[BOOK 2] The Typhoons wife

Chapter 237 - Piece Of Furniture

While Alicia spoke to Neil,Ryu was ready to leave for the office after having served breakfast to Ru.Ryu looked at his son whose head was bent,looking into the gadget that he held in his hand.He thought back to the past days when his son would chatter non stop.But it seemed those days were now gone.Currently they were waiting for Al to come so they could leave.

Alicia came back with a thoughtful and weird expression on her face.Ryu almost wondered what she had done to Neil.Whenever Al had a gloating expression on her face Neil was the one suffering and vice versa.Poor Neil.This time.

Once Alicia was back,she took away the gadget in Ru’s hand and then ruffling his hair said,”Get out of the virtual world and come to back to the real.Come here and let me kiss you or you will feel embarsaaed outside the school gates.”

Reluctantly(pretending to ),Ru hugged his mother and then his father and the family got into the car to go to their destinations.

Dropping of Ru at school,Ryu and Al drove towards the company while Al fillid him in about what Neil had discovered and his suspicions.

The company had been in a frenzy ever since the news of Ryu Long’s return to the country had been announced.As the CEO,Ryu Long had obviously visited the company headquarters many times in the past two years but all those had always been flying visits as he had shifted his base to Country A.Matt Long had then handled the company affairs as CFO with Assistant Kim working as a liasion between the two places.And now with Ryu Long’s return,everyone was excited what would happen in the future.

Since the entrance of the building was surrounded by press reporters,Ryu drove the car directly into the VIP car park.Just then,Al received a call from the company in country A and stayed back to answer,gesturing for Ryu to go ahead,which he did.Taking the private elevator that went directly to his office,Ryu reached up to see his employees, many old and new rushing out to greet him.

Ryu thanked everybody for their kind gestures and proceeded to his office followed by Assistant Kim.Once the CEO had gone inside,the people also dispersed like bees leaving behing only three secretaries.Considering the hot topic that was their boss,they could not stop gossiping.

One of the secretaries noticed that the other two’s attires were clearly more seductive than usual and she remarked on that.The other two secretaries just looked at each other and then at the third one with pity.Deciding to explain and humiliate her a bit in the process,they said,”Ryu Long has returned.And so have the chances in one or both of us being chosen as his mistress.So the earlier you strike the better.”

The third secretary’s mouth fell open,”But he is married!Are you saying you wore these clothes to seduce him?”Of course came the answer in unison.

The second secretary then scoffed,”What marriage?Everyone knows that nobody is allowed to take Ryu Long’s wife’s name.Even when they got married,there was a scandal that he had married her to cover his ex wife’s murder.And have you heard anyone mention her name again.Two years and Ryu Long came back so many times but did you hear of his wife’s arrival?No.”

The first secretary nodded and said,”Ryu Long must have been alone for so long now.The women in Country A are not as beautiful as the ones in our country and Ryu Long would certainly appreciate some good scenery.”

The third secretary looked at the other two in disbelief.They had no problem objectifying themselves and treating themselves with no self esteem.

She tried to preach them but obviously they were not ready to listen.”Even then ,he is married.Why would you want to become a mistress and degrade yourselves by wearing such short and revealing clothes?Both of you are beautiful and smart!It would be better to be someone’s wife,wouldn’t it?”

The second secretary rolled her eyes at that and said,”We can become a wife anytime but being a mistress to a rich and good looking man like Ryu Long would actually be more profitable and enjoyable.”

“Yes,”the first secretary said with a wink,”Imagine all that power unleashed on you in bed.”

Unknown to them,someone was leaning on the door frame listening to their conversation with amusement.Not wanting to hear more,she cleared her throat and diverted their attention to herself.The first secretary checked her out by giving her a once over and the second just looked at her disdainfully.The third was more professional and feeling guilty for gossiping during working hours so asked extra politely,”How may I help you?”

Alicia looked her over and said in the same tone,”You cannot.But these two can!Are you trying to give out tips on how to seduce Ryu Long?Then let me tell you a secret.”The first and the second secretary felt her gaze fall to their bodies and almost felt goosebumps arise.There was something weird in the way she looked at them and spoke.”Forget you low cut blouses and short skirts,even if you were to prance in there in the nude,Ryu Long would think you were part of the furniture and not bother “
