MIMI

With a smile on her face, Mimi picks up her phone from her dress pocket. Seeing the caller ID, Mimi"s eyes brighten.

Looking up from her phone, Mimi places her finger up indicating she was going to step out of the room.

The old couple nods their heads with faint smiles. Smiling, Mimi exits the living room.

"Jeanie!"

"Ms. Mimi, good afternoon. I hope I"m not disrupting anything?" Jean said from the other end.

"Of course not." Mimi chuckled. "What is it you called for?"

"Right. I wanted to inform you that Mr. Odo called not long ago saying he"d like to schedule an appointment with you."

"Eh? Mr. Odo did?" Mimi amusingly arched her brow.

Lee Odo. The old businessman who Mimi"s been partnered with for the past five years. An investor in her company who was there through the beginning of her company until it soon rose to fame.

When Mimi was searching for someone to invest in her recent system to help raise her profits quicker, Lee Odo appeared.

Mimi reached out to him, and being a small child at the time, she could only communicate through a computer screen or by sending in workers as her replacement.

For the next few years things were going smoothly, until he demanded a meeting with Andras. Face to face. Because Mimi had never shown herself to anyone in the industry, she was put in a tight position.

Or at least that"s how it seemed.

The day of the meeting Mimi arrived dressed as Andras. A fifteen-year-old boy who rose to fame quickly within the industry.

From then on, the two had become close and often shared ideas with one another.

Therefore, hearing his request to meet with her was slightly surprising since it had been quite some time since she last saw the old man.

"Approve it. Ask him if next Friday is alright." Mimi"s eyes sparkled brightly.

"Yes, Ms. Mimi."

"Thank you, Jeanie!" Mimi said before ending the call.

Skipping back into the living room where the others were, Mimi releases a faint smile.

"Grace, I have to go early a friend of mine wants to meet up. Thank you for having me over!" Mimi grins.

"Of course. Stop by any time girl." Grace said gently.

"En, I will!"

Alec, standing up from his seat, follows the girl out after saying goodbye to the two.

Approaching the apartment door, Mimi suddenly halts her steps, her body swiftly turning around.

"I forgot! Grace, by any chance do you still have some vegetables that I could have?"

Hearing Mimi"s words, everyone became silent – their eyes wide.

Did...did she just say she wanted vegetables?

Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, Grace eyes the girl in front of her.

"What for?"

"To eat of course, what else?" Mimi giggles.

She planned to eat them?! What in the world happened to the vegetable hater Mimi they all knew?

Even Alec couldn"t stop himself from staring at his sister with a stunned expression. He, who knew Mimi the longest knew exactly how much Mimi detested vegetables.

She had once said they were equal to their demon of a father.

Therefore, suddenly hearing her say she wanted to eat them stunned Alec completely.

Who was this and where was his little sister?!

Not noting their odd expressions, Mimi continues to smile, her head slightly tilted to the side.

"Ah...I do have some. But why so suddenly do you want to eat vegetables?" Grace asked hesitantly.

As if Grace asked the girl if she wanted a million sweets, Mimi"s eyes brightened even further. A golden light could be seen shining behind her.

"Because...I want to grow big b.o.o.bs!" Mimi bluntly answered.

Everyone stood in silence.

What.

What was wrong with this girl...

...

The day Mimi"s meeting with Lee Odo finally arrived. As Jean reported, Lee Odo scheduled a reservation at well-known and established western restaurant for the two.

Mimi, enjoying a love for all styles of food, gladly accepted the location.

She moreover knew it was ordinary for the elderly businessman to schedule meetings in public comfortable locations, so she wasn"t extremely surprised when she heard Jean report this.

Arriving at the restaurant as Andras, Mimi was kindly guided by a restaurant host, leading her to a public seating area where other customers were seated.

In all honesty, Mimi was quite surprised to be lead to an area among the other customers.

Although his meeting spots were always pleasant, they were nonetheless reserved in private rooms.

Unknown to Mimi, he did this because not only did an elite figure as himself draw in the attention of nearby customers, but due to Mimi"s outstanding and radiant looks it was difficult to not be the center of attention wherever they went.

As Mimi walked into the area, she took note of the familiar tall figure of the elderly man – his figure by a table beside a sunlit window.

The old man"s silver hair was neatly styled, and coal eyes glowed lightly in the gleaming light. The aura surrounding him was both dignified and relaxing as he drank the water in front of him.

Lifting his coal eye up, Lee Odo takes notice of the young boy with piercing green eyes walking in his direction.

With a warming smile, the silver-bearded man gestures for Mimi to sit across from him.

Sitting down, Mimi lightly nods her head in thanks to the host before turning to look at the old man across from her – an impa.s.sive smile spread across her sensual lips.

"I have to say, Mr. Lee, I was quite surprised when you called out to meet me. I don"t believe the deadline for the new project is up yet." Mimi said in a soothing tone.

Chuckling lightly, Lee Odo places his cup down. "Always getting straight to business I see. Why don"t we order something first, then we can get down to business?"

Arching her brows amusingly, Mimi lightly releases a helpless sigh before lifting the menu in front of her.

While Mimi and Lee Odo quietly read their menus, the other customers seated nearby secretly glanced at the pair occasionally.

The minute Mimi walked in, various eyes were glued to her handsome and youthful figure.

With delicate, almost feminine features and dressed in a royal blue Italian suit, everyone was unable to shift their eyes off the young boy.

What was even more shocking was the fact that the person he was seated with was Lee Odo – a well-known businessman who had been in the industry for over two decades.

During the time Lee Odo first entered the restaurant, many recognized him almost instantly as the western restaurant they were in was popular among celebrities and elite figures.

After the old man was seated, they all decided to return to their meals respecting his presence and privacy.

However, those who were curious would glance toward him, instantly noting the vacant seat across from him as if he were expecting someone.

a.s.suming he was there to meet a friend from the industry or a client, everyone minded their own business.

Of course, that was until Mimi walked in...

Lee Odo, noting the glances the attractive boy across from him was receiving he could merely shake his head hopelessly.

This was exactly why he always reserved private rooms...
