Chapter 372 - 370: The Nightmare
Luo Tian hugged the jar containing his brother's urn and he carried it into a safe place to place his remains in there.
"Prepare our men. We will attack KSA building tonight."
Luo Mian no longer care about Francais' reminder.
They had killed his beloved brother. And he won't be able to sleep tonight if he won't get his revenge.
"But First Master! We're still short of manpower. Our men will easily be outnumbered by them if we'd make a surprise attack. Please reconsider your decision."
"What! Who are you to dictate me on what to do?! Will that bring my brother back to life if I'll reconsider my decision?"
"But First Master, we're not even sure if that's really the Second Master."
After all, what they had now were ashes inside a porcelain jar with a note saying that it was Luo Mian's remains.
Because of anger, Luo Tian grabbed him by the neck and strangled him as he pushed him into the wall.
"Are you trying to tell me that you're better than me?!"
"*Cough!* No First Master. *Cough!* I'm just afraid that all of this was just a trick to make you lose control."
That was what Eunji's actual plan.
She wanted him to lose control and then came to her. And it did happen.
Hearing that his subordinate had a point, Luo Tian released him and then he fixed himself.
He then heaved a sigh and recollected himself.
"Recruit as many men as possible. I'l give them the war that they wanted."
Meanwhile...
Eunji was already sleeping on her bed. She had not become a deep sleeper after Nathan left. But this time, it was different.
She was sleeping soundly and at the same time, she was dreaming.
She was dreaming that Nathan was laying his head on her lap.
They were chuckling and smiling as they watched their children wearing white outfits, playing around the field full of daisies.
They too were wearing white outfits just like their children.
The atmosphere was filled with giggles and laughters but then...
All of a sudden, in just a snap of a finger, the view changed in front of her and she saw blood all over.
She saw Nathan holding a dead woman's body in his arms.
She called his name, he didn't turn to her and continued hugging that woman wearing in white dress which was exactly similar as what she was wearing.
As she walked closer, she saw their children lying on ground, bathing with their own blood.
She wanted to run towards them but she couldn't. All of a sudden, she was stuck on the ground.
She struggled to break free from being stuck. She tried calling Nathan for help but he didn't even listen to her.
Then she saw another person looking at her. Coming towards her direction. Holding a blood stained knife.
"Ana! What did you do?"
But then she heard she heard someone else's voice behind her that caught her attention.
She turned her upper body to look at the person and she was surprised to see the woman who looked exactly like her but wearing a black dress.
"She can't hear you. You're already dead."
"What are you talking about?! No!" She talked to the woman.
"You failed to protect them Eunji. You failed!"
***
"No!" Eunji screamed when she woke up from that terrible dream.
She grabbed the pills hidden on the drawer under the bedside table and took them like candies.
She didn't even realize she was actually crying while she was sleeping. And at the same time, she was drenched in sweats.
Alora's voice echoed on the speakers of her room.
"Mommy, are you alright?"
"Yes! I'm fine. Don't worry, okay? Just go and sleep."
"Mommy. You're really not okay. I don't sleep. Remember?"
"Right. Sorry." Eunji rubbed her face and lay down back to her bed as she tried to recall her dream.
However, she can't even remember most of it.
"Do you want to talk about it? I can listen."
"It's okay Alora. I'll be fine in a heartbeat. It's just a bad dream."
"Oh. Maybe you miss dad that's why you're like that."
Eunji became silent.
"Okay Mommy. If you needed anything else, I'll be here. I'm one word away."
Nathan.
She missed him so much that she immediately cried as she thought of him.
Things that had happened in the past helped her to not think about him and what he did to her.
But now that she was so down, all she could think about was him.
"Hubby..." she said while tears ran down her cheeks.
'Stop thinking about him. He left, remember?' Her mind scolded her.
"But I miss him!"
She's now talking to herself.
"I miss Nathaniel Bai!" She shouted while crying.
"Hubby, please come back! I need you."
Eunji didn't know that she had gone back to sleep in that state.
Morning came and Eunji woke up and she could not barely open her eyes due to swelling.
Before she could think about what happened last night, the delicious smell of the food being cooked in the kitchen.
She knew that smell, it was pancakes.
Eunji got up from her bed and followed the smell not minding that she was still in her pajamas and her hair was everywhere.
When she walked out in the hallway, she saw Angelina and Lee Yunha in the kitchen.
Lee Yunha was the one cooking while Angelina was holding her head.
Eunji went back to her room and took a pack of tea from one of her bags.
She had rarely drown herself with alcohol so she never displayed it in the counter.
When she came back to the kitchen and tossed the tea bag to Angelina.
"Good morning Chairman!"
"Good morning Yunha-shi!"
Eunji saw that Angelina already had a cup of coffee.
Eunji took it away causing her to frown while looking at her.
"Good morning to you, too."
"Why did you threw it?" Angelina asked as she saw Eunji pouring all of the contents on the sink.
"I'm not even done with it." Angelina added.
"You don't need it sweet heart."
Eunji then grabbed a new cup and poured a boiling hot water on the cup.
"Here. Drink that tea. It'll help you get over your hang over faster."
Angelina mumbled a soft "Thank you" to her as she tore off the packaging and took the tea bag and placed it on the cup.
Eunji watched as Angelina took a sip of her tea and she could really tell that she liked the taste of it.
"Is this one of your own herbal inventions?"
"Hmm. Yes."
"I like it. Can I have more?"
"Silly, are you trying to tell me that you're going to get drunk again like last night?"
Angelina became silent.
Eunji grabbed the stool and settled down beside her.
"Don't do it again, Ange. It's dangerous. Good thing Yunha-shi saw you and followed you there. When something's bothering you, talk to me okay?"
"When did our situation changed then? You're supposed to be the depressed one here, not me."
Eunji became silent. She knew that it was just an innocent statement from her. She knew that she didn't mean any harm at all.
Maybe Angelina realized that she had done something so she immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry. That was so insensitive of me."
Eunji answered her sorry with a smile.
"Don't say sorry. It's fine. Of all the people here. I know what you're going through. So don't worry."
Though Eunji said that, Angelina could tell that she was hurt. She didn't even realize that her eyes were swollen. This made her more guilty because of how insensitive she was.
"I'm sorry."
"Stop! Stop saying sorry when there's nothing to apologize for. Angie, promise me one thing, if you're troubled with something, talk to me or to the other girls. Turning to alcohol will never solve any problem, you'll only gain addiction from it."
Eunji then sighed as she looked at Angelina's hang-over face.
"Finish that. You'll get better after that."
Eunji then got up from her seat and walked towards the fridge to get the tumbler of ice cream.
Then, she walked towards the cupboard to get a bowl.
"It's still too early for that you know." Angelina commented as Eunji walked back to the stool beside her holding a still full tumbler of ice cream.
"Un gelato è non una colazione. I know." She said as she took a scoop and put one in the bowl.
"Eh? Where did that Italian 101 came from?"
"Nothing. I just miss eating something sweet to start my morning."
Lee Yunha then placed her freshly cooked omelet on the plate and put a maple syrup on it.
She also cut some fresh fruits and served.
She was about to leave the kitchen when Eunji told her to stay.
"Stay here. Eat your breakfast. I can't eat your pancake because it has eggs. I'm sure of it."
Eunji on the other hand had some idea. She got up from the stool and decided to make a fruit and vegetable shake for her breakfast.
Of course, the main star would be her ice cream.
"Oh! I'm sorry."
"It's alright."
After all, not many knew about it. And it was always either Master Liu or Angelina who would do the cooking and no one mentioned about it so they dared not to ask.
Lee Yunha then settled grabbed the stool and settled down opposite them.
Eunji also settled down right after she was done with her fruit and vegetable shake.
It sure did looked weird with all the greens and violet with pink she put in together. But it looked deliciously sweet.
Eunji then chucked on it.
"I'm sorry Eunji. After we came back yesterday, my mind was just everywhere. Like I was suddenly scared and haunted by that smirk on his face before I stopped stabbing him. And then the blood on my hands and in my shirt. It was all his."
"That! We're going to work on that. We have to make sure to erase that in your memory. And I'll make sure that you won't be stuck in the same situation in the future that would turn you to be like this again."
"Thank you."
"It's fine. Since you're done here, you both should go back to Seoul and take care of that project. And also, I have already scheduled your appointment to Dr. Lee."
"Yeah. That project. Don't worry, I'll make sure it'll be successful. And I'll go to Dr. Lee. I don't lie this feeling Eunji. It scares me."
Eunji smiled at her and she said, "Don't worry Ange, you'll overcome this like a champ! You'll get over this and make Katarina proud."
As she heard her daughter's name, Angelina flashed a smile.
"Yeah. Thank you again."
Now that Luo Mian was dead, she could now finally start over with no deep hatred in her heart.
She really never regretted giving her trust to Eunji.
She owed this woman so much.
"Don't worry Eunji, I'll watch over your family while you're away."
Eunji only smiled.
After they had breakfast, Angelina and Eunji went back to their rooms. But before that, she saw Lee Yunha staring at the window outside seemed lost.
"What's wrong?"
Lee Yunha was so lost into her own thoughts that she was startled by Eunji's voice.
"Oh, Chairman! I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" Eunji asked as she looked at Lee Yunha.
"Hmm. You're thinking about Marco. Am I right?"
And Lee Yunha answered it with a sigh.
"Do you want to stay?"
"What? No. Chairman, I..."
"Based on your reaction you wanted to stay."
Lee Yunha had become speechless that Eunji wanted to tease her.
"Fine, you'll stay."
"What?! Chairman...I-"
"Don't be mistaken. I'm here. You're still working for me."
Though she was the boss, she still wanted her people to have the opportunity to have a life outside of work.
She just hoped that things would work out for her and Marco.
