Superstar Husband & Genius Wife

When Ethan came out of his parent's room, he immediately returned downstairs and sat down at the dining table to cool off his emotions.

He did not understand at all why his mother wanted him to enter the world of business so badly. Yet Ethan was not at all interested or passionate in that area.

Why can't his own mother understand him? Didn't they have an agreement that if he majored in business, his mother would no longer comment on or forbid his dream of becoming a celebrity?

Lost in thought, suddenly a hand tapped his shoulder. Ethan didn't need to see who owned the hand because the person passed in front of him and opened the cupboard that was right in front of Ethan.

"You can drink, right?" Baek Hyeon asked, who took out a bottle of soju and then took out two small glasses.

"Isn't it too early for drinks?" Ethan asked.

"Nah, just drink, let me pour here," said Baek Hyeon. Ethan then took the glass and held it in both hands to show respect.

"Please forgive me," said Baek Hyeon suddenly after they drank 2 glasses of his drink.

"You even have to learn how to drink from other people," said Baek Hyeon, who suddenly felt sad because his son is already an adult.

Ethan, who heard the words, just said nothing.

"Don't hate your mama. Your mama is really just worried about you. You, who used to be hit by bad cases in the entertainment world, really made papa and mama worried when we first heard about it. Your mama doesn't want her youngest child to get involved and being spoken to like that by the media and the people," Ethan just remained silent when he heard this and was quite surprised because his usually quiet father had been talking to him so long.

"When your mama had a heart attack yesterday, she kept asking about you compared to Elena. Because according to her, your sister can take care of herself while for her you are still his favorite little boy."

"So when she saw you looking thin and looking like that, she became worried again whether you were in trouble and whether her decision to let you do what you wanted was the right one. She's just afraid that she will die soon and leave you alone who is her favorite,"

"One of the reasons that papa also allowed you to go to South Korea was so that you could stay away because you always took your mama's love," said Baek Hyeon who seemed to be getting a little drunk.

"Hah? Is his papa so in love with his mama that he even gets jealous of his child?" thought Ethan, belittling his father's love.

"For her, your future in the business world will be more secure than in the entertainment world. But, if you want to fight for your dreams, then go ahead. After all, you are now an adult so you can choose your own path. With you willing to grant papa's request to lead the company temporarily, that's more than enough!"

"Papa is proud of you!" Baek Hyeon said then stood up and patted Ethan's shoulder.

Ethan's eyes filled with tears when he heard that. He could feel the sincerity of his father's words, especially his father who was usually quiet.

"Ahh! It seems that drinking without fried chicken feels like something is missing, where's Mrs. Wati? I think there's a chicken in the fridge!" said Baek Hyeon who suddenly felt awkward and slowly headed to the second floor.

Ethan only smiled when his father was gone. His mood improved a little after chatting with his father.

Right! He just needs to prove to his mother that he can be successful even in the entertainment world!

But right now he has to do his best to lead the company, after all, his father must have done something to make his mother allow him to be in the entertainment world as long as he goes to study business, and Ethan is sure that this time his father will definitely help him persuade his mother!

"Mrs. Wati, please call Ethan to dinner," said Jia Li when Wati was setting food on the food table.

"Let me, ci," said Tuti who was helping Wati. Since Ethan's arrival, she never saw him again because her mother watched her do the housework. So this is a chance for her to see her oppa.

Wati looked at Tuti with a gaze, "Don't you dare," before finally saying, "Little Ethan said he wanted to eat in his room because he said he still had a lot of documents that he had to read," said Wati explaining.

"Oh," replied Jia Li who was a little disappointed because she hoped they would have dinner together, but she didn't want to force it because she understood that her son was studying NamTech's company documents.

"Are you sure you want to drive yourself to the office? Don't want mama to just call the secretary? How about your driver's license? The driver's seat is different from the one in South Korea," asked Jia Li when they were currently having breakfast together.

"Thanks for the food," said Ethan again when he only ate a few spoons of the food.

"Are you done? Here, try this food," said Jia Li who then started to get the side dishes that were on the dining table.

"I'll just eat at the office later. I'll go first, "said Ethan then took his briefcase and backpack.

"D*mn it! I'm late!" curse Carolina when she saw the clock on her cellphone screen, which showed at 7.03.

After returning from Bali, she immediately fell asleep when she arrived at her boarding room and woke up when it was night.

Unable to sleep, she finally decided to surf the internet and check Yui's condition, she just went back to sleep when it was 2.30 am.

Today was her first day of internship and she was told to come to the NamTech office at 8 am to meet the HR staff who accepted her.

"Yui!" called Carolina while opening the online motorcycle taxi application on her cellphone.

"Yes, mama?" asked Yui, an artificial intelligence created by Carolina.

"Look at the traffic from this place to the NamTech office, look for the closest distance and not too busy. Determine the estimated time to arrive."

"Okay," Yui replied.

"Mama, Yui found it. This is a route where the traffic is not busy, you can get there in 40 minutes," Yui replied shortly thereafter.

Carolina then walked over to her laptop screen to see the route of the road.

"40 minutes, huh? Well, I'm just gonna wash my face, otherwise, I'm gonna be late," thought Carolina and then went to the bathroom to wash her face.

After she finished dressing, her cellphone suddenly received an incoming call from an online motorcycle taxi she ordered earlier.

"Yes sir, I'll be out soon," replied Carolina who then put on her sneakers.

"Ah, I almost forgot," she said then took her campus alma mater jacket. This was her first day as an intern, so she decided to wear his alma mater jacket for today, the next day she plans not to use it again unless NamTech tells her to wear it.

After arriving in front of her boarding house, she again checked the online motorcycle taxi plate numbers he ordered.

"Carolina?" asked the online motorcycle taxi driver, handing her a helmet.

"Yes," replied Carolina and then put it on.

"Sir, later we will follow on the A road," said Carolina after riding the motorcycle.

"Okay."

"Thank you, sir," said Carolina after arriving at the NamTech office and handing over the helmet she was wearing.

"You're welcome, don't forget to give me 5 stars, OK!" said the driver reminded.

"Okay," Carolina replied and then looked at the clock on the screen of her cellphone.

7.50!

"Looks like my decision to make Yui wasn't wrong," thought Carolina with a satisfied smile.

"Good morning, Miss," said the security guard who was in front of the office when he saw Carolina about to enter the building.

"Morning," replied Carolina, then after entering the office, she was looking around, but after a while, she didn't know where to go. She then decided to approach an employee who seemed to be a receptionist.

"They must become early in the morning," she thought.

"Excuse me," said Carolina.

"Yes? Is there anything I can help with?"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Adam, the HRD staff,"

"Oh well, I'll confirm first. you can sit there first, Miss," said the receptionist employee, indicating the seat in the lobby.

After sitting on the seat, Carolina took out her cellphone to kill the time.

"Do you want to order the application too, miss?" suddenly a gentleman who was sitting not far from Carolina started talking to her.

Carolina stared at the man for a moment, the only one sitting in the lobby was her and the man. Is that man talking to her?

"Ah, no, I want to do an internship here," replied Carolina.

"I see. I heard that the CEO of this company fell ill and would be replaced by a new CEO," said the man again.

"Well, I don't really know either," said Carolina.

The man did not answer again and sat back in silence. Carolina, who also doesn't like small talk, decided to go back to reading manga on her cellphone.

Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder, "Excuse me."

"Yes?" Carolina replied and turned her head.

A white man in a black suit smiled awkwardly at her, but the problem was: Carolina had seen him before!

It was the red haired man she had met before!

The red apple!

"Why is that red apple here?!" she thought.
