It Might Be You... Who Knows? (Sec. 2/Chapter 9 -Page 4/4)
It Might Be You... Who Knows...Sequel Story: The King and I (Will start at Chapter 537)Continuation....
Sooyoung obliges and thinks – “well, yeah – I need it so badly” but when she opens the car window - gets a shock of a lifetime loosing herself into by what she views - is an out of this world place… She thinks, “It is not even near yet to the gate”. The road they are entering is a wide estate, separating is another gate entrance which is like 2 miles from the gate they have just entered. The road is wide and superbly polished, so warm – that you can feel the wind kisses your cheek, and so very special environment with authentic surroundings – fabulous gardens, man-made waterfalls can be seen in different areas with a lake at a distant almost covered with various seems like stunning colorful trees and wild flowers and what strikes her most are the post lamps designed artistically – Sooyoung thinks – which adding all the post lamps they pass by – cost like millions of dollars.
Sooyoung seems to be in a “still aghast state” says
Sooyoung: Mr. Taeyang – what is this place?
Taeyang: Oh, I almost forgot – Ms. Jessica say’s she is sorry that she has to bring you all the way up here. She
wanted to meet you near to your place however she didn’t like the idea of having it too business like.
She originally planned of having to take you somewhere other than this place but due to time constraints;
this is how she can somehow manage at a quicker time possible. Just hold on a bit as we will be entering
the main entrance of their house in twenty minutes.
Sooyoung: Mr. Taeyang – I feel like am in a field trip entering some sort of a castle-like feel environment.
Taeyang: Oh – wait till we enter the main entrance.
Sooyoung: whatt? Ahh.ok..
After seems like forever of gasps and wide mouth gaping, Sooyoung is yet again confronted with enormous beyond belief wonderful view when entering Jessica’s manor main entrance.
Besides the wonderful surroundings – there is a part where the place is designed after a small village somewhere in Indonesia – she remembers it well as she travels a lot too. An amazing water palace is built almost enclosed or surrounded by another nice garden with mature trees – highlighted with detailed wild blossoming flowers as coastlines and number of canary kiosks definably placed in between to add more life to it.
In another part of the area is yet an overwhelming sight beyond compare; a meticulously maintained garden somewhat 1 hectare part of the estimated 10 hectares of the estate “she sees this unusual arrangement of hibiscus flowers - it looks like an arch of tropical flowers. At that moment, Sooyoung wants to get out of the car to experience this wonderful beauty she sees – what she finds it so amazing is how the hibiscus in a unique way - the stigma and stamens - are beautifully arranged along the style - a light breeze, cause them to sway in different directions.
Instantly overwhelmed by what she sees thus causes to having this feeling of being on 'Top of the World'. Almost feeling light-headed she says,
Sooyoung: Mr. Taeyang – is this how rich they are? I can’t even imagine deciphering what is all around me. I mean –
am just overwhelmed by just watching…
Taeyang: (laughs at Sooyoung’s remarks) Same here Ms. Sooyoung. By the way, we are almost up there…
Sooyoung: What up there?
Taeyang: Their Manor…
Sooyoung: What?
With Taeyang’s statement, immediately Sooyoung checks what is up there – A huge manor house almost – like a castle – seemingly if you watch it from afar – it is almost touching the clouds. Sooyoung engulfed by the whole scenario just manage to stay quiet until they reach the main door of the Jessica’s place.
Sooyoung: Mr. Taeyang, this place is going to give me a heart attack…
Taeyang: (chuckles yet again) Ms. Sooyoung, Ms. Peirre is waiting for you…
As the main door entrance opens, she is greeted by Jessica herself…
Jessica: Hi, Ms. Sooyoung – is it alright if we get rid of the formalities and just call you Sooyoung? By the way, just
call me Jessica, ok?
Sooyoung: (catches her breath quickly) oh yes… It is definitely just fine – Ms.,. I mean, Jessica.
Jessica: Come in! (Quickly calls on a small device – just after a lady appears) Ms. Jung, can you possibly arrange
beverage and light food for us at the foyer area?
Jung: Yes Madam…
Jessica: Sooyoung; feel at home, ok?
Sooyoung could just afford to nod at the whole scenario and just waiting for the main purpose of this meeting.
Jessica: The reason I want to see you is that – I learned that you are…..wait…what..oh.. (What stops Jessica from
talking is a descending helicopter sound from not far place) wait a second … oh I did not know he means
what he said…
Sooyoung quite puzzled by what she means composed herself and waits what’s coming. Just then, everyone in a quick pace manner forms a welcoming line – which Sooyoung finds it so amazing…in wonder… who is the person coming but keeps quiet and continuously observes. Then suddenly, an extremely handsome man comes in; hugs and kisses Jessica which also makes Sooyoung astounded by the scene unfolding her. Until…when the man’s speaks – Sooyoung gets back to reality…
JP Owen: So, you are the person who Jessica is talking about.
Sooyoung: Oh, good afternoon sir!
Jessica: oh – Sooyoung my Dad, Mr. JP Owen! Dad – Sooyoung, yes she is!
Sooyoung: (rendered speechless – bows) Good day Mr. Owen.
JP Owen: So, have you told her what the purpose of this meeting, yet?
Jessica: Oh I was about to but you arrived…so you mind telling her?
JP Owen: Alright then, come let’s – where do you want to go sweetie?
Jessica: By the foyer Dad…
JP Owen: Ok, let’s go (puts his arms at Jessica’s shoulder)
On the way to the foyer area, Sooyoung can not help but be in awe of the “Father and Daughter” relationship. She feels so overwhelmed that she got the chance of a lifetime experience to meet the extraordinary and highly respected person – Mr. JP Owen – and that an added plus is that – He is Jessica’s father. So Owen speaks,
JP Owen: The reason why we called you here is that we want you to arrange a Wedding Gown for my daughter –
Jessica here. She admires your designs – I have given her famous wedding designers but she chose you.
I want it to be beautifully outstanding but not exaggeratedly decorated, if you know what I mean.
Sooyoung: (finding out the real reason – makes her more excited but reserves it anyway) Thank you very much for
trusting me, Mr. Owen and Jessica.
Jessica: Sooyoung, yes – I love your designs. So would you like to accept our request?
Sooyoung: I am deeply honored to accept this request.
JP Owen: So Sweetie, now it is settled – I am deeply satisfied. Show us the designs when you are done; so we can
choose from amongst it. By the way, do us a favor not to tell that Jessica is my daughter for precautionary
measures as well as; I will greatly appreciate it if you do not mention that you have met me.
No one in the business world knows who I am and certainly have not met me – I am normally; for
business meetings and social gatherings, is majorly represented by my daughter, Jessica – which also
they know not, she is my precious daughter.
Given our status position; Jessica chose to use her mother’s surname, to allow her to move freely. Her
mother passed away after giving birth to her. I love my daughter very much and I want her to live a very
normal life away from the prying world of people using every opportunity to gain advantage as well as
those captor who will do us harm. I hope you understand our situation and will certainly take care of us as
well.
Sooyoung: Yes Mr. Owen, you can put your trust in me.
Jessica: Thanks Sooyoung. I am very happy.
JP Owen: Thank you then. (Turning his gaze to Jessica) So Sweetie; while you’re at it, would you mind helping me
with these issues I have with some of our businesses. I will ask Ms. Joonie to bring all the files here
tomorrow so you can study and decide on it. Please, sweetie.
Jessica: Sure Daddy, just bring it here – oh, excuse us Sooyoung for just a minute.
Sooyoung: (pinches herself just to keep her sanity) S-su-sure…
Jessica: So Daddy, are they major issues and in what business sectors are we talking about and where?
JP Owen: hmmm… As far as I remember coz Ms. Joonie has the files, anyway; one of our gas refineries, satellite
issues and 2 major business ventures. Let me know your ideas and as usual whatever is appropriate,
you decide. Thanks, sweetie – I will come here to see the designs – better be good…
Jessica: Ok, I will just wait for Ms. Joonie. Sure Dad and take care…
JP Owen: See you again Ms. Sooyoung and Bye Sweetie!
Sooyoung: Good day, Mr. Owen.
Jessica: Bye Dad…Love you!
JP Owen: Love you too, Sweetie (and kisses Jessica’s forehead).
Jessica: Thanks for your time Sooyoung about the cost of the gown – do let me know – how much?
Sooyoung: Oh, the cost – I will glad to offer it for free!
Jessica: What, really – oh, so sweet of you. Thanks. By the way, is that guy name – Leeteuk, at the party you were
with that night – your boyfriend? Oops sorry to snoop on your personal affairs – it’s just that – you look so
good together, you know!
Sooyoung: Oh…do you think so?
Jessica: Gosh, are you kidding me? Yes… I will be very happy if you end up together. By the way, I am 20 years of
age and you?
Sooyoung: what – 20 years of age – no wonder you look so young? If you don’t mind, why marry young? I am 24
years of age, by the way.
Jessica: hmmm… I guess I can not resist my Dad’s wishes, you know. And I like Heechul so I guess it is alright. I
also would like to start a family – you know… you are 24 – so here in Korea – you are my Eonnie, is it?
Sooyoung: Wow…you are so mature…I am pretty amazed by you. Eonnie? Yes, I would be glad but Sooyoung is
alright…
Jessica: Alright then – can I hug you?
Sooyoung: (oh my god, she is so sweet – mentally slapping herself not to look stupid in front of her) S-sure, here (so,
she hugs Jessica).
Jessica: Thanks and I don’t want to waste too much of your time coz I know – time is valuable. Call me when you
are done with the designs so we can meet again.
Sooyoung: Sure.
Jessica: Let me walk you to the main door where Mr. Taeyang is waiting.
Jessica walks Sooyoung to the main door and bid each other goodbyes. Inside the car, Sooyoung can not express her feelings of admiration towards Jessica and her father – which she says to Taeyang…
Sooyoung: Mr. Taeyang, they are both so wonderful… I can’t believe it… they are powerful people yet so down-to-
earth.
Taeyang: (laughs) Yes Ms. Sooyoung – she is and Mr. Owen as well.
Sooyoung: Mr. Owen told me that Jessica manages almost all his businesses – Oh my gosh – she is so brilliant if
that is the case – at a very young age… am not even – I don’t know, a percent of her achievements?
Taeyang: Yes Ms. Sooyoung – apart from her own businesses that she rightfully managed to establish… She is a
respected person in the business world – Ms. Jessica is known to the business world as Mr. Owen’s right
hand staff and not her daughter. I believe you are well-informed by this time by Mr. Owen.
Sooyoung: Yes and I am going to keep that promise.
Taeyang: Thanks Ms. Sooyoung. They don’t disclose themselves but only to select few; like me, Ms. Joonie and
the in-house staffs. Secrecy is strictly upheld and required for safety reasons. I guess she trusts you.
Sooyoung: And how about Heechul?
Taeyang: Not the entire yet – and right now – is bewildered by the whole thing. But, one thing am pretty sure of is
that – she loves Ms. Jessica very much even at the first time they met – even without knowing who really
is Ms. Jessica. Just like you, Heechul was shocked when he learned that Ms. Jessica is Mr. Owen’s
daughter.
Sooyoung: So that is how it is – why Jessica likes and loves him back too. Heechul loves her no matter who she is –
and got a shock of a lifetime, for cyring out loud.
Taeyang: Indeed.
Sooyoung: What a beautiful story – so inspiring yet intense.
Taeyang: Here we are Ms. Sooyoung.
Sooyoung: Thanks Mr. Taeyang (goes out of the car and waves at Mr. Taeyang). Bye!
Taeyang: Bye and Have a nice day.
Sooyoung seeing the car leaves; gets her mobile to call on…
Sooyoung: Guess what, I think I will be back…
