Chereads / Mysterious Destiny of Us / Chapter 22 - Grim Reaper of the Song Empire

Chapter 22 - Grim Reaper of the Song Empire

At the other end of the Imperial City,

Gon entered the main mansion after completing his work. His face was way scarier today. The guards shivered by his extra cold face. He went to Master Song's study room. He knocked and when he heard his answer, he went in.

Master Song looked at his aloof face and felt something has happened. He asked, "What's up with that cold face of yours? I thought you might be happy, your dear Miss has joined our company today. Are you perhaps angry on me that I forbid you to meet her?"

Master Song knew that this was not the real reason behind his cold face, he was waiting for his answer.

Gon said, "Master, our Miss has been followed by someone…" while saying this, along with getting angry, he was getting a bit scared. He remembered the lifeless body on his lap, the thing he didn't want to see the most.

"What?" Master Song shouted. Things have already started happening and he didn't know what to do and from where to start. "Who was behind it? What are they planning to do with my little dumpling? Tell me!" Master Song started panicking.

Gon said, "I have assigned a guard for our Miss, he found out that someone was following our Miss but he couldn't find the identity of that person. That person followed her only till she reached her home and vanished suddenly. Master, if you may permit, I will follow her personally as of now."

Master Song said, "Yes of course. Also, transfer your sundry office work to our other secretary. You should focus on this matter first." Gon felt defeated and said, "Master, this is all my fault. I couldn't remember major things that happened at that time. Can you tell me where our Young master is working? I need to meet him as soon as possible."

Master Song said, "He only has his looks, everything else is different about him now. Still, I will tell you. His name is Wang Lufan, he is currently working as a Doctor in the Life Hospital in Imperial City. Just meet him as my secretary, it will seem more genuine; although it will not be as awkward as your encounter with your Miss," while saying, a small smile appeared on his face.

Gon widened his eyes when he heard that his Young master has finally become a doctor this time!

Master Song caught that and asked, "What happened?"

Gon shook his head and said, "Nothing, I will start working and meet him as soon as possible, sleep well" he bowed and was about to leave when Master Song said, "Ahh one more thing, I don't have any meetings this weekend right?"

When Gon nodded, he continued, "My nephew in this life came from abroad a couple of days ago, he seemed to be very dear to me. I am the only close relative of him and his brother since they both lost their parents a few years ago. I will be meeting him this weekend. His little brother is trying to enter the underworld, so tell someone to look after him. I will discuss with both of them this weekend." Gon nodded, bowed and left.

Master Song also continued his work. He then remembered about his nephews and took out the photo frame he had in his drawer. Looking at the picture of five people; his brother and sister-in-law, their two kids, and him, he involuntarily teared up.

Suddenly, the face of the elder nephew caught his attention, he thought about something, "Why he seems familiar?... Ohh, isn't he…" he got surprised by his realization and smiled, another familiar face!

Just in the blink of an eye, the alarm rang.

Su Yeon woke up and thought, "It's morning already? But I didn't sleep enough!" She remembered that she set an alarm for jogging. She got down from her bed, freshened up, wore her tracksuit and went for jogging.

Today she didn't see that tall boy whom she mistook as brother Fan. She jogged for a while and later took a walk to energize herself.

She went home, took a bath and then started getting ready. Meanwhile, she turned on the internet to check her social media and some news.

Ding!

It was a message from Kim Jin. He had sent it just when she turned off the internet of her phone at night.

Kim Jin: Asleep?

Su Yeon replied to him now.

Su Yeon: Morninggg! What happened?

She continued getting ready. She went out to have breakfast and everything went as usual.

She later got message from Kim Jin saying "Nothing, just wanted to talk." She was in the bus so she messaged him again, "Is everything ok? Anything serious?" and waited for his reply. Soon, she got reply saying, "Umm… no nothing." She didn't pay much attention and continued listening to music.

As usual, few days went well. Day by day her work was getting more difficult but still it was becoming a thrilling experience for her. In these days she and Ye Jin became more close. They used to go home sometimes, but had meals together every day.

One day while she went to ask some queries to Manager Kang, she heard him talking with his colleague about someone. That colleague said, "I don't know why but past some days felt less burdened, don't you think?" Manager Kang laughed and said, "Why? Don't tell me you are feeling happy because we didn't see our Grim Reaper these days."

The colleague clapped and said, "Exactly! This is why I thought that something is missing!" Su Yeon got confused but didn't asked about it, took her file and left.

She wondered who that person will be. Just yesterday, she heard about that person in their washroom. One female employee was asking the other employee, "Ahh… what is the use of coming here at work so early in this winter if I couldn't get to meet my Mr. Handsome! I couldn't have enough of him even if I see him every day. Why he often disappears these days?"

The other one replied, "How can you have a crush on that Grim Reaper! I know he is handsome but for god's sake, he always emits a cold aura. He didn't even look at us if not necessary, let alone talking."

During the lunch, Su Yeon asked Ye Jin, "Ye Jin ah, you told me that you are doing your internship in this company for almost a month," when Ye Jin nodded she continued, "Do you know who is the Grim Reaper that everyone fears?"

Ye Jin widened her eyes and asked, "How do you know about him? Oh my god, have you met him by chance? Did he scared you? Ahh why will he scare you when his mere presence is so scary!"

Su Yeon was shocked by her response. She asked, "I am asking you because I haven't met him yet. Who exactly is he? Why is everyone so scared of him?"

Ye Jin sighed and thought about it, yes, Su Yeon was right; why would she ask if she had already met him? She told, "You will think that I am exaggerating but it's not! He is really very scary! I mean he doesn't shout or scares people like a monster but it's... it's just that his expressionless cold face is scarier. Right, he is the most handsome man in our company though!" While saying the later part, Ye Jin blushed and fanned her cheeks.

Su Yeon amused, "What? You are telling me that he is scary and at the same time you are praising him for being handsome?" Ye Jin stated, "Trust me, be it open or secret, most of the female employees in this company have a crush on him! I mean whose type is cold, aloof and tall personality."

Su Yeon got curious, actually, this grim reaper perfectly fits in her type. So she asked, "Who exactly he is? I mean his position? What is his name?"

Ye Jin teased looking at her curious face and told, "So he is also of your type, ok ok I will tell you. He is our Vice President's secretary and it is said that he is the right-hand man of our President. About his name, no one knows his real name, everyone calls him Mr. Secretary. For signature he uses Mr. G; 'G' for Grim Reaper I guess so everyone calls him Grim Reaper behind his back."

When Ye Jin said Vice President's secretary, Su Yeon thought about that tall man and was shocked by her own thought. She asked, "Vice President... you mean Prof. Song?" Ye Jin amused and said, "Yes, how do you know him?"

Su Yeon was shocked and said, "So his secretary means that tall handsome man who becomes extremely shy while talking with we ladies? But he is..." Ye Jin interrupted her and exclaimed, "Talking? Becomes Shy? Hey hey hey wait! He doesn't even look at female employees, talking to them other than work and that to not necessary is impossible! Being shy? I have never seen a single expression on his face, I bet you must have hallucinated about it."

Su Yeon got confused and told her, "I think all of you have some misunderstanding about him. He is definitely handsome, just has cold face but he is very careful. When I teased him, he actually got shy that I myself felt like a pervert, he was really so cute."

Ye Jin dropped the chopsticks, "Su Yeon ah, don't give me a heart attack so soon, I am unmarried and still haven't dated a single guy. Whatever you just said was too much for me to digest! He might be careful, but for strangers... and that to towards opposite gender... I don't think so. You teased him? Your mouth really opened in front of him? and what... he got embarrassed? This sounds way more interesting! Tell me everything, where did you meet, what happened next, everything!"

Su Yeon narrated the whole story, how they met at the college gate, how she teased him for being handsome, and their second encounter in short. After listening, Ye Jin's mouth was opened; she shook her head and pleaded, "Su Yeon ah, next time, can you take me with you whenever you'll meet that Grim Reaper? I want to see how he genuinely chat with girls." Su Yeon laughed and agreed.

The rest of the day went well as usual but they didn't see Mr. Secretary. Feeling disappointed, SU Yeon and Ye Jin went their ways as usual.

...

At the main mansion, when Master Song and Gon heard about the conversation between them through a spy who was working as an employee in the company, they both had extreme reactions after the spy left.

Master Song was laughing hard and Gon became red due to embarrassment, his Miss was doing this again in this life! They both knew that Gon was famous as Grim Reaper but what his Miss thinks about him is just... just... still the same!
