Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 29: His little debtor

Today was Eun-sun’s second day at work and she was feeling less nervous than she did yesterday. She had told herself that the only way to survive in her place of work was to be invisible. But if that stupid boss of hers tries to do anything funny with her, she’ll just have to teach him a lesson or two before tendering her resignation letter. The last thing she’d do was to let anyone take advantage of her because of a measly job.

Eun-sun cleared off at the security check point. An ID has been given to her to grant her access into the residence, but those security people had still gone as far as checking her bags for whatever purpose. She wore back her face cap as she angrily stormed her way into the residence.

‘Couldn’t they have recognized her face from yesterday?’ Eun-sun grumbled in her mind as she made her way to her place of posting. Her mind was dazzled by the majestic buildings in the residence. The architectural work marvelled her and the more she looked at it, the more she felt convinced the residence was owned by no other than PK corps. They were the only company who would go all out to invest into building a state of the art residence such as this.

Eun-sun quickly grabbed her phone to Google it out, and in her process of doing that, she trailed off the sidewalk again and walked on the road.

She jerked when she heard a car honk at her, making her phone fall of her hands. Her heart started racing as she realised what had almost happened..and again it was her fault.

Eun-sun picked up her phone and waved her hand to apologize to the driver, with a slight bow. She couldn’t see through the car because it’s glasses were tinted, but she was sure whoever was inside could see her. She kept waving for a few more seconds, when she suddenly took to her heels. She didn’t know why, but there was something spooky about the car. Although she has apologised the car remained still, and that’s why she ran. She didn’t want to get into trouble, especially with someone who could afford to live in such a residence. That would be asking for her own death.

Dan-Han who was sitting at the back seat of his car, was closely observing the petite lady outside the car. His chaffeur was about to drive off after evading that accident.

.....

His eyes were glued to the lady as she picked up her phone and bowed slightly to apologize, with her hands waving at them. This looked like his little debtor. Dan-Han said to himself. He was certain about it because she had a face cap on which was hiding a good portion of her face.

He finally confirmed his thought when she took to her heels. It was indeed her. Dan-Han was about to step out of his car when his phone started ringing again. He sighed out in frustration when he realised it was his secretary calling again. He turned to look at the fleeing silhouette one last time before answering the call with annoyance.

“You better have a dire reason for calling” Dan-Han’s voice came out filled with icicles.

“Drive” He ordered the chaffeur.

Eun-sun took a deep breath as she watched for the car drive off from where she has hidden herself.

“Rich people” She muttered distastefully, before continuing on her path.

Few minutes later In-Ha hurried to the door when the door bell rang.

“She’s here” He said excitedly before opening the door.

“Good morning sir” Eun-Sun greeted with a bow. Seeing that smile on his face, she was beginning to feel the urge to slap him, till he was diagnosed of facial paralysis. His smile was annoying. His smile was a constant irk to her.

“Good morning beautiful” He replied with a smile. Eun-Sun glared at him surreptitiously.

“Come in already” He said as he fully opened the door, allowing her to walk in.

“I’ll get to work immediately” Eun-Sun said as she made her way into the house. The goal was to be invisible, and that was exactly what she would do.

“Hold on, you don’t have to be in such a hurry to work” In-Ha held her by the arm.

“Huh?” that was an akward statement right? But what she didn’t understand was his reason for holding her. Eun-Sun glared at his hand, before pulling her arm away from his grip.

In-Ha saw her glare and he realized what he had done. He had done that on impulse and he apologized immediately. “I’m Sorry. What I meant was, you shouldn’t start working immediately. You just got here, and it must have been a long walk from the entrance” He said walking closer as he observed some beads of sweat on her forehead.

Eun-Sun instinctively took a step back, if he was going to try something funny, then he should be prepared to have his arm broken. But to her surprise In-Ha walked past her and hurried up to the kitchen, but not before saying, “wait here”

Eun-Sun looked at his disappearing silhouette.

‘This guy sure is crazy’ Eun-Sun concluded in her mind. Eun-Sun was surprised to see her boss returning with a bottle of water.

“Here drink, it’s cold” In-Ha said as he stretched out the glass of water to her, Eun-Sun was stunned.

This was unexpected. She kept staring at him expressionlessly without reaching for the bottle. This wasn’t normal at all, none of her bosses had acted this way before.

What was wrong with this one?
