"Pick up. Pick up." Aston mumbled to himself while standing in one corridor of the bar. He could felt his heart beating faster and faster as each ti passed, all because of anxiousness and nervousness.
He already called Nicole for more than 5 tis but she won't pick up! Well, she at least didn't turn her phone off. That's a relief.
He wished to rush over to her place but he didn't even know the address. Thinking of a way, his detective friend ca to his mind. He lose no ti and quickly ran inside the private room again where his two friends were staring at him with a bewildered face. What had gotten into him tonight?!
"Liam help out once more." He said to his friend who looked at him as if he was a ghost.

"Is sothing troubling you, Chairwoman?" Jero Min asked Nicole who was sitting at the chair at the head of the table.
Unlike other night, the woman seed to be more troubled and besides, she glanced at her phone again and again.
"No. It's fine." Nicole shook her head and look at the report Jero handed to her. She left the main mansion in the evening and the first thing she did was summoning Jero to get so reports. She was so glad that she recovered soon.
She silent her phone but that actor won't stop calling! It goes on that way for a while and at the tenth ti, she finally lose her patience. Sighing heavily, she took her phone and answer it.
"Can you stop being so persistent?" She scowled right away.
"I'm near your house. Let's et. It won't be long." Aston said, trying his best to calm down himself. He was glad that his stubbornness finally paid off!
"My house? Do you even know my address?" She asked with doubt while Jero observed her actions. He finds it hard to believe that the usually calm Chairwoman had this side in her!
"The Minister of Justice's house." Aston simply replied, having no idea that the woman didn't live in the house he just ntioned. He was currently standing just a few tres away from the house. "Will I co in then?" He added.
Anxiety flooded Nicole right away! If he stepped a foot in that house, the outco won't be good and the aftereffect would be more worse! She rose from her seat and anxiously squeezed her hair. What would she do? She needs to chase him away without arousing suspicions!
"Is there sothing wrong?" Jero instantly stood up, sawing the anxiety in her eyes and manners.
Lifting a palm to stop him from talking, it was also her way of telling him not to worry. She then shifted her attention back to the phone. "I don't live in that house. I move out to live alone." She said, desperately hoping that he would just withdraw.
"Are you just trying to make leave? I only ask for a few minutes of your ti." He said, his voice almost pleading with her which aroused the pain in her heart.
Walking back and forth in her apartnt, she finally thought of a way. Though she really didn't like the idea, it's better than making him landed a foot in her step-mother's house looking for her!
"I really don't live there." She sighed. "Okay. I will give you an address. Co to that."
He agreed and she imdiately put down her phone and turned her head to Jero. "Do you know the face of Aston Kang?" She asked to which the latter nodded.
"I will tell him to co to the park just beside this apartnt building. Bring him here from our secret door." She instructed Jero.
Jero Min was surprised but without asking a question, he imdiately complied. "I understand." He then left the apartnt right away.
She sends the address to Aston and also told him that a man will be waiting for him.
Nicole felt like all her energy was drained out in a split second! Why was he always so unpredictable? She didn't even get to have peace for just a day, all thanks to him. Well, it was that way ever since she t him at that party. He keeps on shocking her over and over again!
Staring out of the window, her eyes fixated on the darkness of the night while her whole mind was occupied with wondering what Aston's motive must be. What did he want to say that made him so persistent?
When he received the address along with the ssage, Aston was at a loss for words. Why would soone co to get him and take him to her? Are they shooting a spy movie or what? Whatever the reason might be, he was simply glad that he got a chance and imdiately went to the given address.
When he reached the address, he finds himself in a small park and as Nicole said, one man was waiting for him. He had never seen the man. It made him wondered what his relationship with the Chairwoman might be.
Sawing Aston from a distance, Jero walked to him and then bowed. "Mr. Kang, I'm Jero Min. I ca here in the order of the Chairwoman. Please follow ." He said to the top celebrity.
Without questioning the man, Aston followed him without reluctance. He was nervous. Before Nicole picked up his call, he thought that he won't be able to get through the night if she didn't talk to him!
That feeling made him anxious. It made him scared and helpless. It was such a foreign feeling that he thought as if he was choked which made him unable to breathe!
Putting these thoughts in mind, he quietly followed Jero. When he was led to the strange door and not to the main entrance, he raised a brow but didn't ask any question. He decided to trust the Chairwoman.
After walking up a few stairs, the man who led him finally halted and found himself before a door.
"We're here, Mr. Kang," Jero inford him and opened the door.
The interior of Nicole's apartnt appeared on the scene but all Aston could saw was the beautiful yet cruel woman who was standing next to the window.
"Chairwoman, Mr. Kang is here." Jero bowed as he inford Nicole.....
