It'll Come Naturally

"Hmp!" Hannah stomped her foot and left his office. On her way out, she met Eugenia who seemed to be on the way to meet with Rain as well.

"Hey!" greeted Eugenia in surprise. She glanced at Rain's office door before turning to her. "What's the matter, Hannah? Did you know someone who got fired?" Secretly, the two women had been competing to one-up the other. And after butting heads too often, both of them had agreed that it was best to keep their distance as much as they could. "Eugenia, shouldn't you be more anxious than me?" Hannah asked politely. "With the things you've done, I'm not surprised you're here." Never underestimate a woman's envy, for even if it were over a trivial matter, they could hold a grudge for a very long time. "We shouldn't be at each other's throats right now, you know," said Hannah, walking away slowly and facing her. "We have a common enemy, and it's that little bastard in there," She nodded towards Rain's office. When she had joined the Ke family, she didn't know the existence of the man. Only recently did she hear about him, and she wasn't impressed.

"You provoked me first. Why is it my fault now?" asked Eugenia casually. Somewhat headstrong, she wasn't used to admitting defeat. It was a flaw that developed due to coming from a rich family. And she had always found it convenient against her enemies. "Okay, okay. It's my fault then," Hannah said, "I'm sorry. Is that enough?" Considering the common interests they shared, Hannah had to let go of her pride to appease Eugenia. At any rate, there was plenty of other opportunities for them to compete in the future. Today's mishap required a truce.

"Well..." Eugenia trailed, "It's not like I'm entirely blameless. Why don't we just forget it? I've got something else to do." Since Hannah threw in the towel first this time around, she concluded it was best not to come too aggressively, and didn't push the conversation further. Watching her enter the President's room, Hannah's eyes turned dark as she dropped the pretense. Did she really think she was stupid? Even though they were civil, she still saw Eugenia as an enemy.

"If you're here to blame me for that relative of yours, I'd advise you to just shut up!" said Rain tiredly. "I doubt that if I would change my mind this soon. And I'm not even sure yet if I'm going to pursue taking legal action instead of just dismissing him." On his table, there was a thick stack of documents that needed to be dealt with. With all the interruptions, however, it was going to be difficult to get through all of them today.

Not backing down, Eugenia said, "I just think that, even if he is a criminal, he should... I don't know, he should also have the right to explain himself." She was burning with anger. And the only way to conceal was by biting her lower lip. Marrying Vance was a waste. The man couldn't even manage his own company. 'Why did he even need an outsider to intervene in the affairs of the company?' she thought.

"I guess you also knew that his behavior could be categorized as financial crime. He embezzled 50 million dollars from the company," he said coldly, and opened his drawer. "Besides, even if I gave him the chance to explain himself, do you really think he could still get away with it?" After airing his question, he put all the pieces of evidence he collected beforehand on the table. Many presumed that Rain's actions were arbitrary. But this was the truth. Without these important documents, it would have proved rather difficult to dismiss the man.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Where did you get all of these?" asked Eugenia, gobsmacked. As she held the documents, her hands trembled. If these fell in Sanford's hands, it wasn't just her relative who would be accused of breaking the law, but herself as well. After all, she had been the one who referred the relative to the company.

"You don't need to know where I got them. All you need to remember at this point is that I'm the President of KD Group now," he said haughtily, "so the next time you want to come into my office, kindly bear in mind to raise your noble hand and knock on the door. Don't be rampaging all over the place like a wild bull." Despite being a man who didn't usually knock on doors either, even if it was Edward's office, he still didn't appreciate the employees of KD Group's blatant disregard for his personal space. If he wanted to get things done, he had to draw the line somewhere.

"I'm sorry," said Eugenia suddenly. "I have things to do. Then I'll come back here to discuss this again." At first, Eugenia felt guilty because of his speech. But the longer she thought about it, the more she felt dejected.

Just as she left, Rain couldn't help but sneer at the door. Did she really think he was clueless about the dirty deeds happening in the company? If he were that incompetent, Sanford wouldn't have persuaded him several times to join the KD Group. These people were slowly starting to learn that he had been very much underestimated.

Even the turmoil in KD Group couldn't hold back Kevin's return. When he finally set his feet on the land of S City, he took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Major General, which would it be? Do you want to go home first, or return to the Military base at once?" With the Major General gone for two months, Lee was ecstatic to see him again.

"Let's go home first," answered Kevin instinctively. "I could go to the Military base tomorrow," He patted the man on the shoulder. "How's Leena? Has she been doing okay?" Wearing his military uniform, Lee noted that Kevin got a tan. It was likely due to the tropical conditions in the foreign country.

"Well, she's okay! Although," said Lee, thinking carefully. "There was that one time the other day when she vomited so much because of the foul-smelling fish odor." He recalled the time when she was cooking fish. Like a true soldier, Lee followed Kevin's instructions without question. Every weekend, he would drop by to see Leena and accompany her.

"What, she vomited?" asked Kevin, starting to worry immediately. "Has she seen a doctor yet?" Keen to find out if his wife was okay, he wished he could see Leena already. And after finding out about her ailment, he couldn't wait for another minute anymore. "She said it was just the fishy odor that got to her," explained Lee. As Lee was oblivious to Leena's current sensitive condition, he thought it was just a simple stomach ache.

"I didn't know she hated the smell of seafood," Kevin muttered, as they walked out of the airport. A gust of cold wind blew past them. Sighing, he reveled as the cold wind hit his face.

"Ah, I didn't know either," shrugged Lee. Given the fact that Kevin, the husband, didn't seem to know about it, it was ridiculous to expect Lee to possibly know.

"Did you tell her of my return?" Getting in the car, he turned to look at Lee with an expectant look.
