The CEO Who Hates Me

Exactly twenty five days had passed since Ryu had started his rendezvous' with the underworld and left home.

Meanwhile, Arya's management company, Cooper Entertainment, was going to hold a banquet in next two days as a thanksgiving party for the success and the warm support of the televiewers for their drama.

Many important persons in the business world were invited. Among the important guests were the Kens, Mings and Lees. Many journalists, reporters and even some people from the business world were curious to attend this banquet because of the gossip that floated about the Actress who was the main lead of the drama.

People were questioning her integrity with the Kens as Arya, who was now well known as the fiancée of Ryu Ken, had signed a contract through her management company the Cooper Entertainment, to be the ambassador for the airlines of the Lee's company SL Group. This contract had been given approval from the SL Group as well as from Arya.

All medias pondered on one question: "Isn't the hidden enmity between the Ken's and Lee's the talk of the town since more than a month or two?"

The PR Department of the Cooper Entertainment explained, "Arya did not receive any offer from Ryu's company while SL Group had given them a very profitable offer and since Arya was one of the best artist in their entertainment company among the fresh faces, she met all the standards the SL Group asked for and this is a professional relation which has nothing got to do with her personal life."

At the Lee Mansion

Denise and Old Man Skull were eating lunch on the dining table while Shawn had already excused himself for a while for a phone call. He always tried to show to this shrewd old man that he gets irritated in the presence of Denise.

"Father Lee, you are going to attend the event right?" Denise asked Old Man Skull. She had started to call him father Lee instead, because his dad was confused during the meet-up of the in laws when she called them both dad.

"I will think about it." Old Man Skull replied simply as he ate.

Denise arched an eyebrow. Arya called her, asking if she could convince Old Man Skull to attend the said party.

Then she changed her expression and with misty eyes said, "I think it would be best to attend because Arya is a trending name today. I know she is my friend, but I noticed Shawn pays more attention to her than to me though I know she is famous and almost all companies wants to have her to model and endorse them but she has still chosen SL Group."

Old Man Skull scoffed.

"Though, Shawn will definitely be present and can represent you being the CEO of the SL Group but I wish you also be there because I don't want Shawn to pay too much attention at her and avoid me just like he does all the day. I think Shawn still has some emotions for Arya and if you will be with me he will be kept in control else I am afraid he might just start paying her more attention than me." Denise explained, showing her sulking face intentionally to Old Man Skull.

Then she added, "though I tolerate him avoiding me everytime, but if he started paying more attention to any other woman than me, I would be really heartbroken father Lee… Please attend the banquet and can you be with Arya as SL Group's representative instead of him during the party?"

Denise explained and tried hard to convince Old Man Skull who did not respond at her still.

"By the way father Lee, have you thought about allowing Shawn to stay in our house for a while? Maybe if he stays with me for a few days he would start to like me also. My dad actually wants to know him more too before the wedding." Denise changed the topic, so Old Man Skull won't get suspicious for convincing him to attend the party.

Old Man Skull frowned but quickly changed his expression and smiled to Denise.

He looked at Shawn who was again entering the dining area and sat down on his chair beside Denise.

"Child, I will talk to your father and explain everything why Shawn must stay with me for a while. If you really don't want to part with him then why don't we do this… why don't you stay here instead while you two prepare for the wedding? I will have one of our guest rooms be arranged to your liking. The room right next to Shawn's..." He asked as his evil grin flashed on his face.
