BILLIONAIRE: Lurking in the Dark

Mr. Yang's Pov

"I am so sorry for the wait Ms. Kim," I said nervously through the phone. My hands were shaking with every second of silence she took with answering my greeting

Who wouldn't be scared and shaking? The thought of not being scared to someone like her would be utter nonsense

I am talking to the most important figure in the world. One word from her mouth can change the history and life of every being

"I want to assign you to a very important assignment" her voice resonated in my ear with seriousness. She did not even acknowledge my apologizes

I sigh in understanding. She was not a person of emotion and she can never show emotion

I was about to ask what was so important for her to personally call me when she continued speaking and I listened attentively

"-and before we continue this conversation, I want you to be alone in your office, this is a very confidential assignment and I hope you let your assistant leave at this moment" My eyes went wide, how does she know that I am not alone? My windows are tainted which lets me see the outside but doesn't let prying eyes to mine

And before morning dawns there will always be a team that surveys my office to look for potential deadly weapons used against me. Secrets cameras are also checked and it was cleaned from the report earlier but instead of complaining and asking how she knew, I gestured for my assistant to go out.

As soon as he went out, I pressed a remote to automatically lock the door. I went to hold the handle for safety measures and to know that it really is closed

I would not want anyone disturbing me when I'm on the phone with her nor anyone barging in like what my assistant had previously done

"He is gone now Miss," I reported, going to my chair. I heard her hum in agreement. Her tone, which I noticed, felt similar to her knowing that no one else besides me was really standing in the room

Does she have someone watching over me?

If yes, then where is he hiding?

I stopped whatever I was thinking when she began talking again

"As you may know, My family came from a poor lineage" Why she is telling her history to me? Yet I still nodded whilst remembering I was on the phone

"You have told me about this Miss" I kept quiet for her to go on

"My mom, was sick back then but two people came to our door, offering help but in exchange they wanted me to work for them" she sighed then continued and I only stayed quiet

"They were Chitthip and Marco Manoban, people who I call my parents and the savior of my life along with my mom. They told me about their sufferings when they lived in the orphanage that I now own as you may remember"

"You have a lot of orphanages under your name Miss. Kim so I may not remember" she chuckled at what I said although it was the truth. Her name holds not 10ths but hundreds of orphanages

"That is true, but going back to my story, Chitthip and Marco helped my mom and me, and I owe them my life. I thought they wanted me for something else, but instead, they raised me as a strong woman and because of them, my mom is living the best life, away from the abusive man we once called father and husband." I nodded again forgetting I was on the phone with her

"Excuse me for my rudeness but why are you telling me this Miss?" I asked politely which made her chuckle

"Well mother and father had a child who I treat as my own blood sister, she is two years younger than me" she went straight to the point
