The CCEO’s Hidden Identity

“NO. Let them go,” Don Vladimir Henson immediately stopped his bodyguard to approach Euna and Red.

He saw everything. He and his two bodyguards witnessed everything. They witnessed how Red chased his squammy girlfriend.

Yes, Don Vladimir wanted to use those words to make it clear in his mind for what and for whom the woman his grandson was chasing, who is now gold by that.

And his dumb grandson, at the height of his lime in their family, now looks like a wet chick in the middle of the road, getting wet in the rain, fists clenched and bent over like a madman.

Don Vladimir did not know what Red was still waiting for when his proud girlfriend had left him and it was raining very hard.

“Isn’t it funny how love can make a person stupid? Tsk, tsk, tsk,” he said to his two bodyguards, even though he knew that they would not respond to him.

Work etiquette, simple as that.

“I remembered my wife, she said that maybe being in love and being stupid is actually the same thing on her because she chose me as her husband. But come to think of it, that’s how many lovers there are. Tsk, but that seems to be the opposite of Red. Hey , my grandson Redd Ford Henson is really… just always sloppy.”

“OMG, why are you getting wet in the rain, you witch!” Reyna nervously attended to her friend who opened the door.

She immediately wrapped her shoulders with a towel.

“What are you doing with your life? You’re the one who always reminds me not to get wet on the rain but here you are now, Fileuna Del Fierro, whu?” Reyna rants to her friend when she als sits down on one of the chairs at their table.

“I-I left Red there, in the middle of the… road at the nearby drugstore…”

“What??! With the heavy rain, you should let him in our house too!” Reyna surprisingly blurted out.

Next thing, Reyna didn’t know if she would come out to bring Red an umbrella, or what.

Euna pulled Reyna’s arm.

“Euna-”

“He’s over there in the corner. I left him there. But I guess he can make it. Don’t mind him, he has a lot of money.”

Reyna was stunned by what she heard from Euna. She also kept her mouth shut and didn’t want to say anything that she knew she would later regret. Euna is angry at what she discovered and she has no right to interfere with her decisions. She’s just there by her side to guide her in her decisions, no matter what. Even if she’s not agree with it, now.

She just hugged her friend with a sigh. “Oh, Euna…”

And there, Euna couldn’t help but cry on her best friend’s shoulder.

“Why is he still… Why is it complicated, Reyna?”

“That will be fine. Don’t close your mind for you and Red’s reconciliation.”

“I’m done, Reyna. We’re done…”

Reyna chose not to respond and just stroked Euna’s back so that she could somehow calm her down.

“That’s okay. You will be okay too, Euna,” Reyna could only whisper to her friend.

The ringing of Euna’s phone interrupted their tight hug at each other. The caller is eager because it doesn’t stop ringing.

“Who is that?”

“I do not know.” replied Euna. She wiped her tears with her palm.

“Check your inbox first and maybe there’s a text there before the call,” Reyna suggested, which Euna did in turn.

They stared at each other when Euna received a text from an unregistered number too.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

They stared at each other because the sender slash caller introduced himself-said to be Don Vladimir Henson-grandfather of Redd Ford Henson…

WHEN her grandmother told Euna about her father, she swore that in return for what he did to her mother, she would never talk to him and would consider him dead. Which she did triumphantly, so she secretly patted her own shoulder until now that her nephew and nieces had grown up and she didn’t ask her father for any help. Her honor and dignity is so important to her.

And now she’s here, she can’t believe what she heard from Red’s rich grandfather.

Don Vladimir Henson, offered her a one million in exchange for leaving his grandson…

“I want to be frank here, I don’t want you for my grandson. I don’t care what you want to think of me now . I don’t care where you take the money. Oh, of course you could think now that I am rude. Well, I’m just being true to myself here, Ms. Euna Del Fierro… Ah, wait, your surname rings a bell…”

She swallowed hard. “I can’t accept that money. I can avoid your grandson without that money.” Euna is at the verge of anger. She felt it in herself. So while she still had a little bit of sanity left that told her brain that the man in front of her was an old man and should be respected, she must have left the don there.

She already knew what the don would say about her last name. With that last name story, she knew she would explode.

The don raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Euna, I was there last night. My two eyes witnessed how my grandson chased you.”

Euna was stunned, she just closed her mouth immediately and might just yell at the don for spying on her!

He took a deep breath before speaking. “Don Vladimir, excuse me, but maybe that’s not my problem anymore. That’s your grandson’s problem. If you were there, you would have seen that I’d ended what was between the two of us.”

“Of course, of course, I know. Based on the way you threw the sticky sauce on my grandson’s face and clothes, I already deduced your scene even though I didn’t come close.”

“He deserves that,” she said, proud and loud.

The don laughed mockingly. “And you deserve this money as well, hija. The further away, the less my grandson will mess with you.”

Euna frowned. “Why are you forcing that money on me? Why don’t you just tell your grandson to stay away and stop?”

Don Vladimir’s next response to Euna was laughter again. “As if it’s that easy? Ms. Euna, love, especially when it’s just beginning, is very naughty. My grandson won’t stop you unless he finds another woman to focus his attention on.”

Euna doesn’t know why someone poked her chest when the don said that. When she imagines that Red will disappear from her because there will be a new one who will replace her in his heart…

“Okay, it looks like you’re having a hard time deciding, I will help you.”

“You can’t pay me,” Euna firmly hissed. She stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder in preparation for leaving. “Thank you for the offer, Don Vladimir, if only I had known that this is the important thing you are referring to, I wish I could have told you on the phone that no matter what happens, you will not be able to repay my honor and dignity as an individual who’s only have it all her life.”

Euna bowed slightly in farewell to the don, then she turned her back.

The don just let him walk to the door. And when Euna held the doorknob, he spoke again…

“Even if I tell you now that it was the Henson-Do’s who set the railroad on fire?”

She frozed.

“Yes, Henson-Do is the owner of that land that was sold to Henson Builders Corp. long ago. I guess I should also remind you-to you who have been taking advantage of my land for a long time.”

Euna tightened her grip on the doorknob because of what she heard. Anger rose up in her chest. Memories filled her. She felt and heard how her heartbeat with anger in those memories.

“I’m offering you a win-win situation here, Ms. Euna, take this one million in exchange of leaving my grandson, which is what you’re already doing in fact, I just don’t want it to be reported that you wooed my grandson because that’s how love is stupid. I want you to go far with my money.”

With what the don said, Euna’s pounding chest with anger gradually became deafening.

Don Vladimir is an enemy.

The man she love-loved-was her enemy too.

Because if she considered anyone an enemy in this world while she was alive, it was the rich owner who set fire to the railroad that took the lives of her entire family.

“You are animals,” she said sharply when she turned her gaze back at Don Vladimir. Clenching her fists, Euna faced Don Vladimir, who still had the guts to grinned! “You are an animal. A heartless one, to be exact,” she hissed, squinted her eyes at the old man.

“I know. Believe me,” the don replied proudly.

Euna held tightly the strap of her bag when Don Vladimir pointed to her the suitcase that’s on his office table.

“Take this and leave my grandson or…”

Euna approached the black suitcase, took a look at it, and immediately closed it tightly. After all, if the don wants to play, she will give it to him.

“Alright, I’ll take it. But not to the condition you want. It’s easy for me now to hate your grandson. I will take this money because you are the animal who killed my family.”

“Oh,” the don reacted sarcastically. He looks like the villain in the movies who even lit a cigarette and stood up.

Euna looked up. “I’ll take it, I don’t care about your grandson anymore. I’ll take it and in exchange is the railroad land. Please fix the contract right now, Don Vladimir Henson of Henson Builders Corp. because I have no intention of stepping on my cheap shoes again in the place of my enemy.”
