The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Chapter 40 - 40: Someone Deserving



The woman was speechless and looked at the man beside her. She wanted to know if what Nathan had said were true.

Sei was silent. He could not find the words to refute nor denied what Nathan had just said.

The Aihara Clan was guilty for mistreating Sana who was his aunt.

In fact, he felt ashamed of himself for making the visit. But what could he do? He must save and protect the clan. He was hopeful that Nathan would still choose his blood despite what they had done to his grandmother.

"And Miss. My last name is not Aihara. It was Johnson but now I'm a Bai obviously after my good-for-nothing father's name... I don't mind if you'll call me Nathaniel Johnson or Nathaniel Bai. Therefore, it was obvious that... I don't...have anything to do with this clan."

Nathan added that made the woman looked back at him.

"But the Aihara blood runs in your veins! Therefore you are an Aihara descendant. You should think of the clan's welfare above anything else." Sei reasoned but Nathan only shook his head.

"You're mistaken Sei-sama. The blood type that runs in my veins is definitely not your blood type. Because if we both shared the same blood type, my grandmother would have seek help from your proud clan when my mother lost a lot of blood when she gave birth to me. Therefore, the blood that runs in your veins and in my veins are not alike."

"--__--"

Silence.

Sei and his companion were taken aback by his reasoning.

However, a soft chuckle broke the silence in the room.

Then the door slid open revealing Kim Eunji with a warm smile on her face. She was wearing a floral patterned dress and a cardigan over it. She looked beautiful despite her pale face. She had also removed her I.V drip off her hands.

As he saw her, Nathan stood up and immediately rushed towards Kim Eunji.

"What are you doing here. You should be resting. You still have a small fever. Your wounds..." Nathan gently said as he caressed her chin. And then touched her forehead to check her temperature.

"I can't help it. I can't sleep. You've been taking so long to settle this."

"Does that mean you missed me?" Nathan asked her in a hopeful tone.

Kim Eunji bowed down and made a small nod. She was pouting. Her answer made Nathan happy and he was now in a good mood. He was smiling like a fool.

Kim Eunji had no intention to eavesdrop on their conversation at all. But Hiro's statement earlier that the visitor was accompanied by a beautiful young woman picked her interest.

Something deep inside her told her that she should follow him. And now, here she was. Standing just outside the room, by the door facing Nathan.

She didn't even caught a glimpse of his visitor as he was blocking the view.

"I'm sorry love. I'll finish this meeting as quick as I can." Nathan said.

"No need. Seems like you're having fun playing with them. You can even throw your lame jokes in the conversation. It sounds fun that I could not stop myself from eavesdropping. Which I know was not right."

"Do you want to come?" Nathan offered.

"Can I?" Kim Eunji asked him back.

Nathan chuckled as he held her hand and walked her inside the couch.

As the two people inside the room saw her walked-in they were stunned of the view.

The woman beside Sei became insecure and threw an ugly gaze at Kim Eunji.

Though Kim Eunji felt that, she decided to ignore it.

Nathan frowned when he saw Kim Eunji sitting on another couch.

"I'll stay here. You can continue your talk."

However Nathan did not let her do that and instead urged her to stand up.

"Since you're now here, it would be like I am a bad boyfriend if I would let you sit on the corner and not beside me."

Kim Eunji looked at him and sighed. "Okay."

"Good."

Nathan then walked back to the couch and sat down. Though it still had plenty of room for Kim Eunji to sit, Nathan made her to sit on his lap.

"What are you doing? You have your visitors watching us." Kim Eunji reminded him.

"Don't mind them. If they don't want to see us like this, they better leave." Nathan's voice was loud enough for Sei and the woman to hear.

Kim Eunji then looked at the woman who was wearing a beige chiffon long dress. She then looked at Nathan as if asking who the woman was. The woman was beautiful. Kim Eunji won't deny that fact but she was confident that she's more beautiful than her.

"Who is she?" Kim Eunji whispered to him.

"I don't know her. And I had no plans to get to know her. But if you wanted to, I could ask Marco or Tang Hao or even Hiro to do a background on her and submit their findings to you."

Kim Eunji was amused by his statement.

"Ahem!" Sei cleared his throat as he could not take it anymore. He was deliberately being ignored by Nathan as soon as the woman walked in. Though he didn't mind it, but he mind what the woman beside him felt. However, Nathan was doing this in purpose. Like what he said to Kim Eunji earlier, he wanted them to leave on their own accord so that he would not waste his time and energy in chasing them out of his residence.

"Any problem Sei-sama?" Nathan asked but his gaze was still with Kim Eunji.

"We came here hoping for your cooperation but I did not expect to be utterly disappointed by how you treated us. I accept if you're going to ignore me as your elder. But it is already unforgivable when you chose to ignore the eldest daughter of the Tachibana family here. She came from a dignified family but you chose to ignore her and displayed your affection with a woman from a lowly background. It's heavily unforgivable."

Nathan's expression turned grim when he heard his ill words towards Kim Eunji. Kim Eunji felt the same. She felt like she had enough of this reasoning.

Her parents had also faced the same circumstances in the past. And she witnessed how her parents struggled just to keep their family together but the outcome was ugly. His father died. Yes, the one she'd been calling as her dad, the leader of the faction, was her father's twin brother.

Nathan could feel her discomfort of the topic therefore he gently squeezed her hand as he tried to comfort her.

Sei was so worked up that he didn't realize the change in Kim Eunji and Nathan's expression.

"Nathan, I may not be able to save you if her family would make things difficult for you and the people you hold dear... including that woman!"

"Oie Sei-sama! Don't forget that you're still inside my house. My territory! Therefore, it is easy for me to ask my men to punish you if you won't keep your nasty mouth up. How dare you insult the next Mistress of this household!"

His message was loud and clear. He would never let anyone to bully Kim Eunji on and off his watch.

"You should be glad that I did grant you this audience. But instead of being grateful, you have been sprouting nonsense words from the beginning!

For the benefit of the Aihara Clan my a**! Your clan abandoned my grandmother and now your proud clan was seeking me, her descendant, for help?! Unbelievable! I would rather be happy to seek the person who made things difficult for you and made an alliance with him than to help you."

"You!" Sei was deeply angered by what Nathan had said.

Kim Eunji's heart beat faster when she realized he was defending her against his relatives.

"Nathan. Calm down. I'm okay. It's okay." Kim Eunji tried to calm him down in which she did successfully.

"Are you sure?" Nathan inquired one more time.

Kim Eunji nodded in response. Nathan was about to speak but Kim Eunji suddenly asked him something.

"Can I say a word to them?" She seriously asked. Nathan hesitated but then finally granted her request.

Upon receiving his permission to speak. Kim Eunji sighed and prepared herself. She got off Nathan's lap and decided to sit beside him instead. Nathan was reluctant but as he saw the determination in Kim Eunji's eyes to teach this two a lesson, he let her be. He was interested at how Kim Eunji will beat this two.

This would be a rare moment as Kelly once told him that Kim Eunji disliked having arguments with someone.

While Nathan was looking forward to be entertained by this, Kim Eunji on the other hand then looked at the woman and the man opposite them as she spoke.

"I'm sorry Sei-sama but I think you should leave. Nathan is no longer in the mood to talk with you." Kim Eunji's voice and facial expression may have been calm when she said that but there was a hidden threat underneath it.

"Don't be so full of yourself woman! Haven't you heard of his reputation? He will definitely toss and leave you on the corner after he had enough of you! So know your place!" Sei refuted.

"I know my place. And currently, I am his lover. So? If you think that I am not deserving to be with him, enlighten me please? Who do you think is more deserving to him? Her?" Kim Eunji challenged him this time.

"Yes! The entire Aihara Clan is even not worthy to be associated with her and her family. It was their kindest offer to help us out of our current situation in exchange of a marriage alliance between Nathan and her. But I never expected him to decline such good offer just because of a vixen like you!"

"Gomin, but I can assure you that I am more than worthy for him than her!" Kim Eunji confidently said. Since the man was already impolite to her and had raised his voice towards Nathan, there's no need to show her respect to him.

"It is already clear that you didn't come here because you're willing to do so. After all, a head of a well-known clan would not take the initiative to visit the family member whom they had neglected and abandoned in the past only to spurt none sense. Your clan had brought the problem upon yourselves and why would you make someone to clean up your mess?

Moreover, a kind of woman who used her family influence to get what she wanted is not even worthy to be his woman... what more his potential wife. Lastly, don't you have any male heirs? Why don't you let them marry her instead?"

Her words made Sei speechless.

They did offered her to marry his son but the woman insisted on marrying Nathan alone.

"Or is my man so dashing and so excellent that the men in your clan faded in comparison when compared to him?"

Nathan was smilling like a fool on the sideline as he heard her claiming him as his man for the first time in front of other people.

As Kim Eunji saw that Sei was silent, Kim Eunji even rubbed salt to the spot.

"Did it hit the spot Sei-sama? Did… the pressure that her family had put on your clan so much that you even swallowed your pride and came here and act like a pathetic fool sugar coating things right in front of us. Do you think Nathan and I are fools who could not see through your act?

And for heaven's sake. Don't use Grandmother Sana to persuade him. It's no use." Kim Eunji then turned her attention to Miss Tachibana.

"Eldest Miss, I think you should reconsider your plan next time as it didn't work now. Also conduct a better research to avoid something like this to happen in the future. It was clear that you neglected Nathan's relationship to his maternal relatives. Not everyone hold the same sentiments when it comes to relatives. You clearly overestimated it this time." Kim Eunji even gave the woman an advice.

"You!" Miss Tachibana was furious.

"Oie! Love. Don't be like that. It seems like you wanted her to take me away from you instead." He playfully asked.

"Well, she could if you'll let it happen. Are you going to let it happen?" Kim Eunji's voice darkened when she asked him of that.

"Of course not! I won't let that to happen. I vow to be yours forever." Nathan seriously answered.

Kim Eunji only smiled as she heard that.

"Good. Now it is settled."

"No! I won't accept this! Who is she? She's nothing compared to me in all aspects! Do you think you deserve him?" She snapped.

"Pardon Tachibana-san but I'm so lazy to narrate the reasons why I deserve him more than you do." Kim Eunji was back to her lazy self.

"Leave!" Nathan's furious voice echoed in the room. He had enough fun already and he could not afford this people to insult Kim Eunji.

"Leave before I'll let my men to drag you out of my house!"

"This is not over, Nathan!" Miss Tachibana reminded him.

"No. This is over when I said it's over." Nathan said with authority.

"I don't want to see any of you or your people ever again. End of discussion... HIRO!" Nathan called Hiro who soon entered with a group of men in black suit behind.

"Eunji is right. Using my grandmother's name won't work on me. You made things difficult for her in the past. Now, I'll make sure to make things difficult for you in now and in the years to come. And for your Tachibana clan, don't dare to mess up with me. You won't know the intensity of the things that I could do." He warned them both.
