As agreed, Kim Eunji met him at the parking. Nathan Bai frowned when he saw Kim Eunji wearing the same clothes as earlier. Though this time, her black and silky hair were tied half-open. As usual, she was wearing her camera, a cap and a Chanel bag on her shoulder.

'Does she like to show off her legs for everyone to see? Such a troublesome woman.' He thought.

"Let's go!" Nathan called out in a slightly irritated tone.

But before he entered the backseat of the car, he took a jacket and toss it to Kim Eunji to wrap around her waist.

"Wear that." He firmly said with no room for negotiation from the other party.

"What's this for?" Kim Eunji bobbed her head as she looked at Nathan in puzzlement.

"A jacket." Nathan answered with an annoyed tone.

Kim Eunji rolled her eyes as she looked at him.

"I know that this is a jacket but what is this for? Why did you toss it to me?"

"Aren't you cold?" 'You're wearing such clothes.' He continued in his thoughts. Of course there's no way he would say the latter part.

"Sorry but...I'm not going to wear this. I don't feel cold at all.." Kim Eunji was stubborn.

"Wear that yourself or I will do it myself." He said in a low and husky tone showing that his already angry. It was his final warning to her.

"Why do you care?!" Kim Eunji snapped. She's really annoyed now, too.

But before Kim Eunji could even return back the jacket to him, he was already in front of her and had snatched the jacket off her hands.

He then quickly wrapped the jacket around Kim Eunji's waist and tied the sleeves together in a knot to hold it in place.

"Don't wear clothes like this in the future." He coldly remarked which made Kim Eunji be dumbfounded this time.

"--__--"

"What the hell?!" She uttered in disbelief.

"Ha!" She scuffed as she saw the man entering the car. A rebelious thought then came into her mind.

'No! I'm not going to ride in that car with him. I'd rather walk going to my destination than sitting in the same car with him.' So she did.

"Oie where are you going? Get in the car now!" Nathan yelled.

Ignoring Nathan, Kim Eunji decided to go on the separate direction where people used to access the main road.

But before she could even make her 10th step, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her small waist from behind. He then lifted her up and carried her like a sack of rice.

She struggled to free herself but as she thought that he might got hurt if she used force against him, she decided to let it go.

She already vowed to never hurt someone in this new life of hers. Except if that unlucky person touched her bottom-line.

Nathan carried Kim Eunji and opened the door with his other hand. He then tossed Kim Eunji on the backseat. He then entered in the same door and closed it.

Thanks to her fast reflexes, she avoided any possible bumps or injuries.

The car finally drove off leaving the curious eavesdropper with a stunned expression on their faces.

This had been the third time that they had witnessed Nathaniel Bai being caring to woman again other than his mother and grandmother.

On the other hand, Kelly's eyes sparkled as soon as she saw Kim Eunji and Nathan's interaction. "Seems like I found the perfect person who could make my Eunji stay in place." Mike Roland who was standing beside her then commented.

"It's still so early to say that my beautiful niece." He then sighed as he continued, "I even doubt that he would accept her if he knew about Eunji's past." He spoke in a whisper.

"Besides, she's still... not...okay." He added which made Kelly's face turned sad.

"Yeah." She then looked up at Mr. Roland and asked, "But what if it's love that could completely heal her? I mean, what if falling in love would help her to overcome her demons?"

"Hmm." As if contemplating, he continued, "Alright. I'll observe them for now. But if that lad would only make things worse for Eunji, I will personally take care of him." He said as if he was not talking about Nathan Bai.

"You said earlier that she had that dream last night and it was him who was able to calm her down, right?" He asked Kelly.

"Yes Uncledad." Kelly confirmed. "But seems like Kim Eunji had not remembered a thing about it." Kelly added.

"Oh, seems like that drug was still working." Mr. Roland commented.

"I thought so, too." Kelly agreed. "I had taken good care of everything. Those who were present last night would vaguely remember about Kim Eunji's nightmare attack. It's better to prevent it than saying sorry in the end," she added.

This explained why none mentioned Kim Eunji having a nightmare during breakfast that's why Nathan had to sleep with her last night.

So if ever Kim Eunji learnt that she had shared a bed with him, the excuse that it was his room in the manor would be acceptable.

For some reason, Kelly had managed to arranged such things this morning. She added a memory alteration potion on the drinks being served this morning. Unfortunately, there was a loophole in her plan. The man himself, Nathan.

The Uncle and niece sighed as they stared at the black Rolls Royce car until it disappeared in the horizon.

While the uncle and niece were lost in their hopes for Kim Eunji, Mo Jing-sheng and Hua Zhang Wei were also talking about Nathan Bai.

"First brother, seems like our little Nathan was slowly returning to his old self." Hua Zhang Wei whose hobby was to pester and made fun of Nathan was now seriously talking about him.

"I could see that." Mo Jing-sheng agreed.

"I just hope for the better. I'm tired of watching him turning himself into a completely different person this past years. I just wished him to stop tormenting himself and let go." As Hua Zhang Wei thought of the reason why their good friend turned like who he had become, his eyes turned cold.

"Good thing she's no longer here in China and was living abroad now with her rich husband. I hope she's happy." Sarcasm was evident in Hua Zhang Wei's voice as he uttered the last part.

"Don't get so worked up. As what you've said, she's not here anymore. Therefore, there's no need for you to think about her annoying existence." Mo Jing-sheng would always be disgusted as he remembered about her.

***

In one of the shopping malls in Sanya, a black Rolls Royce had just parked in front of the mall entrance. This got the attention of every shopper present in the area.

They were curious as to who was this bigshot boarding this luxurious car.

Minutes later, two godly-looking creatures alighted from the car. Impeccable!

"--__--"

"Are they celebrities?" Someone asked after she recovered from shock.

"I don't think so. I haven't seen them in television."

"Man! I think I'm dead. I just saw an angel!"

"She's so cool! I think I'm in love ❤❤!!"

"Man I'm so jealous of her!" A woman shopper uttered which earned a nod from her companion.

"Wait! I think I have seen his face somewhere!" A woman who looked like someone from a noble family suddenly announced which earned curiosity from the people surrounding her.

She then gasped when she realized something.

"Master Bai! It's him. He's Master Nathan Bai!"

As soon as those words came out from her mouth, the crowd gasped in shock and excitement.

They immediately took their phones and was about to take photographs and videos of the godly looking man but Tang Hao interrupted them.

In a professional manner, he spoke, "Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, Master Bai is on a vacation right now. Therefore, I hope you'll respect his privacy. If you wish to sneak photos of him and his companion, expect a legal notice from our legal team in your respective residences first thing tomorrow. Have a good day!" Tang Hao then smiled at them.

The moment they heard the warning, they were completely disheartened. Who would not be? This was the first time that they were seeing him up-close. Except from those escorts in the bar, only the two percent of the upper class got the chance to meet this aloof man.

No photos of him were even posted online. This was because Nathan wanted to limit his exposure in public. He was not a celebrity for every woman to fantasized about. Aside from that, the Bai Enterprise had not yet posted an official statement that he had already taken over the chairmanship. Nathan thought that holding a celebration for that was unnecessary at all.

Why?

Because he was already given the recognition as the King by the players in the business world.

Though reluctant to let go of taking his photos, they still did as what they were told because they didn't want to bring trouble upon themselves.

But one thing that they were curious was that who was that beautiful woman that he's with? Was she his woman? His new flavor of the week?

Oblivious to what the other people was thinking about her, Kim Eunji who was still in a bad mood walked ahead.

She hoped to disappear from the man's radar. However her hopes went in vain as the moment they got inside the mall, two lines welcomed them. They were the people who belonged to the top management of MJ's City, the mall he established after his mother's name.

This branch had just recently opened and therefore he had taken advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise visit.

"Good morning Master Johnson!" Mei Johnson was his mother's name. Before he became Nathaniel Bai, he was once Nathaniel Johnson.

The mall was his own and had nothing to do with the Bai Enterprise at all. Except those employees under Bai Enterprise, his subordinates would address him Master Johnson.

Tang Hao was hired when he started his business with Bai Enterprise that's why he was addressing him as Master Bai. And he was his assistant to settle matters with regards to Bai Enterprise alone.

Nathan had kept everything under the shadows and only trusted a few people. It was not easy to gain his trust after everything that happened to him.

That's why when Tang Hao heard that Nathan was called as Master Johnson by this mall's top branch executives, he was stunned.

He never recalled that his boss had a connection with MJ's City.

"VVIP member." Nathan suddenly said just to clear Tang Hao's suspicions. He had no obligation to clarify himself though but Nathan still did. Just like that Tang Hao nodded as he accepted his reason.

However, the branch director's lips twitch as soon as he heard Nathan. How he wish there was indeed a membership system available in this mall for he wanted to avail it, too.

"Yeah. He's our first VVIP member here." He confirmed which made the other people gasped as they heard him.

Ignoring their shock, Nathan looked at Kim Eunji and said, "This young lady wanted to shop for new clothes, do assist her." As the rest of the mall executives present in the place heard his words, their lips uncontrollably twitched.

'Another gold-digger who wanted to take advantage of our Master Johnson's kindness. What a shame!' They thought in unison.

"Tang Hao, accompany Miss Kim for the meantime. I'll be back soon." He ordered Tang Hao and reminded him to not let anyone bully Kim Eunji no matter what.

'What a vixen!' Tang Hao commented. 'What was special about her though? She's only beautiful with no solid background. Compared to Master's previous contracted woman, she's the worst.' He added on his thoughts.

With that, Nathan left together with the branch director and headed to the admin office upstairs.

Kim Eunji heaved huge sigh of relief as soon as she saw his back disappearing from afar. She thought that she could finally be able to shop alone peacefully.
