While driving through the street, I hear my ringtone off of my phone and check who it is, 'Mother' is writing on the screen. I don't hesitate to answer,"Yes mom, are you okay? Do you want me to come over?", I ask, worry in my tone.

"Hello dear, I am fine, though I just wanted to see you. Is is fine if you come over?" she replies with a question.

"I was on my way anyway, I'll be there in a few minutes".

I drive into a street, thinking of the past few months and how stuff have been going,until my mind stops at one thought,Soe Yeon. I smile as I think of her, but stop immediately when I realise what is going on. She's not just a secretary to me, but even more.

Before she came into my life, I was a cold hearted stone, I wouldn't smile or laugh during work I'd always be harsh on my employees, but since she came, I've changed.

She was the first person in 7 years to get to my heart, I don't know how she's done it, but she did. The smiles she send me in the middle of work make me feel less cold, her visuals are honestly something else. 'What is she doing to me?'.

I made my final turn, into the hospital street and parked,then exited the car. Making my way up to the hospital room, a million thoughts roamed through my brain, one of them to be what my mom possibly wanted to talk to me about.

When I reached her door room, I knocked first and then opened the door gently, making sure she's inside.

"Oh, you're finally here",she turned away from the window and looked at the door, eyes nearly wide,but her expression changed when a smile was placed on her lips ,"So, how was your day today?". I return the smile and look at her with adoration, 'What did I ever do to deserve such a mother'.

"My day went fine, what about yours?" I returned the question.

My mom and I kept talking on what we missed in the weeks we didn't see eachother in, we were having a nice talk until she changed the subject.

"Actually", she says, before her facial expressions change. My smile broke a little as i look at her eith somewhat of worry, waiting for her to finish her sentence," I talked to your father yesterday, he-",before she could finish her sentence I cut her off.

"No", I retort at the new subject, "Don't, he left us and went away. I don't care about him and you know that for sure, you can't let him trick you again into thinking he still cares about the family, he simply doesn't, he never will. I was surprised to hear he abused you after I left,what did he say, probably lies, didn't he? ", I asked, evidence of anger shown in the way I am talking.

She looks me in the eyes, her eyes showing a little worry and hurt, probably the hurt he showed her after I left.

" He didn't say anything terrible, he just", she stopped talking and looked at the floor now, "After you left, he started coming home late, he would never take responsibility for the company your grandfather owns. He would just go there, make problems and come home. One time I tried talking to him about what he was doing, I told him that it was wrong to do such stuff, I told him he had to take responsibility for his actions. Instead of listening he just... Started screaming at me and hitting me".

"Oh and you think this is fine don't you, him abusing you for absolutely no reason and you were fine with it", I look at her disgusted by the topic.

"He didn't abuse me for no reason. After you left, there was a lot of talking going on, you know how the journalists wouldn't stop talking about a certain topic once they start. So they started talking and lots of articles were published about how shameless the CEO of the company was. That time, your father lost his temper and fought with one of the journalists which caused more trouble for our social status and all. Though, after he abused me that day, he went away, guess he got too drunk and slept with someone, he didn't come back except one month later. When he came back, he had told your grandfather of what mistake he had done when he was away, which caused your grandfather to go crazy and-", When she said the last few words, I couldn't control my self and immediately interupted her.
