Chapter 119 - Date Night

Grandfather Yoo sat staring at the door angrily. He had only just fully recovered and heard the entire news from his staff.He was angry at Yoo Shiro for intervening but also grateful that the boy was finally taking interest in staying. He was also eager to talk to Shiro about the possibility of his brother returning 

Just then,the man door was opened and the butler brought in the handsome man.Like his twin, Yoo Shiro also possessed a commanding aura and his grandfather was pleased that the boy was ready to take the mantle of responsibility.Shiro had always been an obedient boy but after the kidnapping,it was almost as if his personality had been swapped. The changes had not been seen initially and the old man had attributed all those changes to the grief and loss of his twin but as the years had passed and Shiro had neglected everything in favor of gaming and partying and living the high life, Grandfather Yoo had given up hope of having a responsible heir. Oh, the boy was very smart in business and most people in their company listened to him but he had never shown any interest innit and would have to be forced or dragged to participate .But these days when he had been sick,he had been relieved to see the precvious serious self of his grandson.

But instead of the boy coming, Grandfather Yoo was disappointed that it was not Shiro but his assistant.The assistant almost trembled when he felt the old master's gaze on him and cursed tee master for making him the bearer of bad news. But he breathed deeply and answered,"Old Master..The master said that he is happy that you are recovering well.He asks that you rest tonight and he will come see you tomorrow.He...He has a blind date tonight and does not wish to miss it." The last words were said in a rush as the assistant was worried that the old master would be offended that the master had ignored him in favor of going on a date. But he was amazed when the old master gave a big grin and asked,"What?Shiro is going on a date?Tell me more about it.." 

Assistant:".." Why did he feel that the old master was behaving like an old gossipy woman??

At the restaurant:

Yoo Shiro glanced at the watch on his wrist for the tenth time in as many minutes while thinking to himself, he had never waited for anyone like this.Even in school, the teachers would be in class before he went in. But this girl was late.. Was that the norm these days? He scoffed at this and thought to himself that if it was not for getting more information about that will and Xie Eun, he would have long left.Ha!In face he would never have come..

Just then a girl with spunky slightly curly hair walked in. Since his gaze was fixed in the door, he recognized the girl from the pictures even as his eyebrows raised at the difference. The picture he had was of a powerful and young attorney while the girl that entered looked like a bohemain hipster.She wore a loose white blouse and multi colored and patterned long length skirt. The big hoop earrings on her ears were mismatched and he wondered if that was because she was absent minded or some sort of a fashion statement. But just as he was about to raise his hand to acknowledge,her gaze skipped over him and she turned back. His eyes widened and he wondered if the woman was near sighted. Even if she did not know him,if a man as handsome as himself was sitting there,she should have taken a second look. 

Shan Shan,who had been coerced to go on this blind date,went back to the host station and asked with a frown,"Are you sure that Mr Yoo Shiro is inside already?" 

She had purposely come in late because she had no intention of pleasing the partner for tonight and in fact hoped that the other party would leave angrily. But the hostess had indicated that the person had come and was waiting for her. But inside,most of the tables were occupied and no one was sitting alone. Her aunt usually found nerds for her and the only man sitting inside was not a nerd. Her heartbeat fastened at the thought that,that man could be her date tonight but then she assured herself that such a man good looking man would not need to go on a blind date..

The hostess,smiled politely at the odd looking woman and showed her the way. Inside though,she felt it was a pity that such a handsome man was going to have to suffer from such a date. Once the hostess had guided her to the table with the handsome man,Shan Shan felt her eyes widen in disbelief.Where did her aunt find such a good looking specimen?

She was almost tempted to go back and change into her regular suit and combed back hairstyle. But then she remembered that she was not here for an official meeting nor did she want a boyfriend,so her present clothing was fine. She smiled and thanked the snooty hostess(she had noticed the salivating expression) and sat opposite the man who had stood up when she reached him.The man had the looks and the manners.So there was only one thing that would make him want to go on a blind date.A horrible personality. But,she decided there was no need for her to be obnoxious if the man could reasonably back out, But there was something about the man that was making her instinct go crazy..

Yoo Shiro really wanted to escape even before the girl has sat down. He did not want to date this girl..His type was the sexy and confident businesswoman not this..this butterfly kind..But he reminded himself,his goal was not a partner but Xie Eun. (Author: Yoo Shiro..you are turning out to be scum..I thought to make you my second lead but now.. Yoo Shiro:Author?Who said second leads cannot be scum? Cheng Mo(hopeful face):Author please consider me..)

Trying to make the girl feel comfortable,Yoo Shiro smiled and said,"Miss Wen.I have heard a lot about you.It is nice to finally meet you."

Wen Shan felt her jerk alert radar go on high alert. She knew from this single line that this man was as sincere as a murderer!) So she went on the offensive and smiled suavely,"Really? If you have only heard about me then you know nothing! Let me tell you,I am twenty five tears old and..."Shan Shan then went on a monologue where she subjected Yoo Shiro to her childhood escapades,her favorite foods,her favorite dresses and even her favorite shoes not letting Yoo Shiro saying a word in edgewise. When she had no other topic left,(like a true ARMY)she did not hesitate to talk about her favorite band BTS and all the records they had recently broken with their latest album "Dynamite."

After an hour of listening to Wen Shan and watching her only stop to eat,Yoo Shiro felt that his head would explode any minute. It was only when dessert was served did he breathe a sigh of relief that there was a pause for a few minutes. But that relief was short as Shan Shan soon started to even discuss the good looks of her favorite band members and spoke how V was her favorite. 

At the end of his tether,Yoo Shiro ditched all his plans about seducing information out of the girl and his only thought was to escape. But he could not help but ask one question before they departed..but he forgot that curiosity killed the cat..

"Why are you wearing two different ear rings?"And the answer took another forty minutes which caused him to sit for an after dinner coffee also..

Finally,after making his escape,he breathed deeply and took out his cell phone and answered,"Does this Miss Wen Shan also have a twin?Why is her information incomplete? She is insane!"

It was only after the confused assistant answered him did Yoo Shiro realize that he had been played by a master.. Wen Shan Shan was a cunning woman who had been on numerous blind dates and successfully waded her way out of that..He shook his head as the girl's wide and beguiling eyes flashed in front of him. Dialing another number,he waited for the other person and spoke into the phone,"Aunt,I loved talking to your niece but she was too shy so I did not ask for her number.And I am not too sure if she liked me..Can you please arrange another date for us?But please don't tell her in case she refuses..I would be really saddened..Oh that contract..of course I will ask my assistant to contact you.."

Wen Shan who was celebrating her success suddenly sneezed and wrinkled her nose cutely..unaware of the trap that her opponent had laid..
