'Feed him?' Kim Eunji paused as she tried to think on what she should do.
She thought that he had been treating her good.
Isn't it appropriate that she should return the favor? And besides, she's here as his wife aside from delivering him the bento. Above all, she loved the man.
She should spoil him too.
"Okay. But promise to not do anything stupid while I'm feeding you." She sternly reminded him.
"I promise that I won't. I'm the most well-behaved person in the world. And besides, you're the one feeding me. How can I dare to misbehave?"
Another chair was being brought beside Nathan where Kim Eunji sat comfortably.
Kim Eunji picked the chopsticks and fed Nathan the Loaded Vegie Chowmien that she personally cooked.
"Mm." A sexy yet soft moan escaped from Nathan's lips the moment the dish entered his mouth.
"Do you like it?" She nervously asked.
Yes, she could cook but sometimes she got lazy to do it that she only relied on fast food restaurants or instant food in the past.
Though she was confident of her cooking skills, ever since she got into an accident, she had not been to the kitchen since Nathan's people were all over. The latest memory that she could remember was a year ago. Therefore, she was unconfident about the dish and this made her to be worried.
But her doubts immediately dissipated when Nathan gave her a genuine smile and said, "Heavenly."
"Good. I cooked it."
"No wonder this tastes heavenly as an angel had cooked this especially for me." Nathan sweetly smiled.
"Sweet talker!" Kim Eunji mumbled.
This display of affection between the couple extremely surprised his employees.
They could not believe that their cold and tyrant CEO could really smile and could be this affectionate towards someone.
They knew about his reputation, yes but every time they saw that rumored woman coming inside the company, only the receptionist would receive her and Nathan would not even let the latter to hold him, unless he initiated the contact.
They already guessed who Kim Eunji was in his life. So they made a mental note to not offend her in the future. Well, not all had the same mindset and opinion as the rest.
Oblivious to what his employees' thoughts towards them, Nathan wanted to tease his wife more but before he could even start, they were interrupted.
"Ahem! Excuse me Chairman I think we should proceed now." It was one of the directors who interrupted them and he immediately earn a glare from Nathan.
"Don't. He's doing his job." Kim Eunji stopped Nathan.
"--__--" Everyone.
"Alright. Proceed!"
The next presenter immediately stood up. From his demeanor alone, one could see that he's nervous.
Kim Eunji felt sorry for the guy but decided that if he could not survive the pressure, then he had no rights to stay in the company anymore.
The guy, though he stuttered, somehow managed to do his presentation well.
Nathan on the other hand was busy being fed by his wife.
Though he had finished eating half-way through the presentation, Nathan's attention was more focused on his wife.
He let Kim Eunji to sit on his lap this time. Eunji protested at first but seeing that the people around her had their attention to the presenter in front, she let Nathan do what he wanted. And besides, she missed his scent.
It was more like, she missed being cradled by him.
The suffocating tension did not return. On the contrary, a warm atmosphere could be felt all over the room.
As soon as the presentation finished, the tense atmosphere came back as they waited for Nathan to say his remarks and asks some questions.
However, as soon as they looked at him, they were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Nathan was cradling Kim Eunji who was now peacefully sleeping on his arms. He was holding her like his life depends on her. His right arm was stroking the strands of her hair while his left arm was holding her upper body steadily. He was tenderly looking at her peacefully sleeping face.
Kim Eunji head was resting on his broad chest as her face facing the right side showing her perfect side profile.
The scene was so sweet and fascinating that for a moment, silence enveloped the whole room. It was not an eerie nor an awkward silence but a comforting and warm one.
Nathan's love for Kim Eunji was radiating in the atmosphere. And it was pure and genuine with no mix of malicious intentions and deceptions.
Nobody dares to speak as they wanted to appreciate the beautiful scene even longer.
They felt themselves lucky to witness this one of a kind phenomenon. They finally saw Satan falling in love with a heavenly Goddess.
Sensing everybody's gazes towards them, Nathan looked up and cleared his throat.
This action made Kim Eunji to stir on her sleep making Nathan to gently rub her shoulder and whispered sweet words in her ear.
Kim Eunji hummed and smiled in her sleep making Nathan to smile and kissed the top of her head.
He then called Marco and the latter immediately came forward. "I want to make a broadcast." He simply instructed with his voice as quiet as he could to not wake his wife.
Marco nodded and Nathan pulled back a bit to let Marco set up the table for the broadcast. Gladly, his executive seat had wheels attached to every leg therefore the transition was smoothly done and Kim Eunji was not awaken by it.
Marco pressed the LCD screen embedded on the table in which Nathan had activated with the use of his biometrics earlier. He pressed some keys and an opening hole was seen in the table with a camera slowly brought upward from it.
Then Marco tapped some keys on the keyboard and as soon as he finished, the camera lighted up and the monitor which displayed the presentation earlier was now showing Nathan cradling the sleeping deity.
At the same time, every devices which was connected to the same network automatically became an instant screen showing the same video feed like in the conference room.
This includes the employees' mobile phones which was connected to the WLAN service of the company.
A group of male employees who were playing an RPG game immediately cursed when their live playing was being interrupted by the broadcast but had bitten their tongues when they realized what was going on.
Inside the conference room, as soon as he received the go signal, Nathan geared up for the announcement that he was about to make. Clearing his throat gently this time, he moved closer to the table.
"I know all of you are curious on who she is in my life." He started making everyone to nod their heads as a response.
"As much as I want all of you to know who she is in my life, that matter was not up to me to decide. She's not yet ready to let all of you know. Rest assured, she'd be visiting the company in the future." Nathan paused as he carefully looked at each one of their faces seriously.
"When that time comes, I want all of you to respect her the same as how you respect me. Insulting her was also insulting me. Anyone who dares to insult or bully her should be punished. Remember that I know all of your every move inside the company." He finally sent his full warning message to everyone.
Nathan's statement was loud and clear. If he could not speak about it directly, he chose the subliminal method of expressing that Kim Eunji was his. That he only belonged to her alone. They're a couple.
That it was not because he wanted to hide their relationship to everyone. In fact he was proud to have her with him. The vital key was on her. She held the final say as to when they would announce it. And for the status? They could only speculate.
But seeing the sparkling ring being so obvious on her left ring finger, they now had an idea on who she was. They're future lady boss.
"Since she's still not ready, I don't want to hear any news nor gossips about the two of us. Including the fact that this broadcast had happened for her sake. I don't want her to feel that I threatened all of you to treat her better. She had her temper and I don't want to be on her bad side."
Of course he promised to keep the marriage private. Also he had not yet announced to the world that he's married. Thankfully he hadn't do it yet as if he did, this warning would be useless.
The last part made them equally amused making the employees outside the conference room to laugh in amusement as some of them were married while the rest were in a relationship and they could relate to it.
Those inside the room also managed to make a soft chuckle but Nathan did not mind it.
Nathan knew Kim Eunji's tendency to be shy when being talked about. Therefore, he had to warn them so that everyone would be mindful with their actions when she's around his company.
This way he could freely express his affection towards his wife without making the latter to freak out or make her anxious.
He wanted to create an environment where they could be freely themselves aside from their home and when with his friends.
This announcement was not only limited for Bai Corp. but also to the two companies under his name.
The moment he started the live broadcast, his other two companies also received the same broadcast feed. But this time it was for those employees who were currently connected and had the access to the cloud server.
Nathan had taken advantaged Net International's Cloud Server and technology for this. But he never cared a bit about it.
"And remember the confidentiality agreement that you had signed. Anyone who dares to violate every conditions stipulated on the agreement should expect the worst punishment. No matter what your position is, I'll hunt you down!"
If the first three-fourth of his announcement was light and easy going, this time it turned into a three hundred and sixty-five degree turn as Nathan's demeanor shifted emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. His face turned dark and his gaze was full of authority.
Yes, just like how many days the Earth revolved around the Sun, that was also how his mood shifted.
Those who were watching on their mobile phones almost dropped their phones while the others almost peed on their pants because of the oppression they felt even if they're only watching him on screen.
But it instantly changed when Kim Eunji reached out and touched his cheek subconsciously.
He tenderly held her hand and slowly kissed her knuckles and held it.
This simple action made them dumbfounded.
The atmosphere suddenly became normal as if that oppression did not happen.
Sensing that he had delivered his message, he ended the live broadcast.
Marco then took over and keep everything in the table back to its order and the conference room to where it paused.
"Your presentation still needed some polishing. Over-all it was passable but I'm not satisfied with it. You're lucky that m- she came." Realizing that he almost slipped, Nathan paused and continued, "Or else I would be firing you."
Looking at the time on his clock, he paused and looked at everyone.
"I'll give all of you the time to revise your garbage presentations and I want them in my table first thing in the morning tomorrow."
Though he said that, this time he was looking at Tang Hao.
They had to gave their presentation to Tang Hao as soon as possible or else they would be going straight to the Accounting Department for their final payments.
"This includes those who failed earlier."
Nathan decided that if he would give them another chance, he would do it to the rest to make it fair.
"Meeting adjourned." Nathan secured Kim Eunji's position and carried her princess style.
Nathan's movement was so gentle in order to not wake her up.
Everyone bowed down their heads in order to not offend Nathan.
They only looked up when they made sure the couple were no longer around.
They still could not believe what had just happened. Some even pinched themselves to make sure they're not dreaming.
Some also regretted for not being able to document the whole scene just in case he would suddenly change his mind. But with Nathan's majestic presence, would they dare to do it?
Of course not!
Those outside the conference room and was only being able to watch the live broadcast, they were also in shock and in disbelief.
However, could they dare approach Nathan and asked if what they had just witnessed on the feed was true and not some prank pulled by him?
Absolutely not!
Though they had different opinions about what they had seen in the live broadcast, there's no harm to obey his rules. This way their life would be easy.
And it seems like having the Miss (Kim Eunji) around more often would be good news for them as she could cut off his horns little by little making Nathan to become a cool CEO and not the Satanic boss that they knew.
