An unassuming company quietly launched a few days later. It was small but had quite a domineering name.

White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services.

Its registered owner was Wonjae and had, for now, two employees who were also his cousins.

However, it was interesting to note that the two employees called someone else their boss. Their cousin Jae said that he wasn't the real boss but someone named Louis Manoban. Due to a special situation, he decided to lend his name and become the registered owner on paper of the virtual assistant company. The way their cousin described it sounded shady so they couldn't help but worry at first.

"You're not doing something illegal, are you?" they asked him.

"Illegal? What are you talking about? Your gorgeous cousin will never do something like that!" Jae denied in an overdramatic voice as usual. "Rest assured that this is a legitimate company. Don't worry about that. Do you think that I'll recruit you into something illegal? If I do that, my Momsy together with your own momsies will surely murder me! Ah! I don't want to die yet without meeting my soulmate!"

His two cousins agreed with him regarding their frightening mothers. Their initial doubts about the job offer also started to disappear.

"And I'll tell you something very important but don't tell anyone else. It's a secret," Jae said in a conspiratorial tone.

"What is it?"

"Do you remember the real boss' surname?" Jae quizzed them.

"It's Manoban, right? His name is Louis Manoban, if I remember correctly," one cousin said.

"Wait. Isn't your sir boss' surname also Manoban? Are they related to each other?" the other cousin asked.

"Bingo! White Tigress is actually backed by my sir boss Lisa himself, that's why you don't need to worry about this being illegal. Remember that my sir boss is the head of Manoban Corporation, one of the biggest companies in Asia that has influence all over the world. He won't risk his name and reputation to back a small, illegal company."

"Then why won't your sir boss just openly back this company or maybe even take it as a subsidiary of Manoban Corporation? Then White Tigress won't need to start from scratch like this."

"Hmph! It's because sir boss wants Baby Lou—I mean Louis to learn the value of hard work and not expect everything to be served to him in a silver platter!" Jae told them.

"Baby Lou? Is that the real boss' nickname? How cute~"

"Hmph! Of course Louis is cute! But you have to be professional and don't call him by his nickname or you'll bring shame to me, your most handsome, beautiful and gorgeous cousin ever who recommended you! I recruited you not just because we're family but because you also speak the language. But if you don't do a good job, I'm sure I can find other more suitable candidates, even if they're not from our family!"

In the end, the two cousins were persuaded to work for the small, start-up company White Tigress after feeling reassured that Lisa, President-CEO of the giant Corporation, was the one personally backing it.

When they finally had the chance to speak to their new boss via voice call, they were very surprised at how young he sounded. He sounded like a child, for goodness' sake! He was also very weird because he kept on meowing and purring. Maybe he had some issues in the mental department, that was why their cousin Jae was asked to lend his name as the registered owner. A boss like this who acted like a cat would definitely drive away potential clients no matter how adorable he was. Despite this, they still signed the contract and became the first employees of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services.

Their initial impression of their Boss Louis wasn't good because of his childish voice and overall weirdness but when they finally started working, they were shocked at his abilities. What the freaking fuck?! Was he still human? He was like a freaking robot!

"Damn. I think our boss is a genius or something."

"Yeah. Maybe he's one of those who has...what is it called again? Savage syndrome?"

"Savant syndrome, you idiot."

"Yeah, that one!"

"I agree. Come to think of it, doesn't our Cousin Jae always brag that his boss, the goddess Jennie Kim, is a genius? She invents new musical techniques like nothing and can speak more than ten languages and I heard that her new business sells out all of its products in mere days."

"Maybe Boss Louis is CEO Lisa and Goddess Jennie's love child. Isn't his surname Manoban? And if he's really a genius, then he must have inherited it from Goddess Jennie."

The two cousins laughed at the ridiculousness of the idea, treating it as a joke. They didn't believe that someone as young as Jennie who was only in her early twenties would already have a grown child like their Boss Louis. If she did, then Jennie gave birth when she was only a child herself! Ridiculous! Hahaha!

Manoban Corporation.

"It seems that Louis has been secretly learning from your lessons with Grandpa," Lisa told his baby girl while video chatting with her.

He and Bam were currently eating lunch after the dishes Jennie sent them arrived from Dragon Palace. On the tablet's screen, he could see his baby girl also eating lunch in a hotel room with Jae and her glam team. She flew to another city three hours away by plane before dawn this morning to attend an event as Kim Industries' brand ambassador later tonight.

"Did he tell you that?" Jennie asked.

"No, but I discovered this morning that Louis used my important business contacts and reached out to them recommending his White Tigress company. When I caught him, he told me that he heard Grandpa always saying that it's okay to be shameless with family when it comes to business. The people in my contacts aren't ordinary. What's even more amazing is that Louis was able to secure a couple of them as his clients."
