The Satan CEO’s Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell In Love With Her - Chapter 390
Eunji could feel and see the guilt that had been consuming Nathan that she really felt bad for him. Nathan had decided to battle everything alone. She could tell that Nathan was actually confronting his inner demons and he was determined to win over it.
But Eunji knew that Nathan’s right. This was not the best place to do all this.
“So please my love. Go back and let me be here.”
But she didn’t want him to be killed by those people either. So she immediately made a plan.
Outside, the two mercenaries were only a few feet away from Nathan’s room.
The guards then saw them and they immediately spoke in chorus. “Open it!”
“The President told us to never let anyone in aside from him.” The guard standing by the door told them. His attitude caused Taylor to be annoyed and so she raised a brow and then kicked the man hard on the chest making him to fly on the air and landed a couple of meters away.
“Someone like you don’t have the rights to speak to us that way.” Toby spoke angrily.
“Know your place. Idiot!” Taylor added as she saw the poor mercenary grunting with the pain he suffered from her kick.
She then scanned the rest and said, “Who wants to go next?”
Looking at their comrade who had suffered a painful blow, they saw immediately cleared the way and one finally grabbed the keys to open the door.
The door then was finally opened and saw Nathan calmly sitting on the chair with his hand propped up on his chin.
He lazily looked at the two people standing in front of him by the door.
The duo then entered the room and the door was shut behind them.
Just then, Taylor looked at her brother before looking back at Nathan.
“Are you the people hired to kill me, now?” Nathan didn’t beat around the bush.
“Seems like someone had already informed you.” Toby remarked.
“Nope. No one warned me beforehand. I just put the puzzle pieces together. Your President is a cunning sly fox after all. It’s a big mistake to trust him that he’d honor the agreement and be a man of no principle.” Nathan immediately dismissed Tobby’s thoughts right away.
Taylor on the other hand kept on looking at Nathan’s face and she unexpectedly said, “Can we not kill him brother and bring him home instead? I think I already found my soul mate.”
Eunji who had left a bug inside the room frowned when she heard it.
‘What the hell?’
She was on a standby just in case these two would start attacking Nathan. The room was bare and Nathan didn’t have a spot to hide and defend himself.
It’s not that she had underestimated Nathan’s fighting skills but as someone who deeply cared for him, she’s still worried. After all, these two would never bat an eye to kill.
On the other hand, Nathan had already pictured out this expression of her every time another girl would try to flirt with her and so he chuckled on the image of her face he had formed in his mind.
If they were in the past, this little jealousy would end up with a wild affair on their bed when the night came.
He kind of missed the old days. He missed her so badly.
“No.”
“But brother, we are already rich. We don’t need more money in exchange of killing him.” She added.
“It’s not about the money. It’s about the reputation that we have to maintain.” Toby disagreed with her immediately causing her to pout.
But no one could defeat Eunji’s pout in Nathan’s heart.
“Behave! We’re here to do our task.” Taylor instead earned a scold from her brother.
“The President wanted us to kill you through assassination. However, we don’t have the mood to do it through the usual practice. And so the nine of us come up with an idea.” Toby told him seriously.
“What is it?”
“Since we’re already here then why not maximize the event. We wanted to challenge you for a fight during the last day.”
Nathan smiled coldly as he looked at them. Then within seconds his expression became serious as he uttered, “Deal!”
“As expected of you. Good! Then see you inside the ring!” Toby then looked at him one last time before he left the room while dragging his sister behind him who was reluctant to leave the room and kept on looking at Nathan.
“Wait!” Nathan called them out.
“What?!” Toby was who was annoyed with his sister’s antics snapped at Nathan.
Nathan chuckled slyly and said, “I just want to ask if I could go out now and be free. After all, I have agreed to your arrangements.”
“Not yet Mr. Satan. The first game’s still on going. And also, it’s not up to me. But it’s up to the President if he would want you to go.” Toby then smirked as he turned around and the door was opened again for them to go out.
As soon as they were out, Nathan then relaxed a little as he saw the door being shut again.
The cover on the ceiling also moved and Eunji jumped down cautiously to not create a sound.
“Are you insane?” Eunji whisper-yelled as she didn’t want the people outside to hear her.
“Insane? Well, I have and will always be insane about you my love. So what’s the matter?” Nathan asked her innocently.
“You know what I mean Nate!”
Opps! She’s serious. And so, he decided to match it.
“Well. This is a good chance so I decided to grab it until it lasts. To have us both scratch free when this event is over. You know I’m right.”
Eunji was silent because Nathan was right. This was their best option so far and so she admitted that she agreed.
“Fine! You’re right!”
“See? Everything turned out fine.” Nathan said as he walked closer to her and examined her body just in case she had hurt herself when she landed on the floor.
“Look at you! You better swear that you didn’t tear any stitches or injured any parts of your body.” This time, it’s Nathan’s turn to scold her.
“You don’t know how worried I was when I saw you bathing with your own blood as I carried you towards my car that night.” He added.
“We almost lost you again that night. And I don’t want those types of scenarios to ever repeat again.” Though he said it softly, his voice was laced with full worry and concern.
And he pulled her to a tight hug making Eunji to wince a little bit and Nathan immediately apologized.
“How did you even know I was there?” She curiously asked him.
“Anastasia called me.” Nathan decided not to hide this to her. And sure it made her to get away from the hug and looked at him.
“You kept in touch or whatsoever?”
“No. But I did give her my number the last time we had that talk.” Nathan added to his explanation making Eunji to have a frown and so Nathan explained further.
Nathan suddenly thought that she was probably thinking that they had gotten back together.
“Look, we’re not cheating your back.” Eunji chuckled when she heard that. Of course cheating had already been crossed down with a red marker in their relationship as it was very likely to not happen to them. After all, they deeply loved each other.
“She had asked for a favor but it didn’t matter now since you’re already here.” Nathan added which picked up her attention.
“No. It still matter since we’re talking about my sister now.”
Yeah. He had actually forgotten that Eunji was also a very overprotective sister to Anastasia.
“Well, she told me to stop you from participating in anything which involves the mafia, the mercenaries, everything related to the Underworld King.
“Why?”
“Seems like she had not told you yet.”
“Told me about what?”
“Your grandfather’s identity?”
“The Underworld King?”
“Yes. Wait, how did you know?”
“I just did.” She just shrugged as if it’s not a big deal either.
“Anyways. I give her my number just in case you got hurt in the way. And when she called me that night, I swear I wanted to BEAT her for hurting you like that. However, I saw in her eyes the pure regrets and guilt and her pure feelings when she begged us to save you first instead of her.”
This, she had not heard it yet and thus jt made her to tear up a little as she recalled that night.
It was hard but she somehow made it.
“Don’t cry or she’d beat me if she’ll know I make you shed a tear. That’s her warning?”
“You’re afraid of her now?”
“No. I’m not afraid of Ana. I’m just afraid that she’d ask you to leave me and I would end up beating her and you’ll get mad at me for doing so.”
One thing that Nathan had learned was that “Don’t mess the bond that every twins have. It’s scary!”
Eunji chuckled and she snuggled inside Nathan’s embrace again.
If the scenario had changed and this would happen to him and Celine, he’d be having a hard time in choosing whose side he would pick.
Anyways, Nathan was thankful that Eunji had actually calmed down.
“What is my Unnie’s actual plan?” Eunji mumbled but Nathan could hear her clearly.
She did know a little but she knew that there’s more to it.
He wanted to not answer this since he had no rights to do so but he didn’t want to lie to her.
“Honestly, I’m in no position to tell you this. But I guess you have the rights to know now.”
“And that is?” Eunji asked him because she had become impatient.
“She wanted to kill the Sir Alinsky and his Generals. To stop the power struggle among the people up top she wanted to change the system.”
Eunji frowned when she heard him. “But that includes you, too. Aren’t you one of the generals?”
“Yes, I am. However, I am the exception.”
