"I have emailed you the file that you have requested. I expect payment within the next thirty minuets. It was hard to dig up information on this girl. I gotta say, I am truly surprised at what I found. But I will warn you, tread carefully when dealing with this girl. She has been through hell and back. I have an idea as to why you had me look into her but that is none of my business. On another note, I am expecting a wedding invitation soon. I do not want you to work your life away. Even our little sister is getting married before us. Anyways, I have to go. Bye, love you." my sister hung up the phone before I could even get a word in.

I opened the file she sent me and became lost in the information that is Tae Park or was Tae Park. Apparently on her birthday, she disappeared off the face of the earth. She was finishing up her PHD in engineering, bachelors in science, and a masters in business at some ivy league college over there. She choose not to include the name of said school because she knew that it would bug me.

It does not say why but it does include a redacted file about Tae and Kaiden Park, her father, from the FBI. Apparently Tae had filed some sort of charges, the type was currently redacted so I have no idea as to what, against her father. She must have used one of her contacts there to get her hands on that. It looks like after the investigation was started, Kaiden and his wife got a divorce.

The file contained a multitude of pictures of the woman but the time stamp ended the day she went missing. I loaded one of the videos of Tae as she gave a guest lecture about incorporating local and foreign culture into the design and structure of a building. I became so enamored by the way she spoke so passionately about the subject. She was a strong minded woman who clearly had a bright future ahead of her, not to mention she was extremely beautiful. She was the exact same as I remember her a year ago when I meet with one of my old professors.

She barged into his office and started lecturing him, the professor, about why he cannot build his current project which was a building that was being built in a coastal town. I watched on in amazement at how spot on she was about everything and how she was able to see the fault in his plans just by hearing about them in class not even ten minuets ago. She didn't spare me any mind during her rant. Even when she was done and the professor was thoroughly embarrassed to be lectured by her in front of me, she didn't look my way. Just march out of the room. I was informed that that was Tae Park a certified genius who was taking his class at the behest of her father, but went to a different school. Since then I have been obsessed with her, but it wasn't much later that she dropped off the face of the earth and I started to work with my father and take over as CEO.
