52 : The Eun Young He Remembered (1/2)

After the contract signing, the gossip-hungry media followed after the CEO of Summit Group International. The young man was indeed popular not just locally but across international borders as well. However, they only knew a little about the successful businessman. He almost never accepts interviews and to be able to get even just a single answer from him is already a miracle!

Cameras flashed and the reporters buzzed with questions as they surrounded Min Jae. Some asked about his secrets to success. Others asked about his plans for the company in the upcoming years. While the brave few... the brave few courageously asked about his personal life. Regardless, Min Jae not once opened his mouth to reply. He remained silent as he allowed his bodyguards to safely lead him out of the crowd.

Min Jae and Secretary Yoo left immediately after the contract signing. They were on their way back to the hotel when Secretary Yoo recalled Eun Young's request. ”Mr. Lee?” Yoo Joong asked.

During their busy days abroad, Min Jae often took these opportunities to rest in between his meetings. And so with his eyes remaining closed, he muttered in response. ”What?”

Yoo Joong sighed. Sooner or later he'd have to tell him. Besides, Mrs. Lee seemed to be in a terrible state when she called. Something important might've happened. ”Mrs. Lee called while you were at the contract signing, Sir.” He began. ”She didn't say much but she asked for you to come home as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Min Jae's eyes flew open. He turned to look at Secretary Yoo and the man gave him his phone back. Min Jae opened the screen and there he saw three missed calls from Eun Young and a text message from Mrs. Bong. He opened Mrs. Bong's message which was sent minutes after Eun Young's last attempt of calling.

Mrs. Bong: Mr. Lee, please return soon. Mrs. Lee is in a horrible shape right now and I'm really worried about her. Please contact her as soon as you can.

He didn't even bother to finish reading the message when he abruptly dialed Eun Young's number. The phone rang for few times. He waited, but then the other line suddenly lost service.

”Mr. Lee, Mrs. Dubois requested for an earlier meeting today.” Secretary Yoo reported upon receiving a notification just now. ”She said she wouldn't be able to attend at the agreed time due to personal reasons so she asked if it was possible that we meet her ahead of--”

”Nous conduire à l'aéroport. (Take us to the airport).” Min Jae ordered, cutting Secretary Yoo off.

The French driver shortly met Min Jae's eyes through the rearview mirror. ”Oui monsieur. (Yes, sir).”

Unable to understand, Yoo Joong blinked in confusion. Did he perhaps heard him wrong or did Mr. Lee actually ask the driver to bring them to the airport? ”What should we do about it boss?” He asked Min Jae to implicitly remind him about their current schedule as well.

These people they were about to meet were very important personalities. If they were to miss out on this opportunity, who knows how difficult it would be to cross paths with them again? The higher ups will certainly not like it if they all of a sudden dismiss this chance. It could end up badly for the young CEO!
