CHAPTER 36: THE SIGHT WAS LIKE THE EARLY MORNING SUN

The past should be the past. It can't destroy the future life, live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away. Just because the past didn't turn out like you wanted it to, doesn't mean your future can't be brighter than you ever imagined. Once you've made the decision to move on, don't look back. You will never find your future in the rear-view mirror, it's always right there in front of you. Stay awesome. (QUOTE OF THE DAY)

When Jason got to his office, Butler Ye was waiting for him with box in hand. He had really come by himself mainly because he wanted a chance to see who his future young mistress was. Butler Ye was a man who was slightly advanced in age. He was above fifty years old and he had been in the Li family even before Jason was born. He took care of his three young masters, and when Jason returned to the country, his parents asked Butler Ye to move into his mansion to take care of him.

Jason's parents rarely see him since he stayed out of the country from when he was eight years old. They used to see him once in every few years but ever since his elder brother died seven years ago, they had not seen him since, the most he did was make video calls with them and talk to them every once in a while but the Jason now was way different from the one they knew before.

Uncle Ye, come in. Jason said and entered into his office

Young master, the lunch is here, where is the young mistress? Butler Ye asked.

Just give me a minute, i'll give her a call to know where she is or if she has had lunch. Jason said and asked Butler Ye to sit down.

Butler Ye (.....) he hadn't even called her yet to know if she wanted to have lunch and he made us run helter skelter in order to make this lunch... Butler Ye was only whining in his heart, he could not say any of those words out. He just sat down and wondered if this is how things were going to be from now on.

Meanwhile, Assistant Ju Long was just thinking that his doses of dog food had been cut by half and he couldn't be happier. He was laughing evilly in his heart but he didn't say a word. Thank God i'm not the only one receiving this anymore. More people definitely have to be involved in this secret, he thought. But those were going to remain as thoughts, he was never going to let himself be in the receiving end of Jason's wrath.

Jason brought out his phone and gave Ru Lan a call. She answered on the first Ring.

Ru Lan: Hey handsome, don't tell me you miss me already.

Jason: Actually i do. How did you know? Don't tell me you read minds now too

Ru Lan: No Silly, i asked because you are calling. Anyway what's up?

Jason: Nothing much, just checking on you. Have you had lunch?

Ru Lan: why, is there free lunch? Do you want to buy me?

Jason: I might, you never know. Are you up for it?

Ru Lan: one thing you should remember Jason is that, I'll never reject food. Then she stopped for a second and said, especially when its free.

Jason: I'll take that as a yes. Where are you at?

Ru Lan: Were you serious, what about work, aren't you busy?

Jason: Nah! Not busy. There isn't much work. Tell me where you are and i might give you a beautiful surprise.

After Jason said he was not busy and there's isn't much work, Assistant Ju peered at the pile of paper work that were on his desk and just shook his head. He never knew that his friend would ever go after a girl so seriously. He had girlfriends before but he never cared for them like this. They were always the ones caring for him.

Ru Lan: All right, i love surprises. Meet me at DBK, I'll someone wait for you at the lobby.

Jason: DBK, are you shopping? Since its like that why not just come over to FYN GROUP when you're done. I'll have lunch waiting for you.

Ru Lan: Hahahaha! No silly, not shopping. I'm working. Thats also why i forgot to have lunch. There's so much work for me to do.

Jason: Working? He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion then he had a light bulb moment and it hit him. Wait, DBK? As in your name, DAISY BRIANNA KELTON? You are the mysterious owner of DBK?

Ru Lan: Yes genius, you figured it out. She laughed. She wished she could see Jason's surprised face right now. Alright get me my lunch. My Assistant Fiona will bring you in.

Jason: Alright see you soon.

Jason ended the call and said to the two people who were still looking at him like a clown. If you are both done admiring me, can we leave?

Jaesun wait, Dr Ru owns DBK? Ju Long asked him. He was also shocked. Despite the fact that they had been following Ru Lan and they knew so many things about her, even though they pretended that they didn't find any information, they did not know this.

Jason stopped in his tracks then turned to look at Assistant Ju Long and smiled. Of course. You don't think the girl i choose would be ordinary did you? He said. he was so proud of his little lady and the pride was very obvious in his eyes.

Assistant Ju Long just harrumphed and didn't say anything. What a showoff. He thought. Butler Ye was just smiling, he was really happy for his young master and he could not wait to call his parents and tell them this good news, but before he could complete his thoughts, he heard Jason said....

Not a word of this from either of you, if anyone from the family learns of this before Daisy tells it to them herself, she will light that person's ass on fire, and that includes me too. Plus she can be quite scary so thread carefully. Jason said all this with a smile on his face.

Assistant Ju Long shivered once again when he heard Jason. He remembered her fierce nature and her identity as the phoenix so he just shook his head and turned to look at Butler Ye. She can really do it Uncle Ye, so do thread carefully. We don't want to cross her or her new found loyal servant who happens to be our boss. He said quietly to Butler Ye and then walked ahead.

Ru Lan had told Fiona to go wait for Jason downstairs and bring him up to her office. After so much screaming and happiness, she finally left to wait for Jason. She couldn't help but imagine what Ru Lan's boyfriend would look like. When she asked Ru Lan to show her a picture so she could recognize him, she had just said, don't worry. Even in a crowd of a thousand people, you still won't miss him. He dazzles, so you'll just know when you see him. And she did.

When she saw Jason come through the front door with two other men, she just knew which one of them was Jason. Clad in his maroon coloured suit, he was just like a model posing in the runway, the sight was like the early morning sun coming up in the distant horizon. It was a breathtaking view and she was mesmerized. She was a designer and she had seen so many handsome men and models but this man, she didn't have the words, he was beautiful.

She walked up to him, and stretched out her hand in a handshake. Hello, Fiona James she said.

Jason shook her hand and said, Jaesun Li, before removing his hand from hers.

I'll take you to Miss Kelton now. She said. Ru Lan uses her real name Daisy Brianna Kelton here in DBK, her staff didn't know she was a doctor. They just knew that their Boss's identity was sensitive and she didn't come to work very often so they never ask any questions. Coupled with the fact that they all signed Non-disclosure agreements and breaching of that will lead to paying a hundred million dollars compensation.

This was the first time that Jason and Ju Long had entered inside the DBK Building and they were impressed with the internal structure. DBK was a fairly new company. Ru Lan started it when she was nineteen years old and then she had a small studio which she managed with Fiona and a few other employees, but in a matter of 5 years, it had grown to become such a huge company and also a household name among the upper class. Most of the profits from DBK goes into her foundation, the Better Life foundation.

We're here. Fiona said and opened the door to Ru Lan's office and they went in. Ru Lan was already waiting for them. She jumped off her sit and into Jason's arms when she saw him. She hugged him tight disregarding everyone else in the office. Jason didn't mind either, as long as Ru Lan was there, he couldn't see anyone else anyway.

Ahem! Ahem! It was Fiona who coughed to break the little reunion. We are all still here you know, so maybe you should tone it down a bit Brianna. She said.

Assistant Ju was the happiest. He had finally found somebody who could call them out on their behaviour. But his happiness didn't even last that long because of Ru Lan's next statement.

Oh! I'm so sorry Fi, i forgot that you don't remember the joy of lover's reunion after not meeting for a few hours, don't worry, i love you too much to let have a breakdown so I'll be careful when we are around you. Ru Lan said

Fiona gritted her teeth and forced a smile. Of course not Brianna, you can even have S*x in front of me and i won't mind. How could i forget that you have been celibate for too long. Fiona said sarcastically.

Jason (.....)

Ju long (....)

Butler Ye (....)

they were all shook. These girls didn't filter their words at all. It's like they were two seeds from the same pod. No one was backing down and they didn't sound like Boss and subordinate at all. They were both glaring at each other like they were going to fight the next second, but then something else happened, and they were now totally stupefied. The two girls just burst out laughing.

When they finished laughing, they remembered that they had just embarrassed themselves in front of strangers and the environment was weird. What? Ru Lan asked.

Nothing at all, we are just enjoying the movie. Please continue. Jason said

This is Fiona. She is my sister, we grew up together. She said to Jason. And this is Jason, you future Brother in law. She said to Fiona as she introduced them.

Nice to officially meet you brother in law, Fiona said with huge smiles.

This is Ju Long, my Assistant and Best friend and my butler, you can call him Uncle Ye like we do.

Ju Long and Fiona shook hands and the Butler nodded to her. Then he walked up to Ru Lan and hugged her. It's nice to see you again, Miss Ru. He said

Ru Lan smiled and said, it's nice to see you again, Uncle Ye.

The madam will be very happy when she finds out about you and the young master. Uncle Ye used to live at Jason's parents home so he knew Ru Lan since she was friends with Jaejun and Li mei. She visited a lot and the madam adored her. The same could not be said about the old madam though, but that's a story for another day.

Oh! Of course you know uncle Ye. Jason said feeling aggrieved that he was the only one that had missed out on been close to Ru Lan all these while.

Ru Lan scratched her head, and said, about that, Uncle Ye, can you not tell aunty yet, i plan to surprise her with the news. I don't want her to know just yet.

No problem miss, the young master already told me your warning. I don't want my ass to be lit on fire. Butler Ye said.

Cough! Cough! Ru Lan coughed and glared at Jason for ratting her out. Jason just shrugged his shoulder and opened his hands as in, not my fault. He was happy that his Ru Lan was also close to this family. Now it was his turn to make an impression on hers.
