Second Time With My Lovely Stranger
EP 1- PROLOGUE
- THIS IS MY NEW STORY, A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM MY PAST STORIES. -
-WARNING ⚠️: THE STORY MAY COME UP AS STRONG TO SOME PEOPLE. PLEASE, SUPPORT IT TILL THE END! -
- The world is divided into two kinds of people, Strong and Weak. You either have the power to defend yourself or else you gonna end up losing everything. I knew it better than anyone, yet I forgot it, again and again.-
Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)
The board has decided CEO Daphne Hyun is no longer suitable to lead the Crystal Hotels.
Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)
CEO Daphne Hyun, is no longer part of this Board and Crystal Hotels. *Coldly*
Phoebe Hyun (FL'S STEP MOM/AUNT)
And the new Executive Rights are given to Charles Hyun.
- Right before my eyes, I saw my hard work, position, and authority getting handed over to my younger half-brother. I watched my father sitting silently at the Chairman's position as though it was his silent declaration of disowning me as his daughter. -
- What was everything for? For whom did I sacrifice my everything? For whom did I work like a dog? As though the only meaning of my life is taken away, I found myself lost at the pit of darkness.-
- Getting onto a random train, with no destination in mind, I started planning to die somewhere none can find me, but that one train journey changed my entire life.,
Theo/■■■ (ML)
Even if you are planning to die, shouldn't you try everything you never tried before?
- A stranger, I met in my aimless journey. He smiled like there was no worry in the world, he laughed with others as if life was too great to dwell over misery. How much I wished I was like him too! All bright and happy, caring about nothing in the world. And maybe because he was too laid back about everything he agreed with my sudden proposal.-
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Take me with you
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
To the world you live in.
Theo/■■■ (ML)
You don't want for somethings serious, do you?
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
*Shakes her head*
Theo/■■■ (ML)
Don't fall in love with me
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
I won't
Theo/■■■ (ML)
Don't get attached to me
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
I won't
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
When the journey come to an end, I'll let you go as if we never met.
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
so, take me with you.
Theo/■■■ (ML)
Be ready to have the most thrilling 20 days of your life,
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Winter
- A pseudonym name, both his and mine. I dared to do something reckless and those 20 days gave me so much that I won't even get in my 22 years of life. I laughed, I cried, I did everything I won't have ever done and finally it was time to say goodbye.-
Theo/■■■ (ML)
*Gets on the train*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Theo *Holding his hand*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Thank you for these 20 days. *Smiles*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
*let go off his hand* And as I promised.... Goodbye
- He said nothing and saw the train leaving. I cried but I couldn't dare to hold on. I thought this was the last time I saw him but who knew... My second meeting with him will turn everything to ashes, Once Again.-
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Why? Why did you do this to me! *Trembling in anger*
Theo/■■■ (ML)
*Chuckles darkly* Didn't you beg for it, huh? Just like how you treat everyone like chespiece, I played with you
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
Did it meant nothing to you? *Tears rolling down*
Theo/■■■ (ML)
*Looking down at her*
Theo/■■■ (ML)
You aren't even worth of it.
- Love and hate, the man who gathered my shattered pieces, broke me once again. Memories I loved, made my living hell.-
- Ruthless, cruel and manipulative yet passionate and dreamy, My Lovely Stranger. If I am going to hell, I am taking you with you. -
-SECOND TIME WITH MY LOVELY STRANGER-
EP 2
- As one of the leading hotel chains in the world, Crystal Hotel has topped up as the travelers' first choice and the most luxurious hotel over the past 4 years. Though in the current timeline, Crystal Hotel is leading the hospitality industry, just 5 years ago, it was on the verge of bankruptcy.-
- The person who held onto the failing reins of the Crystal Hotel, pulled it out of debt and made it to the top is none other than the current CEO, Daphne Hyun. She just turned 18 when she first got into the business but by the time I turned 23, I was named among Forbes Under 30 CEOs.-

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
I wonder, I am yet to come across a good one
- This is my daily life. From morning to evening, taking care of the hotel is everything I do and care for. Working hard never felt burdensome to me as it has always been an escape from reality. Moreover, nothing feels better when This hotel tops up the charts across the globe.-
Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)
Executive Director, DID you have you breakfast? *Suddenly*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
*Nervous smile*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

You work for me or him? *Rolls her eyes*
Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)
Does that even matter?
Elijah Lerk (FL'S ASSISTANT)
Chairman Ressnas isn't someone you can just ignore, can you?
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
( That's right.)
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
( IF the West has those Harper, East has Ressnas.)
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
( But it's not like I'm gonna agree with the marriage proposal or anything. He must be eyeing on me seeing how I managed to pull up Crystal Hotels from the bottom to the top. Once my use is over just like that time, they will throw me away.)
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
*Clenches her fist*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
( And I can never let myself go through that again.)

Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
I thank you for your appreciation, but Crystal Hotels has yet to go a long way to clash with Utopia Hotels *Tilts her head*
Robert Ressas ( CHAIRMAN OF RENSES GROUP
Maybe 5 more years at best
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)

Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)
*Shocked hearing Robert*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
*Stunned*
Daphne Hyun/Winter(FL)
You mean you want to do business with us?

Robert Ressas ( CHAIRMAN OF RENSES GROUP
*Chuckles*
Robert Ressas ( CHAIRMAN OF RENSES GROUP
( Her thoughts are so obvious which makes her look cuter.)
Robert Ressas ( CHAIRMAN OF RENSES GROUP
( WHY did I have to have 3 idiotic sons who are always after my wife's attention?)
Ruan Hyun (FL'S STEP DAD/UNCLE)
Shall we eat? *Forced smile*
- Rest of the dinner went better than I predicted. Unlike rumor suggested Mr. Robert is rather a laid back and easy going person who can easily make you smile. From time to time I glanced at father but he didn't look happy. Why? Maybe he has his own worries.-
- I spent my nights excited about the potential future where I can finally make Crystal Hotels the best in the world without having any idea that my dream will come down crashing the very next day.-
