The CCEO’s Hidden Identity

RED chased Euna as quickly as he could, the mall was packed with people because today is Sunday. As soon as Euna mingled with the crowd, she almost disappeared from his sight.

“Shit! She runs so fast!”

And with the speed at which she was running, he was afraid that the mall guards might just pick them up and mistake them for shoplifters!

“Oh hell!” he cursed under his breath.

He noticed Euna climbing up. Where will she go? The exit of the mall is not there!

But of course, he was only asking himself questions and complaining that the running he was doing was out of breath because he knew in himself that he wouldn’t let Euna go home now without them talking.

He needs to be able to explain to her what she witnessed. He still hoped that somehow she would understand him.

Red had that thought when his knees gave up from running so he rested for a while. Another thing is that the way Euna took to run was an uphill slide! So it’s really breathtaking.

Yes, she went to the parking lot of the mall for a reason he didn’t know!

Now he is really more impressed by Euna, seriously! She doesn’t seem tired from running since earlier.

“RED Henson. One of the Hen’s Boys of Director Vladimir Henson, why did you stop? Are you giving up? Immediately?” Reyna mockingly said to Red. She suddenly appeared beside him while he was panting from exhaustion and holding onto his knees.

His eyes widened automatically when he heard from Reyna. “Y-You knew…”

She nodded. “I already knew it even this day hadn’t happened yet. I’m sorry, I never thought that you and Euna would reach out like this. I didn’t know that Hen’s Boys Donuts belonged to you an your family.”

“I…” Red didn’t know what to say. If his brain is going to put words in his mouth, why does the process take so long?

“Euna ran really fast,” Reyna said again, “She brought home many medals when we were studying because of her speed and agility in running. Do you know that she blames herself for the fire that happened before because of your family, because she can ran fast and she saved her nephew and nieces and herself because of that. But her running skill was still lacked then. She still couldn’t catch the fire that consumed their house and end her family’s life.”

Silence.

Red’s not numb, he could feel that Reyna had not finished speaking.

Reyna who is sympathy can be seen on her face now. Sympathy for him…

“Euna doesn’t know yet. All she knows is what happened today so I hope you can tell her everything too.”

“Reyna, ahm…”

“Again, I’m sorry, I didn’t know Hen’s Donuts was yours, it just happened to be Henson Donuts. Well, I wish I hadn’t taken Euna there earlier. But it’s over, it’s over now.”

“I understand.”

“I just hope Euna can understand you too.”

Reyna’s eyes and words seem to mean something.

“What do you mean?”

“Euna has an issue with the rich people. First, because her father is also a rich businessman like you. Her father left her mother. That’s why even though life is difficult and her father knows Euna, she never asked for help to him. Second, because her father was also rich like those people who set the railroad on fire.”

“Del Fierro? Is this the certain Del Fierro Hotels?”

Reyna’s answer to him was just a nod. Then she gave her a sympathetic look before turning away.

He just followed Reyna’s back. But after a while he was shaken- he had to be ahead of Reyna to get close to Euna because the latter would definitely go home when she and Reyna met!

He immediately ran again. It doesn’t matter to him now that the road he’s running is uphill. Until he passed Reyna on her way. He didn’t look at her anymore and just continued running.

RED caught Euna lying on the cold floor of the parking lot of that mall, right next to her car. She was sitting on her own knees, crouched position. He wasn’t even sure if she was crying.

“B-Babe…” He hesitated whether to touch her or something, but he still approached her and slowly put his arms around her even though he was still panting from the run.

Euna sobbed, a sign that she was crying.

“Babe, look, I’m sorry. I was going to tell you everything, just in case you’re here now, you already knew. That’s why I’ve been busy the past few days because I’m fixing it. I’m fixing this for us…”

“How are you going to fix it? For keeping me looks like a stupid, right?”

“Babe…”

“It hurts, Red!” Euna yelled, her eyes filled with tears.

Red clenched his fist. He is the reason for her crying. For a man who promised that it would be fun to get her out of the comfort zone, he used to be very dumb now.

Euna violently wiped away her tears. “I wish you had just told me! I wish you had just told me!” she said it weakly, she was so strong that he could feel that he was really angry at what he had discovered.

“Euna-”

Euna stood up, shook her butt and then dashed away from Red’s palm that was anchored on her arm.

“Euna, please listen to me, first. We’ll fix it okay? We can fix it… it can’t be.”

“Which one? Maybe you’re delusional, CCEO Red Henson, hey, wake up. The Red I knew and loved was the railroad delivery rider and not the CCEO they say. Not the CCEO that is now in front of me.” Euna seemed to measure him when she looked at him from head to toe.

He was singled out. He is still wearing formal clothes now, the point is that he is far from what Euna says is a rider…

So his girlfriend looks at him with full of disgust.

Still clenching his fist he said, “Stop saying that, Euna.”

“Here, hey, CCEO Red Henson!” said Euna, pointing to the front mirror of her car. “The sticker on your car was so big that I easily guessed that this Ford was yours. I actually went to your car to tell you that you can get out of my life, Red.”

No, Red doesn’t want to cry. Euna was just confused and given that because of what she discovered.

“Euna…” Red tugged his own hair in annoyance.

He was annoyed because he was still out of breath from running earlier but here was Euna, just chilling from the chase between them and really determined to fight him.

“What? Are you going to tell me now that you’re out of breath? You’re out of breath huh?” Euna quickly rushed to him and hit him on the chest.

When Euna didn’t stop hitting him, he tried to take her arms. “Obviously? It’s terrible, I ran a long way to chase you, Euna, and now you just tell me to get in my car and leave.”

“Hey, you’re crazy.”

To Red’s surprise, after Euna wiped away his nasty tears that kept flowing down her cheeks, she hit him. It’s a crisp neck and it really rings!

“Ouch!”

“You deserve it!” She wasn’t satisfied yet, when Red tried to pull her arm off just as she was turning away, she quickly kicked him in the butt.

“Are you okay?” And of all those who ask if someone is okay, who knows they are not, Reyna seems to have the coldest expression.

A few moments later, Red’s cousins ​​appeared on the scene.

“OMG! R, what happened?” Red’s cousin Haya asked and approached him immediately.

“I don’t know what good medicine for that, Red. But try a cold compress,” that’s all and Reyna left them there too.

The f? Seriously? Cold compress? And what if his friend ‘down there’ couldn’t stand again because of that ice?
