Just as Fa Han was thinking of the possibilities, his phone rings. He looked at the screen and it was the King on the other line. He knew that the King will inquire information about the woman, so he already acted beforehand. Fa Han picked up the phone and updated that she avoided all the camera, her face was not properly captured so he could not do a background run through in the database. This news makes the King even more furious.After hanging up with Fa Han, the King then called Long Kue and demanded to know the truth to which Long Kue couldn"t disobey so he told the King her ident.i.ty, but he elaborated that Prince Hue Chi is only using her because Long Kue is tied up.
Lue Han was actually not feeling well, and he"s stepping in to take most of the responsibility, and Yu Sha just happens to be relieved to do sedentary work. That was why she was being utilized. The truth is, Ether have enough manpower to handle the conference fair which makes it hard for the King or anyone to believe.
The King didn"t believe all of what Long Kue but he was not as mad as earlier. After he hung up, he called Long Kue"s father to research on Yu Sha"s background.
It was only a matter of 10 minutes later, everyone on the Elite Social Circle knew of her ident.i.ty, she is the contractor for one of the ongoing project Ether is in charge with. They were aware of the two ladies and saw the ladies at the banquet before the project starts, but the Yu Sha and Su Na looked different then since they were dressed up.
Although Yu Sha may look like an ordinary secretary earlier, they knew that Su Na and Yu Sha, two young women fresh out of college with no wealth or prestige to back them up had already made their marks in three countries at an unbelievable rate.
These people in the Elite Social Circle were born into wealth and prestige and it took several generations of their ancestors to build the empire they have today. The only thing Yu Sha and Su Na lack was a prestige n.o.ble background tied to their name. If they were to have that, they could also compete for the position of the future Queen even if they are from a different country. Although, the citizens and everyone else in Aires would prefer an Aires native-born as Queen, but if the citizens come to like the Queen enough, anyone with power and fame could become Queen. This was even more mind bottling for all those who seek such position for their daughter.
After Long Kue hung up the phone, he was shaking, and sweat drips down his face. His nightmares, what he thought of when he was in the cart checking in on the constructions with Prince Hue Chi a few weeks back might be true. Aires is not only composed of the King and Queen that rules over the country but backed by a power Elite Circle whose opinions matters just as much. The love life of Prince Hue Chi might be harder than it seems.
The Royal Family usually can"t pick and choose who they want to marry. Those born into wealth and prestige already have their life planned and mapped out for them in order to continue to monopolize the top. That"s how their empire was able to survive for centuries.
Back in the Penthouse, Yu Sha was idling with her cell phone. Instead of taking notes during the meeting, she used her phone to record while researched on some people that were present in the meeting since she doesn"t know all of them. She now has a good grasped of how Aires operated.
Yu Sha has never been in a room full of tensions in the airs and does not know much about politics. Her parents raised her and Yu Ping away from politics and they grew up like regular normal children. Her parents" wishes were for her and her brother to just be happy and free.
Yu Sha now feels like probing her mother of what she actually does. Her father could go back to work now that Yu Ping and she are all grown but why has he been working under the disguised of Chronos and work independently? Is it a way of her parents protecting her and her brother? Are there secrets her parents are keeping? Now that she actually spent the time to think things through, her family is full of secrets. She does not know much about her own heritage at all. After all these years, it never really occurred to her that her family may not be ordinary citizen.
Yu Sha now feels like she"s been very spoiled and ignorant all her life. She"ll have to do some research the next time when she is home.
Soon, the door creaked open and Hue Chi enters. The sight of him stopped Yu Sha from thinking about her family matters. She turned to look at Hue Chi in a displeased tone, she said, "I don"t get it, why you drag me to that meeting." She was implying to the meeting with the Aires Elite Social Circle. "I feel like I"m not supposed to be there." Yu Sha added.
He looked at her and internally felt bad. She does not know the rat race among the Elite Social Circle and somehow felt like he dragged her onto something she does not deserve to experience. In the end, he could only a.s.sure, "Don"t think too much." As soon as Hue Chi replied, a few knocks were heard on the door. Hue Chi welcomed them to come inside. Soon, the door beeped opens and three women came in one after another, one wheeling in a clothing rack, one wheeling a cart.
Yu Sha surprised at the commotion asked, "What"s going on here?"
"We have to get ready for the Charity auctions."
"What? Aren"t we going like this?" She had thought they were going to go the way they are.
"It"s a formal event, you"ll have to dress up."
