"Where are you, Eomma?" Sophie interogated.
"I'm at the company now, baby." She honestly said.
"Really?" Sophie asked like she was doubting her mom's answer.
"Yes, I am. Are you still upset that I left while you're sleeping?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, baby."
"Eomma, you keep on saying sorry yet you always leave when I'm sleeping." Her daughter said.
"I know that's why I'm apologizing right? Don't be upset now please. Eomma will be sad." She softly said.
Silence answered Eunji until she heard a sigh.
"Fine. I'm starting to get used to it anyways." Sophie mumbled and Eunji heard that.
Eunji didn't know how to respond to that.
"Hey, you know Eomma has a reason, right?"
"Yeah."
"Don't be sad. I have an early birthday surprise for you later." She said while trying to coax her sad daughter.
"What is it Eomma? Is it a toy? You know I don't need another one. I already have plenty." Sophie sounded upset.
"It won't be a surprise if I'll tell you. It's not a toy. I promise, you'll love it when you see my surprise tonight baby." She reassured.
"Really?!
"Yes. I'll ask Master Liu and Eomma to bring you here to Seoul so you could see my surprise. Okay?"
"Okay." Sophie said with a little bit of curiousity in it.
After the call ended with a good note, Eunji Master Liu over the phone and asked if he could accompany her mom and Sophie in coming back to Seoul so she could meet her brothers and sister.
Thankfully, Master Liu was available for the night and he was glad to help. He was also looking forward to meet the kids, too.
Eunji was thinking of bringing the kids there but she knew they were tired. And they're with Grandma Sana, too. She's afraid that they're too tired for another two hours of road trip.
After talking to Master Liu, she sent a message to Nathan to inform him that she had arrived safely and that the kids were asleep when she arrived. So she had not seen them yet but she got the chance to talk to Mei.
She received a sweet message from Nathan with an apology for not waking her up. In which she responded with a little angry emoji and a crying emoji.
But then she responded that it was fine and she understood.
Nathan messaged her back saying that he wanted to call her but he was in a very important meeting with the Board of Directors of the company.
Eunji said that it was fine and he should focus on the meeting as she had other things to do, too.
Eunji then called Mr. Laurent to ask for an update with the Luo Brother's case.
"Hello." Mr. Laurent answered it immediately.
"Did they capture them? There's no update on the news so far." She asked.
"The thing is they had escaped. But don't worry, my people are on a man hunt operation to search the brothers."
Upon hearing this, Eunji was calm beause she knew this might happen.
As expected of the brothers. They won't just sit still and wait for the authorities to come knocking on their doorstep.
"Don't bother. It'll be hard to find them without any connection with the people in the underworld." She said.
"Do you have that kind of network?" He asked.
"Yes, I am connected to the black market, the underworld or the mafia world. But I don't personally get the information from them. I have reliable men working for me. Also, I personally steal data and information from the cyberspace. That's how I get my reliable data." She admitted.
And it's easy for her to track down Luo Tian because of this.
"Mr. Laurent, can I be brutally honest with you?" She asked.
"I'm one of the most wanted criminals in the world. Even if I tried to make up with my crimes in the past, I'm still criminally liable, right? Will you arrest me?" She asked seriously as she wanted to make the other person know that she's dead serious about her question.
"Ahm. According to law, yes. You are liable for your crimes and have the rights for trial in front of a judge. But as an interpol officer, I could not just arrest you without the authority of the country police where you are wanted. That's the protocol." He said.
That's why he had tied up with the Beijing Police and the local customs during their operation against the the Luo Brothers.
"You don't understand. If I reveal myself to the world, a lot of people will be more than willing to come and arrest me. But I am picking you to have that privelige."
Mr. Laurent didn't know if he should be glad for the opportunity she had given to him.
'I'll see what I can do with that." He said.
"Good. Then, I want you to arrest me two months from now and make sure that I'll go straight to International Prison." She said.
She had more reasons to go there and get the man.
"If this is again about that, can you not think of going there?" He asked as he really thought she won't be pursuing that idea.
"No. I must go there." She said with conviction.
"As for the Luo Brothers, be on standby. I might kill one of them." She said and ended the call.
After calling, Eunji then made a trip to her secret tech and weapon room.
She decided to clean her weapons and sanitize them together with her needles as she felt like she would be using them in the coming days.
While leaving them soaked in her cleaning solution, she decided to play with her computer for the meantime.
Yes she was tired and jetlagged but she had more important things to settle than laying down in bed. Sleep could wait tonight.
Eunji stretched her upper body to release any pressure accumulated in her body before she sat down. She also pressed her pressure points to help herself.
Doing accupuncture to help with her jetlag never worked. She had done that many times.
Only sleeping worked with it.
As soon as her hands touched the keyboard, the sound of fast typing and mouse clicking sounded inside the room.
She's not actually playing games.
She decided to help Nathan with his problem with the press and also to track Luo Tian in the internet.
"Alora?" She called.
"Mistress." Alora responded this time.
"Are you still upset?"
"No. I'm not upset. I'm an AI assistant. I have no rights to be upset with my master." Alora replied.
"Alora, I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay. I understand. I have crossed the line. And I apologize." Alora cut her.
"No, I'm wrong to reprimand you like that." She admitted.
"It's okay. I no longer mind about that." Alora said.
"Good. So are we good?" Eunji asked.
"We're good." Alora responded.
"Can I ask for help?"
"Anything for you, Mistress."
"Track the Luo Brothers and find out what they're doing." She instructed.
"Already on it." It said.
"Really?"
"Yes. I already thought you might ask me to look on it so I did it in advance." Alora said.
"So you already knew where they are?"
"In one of their properties in Hunan." Alora replied.
"How did you know?"
"I hacked into Luo Tian's car GPS system."
"Good job!"
"Do you know what they are planning now?"
"Based on the messages I got from his and his brother's phone, they're planning to defame husband again."
"Oh? In what way?"
Alora then flashed the messages it got to Eunji's computer.
"Interesting." She said.
"What do you want me to do with them, Mistress?"
"Let me handle the matter with regards to Hubby. For now, I want you to hack the Luo Corp and expose their dirty laundry to the world." She said.
"Also, expose all of his allies in the authorities to the public. I want them to be punished for indirectly or directly ruining the lives of those innocent kids and their mothers who had lost their children because of them."
"Okay!"
And with that, Eunji and Alora became busy working on their task separately.
"You wanted to ruin my husband? Then let me ruin you myself." She mumbled.
Eunji tracked down those phone numbers and she decided to send them a message.
One of them responded with her message and called Nathan with names that Eunji didn't like.
She also found out that this woman was one of the women whom Nathan had been involved in the past. Well, all of them actually.
But still, Eunji had become protective of Nathan and gave the woman a gentle reminder.
"Are you really going to cooperate with the Luo Brothers who are now wanted criminals?" She replied to the woman's message.
"If you'll listen to me, I'll pay with your mother and son's medical expenses. I'll also help you with your custody battle against your husband while you're getting help." She added making the woman to stop responding for a while.
Eunji decided to call her with her untraceable phone sotware and the woman picked it up.
As the call connected, Eunji continued.
"But if you won't cooperate, I'll help your husband take your child from you. After all, you're a struggling mother who had become dependent to drugs." That really hit the spot.
Eunji didn't want to resort to this method as this sounded very cruel.
Well, she would take the child from her but she won't give it to the father either. She'll return the kid back to the mother when she was fine.
The woman dropped the call as soon as she heard Eunji's warning but the latter knew that the former had already gotten the message.
As for the others, she threatened them with a legal case for breaching their signed NDA aside from the contract.
Yes, what Nathan had done to them was wrong. But no one forced them to agree to it. They signed the contract voluntarily.
She won't allow Nathan's name to be ruined over the past that he had regretted.
Eunji decided to send a message to her lawyers to prepare a case against them just in case.
She had also asked them to approach these women one by one in case they would want to negotiate.
After she was done with Nathan's exes, she then proceeded to the media companies which kept on releasing bad articles against Nathan.
In just one click, she was able to hack on their system and found many anomalies. She decided to expose all of them so that the public would question their credibility as a news and media company.
She didn't bother sending them warnings since people like them didn't deserve it anyways.
With regards to the people who would lose their jobs, she had available job vacancies for them.
After she was satisfied with what she had accomplished so far, Eunji stood up from her seat and she stretched her body.
She also removed her weapons from the solution and wiped them dry one by one.
After that, she inserted some on her body and left the rest on the shelf.
After she was done there, she headed out of her secret room and went to her bathroom to have a quick warm bath.
It was already six in the evening when she went out of the bathroom and went inside her walk-in closet.
Eunji changed into her jogger pants and Nathan's T-shirt which she secretly packed when she left Beijing. She didn't bother dying her hair and tied them in a bun instead.
When she was done, she headed out so she could start preparing for their dinner.
Angelina would also be coming over bringing some groceries and help her with the cooking.
As soon as she walked out of her room, squeals and screams of joy welcomed her.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
The three ran towards her for a hug.
"Babies!" Eunji said as she stooped down to welcome her inside her arms.
"I miss you all!" She exclaimed.
"We miss you, too. Mommy!" The three kids said as they hugged her tightly.
Eunji planted each one of them a gentle kiss on the cheeks and forehead.
"Mommy smells so good!" Little Midori said after he sniffed her.
"Yeah!" Little Eve seconded.
"Aigoo! You all smells good, too." She said as she gently rubbed the top of their head making them to giggle.
Eunji then got up with the boys clinging around her leg while she carried little Eve in her arms.
"Kids! Let go of your Mom. You're gonna tire her." Mei said as she reminded the kids.
"It's okay Mom. They're not that heavy. But kids, you should let go. I don't want the three of you to get hurt." She gently said.
She won't be able to carry the three of them at the same time. She only had two arms not three.
Though they were reluctant to let her go, Little Aoi and Little Midori obeyed their mother while little Eve giggled when she saw her brothers pouting on the side.
While they were on that position, the elevator sounded and Angelina with Lee Yunha and Baek Dae-jung following behind her came out bringing bags of groceries in their arms.
The three greeted Mei and proceeded to the kitchen right away.
Eunji then decided that it's better to let them inside Sophie's playroom when she's cooking.
So she unlocked the door with the password and opened it.
She then observed the boys as they followed her inside.
"Mommy? Whose toys are those? They looked like the same with Eve's toys." Little Midori immediately asked as soon as they got inside the room.
"And Mommy? Who's that little girl that is with you in the picture?" The eldest curiously asked.
The brothers had asked Mei about it but Mei too had no idea who the little girl was.
Mei was also curious with the child's identity.
"Ahm...those are your-"
But the elevator sounded making Eunji to stop.
"They're here!" She said making the kids to frown.
"Who Mom?" Little Aoi asked.
Eunji didn't answer him but instead she grabbed his hand and asked little Midori to hold onto his brother.
With her lead, they walked out of the room to go to the living room.
There, she saw Sophie standing beside Layla and Master Liu. She was frowning and confused.
It was the first time that she saw Mei and Sana after all.
"Eomma?" Sophie asked as soon as she saw Eunji
But when she saw her mother carrying a little girl, Sophie got a little jealous. And this didn't go unnoticed to Eunji.
"Mom?" Little Aoi also looked at Eunji and asked his mother.
"Come." She beckoned Sophie to come to her.
And Sophie obeyed her mom.
Eunji then spoke to introduce the siblings while she sat on the carpeted floor surrounded with her children.
"Sophie, baby....meet your triplets."
