Finding You

Chapter 2: Dahlia

I couldn't take it ✌

Enjoy:)

______

Yaya was at the entrance of the airport, waiting for the driver Uncle Leo sent to pick her up.

She looked ahead, at the familiar view. A bitter smile formed on her face as she remembered the last time she was here.

All the memories she tried to put at the back of her mind resurfacing, solidifying the walls she built to keep it in.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to finally come home." she heard a familiar voice behind her.

She turned around and saw James with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Wow, I was expecting you to at least have a smile on your face when you see me. I feel hurt!"

"Shut up, stop acting like a child." she replied. Handing him her luggage and approached the familiar Luxury car in the drive way.

She didn't wait for him and entered the backseat.

The car was hers of course, it was a gift from Uncle Leo for her 27th birthday. They had it shipped to Thailand yesterday against her wish to keep a low profile.

Might as well use it often,it's not like I have a choice anyway, she thought.

"Okay, you got meaner. It's like you didn't even miss me. You didn't answer my calls for 3 days. You only answer Dad's call. How could you ignore me like that? After all we've been through. "He kept whining, entering the backseat beside her. He gestured the driver to start driving.

"James, we see each other every 2 weeks. Stop whining like a baby." she said, rolling her eyes at his behavior.

He scoffed at her, now pouting like a kid.

"Where are we heading?" she asked looking outside, trying to remember any familiar places.

"I had your unit finalized, also Dad wants to see you. We'll get you settled in first, then we'll have dinner with him after." James looked at her.

He sighed. Yaya was looking outside, lost in thought.

He thought about what she might be feeling right now.

He tried so hard to lighten the atmosphere earlier, but Urassaya Sperbund was a woman who rarely shows her true emotions. Especially now that she's back to the place she lost everyone she loved dearly.

Sometimes, he can't tell if she's really happy when she smiles. It's like she already mastered the art of hiding what she really feels inside.

The only thing he knows is that she still felt alone. Traveling back and forth to France to accompany her was the only way he knew to make her feel less lonely.

He was glad she had Kim with her. That girl treated Yaya like a sister and sometimes like a mother protecting her cub. Their friendship was so solid that he occasionally felt Jealous of their Bond.

He doesn't complain though, Yaya supported him and always acted like a big sister, it was one of the things that pleased him. That she at least had people she treated like family.

"Cheer up Sis, Life is too short, they say!" James said with the hand gesture and everything.

"You look cute when you aren't blabbering James." she said with a light smile on her face.

He just scoffed at her words, playfully rolling his eyes at her.

"President, we have some news." A respectful voice stated from the other end of the line.

"Is it worth disturbing my time?" His cold voice echoed around the room.

"My apologies, President. It's about the photo you had delivered at the Airport in Thailand a few years ago. "

The man froze, His heart thumping so fast his breath couldn't catch up. He hoped he didn't mishear.

"Tell me everything in detail." His deep voice carrying a certain sharpness that made the man on the other line gulp with fear. "A woman with the same features as the one in the photo arrived from a flight coming from France. About an Hour ago, Mr. President. "

"I want the full report and background check. Bring them to me as soon as possible. Also Tell Anderson to Prepare the Plane I'm going back to Thailand Tonight. " Cutting the call, He got up from his seat trying to Process everything.

This was the first lead since he started his search for her. He searched for her everywhere, every country he was able to access, but there weren't any traces of her.

She just suddenly disappeared. Her name was still registered as if she was still in Thailand but when he tried to search for her there, everything was just a front.

It was as if someone was hiding her without wanting to alert anyone.

He was devastated, nearly turning insane when he found nothing. The last time he saw her was still fresh from his mind.

He looked outside, his tall and lean figure standing in front of the transparent glass wall overlooking the view of the city. Like a king watching his kingdom from his high castle.

Does she even remember him? He asked himself. His eyes held longing and sadness for the woman he can never forget.

------------

"Urassaya or Dahlia?" Uncle Leo Asked.

They were at his Mansion having Dinner, discussing about her plans for the company.

"Urassaya." She replied simply, looking at Uncle Leo.

"So we're still keeping it private then." Uncle Leo Sighed.

'Dahlia Chen' was the name she used in France. It is also the name registered as the President of Chen group.

James ran the company as an acting CEO and Uncle Leo was their ultimate Mentor when it comes to business, attending as her representative as the Chairman of the Board.

The 3 of them managed to help each other to maintain her Grandfathers Company. The difference was she was the only one who doesn't show her face.

'Urassaya Sperbund' her real name, was just a simple woman living in Thailand.

Uncle Leo made it possible to create another life story,a front, to make it seem like she never left the country. It was a complicated set up but it was a set up that made her feel secure.

It was also a great way to avoid questions and prevent her Father from digging into things; that is if he still cared.

"You want to be my secretary then?" James asked Yaya in a teasing way. She raised her eyebrow at the question.

"Yeah, sure it'll be the easiest way to overlook the company. It'll be temporary though, I'm Going to reveal myself once the Hong Kong Expansion is finalized. " She replied. Drinking the wine served in front of her.

"Why are you so hell bent on Expanding in Hong Kong, Yaya?" James questioned, freezing her movements.

"James!" His father raised his voice warning him to stop talking before glancing at Yaya.

"Child, I Have something to discuss with you." Uncle Leo said cautiously.
