Tzuyu turned on the lamp in her house. The house she left before her mother got the surgery. That day was the busiest ever day for her. She didn't even get to sleep after her mother's surgery. She had visited her mother, but the nurse preferred her to get some sleep because she looked deadly tired. Her mother's condition was stable already, but still unconscious which might be caused by her age. She put her heels on the shoe rack tiredly.

The house she left for two days was still neat and the same as she left. Her house was tidy and clean for someone busy with her work and also with her hospitalized mother. She went to her dressing table and cleaned up her makeup before she get a refreshing shower.

After she got a refreshing bath, she took ramen from her kitchen drawer to fill her empty stomach. She turned on the stove and boiled the water. Waiting for the boiling water, she took her phone and scrolled for the picture of her and Yeojin that day. 'Yeojin's face didn't resemble her dad's face, It just a little bit of CEO's facial feature on her.' She chuckled imagining that Yeojin's mother had a stronger gen that could beat CEOs.

"How lucky her mother is? She doesn't need to be jealous of her Dad, because Yeojin just takes a little bit of Daepyonim's feature." She giggled.

"Ani... where is her mother? How pitiful Yeojin is.." but she turned sad knowing the fact that Yeojin might miss her mother so much, until she called her 'Mom'. She exhaled her breath hard.

She put the ramen in the water after hearing the sound of boiled water moving the pot lid.

Tzuyu sat on the receptionist's seat, typing on her computer for the weekly report that should be done that day, before the weekend.

"Ahhhh! Finished." Dahyun stretched her arms highly and shouted happily. "I should inform Eunwoo oppa to pick me up." Dahyun was smiling like crazy and focusing on chatting with him.

"Date again? Seems like he is well-trained. " Tzuyu asked her while her eyes were still absorbed in the computer.

"Bingo! Tzuyu. His latest book became a best seller...so he brings me up for shopping." Dahyun smiled like a fool remembering her most loyal boyfriend.

"Oppss. I'm sorry, Tzuyu." Dahyun then realized what she had said for some minutes. She shut her lips tightly.

"It's okay. I'm really fine here." Tzuyu replied casually. Dahyun who felt wrong, nudging at her shoulder lightly.

"Ahh. Shouldn't you have one, Tzuyu? So, we can do a double date together." Dahyun tried to break the ice to divert the latest topic happily, hugging her tightly.

"Forget it, how can I have one?" Tzuyu replied flatly.

"Yah, Tzuyu. But you are an Mom now." Dahyun said out of nowhere, teasing Tzuyu after hearing a girl called Tzuyu her 'Mom' to distract Tzuyu from her latest reckless words. Her shoulder shrugged on Tzuyu's and made a wink with a deep-meaning smile on her.

"I am not! Dahyun-ya " Tzuyu stopped her activity and faced her.

"Yah! Tzuyu, don't you know that our CEO is a single father?" Dahyun brought her seat toward Tzuyu's in a hurry.

"I know," Tzuyu said casually which surprised Dahyun. Hearing those casual words in Tzuyu's mouth made Dahyun cover her mouth.

"OMO! OMO! Tzuyu. How can you know?" Dahyun added digging her curiosity and brought her upper body near Tzuyu's.

"Just know." Tzuyu shrugged her shoulders a little bit tilting her head aside.

"But, Eonni... the mother was still a mystery," Dahyun said dramatically. Tzuyu's mind went to the day when the CEO was approached by a woman in a restaurant when she was with him. The woman might be linked to him, which is unreachable for Tzuyu to dig her curiosity about her most mysterious CEO.

"She might be there outside. "

"You know that too?" Dahyun widened her eyes in shock. "Don't tell me that you know why our CEO brings his daughter with him to work lately ?" Dahyun asked her. Tzuyu who was startled by the question started thinking.

"Uhmm...why? I don't know." Tzuyu replied blinking her eyes.

"The gossip said that because the former nanny and his assistant abused the daughter," Dahyun whispered to her. Tzuyu covered his mouth, surprised by the unbelievable fact.

"How pity she is... that is why I saw some almost healing wounds and bruises on her hands and legs," Tzuyu remembered the first time she hold her, the little girl wiggled on her hug, feeling uneasy, and kept crying.

Unconsciously, while she caressed her lightly, she saw some bruises on Yeojin's hands which shocked her more.

It was the first time she thought that it might be her CEO who did it, but on the other hand, her CEO talk smoothly and lovingly to Yeojin at that time. She ever thought that the CEO was the most bastard man when suddenly, it turned out that it was someone else who did that. Knowing this fact, she felt bad for Yeojin.

"And now how about our CEO's life?" Tzuyu carefully asked Dahyun and grew her curiosity toward him. She put her body faced Dahyun totally, digging into her CEO information which interested her more.

"He is searching for a trusted Nanny, while he is searching, he brings his daughter with him. He is still being traumatized by Nanny and daycare things. How good he is as a father?" Dahyun put her chin on her hands and acted cutely.

"It must be the reason why our CEO's suit looked a bit untidy," Tzuyu mumbled sighing.

"If I am good enough as a woman, I am willingly become his girl." Dahyun imagined her hand clapping like praying, smiling. Tzuyu knocked her head lightly.

"Yahh." Tzuy burst into laughter.

"Yah! Eonni, why don't you be the one? Yeojin and the CEO seem to like you so much." Dahyun asked her randomly.

"Which one? Nanny? Girlfriend?" Tzuyu blushed red after she said those blunt words, playing with Dahyun's game.

"Both of them. Yaaahh! don't you say that you want to be the one?" Dahyun said casually teasing and nudging Tzuyu's shoulder.

"YAH! Are you kidding me?" Tzuyu cleared her throat and turned her facial expression into the flat one. Their conversation suddenly was interrupted by the voice of Tzuyu's phone. The unknown number appeared on her phone screen and vibrated on the top of the desk. Tzuyu took the phone and picked up the call carefully.

"Tzuyu is here. Hello?" Tzuyu answered the call politely.

"Tzuyu-ssi. I am Jungkook." the familiar voice greeted her and it was the CEO.

"Yes, Daepyonim."  Tzuyu sat straight automatically after hearing the voice like she usually did.

"Daepyonim? Huh?" Dahyun mumbled unconsciously, the one who was also surprised put her ear closer to the phone so that she could hear her CEO's voice.

"I'm sorry for disturbing but..." He stopped for a while. "can you help me today, Tzuyu-ssi?" the manly nervous voice could be heard after he cleared his throat.
