Unrequited Love | Mystic Messenger X Jumin (Under Edit)

Part 15: "The Untold Secret"

The next following day, Jaehee was in chaos. "Why you look so troubled? What happens?" Sophie asks. "Many calls are coming in, and Mr Han haven't arrived yet... He didn't even answer his phone, and... About yesterday photos, I need your explanation later..." Jaehee urge to know the truth. "Did you call the head of the security?" Sophie question again. "Yeah, I did, but Mr Han won't let him inside. He locked himself inside the penthouse..." Jaehee answer.

"Maybe he needs some rest, maybe he's tired?" Sophie gives an acceptable reason. "He was never like this... I'll go check on him right now..." Jaehee walks away from Sophie and head to Jumin's residence.

Jaehee had returned to office after lunchtime and she looks devastated. "Is he okay?" Sophie is concerns. She wanted to know what happens too.

"He refuses to even see me... Not even pick up anyone calls. Everyone was looking for him, the phone never stops ringing. Why don't you go and see him?" Jaehee gives a suggestion.

"Maybe I should, but I had to meet CEO Han later, and right now I'm going out to meet a vendor, see you later..." Sophie walks out from the building.

A day passed, the clock shows exactly 6 pm, Sophie had returned to office. She still needs to see CEO Han as he is waiting for her. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting..." Sophie bows politely. "No, it's okay, sorry to steal some of your time..." CEO Hans is being humble too. "Why do you want to see me so suddenly?" Sophie wonder if the CEO had some important things to tell her.

He was looking at the photos on the table. "Well, as you know, I was away for a week. I met an old friend of mine. He will launch an exhibition for his latest designs. We will be one of the exhibition organisers, so we are taking part..." He explains.

"Oh, I see... It sounds great..." She is excited. "Sophie... May I look at your necklace?" CEO Han pointed to the necklace she wears. "Oh, this...?"  She reconfirm and handed him the necklace.

"He will definitely know the value of this... This is a custom made pendant, so I assume it must be from someone special...?" CEO Han is making his own guest. He inspects the necklace as if he was looking for something. "Where do you get this?" He questions. He looks totally amazed with the necklace. "Its from my parents, it was a birthday present. The last present from my parents to be exact..." She answer.

"So it must contain a lot of sentimental value. Oh, there is a carves of V.C.S. is it your family's name?" He question again. Sophie nodded as a yes. "But, I don't use the surname... I prefer my Korean surname instead..." She let him know the truth.

"Sophie... My friend is interested in this photo..." He shows her the photo of the Abu Dhabi's team. "Why is that?" She is curious. "He was very shocked to see this. Your photo to be exact... Do you know this man?" CEO Han shows her a photo of his friend. She surprised but also calm.

"Oh I know him... The jewellery billionaire... They had the finest quality of jewellery am I right?" Sophie answer with a confident answer.

"Yes, they are. So you know him... Sophie my dear, you know that I treated you as my daughter right? Is there anything you want to tell me??" CEO Han is asking her a indirect question that she refuse to answer.

"Well, I don't think I had anything to say. Sorry, but I think I need to go..." She wants to avoid a serious conversation and wanted to end it soon. "To be honest, he had lost his daughter almost 14 years ago. The last memories he had was a painful argument. She ran away from home with her Korean maid..." He explains. Sophie said nothing and just sit quietly. "Just tell me, Sophie... Sophie Claire Veilleux, is that your real name? do you still want to keep it as a secret?" He ask. It surprised Sophie as she have not  heard that name for a long time.
