"Be my date tonight." He was not asking her permission at all when he uttered those words.

Kim Eunji was speechless the moment she heard him.

"What?!" She uttered in disbelief after she regained back her composure. They were clearly not fond of each other yet the man had the audacity to ask her such request.

"You brought the topic first. Had you not make a fuss about your items given to you for free, and not instilled inside my mind the idea of 'not owing someone something' thing, I won't come up with this idea." He innocently explained.

"You hurt and abuse me last night. What I'm asking is--" but before he could continue what he was about to say, a familiar rough and callused palm covered his mouth.

Though this was not the first time that he had felt her palm on his body, he was still curious why such beautiful woman had the palm of someone who had gone through the hardships of life. The idea surprised him a bit. Also, he found it beautiful.

Everyone who saw Kim Eunji could say that she's a pampered Miss of the family. After all, the kind of beauty that she possessed would always cause a stir wherever she went. Therefore, attracting the attention of the rich and powerful personalities like Nathan Bai.

'Aish! This man!' She inwardly cursed.

"Fine! You win... this time." She emphasized as if saying that there won't be any circumstances in the future that would lead her into this similar situation.

Nathan Bai flashed a triumphant grin on his face. For some reason, he found irritating Kim Eunji interesting. He liked the feeling of winning against her. Above anything else, he loved how she looked like an angry kitten when pissed.

With that, he brought her to a well-known boutique in Asia and had just successfully opened their store in China. Thanks to their collaboration with Nathan in the past, they were given the recognition in the International market.

He happened to know the owner and creative director of this company. He was sure that they could instantly craft an elegant gown Kim Eunji out from their hidden collection that had never been available in the market yet.

Kim Eunji sighed as soon as she saw where they were heading to. It was not because she disliked the store but because she disliked wearing gowns. She felt uncomfortable.

'Elise'-- named after the mother of the company's owner, Denise Chen, was a Philippine-based company. They were known for their elegant and beautiful gowns and beautifully cut cocktail dresses.

Walking behind him, she had no other choice but to follow him.

As they entered, Nathan and Eunji were both welcomed by Denise Chen herself. She was so happy to see Nathan again. She's a 35-year old Filipino woman who was now happily married to her husband Mr. Chen.

"Nathan!" She exclaimed as soon as she saw a familiar silhouette entering her humble boutique.

"Denise." The two had a friendly hug.

"Gosh! How are you? It's been like two years since the last time I saw you!" Denise remarked.

"Indeed. I'm good. Still alive and kicking." He commented. "How about you?"

"I'm good. Baby on the way so I had to be extra careful."

"Oh, you're pregnant? Congratulations!" Nathan happily greeted.

Denise was one of those people outside his circle whom he treated as a part of his family. She was more like a big sister to him.

"Thank you. How about you? When are you going to settle down? Aren't you tired of playing around?" She could not help but asked him. Of course she knew about Nathan's reputation from her clients who belonged in the same class as the great Nathaniel Bai.

Nathan did not answer her question but decided to discuss the matter why he was in her shop instead.

"Can you make a gown for her?"

"Her?" She was puzzled.

Since Kim Eunji entered the boutique walking behind Nathan, she did not realize that someone was standing behind Nathan.

Nathan then step aside to reveal Eunji who was still in a sullen mood. She was like a kitten having a tantrum.

"Oh my gosh!" Denise eyes sparkled as soon as she saw Kim Eunji. Like the other people, she was in awe when she saw Kim Eunji.

"H-hi." Denise appreciated beauties so much.

"Hello." Kim Eunji snapped out of her sullen mood as soon as she heard a female voice.

She was not paying attention to what they were talking about. She was in a deep thought. She questioned why Kelly did not mention about her sleeping in Nathan's room and most importantly, them sleeping together.

She was well aware that she was not in her designated room when she woke up but she had no idea that it was Nathan's room at all.

When she was walking earlier, what she heard were the servant's talk about what happened to her last night and how they saw Nathan carrying her into...'his room?!' Her eyes as soon as she realized that.

Damn! How come her deduction and senses turned dull? Something's not right. She had to do something. She definitely had to.

That was what's on her mind before Denise interrupted her.

"Hello." She greeted back.

"You're so beautiful!" Denise said in awe as she appreciated Kim Eunji's beauty.

On the other hand, Kim Eunji could see the genuine smile and happiness in the latter's eyes upon seeing her.

"You're prettier!" She responded.

"Thanks to pregnancy hormones." Denise joked which earned a soft chuckle from Kim Eunji. But then her eyes widened when she realized that a baby was on the way.

"Oh you're pregnant? Please do be careful. I wish good health for you and your baby." Kim Eunji genuinely said as she remembered on what happened to Kelly.

"I will. Thank you." Denise happily said. She was pumped up. She was now facing her new inspiration for her new collection.

Then Denise recalled what Nathan said earlier so she asked him. "When will the gown be needed?"

"Tonight." He shortly answered which made Denise a bit surprised though this was not the first time that he had urged her to produce a beautiful gown at the neck of time.

"May I know what event will you be attending this time?" She inquired so that she had to make the dress appropriate for the event.

"It's a dinner party." He shortly answered as he walked to the couch and decided to sit there.

"Alright. Miss?"

"Kim Eunji." She answered her.

"I know it's already late but I'm Denise Chen but you can call me Den. It's nice to meet you Miss Kim."

"It's nice to meet you too, Den." Kim Eunji responded as she shook her hand back.

"Okay Miss Kim, please follow me." Kim Eunji then followed her and they entered a room.

After almost three hours of waiting, Kim Eunji and Denise went out with a box in her hand.

"Let's go. We still have to go back to Beijing." He impatiently said.

"Wait. Beijing?!" She asked him. She's confused.

"The event will be held there so we have to go there obviously." Nathan's tone was full of sarcasm.

"So we're not going back to the Mo Family Ancestral Manor first?"

"We won't have enough time if we would make any delay." He explained.

"Leaving already?" Denise asked them both.

"Unfortunately yes. Thank you for today Den." Kim Eunji said in a sad tone. She didn't want to leave yet. She thought that Kelly and Denise had to meet in the future. They had this mean yet comfy vibe in them that she liked.

"Okay." Denise was sad, too. She had just found a new friend and she's very fond of her that's why she was hesitant to let them go. Her aura might be intimidating but she was a soft person in the inside and Denise liked that about Kim Eunji.

"I'll message you from time to time. Ciao!" Kim Eunji reassured.

"You better be. Bye!" Denise replied and looked at the two departing figure. She then picked up her phone and dialed number. She did not wait for him to speak first and went straight to the point instead.

"Nathan, you better make your move towards her or you'll lose your chance. And once she's yours, treasure her. That young lass is a gem. A very precious gem." She expressed her opinion.

Kim Eunji and Nathan Bai went out of the mall not minding the curious and jealous gazes around them. They immediately hopped in the car and drove off to the Bai Enterprise where his helicopter was waiting.

As they arrived, the branch director and the other executives fell in line and greeted who were already waiting for his arrival greeted them.

They were not that surprised to see that their boss had arrived with a woman tailing behind his back, but what shocked them was that the woman was more beautiful than the personalities being linked to Nathan Bai.

As far as they could remember, they had not seen that woman together with their boss when he first arrived in Sanya. So, where did she came from?

They doubt if she was a local because clearly, she was not. 'Maybe she's a tourist who had caught the attention of Master Bai.' They thought. They immediately retracted their gazes to Kim Eunji as soon as Nathan Bai looked towards their direction.

"Good afternoon, Master Johnson. Your helicopter is ready. Anytime we can depart and head back to Beijing." Marco Peterson, the head of his security and one of his personal assistant tasked to deal with his personal matters informed him.

"Why was I not informed about this dinner party beforehand?!" He asked in an angry tone?

"I apologize for this Master but seems like your father, Patriarch Bai, had already planned this ever since you agreed to be a Bai and be the next Patriarch of the family and had deliberately hidden this from you and had only informed us about this today." Marco tried his best to explain.

Nathan did not said anything else after he heard that. He immediately walked towards the direction of the helicopter not minding the fuming kitten behind his back.

As soon as Nathan entered the helicopter and took his seat, he frowned when he did not see Kim Eunji following him.

"Where's she?!" Nathan in a cold tone, asked Tang Hao this time.

"She's outside." He answered which made Nathan frowned even more. He unbuckled his seatbelt and then got off the helicopter.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked in a cold tone. 'Seems like this woman needs to be tamed.'

His voice was loud enough to capture the attention of the nosy executives present in the area as they waited for him to depart.

"What do you think?" Kim Eunji coolly answered back as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Bringing me somewhere I don't know. Mr. Bai, don't you think what you're doing is illegal?" Kim Eunji added.

"Illegal? On what grounds?" Nathan asked half-amused.

"Kidnapping!" She spat.

A loud laugh echoed all over the place which shocked everyone. This was the first time that they heard the Satan laugh after all.

"Kidnapping? Seriously?" He laughed once again.

"Miss Kim, if it's true that I'm indeed kidnapping you, then aren't you be glad that it's me and not someone else? I'm the most handsome kidnapper in the world then." He declared with cockiness.

"--__--" Kim Eunji was speechless.

"I don't want to go!" Kim Eunji stubbornly refused after she regained her composure.

Her reaction made everyone frowned towards her direction. "Playing hard to get?" That was what's running on their mind.

"Miss Kim! Get on the helicopter or don't make me force you to do so!" Nathan snapped. He didn't know why but ever since he interacted with Kim Eunji, she made him feel things that he could not explain. One thing's for sure, Kim Eunji's such a pain in the a** for him.

"She's doomed." One of them commented.

"What are you going to do to me then?" Kim Eunji challenged.

"Girl, better not provoke the Satan as you'll definitely experience hell." Someone added that made the people around them nod in agreement.

For Kim Eunji who didn't like arguments and confrontations and as much as possible avoided it at all cost by just ignoring them, she could not explain why she could not ignore him this time.

She got easily agitated by this man.

"If you'll not come with me tonight, then you'll owe me this one two therefore you had to pay me twice in the future." However he was not finished yet as he added.

"Hmm. If I'll use force to get you inside the car and hurt me or my subordinates in the process, then you'll owe us more." He then placed his hand on his pocket and slowly walked towards Kim Eunji.

They were expecting that Nathan Bai would drag her forcefully inside the helicopter but they were wrong.

Nathan reached out his hand for her to grab instead and continued.

"So Miss Kim, you choose, either you'll come with me now or you'll owe me more."

Shameless! Completely shameless!
