I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband 495 My woman

Sei always knew that Zaki's skills in dealing with business wasn't bad at all. In fact, Zaki was the one who took over when Sei had to go oversees or when he spent time with his family. He was, after all, Sei's right hand since he started Red Empire. But Zaki always found the work boring. He didn't like sitting there dealing with officework all day long as he found it akin to being tortured. Sei knew it so he didn't force him nor gave him a position in his company. Well, Zaki even said so himself that he was fine being Sei's back up for the rest of his life and take over every now and then when he needed him. But now, things have changed.  

Red Empire had grown to unprecedented heights. Sei, as both the chairman and CEO of such a giant company demoted the former CEOs into presidents of each of the huge companies under Red Empire, Old man Mikazuki as the president of Mikazuki Industries, Mr. Chen for Chen Corporation, and Old man Zhao for Zhao Corporation. 

"Does this mean Red Empire won't have three presidents now?"

"That's obviously what the CEO has decided."

"So this is the reason why all three presidents stepped down simultaneously."

"Well, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Mikazuki were quite old now so it makes sense for them to do so."

"So this means that the younger brother, Mr. Zaki, is now the second in command for the Red empire, right?!"

"That's right. I believe that this man is probably the anonymous person who owns the second largest amount of shares in the company."

"Whoah, really?! That's amazing!"

"It's actually quite obvious now that he finally appeared."

"But don't you think Mr. Sei trusts his brother too much? He popped out of nowhere and we know nothing about his experience. Can he even manage to lead such a giant company?"

"Don't forget that this is the great chairman's decision. Did you really think that Mr. Sei, of all people, would ever make a decision that'll drag him down?" 

"Well, that's right. Looking at him, it somehow even feels like he is Mr. Sei's secret weapon all this time."

"That's… absolutely made sense."  

The viewers, especially the wise people at the top had immediately understood that Sei was now giving his younger brother a huge amount of power. Everyone's eyes were now focused on him. They could see just how much Sei trusted him making everyone believe that his role wasn't just that of a younger brother. After all, Sei chose him over his biological grandparents and father who had decades of experience in the business empire. 

The way the crowd looked at Zaki changed with a single announcement from Sei. It looked like it wasn't just Sei they couldn't afford to displease now, but this mysterious younger brother as well. 

When Sei gave the stage to Zaki for him to speak, Zaki's eyes roamed around the hall and when he spotted Hinari, his gaze stopped at her. Hinari smiled widely at him, her eyes twinkling as if she was currently gazing up her most beloved star. She looked so proud of him, looking at him as if the words, 'my love, I'll always be here for you, so don't hold back and go wreak havoc! Show them who you are!'

Looking at her, Zaki felt a warm feeling giving him power. The smile on her face and the light in her eyes were enough for him. 

And thus, the mighty president spoke. After his speech, applause could be heard and everyone went and congratulated him. The powerful guests had set their eyes to him, as everyone tried to catch his attention.

Gladly, Sei was there to keep everyone's movements under control. After all, no one would dare act recklessly when the king was there, on watch. 

Time passed and the party was finally over, there were just too many of these powerful individuals that Zaki needed to meet one by one that he didn't get the chance to go anywhere near Hinari. As the guests were leaving, a dozen of the most thick-skinned stayed. 

They remained by Zaki's side until they finally got the chance to speak their intentions. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Mr. Zaki, I truly believe you're a man as amazing as Mr. Sei so I believe you also think that a man with your caliber should be paired with an outstanding partner."

"So I would like to arrange you for a date with my granddaughter. This might be abrupt but we are business men after all. This is how we deal with matters like this."

"That's true. I would be so pleased if you will agree to meet my daughter."

The talk had turned into some shameless requests that one of Zaki's veins had popped as he looked at the quiet Sei, simply sipping his wine. When Sei just raised a brow at him, and the words, 'I wonder how you'll deal with this,  my dearest younger brother' flashed across his eyes, Zaki finally broke up the annoying talk. 

"Please wait a moment." Zaki said and excused himself. He then quickly moved towards the group of ladies and when he spotted Hinari, he went straight towards her. He held Hinari's hand, causing Hinari and everyone to look at the beautiful man in surprise. 

"Mother, let me borrow her for a second." He said and Madam Chen immediately smiled. 

"Of course, of course, my son. Take your girl away." She said and Zaki nodded at them before walking away, holding the surprised Hinari's hand. 

Hinari wanted to ask but when she saw Zaki being all serious, she restrained herself and obediently followed him. He intertwined his fingers with her so tightly right now so how could she do anything but gracefully smile?

The moment they reached the group of the powerful men beside Sei, Zaki didn't waste any more time and he spoke. 

"I'm sorry for the wait. I would like to introduce someone to all of you. This is Hinari, my woman."
