Chapter 209 - Lee Jong

Dressed in a casual white shirt and black pants, with his top two buttons undone, Lee Jong walked into the lobby of Lu Enterprises with the charisma and confidence of a star. His wavy brown hair and the dimpled smile flashed as the women in the lobby once again stopped and stared. They wondered which God they had pleased today that they were blessed to see not one but two prime species of male Gods. From the powerful and mysterious CEO to the alluring and glamourous Superstar. 

Agent Joe who was following Lee Jong wanted to role his eyes as everyone stopped and stared. He wanted to warn all those women with stars in their eyes that their idol was a maniac. And there was no use making starry and moony eyes at him! Just then a perfectly coiffed woman walked forward and with a perfectly professional expression on her face walked out to them and greeted, "Welcome Me Lee. Welcome Agent Joe."

Looking down at the extended hand, Lee Jong raised his eyebrow but clasped it for a second before letting go, "Miss Cece. How are you doing?"

The woman gave a strained smile and answered," Well Enough. Thank you for asking. Please follow me to the Chairwoman's office." 

With that she turned her back to the two people, letting them follow her. What she had actually wanted to say was that," No. She was not doing fine! Thanks to him! The idiotic man had gone and talked nonsense about their chairwoman being the woman he admired and then repeated that she was the woman of his dreams in another interview! She had worked hard for this contract! And now because of this big mouth man, she may be forced to let the hard work go drown the drain if the PR decided that this man was not worth the risk of ruining their Chairwoman's reputation. Because if this venture went ahead and he continued to spout all this nonsense, their competitors would get a chance to make useless accusations and created disharmony among the shareholders. Of course when she entered the elevator and turned around, her face did not show her thoughts. She guided the people to the top floor before she briskly knocked and walked into the office. Since Cece was aware that CEO Wolf was also in the office, she was not too shocked but Lee Jong was surprised to see a man sitting behind the desk. Meanwhile Agent Joe, who had placidly followed the people started muttering prayers in his heart! Because he knew this man. After all who had not heard the warning that the mighty CEO Wolf had eyes just like his namesake and his aura too was very similar... They had been tricked into coming here under the name of Chairwoman Xie!

While his agent thought all this, Lee Jong also had the same thoughts running through his head. Even though he had only heard of CEO Wolf, he could guess that only this man would have the nerve to sit in his wife's chair. Smiling thinly, Lee Jong turned to the other woman waiting for an introduction, which she did. "CEO Wolf, this is actor Lee Jong and his agent Joe and Mr. Lee this is CEO Wolf."

The two men had already taken each other's measure and only nodded politely while Agent Joe thanked the lords that the CEO had not spared him a glance. But Lee Dong was unable to stop himself and mentioned," CEO Wolf, it is a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect that you would invite us in Chairwoman Xie's name..." Though it was said as a passing remark, Lee Jong was pleased when the CEO's eyes narrowed showing clearly he had understood the underlying taunt that he was too insecure and had thus invited a man who claimed to be his wife's admirer under a guise. The air suddenly seemed to thicken. Agent Joe gulped and suddenly wondered if his actor had a sudden death wish...

Understanding the underlying tension, Cece cleared her throat and guided the guests to sit on the comfortable sofa that was placed in a corner before explaining, "Chairwoman Xie is a little busy. She will be here in a few moments. Please enjoy our hospitality until then."

Cece moved back a bit to go out and let the secretary in to bring in some refreshments while Joe muttered under his breath," More like enjoy the process of going to the hospital."

Smiling, Lee Dong leaned back on the sofa, uncaring of the atmosphere while Joe sat straight as if he was attending a military briefing. Just then, Yu Seok stood up from his chair and walked towards where they were sitting. Lee Dong ignored the man while Joe shivered in his seat, cursing himself for eating a heavy meal for breakfast. He would have to die if he threw up on the CEO Wolf himself...but his stomach seemed intent on protesting. Just as Joe was about to lose the contents of his stomach, Yu Seok stopped a bit further and without saying a word, picked up the jacket draped on the back of the sofa and walked towards a small door on the other side. A few minutes later, Wolf walked out of the room with a little baby strapped to his chest. The image of the ice emanating aura of the man seemed totally incongruous to the little baby sleeping against him. Not sparing another glance at the two people in the corner, Wolf walked towards the exit. Just as his hand gripped the door handle, he turned back, "Mister Lee. I admire you for having good taste in women. But let me tell you something about my wife- she too has good taste in men...at least now. And between the two of us, I don't need to worry. Enjoy your meeting and Congratulations on your upcoming contract."

It wasn't until the secretary and Cece walked in a few minutes later that the two people closed their mouths which had fallen open from shock.
