Chapter 108 - 108 Is It Over?
Kim Eunji took the leverage over Alice\'s kindness and decided to take a shower in there. After she was done, Kim Eunji took the oversized hoodie and the jeans that Alice had prepared for her earlier back to her suitcase.
She decided to get a plain white shirt, a thin scarf, her leather jacket, denim jeans and her boots that was packed on a separate suitcase.
She also checked a few of her weapons, her daggers, kunais, needles, and her other killing equipment that she had which was separately packed in one huge suitcase. She placed a total of six daggers on the insides of her boots. She arranged seven kunai on the inside of her sleeves. She placed her needles inside her pouch and placed it inside the inner pockets of her jacket.
She placed her phone on the butt pocket of her jeans and took her black Chanel bag with her.
She then got the paper that she had managed to encode earlier before she had her shower. It\'s a notice to ask permission for leaving IU temporarily. Her dream was bugging her so much. How could she ignore it when she saw Nathan dying in her dream?
Yes, Alice also knew this side of her. And she was glad that the latter was not someone who\'s nosy.
Alice had been doing an excellent job as her assistant and she thought she had not rewarded her enough in the past. She thought retiring her as an assistant was a good idea. She was thinking of letting her free so she could do the thing she\'s passionate about. And besides, she\'s no longer EL.
She was planning to put up businesses for each one of them to manage here in China. It\'s a thank you gift for their hard work and working with her since day one.
Grabbing her aviator eye glasses, she went out of the RV. Alice was also on her way back together with some of her colleagues in the crew.
When they saw Kim Eunji in her outfit. They could not stop from ogling at her hotness. She\'s a perfect definition of being badass.
"Woah! Who\'s she? Are you hiding a hot girlfriend inside your RV sister Alice?" Her colleague asked. More of like teasing her.
Alice who was also in a daze suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately covered the latter\'s mouth before she could sprout more nonsense.
"Stop kidding! She\'s my friend. She\'s also a student here." Alice shortly explained.
"Alice!" Kim Eunji called her.
"Yes?!" Alice immediately rushed towards Kim Eunji like a good friend slash obedient assistant she was.
"I\'ll be leaving for the meantime. I\'ll try to convince the school director to let me go out until I find him. I have to find him or else I\'ll feel like I\'m going to get crazy!" Kim Eunji said in one breath which earned a chuckle from Alice.
"Relax! Calm down. Breath first, okay?" Alice tried to make Kim Eunji to calm down.
"I\'m calm right now." Kim Eunji refuted.
"Sure you\'re calm. Now...now. How long will you be gone?" Alice asked as she wanted to know that she\'ll at least be safe.
"It depends. Anyways, please take care of my suitcases first. I\'ll get them when I come back." Kim Eunji instructed.
"Sure. Go and find your man! I\'ll be expecting good news from you when you come back!" Alice held Kim Eunji\'s shoulder and guide her towards the direction of the hallway. Of course all she could do now was to support her. If Kim Eunji had set her mind into something, she\'s unstoppable.
"I will. Thanks. Please take care of my babies." Kim Eunji meant her weapons hidden in her suitcase.
"Don\'t worry. They\'re in safe hands." Alice reassured.

"How long will you be away Ms. Kim?" The school director and the dean asked as they looked at her.
"A week perhaps. There\'s an emergency at home that badly needs my intervention." She did not beat around the bush. She\'s not by any chance lying since Nathan was her family. He\'s her husband for d*mn sake.
"It\'s okay if you won\'t allow me. If I need to drop out, I will." Kim Eunji added which stunned the two.
Drop out? No way! There\'s no way they would let her go!
"Okay. One week. Can you manage to be back after seven days?" The school director had to compromise.
"Sure. Thank you Director, thank you Dean." Kim Eunji hoped that in that span of time, she could find Nathan. If not, she had no choice but to drop out still.
Nathan was her life. Everything would be meaningless and useless without him.
After getting the exit pass from the school director herself, Kim Eunji walked out of the office with her face held high.
Students could not stop not to look towards her direction.
"Where do you think you\'re going slut?" Jin Li Rong and her circle of minions who happened to had just come out from the gym and saw Kim Eunji coming out from the school director\'s office called her.
However, Kim Eunji chose to ignore her which made the latter to be furious.
"You! No one dared to walk away from me while I\'m talking bitch!" Jin Li Rong was about to grab Kim Eunji\'s hair to teach her a lesson when she was inches away, Kim Eunji grabbed her wrist out of reflex and place it behind the latter\'s back. The next second, she pinned her to the wall.
Everyone gasped as no one didn\'t expect that Kim Eunji could do it.
"Don\'t test my patience with you kid. You\'re no match with me. Even your brother could not save you if I\'ll decide to punish you by myself." Kim Eunji said in a low voice which was more like a whisper.
"Are you threatening me?! How dare you!" Jin Li Rong refuted.
"No! How dare you!" Kim Eunji tightened her grip on the latter\'s back. She\'s mad. Beyond mad. If this was the other time, she would choose to ignore her but she was in a hurry. How dare she delaying her.
"You\'re hurting me! Let me go!" Kim Eunji\'s expression turned cold.
"Try to be a bitch in front of me again next time and you\'ll see. I\'m not threatening you Lady Jin. I\'m reminding you. Act accordingly if you still want to have the title of being a Lady in the Jin family." Kim Eunji released Jin Li Rong\'s wrist harshly making the latter to be outbalanced and fell on the ground.
"You! I\'ll make you pay for this!" Jin Li Rong madly yelled at her.
"I dare you." Kim Eunji calmly said as she turned around and walked away towards the exit leaving Jin Li Rong yelling like a slaughtered pig.
Kim Eunji arrived in the parking lot just on time. Iris, Darren and Derek were already there waiting for her.
"Bring me to him." Kim Eunji said in her straight face.
"Lady Boss, what are you talking about?" Darren said as he tried to feign ignorance on what she was talking about. Since Kim Eunji was talking to them like her subordinates, Darren decided to address her formally this time which she didn\'t mind.
"You know what I\'m talking about. Bring me to where my husband is." Kim Eunji urged him to spill the news already.
There\'s no way in hell that she would just sit there in the corner and wait for her husband to come back.
"Lady Boss. Master Boss would be coming back after a week. He was just busy. Probably." Darren said almost pleading.
"Probably?" Kim Eunji scoffed as she heard that.
"You\'re not even sure. How would I know that he\'s fine?!" Kim Eunji expressed her frustration.
"Please. I\'m begging you guys. Bring me to him. Bring me to my husband!" Kim Eunji was clearly exhausted for everything.
"Fine! If you\'re not going to tell me where he is, I will look for him myself! And don\'t expect you can stop me with force. I can beat both of you and you both knew that." She gave them a glare, walked towards her car and opened it.
"Derek, should we really not tell her?" Darren could not bare to watch Kim Eunji almost breaking down.
When she begged him earlier, he could feel her feelings too.
"We can\'t. At least not yet. She would just be broken hearted if she found out what happened to Master. Iris supported us too." Derek said as he looked at Iris.
"I felt guilty lying to her. But we should not let her go alone. We should to!" Iris stated the obvious.
"Let\'s go and follow her!"
"But we haven\'t asked permission from the school director to ask for leave of absence." Darren pointed out.
"Screw that asking for permission thing! Don\'t forget why we are here in the first place!" Iris harshly reminded them and walked away.
Darren could only look at Iris\'s retreating back.
Leaving the two dumbfounded men behind , Iris rushed towards Kim Eunji\'s car and knocked on the door.
Kim Eunji rolled down the window and let the latter speak.
"I wanna go with you. Can I come?" Iris asked for her permission.
Kim Eunji did not say anything but Iris heard a clicking sound from the inside of the car.
She then grabbed the door open and got in.
When she saw that Iris had settled down on her seat, without a word, she started the car and drove off.
Iris kept on looking at Kim Eunji as if she was about to say something but decided not to since she knew that Kim Eunji must be disappointed with her.
Kim Eunji was about to drove near at the exit gate when they saw that it was on maintenance.
"Now what?" Iris asked her.
Kim Eunji had no other choice but to drove to the second exit of the campus on the South side.
She was half-way there when a black Maybach car deliberately stopped in front of her.
Kim Eunji stomped on the foot break the last minute or else she would definitely crashed on the latter\'s car.
The students who were present near the area were also stunned on what happened. The site happened to be where the crew of the drama were filming their scene therefore a lot of students were patiently watching the filming. But they were good audiences though. They never create a sound to not interrupt the actors\' actings and scenes.
Therefore, everyone were flinced and turned their heads when they heard the screeching sound of tires. Not from a far, they saw two cars almost crashed into each other.
The students immediately rushed towards the scene to check if someone was hurt or not.
Kim Eunji walked out of her car with a gloomy expression on her face.
She could not see who was driving it since the windows were very tinted that even the light could not pass through them.
The passenger side of the other car also opened. Kim Eunji\'s eyes widened when she saw a familiar figure coming out of the car.
"Marco? What are you doing here?" Somehow...Kim Eunji was hopeful that if Marco was there, then Nathan...
Seconds later, the back door of the car also opened. Kim Eunji could see a leg coming out and touched the ground.
Before the person could even fully came out, Kim Eunji didn\'t realize that tears were already flowing from her eyes and she was crying.
When the latter fully got out of the car, Kim Eunji...this time...Kim Eunji sobbed.
There he was. The man that made her so worried since Tuesday. Nathan...Her husband...her beloved.
Nathan looked at his wife full with complicated emotions evident in his eyes.
Even if there was a distance between them, Kim Eunji could see that. She saw the complicated emotions being displayed in Nathan\'s eyes.
\'Why are you looking at me like that Nathan?\' she asked herself. \'Are you going to tell me that you really don\'t love me and everything was just a game? Are you going to leave me now? Are you going to say goodbye to me now?\' Kim Eunji was having a lot of questions running in her head that it soon started to ache.
"Hubby?" Kim Eunji tried to call him but the latter only kept on looking at her.
Kim Eunji could feel her world crushing on the ground.
She could feel her knees went weak and her eyes turned blurry because of tears but still managed to stand up as she didn\'t want to collapse in front of him.
Not like this. If he was indeed there to end things between them, Kim Eunji would at least show her stubborn self to him. As if she had seen it coming from the very beginning.
\'Is it over for us?\' Kim Eunji asked herself one more time.
