadn't even realised. She was eating so much.
She never expected carry on a child to be this difficult, she felt she might explode one day if she didn't control her eating, besides she wouldn't be able to maintain that lifestyle
She stared at her belly and rubbed it slightly
"Mummy won't be able to give you all you want at the moment but mummy will make sure you have all you need"
