Chapter 365 - 363: Looking For The Temporary CEO
Right after the doctor left, Mo Jing-sheng looked at the time on his watch and saw that it was almost ten in the evening.
In fact visiting hours had been long overdue for the day.
Chairman Mo looked at his wife who was surprisingly still wide awake which made him to be worried for her health and their baby.
He then leaned towards her and then whispered, "I'll send you back home. It's already very late."
But Kelly was stubborn. She couldn't dare to leave the hospital given that everyone's in low spirit.
She wanted to give them moral support.
Especially Eunji.
"No. I'll sleep here tonight. I don't know if this woman would do stupid things tonight. Please? Let me stay here." She whispered back to him.
Mo Jing-sheng's office had a separate room which had a bed on it. They could sleep there for the night.
"But what about Xiao Yichen? He'll feel lonely sleeping alone in the mansion."
"Mom and Dad had just arrived when I left. So he got company."
"What? They didn't tell me they'll be coming over." Mo Jing-sheng felt upset knowing that his parents didn't inform him beforehand.
"They just missed their grandson. What's wrong with that?"
"The situation's different now. They're much safer back home."
Kelly went silent after realizing that.
While the couple were at it, Mei together with Lee Yunha and Angelina, who was bringing a small black bag came running towards them.
"Auntie!" Alice and Iris ran towards Mei who was already sobbing.
Eunji and Sam also stood up and slowly approached them.
Alice and Iris comforted Mei while Lee Yunha and Angelina spotted Eunji in hospital gown therefore they approached her immediately.
"Devie!"
"Chairman!"
Both had worries on their faces.
However, Eunji only showed a subtle smile on her face.
"I don't want to talk about it." As much as she could, she didn't want to hear anyone talking about her miscarriage. She just could not bring to accept that she neglected her body and lost their child in exchange.
"Anyways." Eunji changed the subject right away and looked at Lee Yunha.
"Marco's in one of the VIP rooms upstairs. You may go and visit him there."
Eunji saw how Lee Yunha's face became worried right after she mentioned Marco's name.
"Why? What happened?"
"He was accompanying Neechan when Luo Mian's men ambushed them."

Angelina's masked face changed the moment she heard his name.
Kelly and Sam approached Mei.
"Eunji." Mei called Eunji's name and just like the three, she was also worried with Eunji.
"I'm fine, Mom. I just overdid myself. The staff here just over reacted and changed me into this." She was trying to dodge the topic.
However, Kelly, Alice and Iris had this complicated expression.
"I think we shall go somewhere else to talk."
"Right. I already prepared a room for everyone. Come with me." Mo Jing-sheng invited them to go upstairs.
They entered into the VIP room beside Marco and J's room.
This was also the room where Eunji had stayed earlier.
Everyone came in aside from Lee Yunha who chose to visit Marco instead.
Eunji entered the room last but she didn't sit down on the bed. Instead she chose to ask Angelina of the bag she was holding.
Angelina gave the bag to Eunji.
Eunji took it from her and she opened it.
After checking on what was inside, Eunji closed it again and placed it on the table where her bag was.
Everyone found places to settle down inside the room.
Everyone were so silent and no one dared to speak first.
Everyone were comforting Mei who was still crying from time to time.
"Mom, please don't cry. Neechan will be fine. I'll make sure she'll be fine."
"I just can't help it child. As a mother, it's really painful to know that she's in critical condition and there's nothing I can do about it. What really happened? Why did she become like that?"
"It's Luo Mian, Mom. They came back the other day and the next thing they did is this."
"Why would he do that to Yuki? They were over right?" Mei asked in between her sob.
"That demon bast*rd want to use Neechan against Nate. They wanted to take their revenge on her."
Eunji told them the root cause of the story and surely, they hated the Luo Brothers even more.
"Oh God!"
"Don't worry Mom. With what they did to Neechan, I'll make sure there's no come back for them."
Revenge. That's all that's inside her head.
"Since we're all here, Mom, is it okay if you'll become the temporary CEO of Nate's companies?"
"Why? Where is he?"
Mei had no idea that Nathan left Eunji. She thought her son went for a business trip that's why he was not with them.
No wonder the kids were acting differently this morning.
"He went somewhere else. And left the companies in Neechan's care."
"What?! That son of mine! What did he do this time?"
Eunji sighed as she didn't want to think about it.
"I'm sorry child." Mei immediately apologized to Eunji in behalf of her son.
"It's okay Mom. Nathan had his reasons and I respect his decision."
He did say he'll come back and that's what she was holding on.
Everyone was so focus of how she felt that no one thought of what Nathan exactly felt.
"Now that Neechan's in this state and Marco's in a bad state too, the companies lost their pillar."
"How about you?"
"Mom, we are already divorced. I have already lost the legal rights as his wife. Our children are already out of the question since they're still too young though they owned the biggest shares combined."
In short, the only person who have the rights to succeed Nathan's position was Mei before the members of the board.
"I can't. I have no idea how to run a big companies. I'll only mess up."
"Dev- I mean Eunji, how about you agree to the merger that he proposed?"
"It's too risky. I'm afraid they already know that I own ELEK, Group."
"What?!" Alice and Kelly even Mo Jing-sheng were surprised to know that.
Dang!
"Is it really that of a big deal?" Eunji could only ask them that.
"You girl! I could give you a million reasons why it's a big deal for us. No wonder ELEK, Group acted like the next alpha in the market competition, the main mastermind is actually you!" Pride was evident on Celine's voice.
But Eunji only remained silent and down to Earth just like how she should be.
"Nah. It'a all thanks to Angelina here."
"So your name's Angelina, too?"
Since Angelina was cautious enough to be in disguise, aside from Sam and Mei, no one could recognize her.
"She's Angelina because she's the Angelina."
"Oh!"
"Hi girls. It's been a while." Angelina greeted them awkwardly.
"So she's Personal Assistant A? Then who's Executive Assistant J?"
Those in the circle knew them really well.
"He's on the other room."
"What, J?!"
Eunji sighed inwardly after seeing her reaction.
"My sister beat him to pulp to the point that I have to step in just to prevent him from crossing the other side."
"Why would you do that?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I thought you hate him."
"Angie, it was not hate. It's more of a disappointment and thought that I could no longer trust him. But I could not deny the fact that we've been through thick and thin. So I saved him."
Simple as that.
However, Eunji gave her a teasing look that only her could understand.
"No! I don't want to go and see him."
"Stop being defensive. You have said it yourself."
"Stop being match-maker queen, okay?"
The two were lost on their conversation that the other people in the room got lost.
"Ahm, sorry...but what's going on?"
"Angie had a feelings for J."
"I don't. Nothing happened between us."
"But you thought it was actually him, didn't you?"
What Eunji said made Angelina silent.
"Anyways. So that's why we won't do the merger."
Eunji immediately flipped back the topic after seeing that Angelina was sulking on the corner.
"This is horrible." Kelly blurted out her comment.
"Indeed."
"Brother-in-law, what can you say?"
"The CEO and Chairmanship position will be vacant as long as Celine's in comma. This will cause a huge impact to the company."
Though Nathan had already cleaned up the board and only selected those who're loyal to him, the world's not square. It's round. And things might happen in the future.
And without a strong pillar, it's easy to topple it down.
"We can get one of the Vice President to fill in the role of the CEO position. However, can you trust a subject to be continuously loyal and not be swayed now that the Master's missing in action?"
The truth that Nathan had not introduced any children to the public might pause as a problem.
"Eunji, since you have the means to disguise yourself without everyone knowing, why don't you disguise as Celine?"
"I can't." Eunji immediately declined that idea.
If she would bury herself behind the stacks of paper works, then she won't be able to complete her revenge in the fastest possible time.
"Why not?"
"Excuse my language but there are many people that I have to kill to end everything. And I can't do that if I'll stay in the office."
True, that's why she had two people she fully trusted to run the company for her when she's away.
"Then, what to do?"
Then her gaze landed at Sam who was silently sitting on the corner.
Maybe she felt that someone's looking at her so she looked up and saw Eunji's meaningful gaze.
"No. I won't do it." She immediately turned it down even before Eunji could say it.
"Yes, you will. For Neechan. It's just temporary."
"But I don't have any knowledge about managing a big business." Sam really wanted to decline it. After all, she only knew how to handle talent not a company.
"You're not going to be alone. Alora's going to help you. And I got your back."
Mo Jing-sheng also spoke to convince her.
"Right. You knew Celine like the back of your hand. You're the best candidate to disguise as her."
And besides, they both had the same height and body built.
