Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 106: Caught

Eun-sun sat down on her desk, her eyes fixed on the data displaying on her screen but it was obvious that her attention wasn’t focused on it. Her mind had wandered else where, for example to the conversation she just had with Mrs Lee over the phone.

Reminding her to check up on her grown ass son if he has eaten. She liked Mrs Lee, but not her son, who was a sick demon. Why was she been asked to take of Dan-Han like she was his sister or nanny. As much as she’d like to do this for Mrs Lee, she still didn’t know how to go about it. Just yesterday Dan-Han had told her he liked her and she was yet to get past that.

And not just that, she still had to go for dinner at his house, and he’d be the one to take her. What was happening to her life recently? And the most importantly why was Dan-Han’s confession still on her mind.

She really tried to think of a solution. She badly wanted to avoid Dan-Han. She didn’t want to see his face at all. Only the thought of his name was making her body react in a weird way. That guy must have used those words he said to cast a spell on her. She has lost her some peace of mind since he said those words to her. She has heard it a few times from guys like Ji-Sang, but she had easily brushed it off, but now, she couldn’t do same. It was as if his words were on a in her mind.

She bit her lips when an idea came into her mind. She picked up the lunch pack she had prepared for him, and headed for his office. All she had to do was deliver the food to Dan-Han right? Then she’d do just that, there wasn’t any mandatory rule that said she had to do it by herself.

She took the elevator to the president’s office. She cautiously walked towards secretary Chang-wok’s desk.

“Good morning sir” she greeted politely. Her voice was low and almost in a whisper, as she kept looking towards the door just in case the devil decides to walk of his office or hear her voice. Chang-wok narrowed his eyes at her when he observed how strange she was behaving.

.....

“Morning” He replied back, not knowing if he should join her in the whispering thingy which she was doing.

“I came to drop this off” She said placing the box on his desk. Chang-wok looked at the box and he remembered all that happened yesterday at country A, and also the fact that this petite woman had rejected his boss.

Secretary Chang-wok continued to look at the box and her thoughtfully.

‘Why was she giving it him?’ She should go give it to him by herself. Knowing what how his boss liked her, and how he had shamelessly told her that he would be skipping meals just to have her meals, he’d be stupid to deliver this to the boss himself.

He’d only do that if he was tired of leaving. That Dan-Han hasn’t been on a rampage for a while now does not mean that the beast in him was asleep. On this issue he’d thread in caution.

He looked at Eun-sun with a stoic look on his face and “Miss Eun-sun as much as I’d like to help you, I’m currently busy. But you can drop it in the president’s office, he’d find it when he’s back”

Eun-sun snapped her head towards Dan-Han’s door.

“Does that mean he’s not around?” She asked suspiciously.

“Yes, he’s having a private meeting” Chang-wok said when he noticed the distrusting look Eun-sun was shooting at him. It was to everyone’s knowledge that Chang-wok was always with the president at every meeting.

Eun-sun looked back at the door again. Her heart suddenly started to beat when she thought about going into that room. She didn’t want to.

Eun-sun thought about her promise to Mrs Lee and she cringed inwardly. she didn’t have the heart to turn that woman down or disappoint her. Mrs Lee has been nice to her and above all she was a dying woman who needs to have her heart at rest, not bothering about anything, so she could enjoy her remaining days in peace and happiness. She’d do this for Mrs Lee.

She calmed herself, squared her shoulders and picked up the lunch pack which she had made. She still knocked on the door just to be sure that what Chang-wok had said was the truth. She felt relieved when she didn’t hear anything from inside the office. She opened the door and peeked her head. She heaved a sigh when she saw that his seat was empty.

Opening the fully, she walked into the office. She walked towards his desk and dropped the pack on it. She turned to look around the office, and her eyes took in the modern beauty that the office had. Just as she was about to take a step forward, her eyes caught the view outside the window. She had wanted to have a clear view of it the other day, before In-Ha made a disturbing entrance.

Eun-sun was torn between moving closer to the window and walking away from the office. But her curiosity got the best of her. Her legs subconsciously moved towards the floor to roof glass window. She was amazed by how far Dan-Han’s office was from the ground. Pk Corps building was the tallest building in the city, it gave a clear view of everything. It seemed like the everything down there were very small.

She wondered just how beautiful the night view would be. Realizing how amazing the architectural work of the building is, she couldn’t help but wonder if Dan-Han was the brain behind it.

The moment his name came into bhwr mind she finally snapped back to reality. She was still in his office, how could she be so foolish?

Eun-sun received the biggest shock of her life when she turned around and she bumped into hard body, one which wasn’t there a while ago.

Her body jolted backward making her to miss a step but Dan-Han was quick enough to hold her steady with his hand which Suddenly appeared around her waist.

“Are you getting clumsy?” He asked in his strong tone which kind of warmed her ears. Her heart was suddenly racing fast. Her eyes was fully widened and she was staring at him unblinkingly.

When did he even appear there? Why didn’t she hear the door or his foot steps. She tried to turn away and that was when she realized Dan-Han still had his hand around her. Eun-sun felt like running away, disappearing, anything other than standing there in her bosses arm, totally embarrassed. He had caught her in his office and she didn’t know how to get out of this embarrassing situation. But the main issue was, why wasn’t he letting her go, and why was he looking at her like that. Like he was just seeing her for the first time?

Eun-sun tried to not look at his face, as she tried to wriggle away from his hand but Dan-Han’s hold over tightened a little.

“Don’t think you can run away like you did yesterday” He said in a low tone. Eun-sun stiffened at the word yesterday. It brought the memories of what had happened at country flashing through her brain. This was going to be the death of her. Lee Dan-Han was going to be the death of her and the rest of her generation left.

This close proximity was making her heart go wild, beating like a drumming box. She was sure Dan-Han could hear it, but he was ignoring it just to make her miserable.

“Pres-”

“Do you want to continue your view?” He interjected her, his brow cocked at her.

What was he even saying? If she wanted to continue the view? Was she mad? Only a mad person would want to continue doing that after being caught, and being held against their will.

Eun-sun shook her head responsively, making Dan-Han sigh reflatedly.

“What a shame I’d love to have you here, I really don’t mind”

“President Lee” She managed to call out, she didn’t like the fact that he was holding her like that and wasn’t ready to let go.

“Do you really not like me or you’re pretending not to like me” Dan-Han asked ignoring the threatening glare now forming in her eyes. he tsked in his head. It seems like she couldn’t be scared for too long. What a girl.

Eun-sun’s heart almost fell into her stomach when she heard him. Her heart rate was now increasing drastically. Why was he saying this again? Couldn’t he just leave her be.

Dan-Han sighed when he saw the struggle in her eyes.

He lowered his head towards her so much that they were only a breath way, making her hitch.

He brushed his free hand through her hair and said, “You don’t need to answer that now. Even if you don’t, I’m going to make sure you will”
