I accidentally married a "CEO"

"What do you mean there's no available seat in any flight living tonight? Lea is speaking with the travel agent.

"I'm sorry Mam! But we are fully booked right now. An award is going on in Korea, and we're overbooked as we speak." The travel agent said apologetically to Lea.

" Forget it then!" Hang up and went to the now much calmer Ann waiting for her news.

"Sorry! Best friend, no go! It seems that no flight is available, how about I check for tomorrow?" Lea was coaxing Ann to cheer her up.

"It's alright! I'm too tired anyway. I was just upset earlier. Will play it by ear ok!" Ann told Lea. Tiredness is visible in Ann's beautiful face.

"Why don't you go on home first, I need to stop by at the Hospital on the way home to report. Have some dinner ready and will have a quiet night at home. How's that!" Ann's trying to sound cheerful, but sadness is still lurking in her voice.

" Alright! Will do! Be careful on the way to the Hospital, make sure those bodyguards of yours that getting big bucks work their worth." Lea gathered her belonging, bid Ann goodbye, and then head home.

==========

On the way to the Hospital, Ann decided to take a quick shut-eye. She was so tired and burned out.

The ride to the Hospital was smooth; the traffic was not bad considering it's rush hour. The driver of the Car played mellow music for Ann to listen and relax.

As Ann was listening to the tune of Bryan Adams song 'Heaven.' She couldn't help herself from singing along. She was so engrossed with her sing-a-long and did not realize that her driver was recording her at the same time.

' Her voice is so Angelic; I can listen to her all day long and never tire listening. Hope she never finds out that I'm recording her voice, It's for my personal use anyway. It should be alright.' The driver was trying to comfort himself that what he's doing is not wrong.

They finally arrived at the Hospital as the music ended. Ann prepared herself to get out of the car when the driver told her to wait.

Still a lot of reporters, it seems something is going on again. "Miss. Wen, if you please! wait just a minute, will go around back to the private entrance and you can get out of the car from there."

" Alright!" She sat back down, and the driver turns the car around. Ann was able to go up to Albert's VIP room without delay.

*Knock Knock* She pushed the door a little to peek. "May I come in?" Ann asked as she slowly makes her way to Albert Tan who's been anticipating her arrival.

" Sure! Sure!, come and sit here by my bed, will you? " Happiness showing in he's now older but still handsome face. Alber's is only in his mid 40's, but due to the accident, his far, impressive feature is still black and blue with bruises.

"How was your first day at the office? Did anyone give you a hard time? I tell you! If anyone dares to do so, say the words and I will make sure they never see the daylight. Hahaha!" Albert jokingly told Ann making small talk.

" How are you?" Went closer to the Albert then gave him a light embrace.

Albert's gazed at Ann's now haggard looking face. "What have you been doing to be in such a state. Have you eaten? It's not good! Anyone out there?" He called out.

"Yes! Sir!" A Nurse on duty was standing by in the adjoining waiting room.

"Is my Mother here? If she's here tell her I needed her here, Pronto!" He ordered the Nurse on duty.

" It's alright, please! don't. If possible, I would like to have a couple of minutes of your time to report; then I'm heading home to get some rest." Ann pleadingly asked Albert with a Dowey eye.

"Ah! alright!" He turned to the Nurse. " Forget it then, If my Mother is there, don't mention about me having a company, you got it!" He ordered the Nurse. He Nurse acknowledged his warning and retreated to the other room without uttering a word to the Old Lady about Ann.

Ann who's seating by Albert's bed was curiously staring at him. Not a word comes out of her mouth. She just stared and stared and emotion is starting to form on her face.

She's so immense in her thought she did not realize that tears began to go down from her beautiful face.

Albert's saw all this and wanted to comfort his daughter so bad, afraid that if he suddenly embraces her that she will bolt out of the room. He decided to wait for Ann to make the first move.

Ann grabs hold of Albert's hand and looks him in the eyes with tears still flowing. " I only want to know one thing today; I don't want to talk about everything yet. Only one! is that alright with you?" She asks him with sadness in her eyes.

Albert nods his head and motion for her to continue.

" Did you know about me? I mean before I showed up here in Asia creating havoc with everyone's lives, did you know already? That you have a daughter somewhere in America?" Ann is anxiously waiting for Albert's reply.

Albert then found the courage to embrace Ann. He then whispered to her in a very soothing voice; "No! I had never known about you till that day we met at Jeff's office. Your Mother seems to forget that I'm your Father. Hahaha!"

"If I knew about you at that time, I would not have married Claudia's Mother regardless of the consequences. I would have chosen you and your Mother over Tan Corporation. " Albert Tan sadly informed Ann.

"But How can she tell you about me when you just left without a following address.?" She asked.
