Chapter 32
Elvis entered the room and saw Nari lying on the bed with her entire body covered with the duvet.
He sighed and entered the dressing room, taking a plain white polo shirt and pants.
He got out of the dressing room already dressed.
He saw Nari still lying on the position he had met her.
He goes close to her and pulled the duvet down a bit.
She looked at him, her face being downcast.
Elvis placed his hand on her hair, gently stroking it.
'I'm sorry about what happened, I'll talk to mom, okay?'. He asked earning a nod from Nari.
'Grandfather called, he wants to talk about the wedding, and also set a date for it, I'll be back late'. He explained looking at Nari with deep affection in his eyes.
'Hmm, drive safe'. She said with a small smile on her lips.
Elvis pecked her lips before standing up, and took his leave.
He got to the garage and entered his car, taking his phone from his pocket, he dialed Hyonjun's number.
'Sir'. He answered as the call connected.
'Cancel all my schedule for tomorrow, I'll be going to my mother's studio'. Elvis said and started the engine.
'Yes sir'.
The call ended and the car accelerated.
He got to the family mansion and parked in the underground garage.
He stepped out of the car heading towards the entrance of the mansion.
'Young master'. The servants greeted as he walked past them, heading to the study were his grandfather would be.
'Elvis'. He heard someone called.
He turned around and found Butler Oh walking elegantly towards him, his hands folded behind him and head slightly raised.
He looked elegant on his outfit, his bald haed was neat and his beards cleanly shaved.
Elvis bowed at the butler who was 5 years younger than his grandfather who was 89.
Butler Oh returned his greetings by slightly bowing.
'The old man is having a meeting with your grand aunt right now, I'm sure they would be done in a few minutes'. Butler Oh explained.
'Oh alright, I guess I was too early'. He said scratching his hair, embarrassed.
Butler Oh chuckled and shook his head.
'You're not the only one in this situation Elvis, Yoonjin is also here'. He said.
Elvis brows furrowed in confusion and anger.
'Where is he?'.
The butler shook his head and shrugged.
'I have no idea, he walked out when I informed him the old man was busy, but I'm pretty sure he's at the backyard'.
Elvis nodded in understanding and thanked him, as he watched the Butler leave.
Butler Oh is a busy man, who is in charge of the smooth running of the mansion every related issues, making sure everything in the mansion was coordinated, and this he did perfectly despite his old age.
Butler Oh has a wife, children and grandchildren but they have never come in contact with the Parks, since they all lived abroad.
Elvis went to the backyard and found Yoonjin on his phone, making a call which seemed to be important.
Yoonjin felt a presence behind him and turned, finding Elvis leaning on the door with his hands crossed, staring at him.
He sighed and turned around again, proceeding with the call.
It final ended and Elvis walked up to him with his hands tucked in his pocket.
'You must be quite busy, dear cousin'. He mocked.
Yoonjin rolled his eyes without saying a word, he was not up for an argument at that moment.
Elvis turned to look at him and tilted his head.
'Is it something related to our company?'. He asked, deliberately annoying Yoonjin, who shot him a hard glare.
'Our company…' Yoonjin mumbled and scoffed and continued.
'You can just call it your company Elvis, you're making it seem like I'm putting in a fight for it'.
Elvis jaw tightened at Yoonjin statement.
He felt like Yoonjin was deliberately mocking him, by say he was fighting for the company with him.
Yes, he was but coming from Yoonjin sounded offensive.
Just because Yoonjin had his own company which is among the top 5 best companies in the country, wasn't something he should brag about.
'What are you trying to say Yoonjin, be more obvious'.
Yoonjin laughed and nodded before walking close to him.
'I'm saying you're being too greedy for a company that would not be fully yours even if I happen to step down'. He breathed.
Elvis jaw clenched more, his fingers formed in a fist as he glared at Yoonjin who was equally do same, with an unbothered grin.
'You can stop now gentlemen'. They heard the voice of Butler Oh, causing them to turn their gaze towards the old man.
He looked unbothered since it was not the first time seeing them like that.
'You can go see the old man'.
With that he turned around and left.
Elvis stepped back from Yoonjin, arranging his shirt.He tucked his hand in his pocket and smiled.
'Shall we, dear cousin?'.
Yoonjin scoffed and walked past him, entering the house.
Elvis smirked watching him, he nodded his head and walked behind him.
'Oh my god, are those who I think they are?'. An advanced woman, standing next to the old man asked.
She looked identical to the old man but younger and with one glance it is obvious they are siblings.
She watched the two majestic looking men walking towards them. They both had a serious expression on, which soften as the got closer to them.
The old man looked at his grandsons and sighed, he knew they had gotten into an argument since they were together.
'JaeGyeong you did not tell me how grown my grandnephews are, oh my god'. She hits him playfully.
They got to where the elders were and bowed.
'Look how grown my boys are'. She grinned, engaging them in a tight hug.
'You look beautiful grand aunt, and younger'. Elvis complemented, earning a blush from her.
'Don't flatter yourself Jiho'. The old man hissed.
She glared at him, giving him a sarcastic look.
'You're just jealous that you're not as young as I am'. She answered.
'Grand aunt what do you mean, old man Park is young and handsome'. Yoonjin corrected.
Jiho rolled her eyes.
'Of course you would say that, JaeGyeong's sidekick'. She teased.
'I mean that's the reason I'm just as handsome as he is, I saw a lot of his youth days pictures'. Yoonjin smiled.
'Don't flatter yourself Yoonjin'. The old man said.
Yoonjin's rolled his eyes and crossed his hand.
'I was trying to support you old man'. He sulked.
Jiho laughed as she watched the duo, they looked like cat and mouse.
Yes, JaeGyeong is a very handsome man right from his childhood days making him the most sorted after suitor when he became a youth, even now that he is aged with all the wrinkles he is handsome still.
Jiho is the third among his 4 siblings, he the eldest.
She was the most closest to him, since they were from the same mother.
His father had gotten married to 2 wives, his mom being the first.
She died after Jiho's birth, and being that his father was a busy business man, he had to take care of his 1 year sister when he was 9, since his stepmother wanted nothing to do with them.
