Seeing the girl walk in with Butler Shin, Soohyun approached her. Junghyun followed her and halted his footsteps when she stood in front of the girl.

Bending down to the little girl's height, she flashed her a smile and questioned, "Little girl, what is your name?"

The girl in front of her appeared quite endearing, and it took some effort on Soohyun's part to not squeeze the cheeks of the girl.

"You brought me here, but you don't know my name?" the little girl questioned.

Her reply made her seem more cute in Soohyun's eyes, and holding in her urge to let out a squeal, she shook her head.

"I am called Sihyeon, Shin Sihyeon, Unnie. Where is dad? This old man told me that he will be bringing me to my dad," Sihyeon vocalised.

"Ah! So, Sihyeonie wants to meet up with her father. Don't worry! I will be calling your father to be here. Why don't you stand and pose there, so that I am able to take a photo of you? Then, we will be sending that photo of yours to your father," Soohyun expressed, "Also try to cry slightly. If you do that, your father will come to meet you quickly."

Those words of hers caused a sparkle to appear in the little girl's eyes, and Soohyun could see that Sihyeon was quite attached to her father. 

"Really! You are not lying to me?" Sihyeon asked— nervousness present in her voice.

Extending her hand towards Sihyeon, she placed it on top of her head and patted it softly. Then, with a soft smile on her face, Soohyun said, "Of course not! Your father has been a bad boy. That's why, we need to use this method to bring him here."

Nodding at Soohyun's words, she stated, "Alright then, Unnie! I will do as you say! Please bring my father here."

Sitting on the couch, she swiped across the screen and saw the photos of Sihyeon she had clicked. The little girl sat opposite to her while she ate her ice-cream.

Selecting couple of pictures, she sent them to his phone number with the text, 'Sihyeon is really cute! But destroying these cute things really gives joy. I don't know what I might do to this little girl if you don't come to the mentioned location'.

Although Soohyun felt slight amount of guilt for resorting to such methods, there were no options for her other than this, and during the little girl's stay at her, she would try to take care of Sihyeon as sincerely as possible.

Staring up from the ice-cream to look at Soohyun, Sihyeon had a hopeful expression in her eyes while she spoke out, "Unnie, did you get to contact my father."

Before Soohyun was able to respond to the little girl's words, her phone rang up, indicating that she had received a notification. Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g on the message she had received from Hyungwon, she read through its content.

'Who are you? Please let go of my daughter. What do you need from me? I am no one important,' she silently read.

She then typed, "We will be negotiating on the entire matter when you show up at this location, and do not bring anyone along with you. You just need to help us in one matter, and we will be letting you go then."

Smiling at Sihyeon, Soohyun voiced out, "Sihyeonie, I managed to convince your father. He will be coming to meet you on the day after tomorrow. I tried to convince him to come earlier, but it seems that he is plagued with important matters."

"No, it is alright, Unnie," she spoke out, "I know that my father is a busy man, and I am being a naughty girl by requesting for his presence now. But it has been almost a month since I last saw dad. Could it be that Dad hates me because I am naughty girl and doesn't want to visit me?"

"Of course not. Didn't I say that your dad is coming to visit you? Moreover, you mentioned on how busy your dad is. That's why, he is unable to visit you. Your dad is working hard, so that he will be able to make you happy in the future," she said.

"Unnie, I really like you! You're better than my nannies! They are too mean to me."

'I doubt you would be saying that if you knew my motive for bringing you here.'

The location for their meet up was an empty warehouse that Butler Shin had found, and since barely people travelled through that road, it was the best place for them currently.

As the lights to the warehouse was turned on, Soohyun was seated on top of the chair while waiting for Shin Hyungwon to arrive. 

This was the first time she was doing such type of dealing, and it was understandable for her to be slightly nervous. More than that, however, she was thrilled to go through the entire thing.

She tried her best to let out an intimidating air, so that everything would be able to go smoothly, and the cruel lines she will be speaking out was practiced in her mind for multiple number of times.

As the sounds of the footsteps outside reached into Soohyun's ear, Butler Shin spoke out, "He is here."

Soohyun nodded at that.

"Hopefully, this will be working out in our favour," she said as a sigh left her mouth.

The worry on his face was clearly visible, and sweat dripped down his face while he walked towards Soohyun.

'It's time to start this. Luck, please be on my side.'
