16 Mommy Soon

Andrea and Lu Fang came to visit Yanmei in her office before returning to China. She wished she could send them off, but work was in the way and she wanted to prove Anton Yeong that she was deserving of the opportunity.

"Goodbye, Yanmei and please, take care of yourself here…If you need anything, just asked for Junsu or you can call or text me… I will bug my brother to attend to your needs," said Andrea after giving her a warm hug.

Turning to Lu Fang then back to Andrea, she assured them, "Don't worry about me. I'm a chameleon. I can easily adapt to wherever you put me."

Andrea smiled at her and studied her for a moment. Soon enough, she said, "In any case, I left an angel to look after you, by the name of Mommy Soon."

"Mommy Soon?" She asked with her brows raised.

"Yes, Mommy Soon. She will be your guiding light," Andrea giggled before winking at her. "Don't worry. She will visit you soon."

Before seeing them go, she thanked the couple for trusting her with the job and for the very wonderful apartment they had arranged.

She had seen the apartment the other day with Yeona, tagging along. It was a fully furnished apartment, chic and very spacious, conveniently near the office. She would move in during the weekend and Yeona offered to help.

It did not take long for her to meet her angel. One afternoon, she was occupied revising a document when she noticed a woman with elegance walking towards her office. Her space was only divided with a glass wall and she preferred not using blinds. The set-up allowed her to see her staff's activity from where she sat.

Yanmei could not help but appreciate the lady's beauty and style. She could tell she was a woman of wealth. Her face was clear, white as a pearl. Her hair shone and bounced as she took steps. Her jacket definitely spelled Chanel all over and the same could be said with her bag. She was pretty sure her shoes would also be a product of the same brand.

The lady waved at her and gave a pleasant smile. She noticed everyone bowing their heads to her like she was the boss. Her brows drew together wondering who could this goddess be.

She could not hear her but her lips formed into words saying, "Can I enter?"

She merely nodded, still awed by her grace and beauty.

"Good afternoon. Xia Yanmei, right?" The woman asked with the biggest smile on her face.

Yanmei's mouth parted, surprised that she knew her by name. "Yes, that's me."

"Oh! I knew it!" The elegant lady walked towards her hastily and said, "Let me take a look at you. Stand up, stand up!"

For some reason, her gut told her to follow as directed. She looked outside and saw all her staff was plainly looking at her office. Some had their mouths hung open and she could see others gossiping.

She raised Yanmei's chin and said, "Beautiful… Turn around for me, dear."

Yanmei did not know what came over her, but she merely turned for the lady. She heard the woman say, "Beautiful! Just like what Andy said."

She watched the lady cover her mouth as she giggled then she heard her say, "Hello, I am your Mommy Soon. It's nice to meet you, my dear."

She gave her a hug before saying, "I'm hungry. Let's go grab a bite?"

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm working. My boss is a little grumpy - "

Yanmei heard Mommy Soon laughed and said, "He is grumpy… like an old man. Haha! Don't worry. I can appease your CEO... I'm a shareholder of this company… No need to worry."

"But - "

Mommy Soon held Yanmei's wrist and gently dragged her outside her office. As they walked toward the elevator, she heard her staff bid goodbye while bowing their heads.

"Goodbye, Madame."

Madame, it was nice seeing you."

The lady turned to them and said, "Now as you were. Back to your work. Be diligent and make sure to submit your reports to my daughter on time, okay."

"Daughter?" Yanmei asked. Her team also had the same question.

"Of course, dear. I'm Mommy Soon to you and you are my daughter…Now let's go."

Yanmei was stunned to see the lady use the private elevator of the CEO. She realized she was indeed an important person in the company.

"I - I don't mean to be rude, but may I know exactly who are you?" She said while trying her best to display the sweetest smile.

The lady giggled and said, "I'm your mother."

Instead of going down, they were headed to the top floor. She knew exactly where they were going that she tried to negotiate, "Ah, Mommy Soon, I'm not sure if this is such a good idea."

Mommy Soon held her hand and placed it around her arm before saying, "Rest assured, dear, I know exactly what I am doing."

Exiting the lift, Yanmei saw Junsu swiftly approaching them. "Madame, you are here. Good Afternoon."

The lady simply said, "Open the door, Junsu."

She was about to go to Junsu and asked who this powerful lady was when she heard her calling, "Yanmei. Come in with me."

Yanmei saw Junsu signaling for her to follow and so she did. "Okay."

Entering Anton Yeong's office, the first thing she heard was, "Mother, what are you doing here and why are you bringing Yanmei with you?"

"Mother?" She mumbled before talking to herself, 'So this is Anton Yeong's mother.'

Yanmei let out a heavy sigh, relieved to know that Mommy Soon could indeed appease Anton Yeong.

"Why not? Andrea wanted me to look after Yanmei and so I came here to have coffee with her… And since I am here, I might as well invite my son. Right?"

Yanmei did not know how it happened and what were the words spoken. She was in a daze the entire time. Before she knew it, they were riding the private elevator with her boss and his mother, Yeong Soon.
