Amazing Actor

"I am going to make an official announcement declaring Aera as the next CEO but the 70% shares will still be under my control."

Grandpa Lee looked at Aera, "Dear, as much as I appreciate the interest you showed in our business for the first time, I can't ignore the fact that you don't have a degree in business management like Kiaraa. You don't know anything about handling business but you seem to have the strong willpower to run it. Therefore, I'll make you the temporary CEO of the Lee conglomerate for the next six months in which you need to prove your worth to continue being the CEO."

Kiaraa was happy with this decision but her happiness didn't last longer.

Grandpa Lee then turned to face Kiaraa, "As you showed support towards your sister, I hope you would continue to do that. Therefore, I want you to train Aera and teach her how to run a business. Earlier, just like you suggested you will train Gun, do the same with Aera."

Kiaraa, who was happy until now, was shocked when she heard her grandpa's last request.

'WHAT THE FUCK!!!' She cursed this situation.

"But grandpa, I have my own business to handle and since I haven't been here for the last four months, I need to focus there. The reason I suggested I would train Gun was because he too is studying business management. Therefore, he won't take much time but with Aera it will be difficult." Kiaraa tried to get out of this situation.

"Hmm you are right but I really want both of you to run the business together, Kiaraa. Please reconsider my request, then we can come up with a plan to make this happen so that your business is not affected." Grandpa Lee patted her head.

"I'll think about it grandpa, give me some time" Kiaraa said, already thinking of ways to turn this problem into an opportunity.

Just then there was a knock on the door, grabbing everyone's attention and all the people looked at the entrance of the farmhouse.

"Long time no see, everyone" A man brightly smiled looking at everyone and when his eyes fell on Kiaraa, his smile widened and he stepped towards her.

"Kiaraa, you are indeed alive" He emotionally declared without losing that wide smile and tightly hugged her.

Just then Song Ji Hun stepped in the living room after finishing his call, only to witness, this handsome, young man tightly hug his wife.

Song Ji Hun clenched his fist in anger, as he was looking at the guy, he disliked the most since his childhood.

After hugging Kiaraa to his heart's content, Ian said, "Kiaraa, what is this miracle? I still can't believe you are alive and standing right in front of my eyes. You have no idea; how happy I am"

Ian excitedly said, he even acted like he had tears in his eyes.

'What an amazing actor, he is' Kiaraa thought to herself as it was Ian, who helped her fake her death but she normally smiled at him.

"I can see that" she said.

"Wow, Ian, you already reached here as soon as you got the news. Seems like you have some superpower to reach Boseong County so fast from Seoul" Song Ji Hun taunted him.

Ian turned to look at Song Ji Hun and now the two men were standing facing each other.

"Hey bro, sorry I couldn't make to your wedding today morning" Ian indirectly taunted him back and hugged Song Ji Hun, who didn't bother hugging him or patting his back.

When Ian moved away, his sight fell on the big hickey that was left by Kiaraa on the side of Song Ji Hun's neck.

For a moment, Ian lost his happy smile and frowned but within a second, he composed himself and looked away.

"Grandpa, your granddaughter is back, this calls for a celebration" Ian happily declared masking the pain he was going through right now.

"Absolutely, Ian. I am glad you are here" Grandpa Lee was happy to see him.

"Where is old man Kim? Why did he not show up for the wedding?" Grandpa Song questioned Ian as Ian is the grandson of their third best friend Kim Dong-il.

Grandpa Lee, grandpa Song and grandpa Kim were childhood best friends and they never let their businesses ruin their friendship.

That was why their friendship stayed strong all these years.

"Actually, grandpa was not keeping well and…" Ian was giving an excuse when grandpa Song interrupted him.

"Don't lie to us, we know that old man very well. Your entire Kim family didn't show up at the wedding to show your displeasure towards Aera and Song Ji Hun's marriage"
