Drtt ... Drtt ..
The vibrating cell phone stopped Mi Sun's reverie from thinking about the incident at that time. She immediately took her cell phone from her pocket to see who was calling her.
Uncle Baek Hyeon
Mi Sun frowned, her uncle rarely called him. she immediately stepped away a little from the shooting location before picking up her phone.
"Hello uncle," said Mi Sun when she picked up the phone.
"Where's Ethan? Why isn't he answering the phone?!" Baek Hyeon asked without preamble.
"Ah… Ethan is currently shooting, uncle. What is it? Maybe Mi Sun can help convey it," replied Mi Sun.
Silence ...
"When he's finished, have him call back. As soon as possible," Baek Hyeon finally answered after a few seconds of silence.
"Alright uncle," replied Mi Sun, before the person on the other side hung up on her phone.
"You're here? Did the scene work? Or the newcomer messed up again?" asked Mi Sun when she returned to her place and found Ethan sitting in his chair earlier.
"Oh, noona, where have you been? Of course it worked. I've given it a few tips, of course it should work! We do it in one take!" said Ethan proudly. It was not in vain that he gave some tips and did the practice once again during break.
"This is her first debut, noona! Besides, I'm sure she can actually act, she's just a little nervous. Besides, noona knows what my personality is like. I will not be a sunbae who bullies his hoobae," said Ethan at that time when Mi Sun was about to forbid him from approaching the newcomer.

"Oh right, earlier uncle called me, he said you did not pick up the phone and told you to immediately call him," said Mi Sun explained.
"Papa? What could it be? Papa rarely calls me," said Ethan questioningly.
"You still don't have a scene to shoot, right? Go quickly call uncle, seems like that is really important," said Mi Sun, feeling that something was wrong.
"Not yet, I'm here to see the acting of the others. My phone is in the car. Please let me borrow yours noona," said Ethan stretching out his hand.
"You are really weird, most actors will rest in their waiting room. Well, at least you still have a private waiting room regardless of your role in this drama," Mi Sun sighed briefly.
"How many times have I told you not to leave your phone in the car!" said Mi Sun before handing over her cell phone. She was completely amazed that Ethan could not hold his cell phone when he didn't have a scene to shoot. Most actors or actresses, even if only for a while, will always hold their cell phone.
"Ei ~ Noona, this is my workplace. As a good worker, of course I can't play with my cell phone at work. After all, no one will contact me. Maybe if I have a lover or are close to someone, I will consider contacting her occasionally," said Ethan as he opened an application to contact his father who was abroad and walked towards the waiting room reserved for him.
International calls are very expensive! At least with the application, we can call people overseas at a fairly low cost, just use the internet quotas.
"Well, it's up to you. If you have the intention of having a girlfriend, go ahead, as long as it is not known by the company," said Mi Sun who followed Ethan.
"Okay, seriously! Noona will not be angry if I suddenly start dating," said Ethan happily. Not that he is currently close or dating someone, but who would have guessed when he would fall in love.
Mi Sun just nodded. She thought it was okay as long as Ethan wasn't caught.
"Hello, papa," Ethan said when the call had been picked up.
"Hello, Ethan, come home now! Mama had a heart attack earlier," Baek Hyeon said without preamble.
"What?! Then what is the current state of mama?!" asked Ethan, really worried. Even though his relationship with his mother was not very good, it was still that person who gave birth to him.
"At this time mama's condition is stable, but still not conscious, can you go home then ... become company interim CEO here?" Baek Hyeon asked, who paused for a moment, hesitating a little. He wasn't doubtful about Ethan's leadership, but doubted whether the man would accept the offer.
"I might be able to go home but to become an interim CEO ... it looks like it will be difficult, can't you be CEO of the company to replace mama?" Ethan asked back. Currently their company, NamTech, is indeed led by its mother, even so, her father, who is the founder of the company, has the second largest share, of course the first is his mother.
"What are you talking about?! Your mama is sick, then you asked me to lead the company?! Of course papa must accompany your mama!" Baek Hyeon snapped.
Ethan patted his forehead. How could he forget how much his father loved his mother, his father gave his shares to his mother so that his mother became the highest shareholder and became the leader of the company. It was solely because his mother wanted to lead the company.
"How about noona?" Ethan asked again, trying to find an alternative. With his current condition, it seems that it will be difficult to become CEO of the company.
"Elena still can't be contacted. Her secretary told me she is in Paris to launch the latest product of Wang's company. After all, you are currently the third highest shareholder, so you are a suitable candidate," Baek Hyeon explained.
"Hah?! Isn't noona's stock higher than mine?" Ethan asked, confused. As far as he remembers, he owns 17%, his noona owns 20%, his papa owns 25%, his mama owns 28%, and 10% is sold to the public.
"Elena sold 5% of her shares to buy your mama's share in Wang, it looks like your grandfather is starting to suppress her. So how? When will you come? Next Monday you have to show up at the office, okay!" said Baek Hyeon.
"But ... will the other boards of directors agree with this decision?" Ethan asked again, doing his best to find fault with so as not to become CEO of the company.
"If they don't agree then they are ready to give a resignation letter! From the very beginning it is a family company! Papa was ready to let go but your mama would rather lead NamTech than Wang. Papa knows you don't really like getting into business, Ethan. But at least you have the qualifications to become a interim CEO of NamTech, mama definitely don't like it if someone else is replacing her temporarily,"
Ethan sighed for a moment.
"Yes, but… can you bear the transportation money? My finances are not very good here," Ethan said bluntly.
Since the scandal at Colors and finally disbanded, his mother was furious and told him to study business to become the successor of their company. Ethan, who felt he didn't fit in there, of course was furious. Finally, the relationship between mother and child became a little apart.
Finally, with the persuasion of his father who will let him in the entertainment world, but he must build his own career, without financial support from his parents, and must not interfere with the privacy of his family. Ethan finally agreed to major in business. That is the reason why he had no news for 4 years and no one knew that he was actually the young master of the NamTech company.
"Alright, papa secretary will call you," said Baek Hyeon then closed the conversation.
Ethan could only sigh when he finished talking to his papa. With his current state, is it possible for him to return home? What's more, being the company's interim CEO?
Just thinking about that made Ethan sigh once again.
