The CEO Who Hates Me

"Sir, the security team you requested was briefed already. About Arya's family, we were moving according to plan and so far I think that the third party was not yet aware or in suspicion." Chen reported.

Then his assistant scratched his head for sometime like he was hesitating to report something.

"What is it?" He asked with a creased forehead.

"Sir, there's some kind of problem. We are actually having hard time finding a lead. All were executed anonymously and things were well cleaned up. This was well planned. I just don't understand why someone would do something like this."

Ryu's face darkened. There's just one suspect. The Go Family, the one he turned down for an arranged marriage. They were blaming him for the several suicidal attempts of their daughter Laila.

"Sir, Go family was quiet, but we will continue to monitor things discreetly regarding them. So far it seems like it's not their doing." Chen commented, he was with the CEO for so long and that simple expression of his, Chen could easily determined what his Boss was thinking.

Laila was a childhood friend for his CEO while the latter grew thinking she was destined to be his wife. She was very obsessed with their CEO. If he was the one to assess their situation, his Boss definitely treated her just like a little sister from the start.

His thought was interrupted by the CEO's voice. "Make sure no one will get hurt on Arya's family and stay unnoticeable as much as possible."

Chen nodded and sighed as he looked at his boss who walked back on his private room.

Something was bugging Chen, he had a hunch on his own but he cannot disclose it yet since he had no proof or evidence yet for that hunch of his. Besides, his Boss will just probably laugh at him if he opened his theory on things. So for now, until there's no solid data, he will keep that premise of his on his own. But he too was hoping he was wrong because it was just too tragic to bear for his Boss if he was right.

Ryu stared at Arya who had fallen asleep during the travel. They used his private plane and will take at least an hour to reach their destination via plane.

He had bought an island last year and built a mansion there. That was intended to be a vacation house for him if he wanted some seclusion and to be alone with no one could disturb him even his family.

He saw Arya wrinkled her forehead during her sleep. He pointed his index finger between her brows and said, "Are you having a bad dream? Don't worry; I will take care of everything."

Then his face became serious as he remembered every word he had heard from Arya who was talking on the phone last night in her room.

He was awakened because of the urge to pee. Arya was not in his side so he looked for her who he accidentally heard talking on the phone in her room because the door was slightly opened. He has no plan to eavesdrop at all but he heard her voice was shaking as she talked starting with the words, "I am scared. I don't know what to do."

Then he listened intently to every word from then on without missing anything at all.

When he had listened enough he quickly walked and bumped into something because the light was dim.

At first, he can't believe that meeting her was just all planned. So as soon as Arya was in deep sleep he left and asked his assistant to get her profile and information from the tiniest details. He also instructed for an investigation about her family.

And so this morning, everything was confirmed. There's no way Arya and her family could survive their unfortunate situation unless there's a big help from someone. And it was affirmative that those help did not come from any of their relatives or family friends.

Right now, he had mixed emotions. He was mad on that person who was trying to mess up with him by using a woman but at the same time he was thankful of that person who had made a way for him to meet the woman before his eyes right now, the only woman who easily captured his very aloof heart.
