Chapter 4

I sit up few minutes after she left the room. I reminisce about the lovely times I shared with dad. Both the happy and sad memories.

I receive a call from the hospital asking if we would be want to hire a funeral home for his last rite .

I declined their proposal and cut the call. I walk out of my room and saw Weina curled up and asleep in front of dad's room with her tears stained face.

I pick her up and send her to the guestroom. I cover her up with a blanket and go out to discuss my dad's funeral with Uncle Tang.

Young master, I have already announced the death of old Lee. All the family members and friends will be here tomorrow for the funeral.

Everything is in order, and the organizers I hired are one of the best in the country. So be rest assured that everything will go on well.

Thank you Uncle, am very grateful. I would like for you to take care of Weina , when she wakes up. I know she's suffering now and you are the second closest person to her.

So please help in consoling her. That will be all for now. Okay young master, I will do just as you have said.

I go back to my dad's room and look around carefully . I lay the bed well and then walk out of the room feeling devastated.

I pass by the guestroom to check on her and I hear the soft cries of someone. I enter the room and I'm met with her painful expression.

I begin to wonder if she had any other relationship with my dad apart from being his Secretary .

I walk to the sleeping figure and try to position her well only you realize that she's having a high fever. She was burning very hot.

I go to the kitchen and brought a bowl filled with cold water and a towel.I wiped her with the towel till the fever went down and placed it on her forehead.

I then call the family doctor to come immediately. He arrives 30 minutes time and administer the drugs for fever to her.

The doctor left shortly after instructing me on what to do when her temperature rises again. I sit by her side and take care of her for a while before falling asleep because of tiredness.

During that night, her temperature rose twice before morning came, and so I wasn't able to sleep at all because I was afraid she could suffer a relapse when I fell asleep mistakenly.

Weina wakes up groggily and walks to the bathroom to attend to nature's call. When she came out from the washroom after washing her face and brushing her teeth , she saw someone leaning on her bed asleep.

She walks to her bed and tap the person gently to wake him up. He raise up his head to look what who just disturbed his sleep and both of them stilled.

What a handsome man, he's just like a greek god who has descended . I stare at him as am lost in thought.

Hey, is your fever gone yet. The doctor said not to take in anything cold and also make sure to wear warm and dry clothes.

And by the way, am Lee Jinho , your new boss and the son of the late Senior Lee. I shake his hand and also introduce myself to him.

I'm also Su Weina, the Secretary of Uncle Lee and his youngest friend ever. I'm very sorry for your loss and I promise to help you with the Empire as I promised Uncle Lee.

Okay, your help is really aprreciated. But please we have to get ready for dad's funeral service . Do you have any black cloth here.

No I dont, but that's not a problem, I will go back and get ready at my apartment . I pick my bag and walk out of the room , greeting Uncle Tang on the way as I go outside the house.

Later that day, Uncle Lee was buried in their ancestral yard and all prominent people in the country and beyond came to support.

After the funeral, Jinho gave her a week off to take care of herself and to prepare herself for work.

She declines his offer and help him with the necessary paperwork that he will need when he takes over as the CEO and Chairman of the Empire.

Weina goes to the office on Friday to prep the workers about the arrival of their new Ceo. She arranges everything and made sure that his office is clean and ready to be used.

Her phone rings and she picks it up even though the number is not on her contact list. Hello, please who am I speaking with.

It's me Jinho. I wanted to ask if everything is going on well at the office. Yes please, the office is same as everyday. We are just waiting for the arrival of our new Ceo.

Okay, then that will be all. He disconnected the call without saying a goodbye but I didn't mind it because I have already been briefed about his behaviour.

The day went on very well without any major event happening. I closed from work very late and tired.

As soon as I got home. I washed up and felled asleep as soon as I touched the bed.
