Dear Miss Roe,


    My name is Kei, and I''ve heard about you since a long time ago but have never had the privilege to see you perform in person. I live far away and can only admire from here.


    I particrly liked listening to you y the piano, and my admiration skyrocketed when I found out we''d met before. You might not remember me, but I remember you so well as if we just met yesterday.


    I used to want to follow in your footsteps to be a pianist, but I have no talent in it. In the end, I decided to y the cello, and now I am very good at ying it.


    If you wish, it would be my honor to do a duet with you.


    Along with this email, I attached a file from my ying. Feel free to let me know what you think about my presentation.


    From your admirer,


    K


    ***


    Roxy''s eyebrow raised after reading an email from an unknown name.


    This sender admitted they had met before? Why didn''t she remember it?


    Who is this sender?


    Roxy grabbed her phone and called her assistant to ask about this mysterious sender.


    "Dani, what''s so interesting about the email you showed me?"


    "Have you listened to the track file?"


    "Not yet. I just read it, and he said he knows me." Roxy downloaded the attached file while she was talking to Danielle. "Do you know this person named Kei?"


    "No. I thought you recognized him because he said you two met."


    "Nope. I never had a young acquaintance named Kei. Unless he were an ugly boy that could be easily forgotten, I would remember him somehow."


    "Maybe you''ll remember after listening to the song."


    "Why do you think so?"


    "Because you yed the same tune in the early days I was your assistant."


    "What tune?"


    "You haven''t yed it over these two years. I''m sorry, I never ask the title, and I''ve never heard it in anywhere."


    "..." Roxy tried to remember what song she used to y around three years ago, but she recalled nothing. "I don''t remember. I''ll just listen to it now."


    "Okay. I can prepare everything in case you want to invite him over."


    "And let Den kill him? No, thanks." Danielleughed, amused at that. "Is there anything else that I should know?"


    "There was an invitation to the Vienna orchestra, but I''ve turned it down. And there was also a request from the film industry to make a music soundtrack that fits theirtest film genre. Will you ept it?"


    Roxy opened her schedule on herptop and saw that she was still on vacation until mid-January.


    "I should be able to do it if no mishap happens. Send me their disposition list. I''ll give it a try first."


    "Okay."


    After ending the call, Roxy opened the file she had just downloaded and listened to the audio. But Den walked up to her and spoke in a serious tone making Roxy mute the audio.


    "Roxy, there''s something I need to tell you."


    "Okay. What is it?"


    "I''m leaving for Montana the day after tomorrow and will probably be back on Tuesday or Wednesday."


    "Business trips?"


    "Something like that. But," Den took a deep breath before continuing his sentence. "I don''t know if this trip will end up in a contract deal or something else."


    "What do you mean?"


    "This person required me to go there to do the deal, even though somebody else could do it in my ce. I''m only a temporary director in BPE, and I intend to hand over my position to Jacob."


    "But Jacob is still young."


    "I know. That''s why I train him."


    "I could imagine his frustrated face." Roxy giggled teasingly when she saw Den''s brow furrowed in displeasure. Is this guy jealous of Jacob? "Go on."


    "But for some reason, this person wanted to meet me. Apart from my father and major shareholder, no one knows I work at BPE." Den hardly everes to BPE firms because he was busier with his work as a lecturer at M University and Oscar Security.


    Not to mention that he needed to perfect the god eyes project, so he had no time to take care of the project at BPE. But asionally, he woulde when there was a shareholders'' meeting or his father summoned him. Otherwise, he would note.


    "You can refuse if you don''t want to go."


    "Yes. I did reject it. But as soon as I saw this person''s face, I changed my mind."


    "Hmm? Why? Could it be that she is a woman? Is she prettier than me?"


    Den chuckled in amusement at her teasing tone. "He''s a guy, and his name is Dario Gonzales."


    Roxy''s pair of eyes widen at that. "You mean… The Dario Gonzales?"


    "You know him?"


    "No, but I''m sure my father knows him. He owns the biggest oil mine in the world! If I remember correctly, years ago, he used my father''s bank to buynd in Montana, and now it''s a food factory."


    "I see. What a small world, isn''t it?"


    "You can say that. But what about him? Why did you change your mind when you saw his face?"


    Den took out his phone and showed Roxy a photo of Dario Gonzales.


    Roxy nced at the photo and gasped in surprise to see it. She saw an older version of Den! Shepared the image on Den''s phone to Den himself.


    "Wow, you guys look so much alike. Could it be… he''s your birth father?"


    "There''s only one way to find out."


    "Is that why you changed your mind?"


    Den nodded his head once. "I have never looked for my father because I don''t know my father''s name. What I do know is that my father is a wealthy man because we live in a big house, and he seems to own a bigpany." Den looked at Roxy lovingly as if just looking at her would calm his heart. "My mother took me away from my father''s house when I was four. I don''t really remember my father."


    This is the first time Den has told her about his birth parent.
