She looked at the little girl who also happened to look back at her.
Then, an unexpected thing happened. Evelien smiled at her when she saw Eve and the little girl's smile imdiately captured her heart.
Eunji didn't even realize that tears started falling in her eyes.
She felt the connection between them but the connection overwheld her.
So, she imdiately looked away from the little girl and she knew she had to leave the place imdiately and start looking for answers.
Evelien who lost sight of Eunji stopped smiling and then frowned when she could not see the woman.
Seconds later, the frown was replaced by a pout and that pout was then replaced by a cry when Eunji didn't showed up again.
Her cry caught the attention of the adults present around her.
"Eve...don't cry..." i coaxed her granddaughter.
i also looked towards the direction where Evelien was looking to see what's going on.
"Evelien, do you want mommy to carry you?" Celine asked her.
"No!" The child rejected and cried again.
i and Celine were both lost in a thought. They wondered why Evelien was acting like that.
Fortunately, Evelien started crying when they entered Li Wei's room.
anwhile, while Eunji was in a hurry, she asked Alora to check on the files related to the baby that i was carrying.
Since her part on the convention was done, she had driven sowhere else while waiting for her private plane to be prepared at the airport.
While she was on the highway, Alora started reporting in her ear what she had found about the child on the database.
"The baby's na is Evelien Bai. She's eighteen months old now. She's the daughter of Nathaniel Bai and Eunji Bai. That's your forr na, Mistress, right?"
"Why did Nathan na his daughter from my na? How did she look like ? Look for the information related to that. Do a more detailed research!" Eunji said impatiently.
"Okay Mistress!" Alora said.
Her car stopped in front of the coffee shop that she had booked the entire second floor in advance to et soone tomorrow but she had to do it now.
She then called that person over the phone. In just a single ring, the call connected imdiately.
"Mr. Laurent, et at T location. Hurry up...I am waiting." Eunji told the man with an authoritative tone.
Mr. Laurent was the head of the Interpol. The man had so favor to repay on her. So this was the best way that she could think of for the man to repay her.
She got out of the car and walked towards the coffee shop not minding the cold weather around her.
The coffee shop owner greeted her the mont she saw Eunji coming.
"Hello Mada!" The owner of the coffee shop greeted her.
"Denis, is the second floor available?" She asked the man imdiately making the man to be surprised.
"Mada Devie?!" He asked her after he realized who had just entered his coffee shop.
"En." Eunji nodded.
Denis t Eunji or Devie when she was visiting her company here in France. She was wearing her gold mask when he saw her and introduced herself as Devie.
Denis had not seen her disguised face behind that gold mask. That's why his reaction was like this.
He knew that it was her because of her voice.
He was once a holess and had been on the street. Eunji helped him in putting up his dream coffee shop.
And he managed it pretty well and opened three more branches around the country. The most recent one was here in Paris.
"Yes...you have booked it for tomorrow but I already told my staff to clean it earlier today so the space above was vacant." He said.
"Good." Eunji said and then let Denis to lead her upstairs.
Eunji seated near the glass wall so she could see what was happening on the street below.
Denis served her a hot chocolate and placed the nu in front of her as they waited for Eunji's guest.
She then dismissed Denis as she waited for Mr. Laurent and the Alora's report regarding the child that she had seen earlier.
"Alora, any update?" She spoke to her.
"Mistress, seems like soone had destroyed the information regarding with the child." She said.
"But?" Eunji knew that Alora was not finished yet and she was able to find sothing.
"Here's the catch. The egg was fertilized via IVF and was then transfered to the surrogate mother. She didn't own the egg, it was soone else." Alora continued.
"What IVF clinic did it happen?" She asked Alora.
"New Hope IVF Clinic, a famous fertility and IVF clinic oversease." Alora answered.
As she heard the na of the clinic, Eunji spat the hot chocolate that she was sipping.
Oblivious to her reaction, Alora continued, "The egg cell being fertilized with your husband's sperm was owned by the woman nad EL. Whom was your other na." Alora finished.
"Then...the child...is mine? I am her biological mother?" Eunji asked and Alora answered her.
"Based on the data I gathered, yes. You are her biological mother."
"How?" Eunji could only ask how it happened.
"I have no idea how it happened Mistress as the doctor who did the procedure had been found dead inside her apartnt a month ago." Alora answered making Eunji to be silent.
She did visit the clinic in the past and stored so of her egg cells there just in case she wanted to have a child with no father.
Who would have thought that destiny would do its magic trick and this happened. She had another child with Nathan whom she didn't know of.
Then...Nathan did not cheat on her! That she had misunderstood Nathan all this ti.
As she realized this, she felt a lump gathering in her throat and she felt like crying.
"What now?" She mumbled.
Alora remained silent as she knew that Eunji must have been overwheld by this information.
Minutes later, Eunji saw a car stopping in front of the coffee shop and a man on his forties got out of it.
He had a clean haircut and a freshly shaved face.
She watched him entering the entrance of the coffee shop and then talked to Denis a little bit and then he went upstairs with Denis' lead.
"He's here!" Denis said.
Then, a handso french man greeted Eunji.
"Mr. Laurent." Eunji greeted him and urged him to sit on the seat across her.
"Excuse ...but I was expecting for Agent D to et this afternoon." Mr. Laurent told her since he was indeed expecting to et Agent D since it was how he had known her and not as Devie.
"It's ." She answered shortly.
"Oh!" Mr. Laurent was a little embarrassed because he could not recognize her. He knew that she could shift into many faces just so no one could find out who she really was.
Now, he wondered of who she was this ti.
"Well...what can I do do for you?" He imdiately asked her.
"The thing is...I'm looking for soone. More like I am hunting many people." She said.
"Oh...these people must be really capable enough that they had successfully hidden from you." Mr. Laurent comnted with a smile as he tried to lighten the mood.
But seeing Eunji's poker face, he knew that now's not the ti to do that.
"They're indeed capable but they were not able to hide their movent really well."
"Oh. Then...may I know how could I help you with it?" He asked her.
"I'll send you a list of people in your email and I'll help you in hunting them down." She said.
"But...are they influential people?" He asked her.
"Well, so of them...but I thought no one is above the law?" She asked.
"Well...yes...but it's hard to do it if soone's more powerful and with connections." He admitted imdiately.
"Then...don't worry about their connections. I'll cut them down one by one." She confidently said.
"I just hope that what I'll be doing from now on, the Interpol won't interrupt unless I say so. Let warn you Mr. Laurent, I may not follow the protocol and will kill these people rcilessly." She added not hiding what was in her mind.
"These people are criminals underneath their noble and elegant facade. So...killing them will help you in saving the world from their greed and cris. Use to eliminate them." She said with finality.
Mr. Laurent found it hard to agree with what Eunji had just told him.
"Trust Mr. Laurent. Most of these people I'm talking about had been in your watch list for years. But your office could not do anything to them. Now that I am giving you the opportunity, grab it!"
Eunji's offer was very tempting.
All she wanted was to for the Interpol to cover up her movents towards this people.
She didn't want her situation to be a criminal wanting to kill her fellow criminal. Though it looked like that, she wanted to be treated not a criminal but soone who defended the interest of the greater good.
She wanted her battle with them to be legal. She didn't want to be branded as a criminal again because of punishing and killing those people.
She knew it was hard to achieve given that the law would never tolerate what she wanted to happen.
But she was hoping that Mr. Laurent could help her.
Mr. Laurent looked at Eunji whose eyes were filled with determination.
"Okay. I'll help you." He finally said after giving it a lot of thought.
"One more thing...soone on my list was sowhere else. This person might be inside International Prison." Seeing that Mr. Laurent was willing to help her, she thickened her face and asked him one more thing.
"I want you to capture and place inside the International Prison after I eliminated the people on the list I am giving you." She said.
"What?!" Mr. Laurent imdiately stood up as he was taken aback by her words.
"Sit down. I'm not yet done." She told him.
"Are you out of your mind?! The International Prison is a place where in I have less control of. If you get there, I can't guarantee your safety." Mr. Laurent honestly told her.
"You don't have to worry about that. All I needed is to get there. I'm sure I can get out of there safely." She confidently told him.
"Too much confidence could put you in danger, Agent D." He advised.
"I'm not saying this because I am bluffing. I am saying this because I can."
