The sisters continued to talk about Hei-Ran's relationship with her boss, Jinhai. They were too engrossed in it that they didn't notice the woman sitted beside them was staring at them, listening to the conversation they were both having. She had a smile on her face as she finally turned away from them.

"I can't wait to see them both. Sist, what do you think about inviting them for dinner at my place. I've got to see them with my own two eyes" Woo-Mi chirped excitedly as she gave the fininshing touches to her sister's hair.

"That's not a bad idea, maybe we can ask them when they want to get married" Mrs Su added gleefully.

"Then let's do that" Woo-Mi said. She was more than happy for her niece.

....

Outside the beauty parlor, a middle age woman walked out with a gleeful smile on her face. She was practically grinning from ear to ear.

The chaffeur held the door for her and she stepped in. She whipped out her phone from her bag and immediately dialed a number, but there was no response. After several rings there was still no response.

"Where to madam?" The chaffeur asked.

"To my son's office" She instructed.

"Yes ma"

She couldn't stop herself smiling all the way till they got to their destination, she kept mumbling the name she had heard at the saloon in her mins. As soon as they arrived the company building she made her way straight towards the elevator and headed towards the hightest floor.

She gracefully made her way into the CEO's office without knocking.

"Mother?"

"What happened to your phone?" She asked in a cold tone.

"You were calling?" He asked as he picked up his phone to check.

"Yes i was you punk, and when were you going to tell me?" She asked feigning an angry tone as she lolled herself on the seat opposite the huge mahogany desk.

"As much as I'd love to know what you're talking about, I'm still no psychic, I don't read minds" He said, leaning back on this seat to look at his mother who was looking at him with stink eyes.

"Really? Here i was thinking we were a family with superpowers" She said with sarcasm. "Jinhai, am I really your mother? You now have a girlfriend and I don't know? I have to find out from the salon? It's that how I raised you?" She asked faking a glaring at him.

Jinhai was confused when he heard his mother. When did he have a girlfriend?

"Mother I don't know what you're talking about I don't have a girlfriend. Who told you that?" He asked with knitted brows.

She eyed him when he tried to deny it. What does he mean by he doesn't have a girlfriend? Was he trying to say she heard wrong? Or there was another Song Jinhai else where?

She looked at him suspiciously, the look on his face was quite convincing. But she knew what she heard.

"Jinhai you're not going to play with your mother. Where's she? I heard she works here. Jinhai don't tell you're trying to hide your girlfriend from me?" She cocked her brows at him.historical

"Mom, I don't know what you heard but i don't have a girlfriend" He told her firmly. He didn't know who was feeding her with such rumours. He had a soon to be girlfriend who he was working hard to woo, but for now she wasn't his girlfriend yet.

"Then who is Hei-Ran?" She demanded in a fierce tone. Jinhai was astounded when he heard her question.

"How— I mean where did you hear that" He stuttered. He didn't expect his mother to know Hei-Ran's name.

"So it's true huh?" Mrs Song asked when she saw his expression.

"Who told you about her?" Jinhai inquisitively asked. He hasn't talked about Hei-Ran to anyone, since he saw her.

Mrs Song eyed him, she picked up a pen from the pen holder and threw it at him but he ducked. "You idiot. So you have a girlfriend and you hid her from me? After I've begged you to get a girlfriend and when you finally do, you try to hide it from your mother?" Mrs Song asked in an angry tone as she attempted throwing another pen at him, "Mother can you stop throwing things at me, you're in my office" He told her.

Mrs Song paused her hand from throwing the pen, she looked at him with a mock-glare, before putting the pen back in the holder.

"Where is she? Is she your secretary?" She inquisitively asked, a happy and gossipy smile curving her lips.

"Mom, I don't have a female secretary" He told her. Hasn't she been here before? When has she ever seen him with a female secretary?

Mrs Walker realized that was true. "So where is she? I want to see her" She said.

"Why?" Jinhai asked.

His question made his mother angry. "What do you mean by why? I want to see her, I saw her mother and her aunt and I think they look like good people" She reasoned.

Jinhai couldn't believe what she just said. "You - you met with Hei-Ran's mother? How? Where?" He asked in shock. So it Hei-Ran's mother who had told his mom? Or rather she had heard it from him. He couldn't believe it. The world was indeed small. Who would believe that his mother would see Hei-Ran's mother in a saloon. What a coincidence!

"Why do you look so surprised?" She cocked a brow at him and sighed. "At the salon. You don't want to know how I felt hearing about my son's relationship at the saloon. Imagine if I haven't gone there at the time I did" She hissed.

"Mother I'm not in a relationship. We're just colleagues"

"You own the company so you don't have colleagues, only employees" she corrected.

"Then she's my employee" He said firmly.

"But what about—"

"Mother I don't know what they told you, but I'm not in any relationship. You should stop listening to gossips" He interjected.

Mrs Song shook her head, she didn't think what she heard was a lie. Why would those two women lie? They even looked excited while they talked about it.

It had to be Jinhai who was lying to her. He was trying to hide his girlfriend from her, but why? She asked herself. Except—

"Jinhai, she's not pregnant is she? Is that why you're bidding her?" Mrs Song asked, making Jinhai suddenly choke on his saliva.

He looked at his mother with widened eyes. How did she arrive at that conclusion? Why would she even think if such a thing? Well he shouldn't be surprised, his mother's hilarious imagination was something beyond human comprehension. She thought about the silliest of things.

"Mother she's not pregnant" How could she be pregnant when the girl in question always avoided him like a plaque. She didn't even like him from day one, and that was why he had resulted into acting the way he did with her. Hei-Ran was one hell of a girl who he didn't understand.

He has tried playing the nice guy card with her but it completely back fired on him, he tried a platonic approach but she even kept her distance the more. No matter what he tried, no matter the approach he took to get close to her, she'd take five steps away from him and that was what prompted him into taking the forceful and weird challenge. Because that girl only came running towards him when he dish out orders and acts cold towards her.

So how the hell did he impregnate her. Or do people get pregnant these days by just looking at each other? And Hei-Ran also wouldn't even look at him in the eye. She always avoided his gaze. The closes he has been with her was holding her hand.

So his mother can stop with her wild imagination.

"So that means you guys are dating?" She asked expectantly.

Jinhai sighed exasperatedly. She wasn't going to give up would She. He heaved a sigh to calm himself down. He closed his eyes for a while before looking at her.

"She's not my girlfriend yet" He finally admitted.

"Yet?" Mrs Song asked uncertainly, making Jinhai nod.

"That means you like her" she asked, and he nodded again. "Let me guess you haven't told her?" She said, she wasn't asking. She knew her son well.

He scratched the back of his head as he slowly shook it, making her frown.

"And why is that? Are you gynophobic?"
