Mischa didn't want to make Fae feel cornered. He just nodded casually.
"Of course. I won't be in Moravia for long, either. At most, I only need an assistant for 4-5 months. When I go, you can continue working here until you feel it's time to quit," said Mischa.
Fae blinked when she heard Mischa's words.
Wait a minute ...
How come this feels too much, huh?
She looked at the handsome man with a face full of questions.
"Sir, why are you so nice to me?" she asked firmly. "Did you give me special treatment because you thought I was your missing foster sister?"
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Mischa probingly.
Mischa immediately felt like his cover was blown. He knew Vega was very smart. Was Fae really Vega? And now the girl looked at him suspiciously.
"You are right." Finally, Mischa confessed.
"Oh ..." Fae didn't know how to respond. In her heart, she felt that it was fortunate for her to have a face similar to the missing girl. Now she could get preferential treatment from the big boss at RMI.
But she felt bad because she seemed to take advantage of the suffering of another girl. She didn't know where the girl was now.
"You are very similar to her. And she also speaks 5 languages like you ..." said Mischa quietly. "But I don't want to give you false hopes. You may not be her."
Fae laughed. "Of course, I'm not her. If I were someone else, I think I will remember."
A moment later, she fell silent.
In fact, she didn't remember anything about her past. Fae's voice became choked. Her memory drifted to the news she had read about the Linden family's missing daughter. Wasn't Mischa Rhionen closely related to that family?
Was.. the foster sister that he was referring to was Vega Linden????
"You may have heard of the Vega Linden kidnapping case." Again Mischa seems to be able to read Fae's mind. He finally told her about who exactly the person he was looking for.
Fae took a step back involuntarily. She was very surprised when she heard Mischa confirm her suspicion.
Was... was she really Vega Linden?
That means .. she still had a family!
Then what really happened to her all this time? Why did she get separated from them and end up in Rhine? Then why did she have old photos with her parents, and who were the Mullers to her?
"Sir .. do you.. think..I .. I am Vega Linden?" Fae asked Mischa in a choked voice. She stared at the man in wide-eye while pressing her lips.
Mischa didn't answer. He slowly stepped to his computer and turned on the screen. Earlier, he almost saw the result if Fae didn't hurry to knock on the door.
Fae followed Mischa's steps with her eyes and stared at the computer screen that was now turned on.
Mischa pressed a button to open the message that had come in and immediately saw the results of the report he was waiting for.
The man let out a disappointed sigh. His head turned, and he looked at Fae apologetically.
"Apparently, I was wrong again ... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable," said the man in a choked voice.
The report said the fingerprints didn't match.
At first, he was very sure that Fae was Vega. He had cultivated hope in his heart. But now he had to swallow his disappointment again. In fact, you could say that his disappointment was bigger now than ever... because he was so hopeful.
Fae felt her chest churn. It was suffocating as if she was being pushed back by a huge rock. She did not think, for a few seconds, she really hoped that she was not Fae Muller.. but Vega Linden.
Ah ... well, of course. It's too good to be true, right? When it's too good to be true, it probably is.
Why did she, a village girl, dare to dream so high?
"Sir, now it has been proven that I am not your foster sister that you are looking for. Does that mean ... I can no longer work for you?" asked Fae in a disappointed voice.
She now understood that she got all the special treatment and was even offered to live in the penthouse with Mischa because her boss thought she was someone else.
Now, after it was proven that she was just Fae Muller ... was it possible that Mischa would just throw her away?
This thought made Fae feel like crying.
"What do you mean by saying that?" asked Mischa with a confused expression. "Are you trying to find an excuse so you don't have to work for me? You still have a lot of work piling up. Don't you forget that you promised to take some overtime and come to the royal gala with me."
Fae was stunned by her boss's words. She immediately realized that Mischa did not want to throw her away even though the man already knew that Fae was not Vega Linden.
The girl felt very touched, and impulsively, she had rushed out and hugged Mischa with all her might.
No one had ever been so kind and caring for her, like Mischa.
Ah .. Ren used to be kind and caring for her, but he had many terms and conditions. Loving Ren was tiring and made Fae sad.
This time .. finding a person who was so kind to her unconditionally and without expecting anything in return, just because Fae reminded her of his missing foster sister, really touched Fae's heart.
It turned out that Mischa's attitude towards her didn't change at all. Fae felt so lucky to have such a good boss like Mischa Rhionen!
"I will not disappoint you. I promise I will do my best ... I will not embarrass you at the royal gala, or in the company, and I will make sure all your needs are properly taken care of..." she cried against Mischa's chest.
The man was still shocked by Fae's sudden action, so he became embarrassed.. Mischa didn't feel like he was doing anything special, he was just behaving like a good human being.
