Chapter 135: *Unedited*

President Lee’s Office

Dan-Han looked at the girl sitted before him with her overly baked up face under the pretence of make-up and her legs crossed. His eyes were cold and was impatiently telling her to state her reason for being in his office so early in the morning. He wondered what she was there for, she had made her point clear the last time they had a date and they had agreed on same thing, so why was she here now? He was going to talk to that secretary of his. Maybe slashing his salary would teach him a good lesson.

“I’m listening” He impatiently said. She should know she was interrupting his working time.

“President Lee, I haven’t heard from you for many days, so I thought about paying a visit”

“I’ve been busy” He said non-chalantly.

“Not too busy for me I hope, after all we’re supposed to be seeing each other” Mi-Ok said with a smile on her face, which Dan-Han found to be very annoying.

Dan-Han lolled back on his chair as he gave her a bland look.

.....

“Seeing each other?” He tilted his brows at her.

“Yes of course aren’t we?” She asked back. She continued without waiting for his response.

“Our parents want us to get married so we should keep seeing each other to get to know ourselves together. And as such we should be going on more dates” She told him.

“I’m not interested” Dan-Han blantantly told her. He wasn’t interested in going on another date with this prima Donna princess, he didn’t have the time to waste on her, neither did he find the need to explain things to her. He was sure it would be futile to even make such an attempt.

“What?” Mi-Ok asked in confusion. She wasn’t expecting something like that from him. What does he mean by he wasn’t interested.

“Ms Choi I’m sure you know the date was arranged by our parents, and that was the last. So if you don’t mind I’d like to return back to work” Dan-Han said dismissively. He didn’t see the reason to be polite with her. He has never been polite to anybody except Eun-sun.

Mi-Ok was dumbfounded by his blunt response. Was he asking her out?

“Are you asking me to leave?” She asked in utter disbelief.

“Isn’t that what I meant?” He asked back.

“Lee Dan-Han, you’re being rude” She flared up. “I....I decided to make a move even though you lack proper manners on how to be a gentleman and save us the stress of going back and forth, and you dare ask me to leave?” She couldn’t believe this. She was furious.

Dan-Han was angered by her outburst, but he didn’t reveal any emotions on his face. He simply looked at her with an inscrutable gaze. This was one why he has never bothered to entangle himself with beings like her, atleast until Eun-sun came along.

Dan-Han was about to say something when the intercom buzzed. He ignored the fuming girl and picked it up.

“Send her in” He said after listening to Chang-wok.

He dropped back the receiver and looked back at Mi-Ok. “Ms Choi, I’m about to have a meeting, please see yourself out” Yes he was being too cold and rude but everyone knew this was his personality. He had never been polite or nice to people except one, who was actually waiting outside his door right now.

Mi-Ok was thunderstruck. She didn’t expect such attitude from Dan-Han. It was common knowledge that he was a cold and dangerous who cared little for anybody apart from his friends and family, she had thought he would atleast show a bit of respect to her, but what she didn’t know was that, if you aren’t Park Eun-sun then you should go fuck yourself.

Dan-Han’s eyes turned towards the door the moment he heard the knock followed by the creaking sound of the door. And he felt a sudden leap in his heart when he saw her walk in.

“I’m sorry sir” Eun-sun immediately apologized when she saw he wasn’t alone in the office. She was about to walk away and shut the door when Dan-Han spoke up.

“Get in” He ordered. He knew she was about to run away.

“Sir?”

“Miss Choi was about leaving” He turned to glance at Mi-Ok who had deep crease lines running on her forehead. She was livid, he could tell but her anger would be no match for his if Eun-sun stepped out that door. This was the first time she was coming on her own accord, and he wanted to know what had brought her.

Mi-Ok stared at him angrily, he was humiliating her and no one had actually done that to her before. She desperately wanted to say something but she piped herself down for two reasons.

Firstly, her Father would kill her if she ruined all her chances of marrying into the Lee family. Secondly, because she liked him. He was the most godly man she has ever seen, so she’ll refrain herself for now and act like a good girl.

She forced a smile on her face and slowly stood up to her feet.

“I’ll let you go back to work, we’ll take about our date some other time” Mi-Ok said with her forceful smile as she stretched her hand for a hand shake. Dan-Han simply nodded his head. He had heard what she said, and he was convinced there won’t be a next time but didn’t want to refute her now. He wanted her gone as soon as possible.

He accepted her hand and muttered, “Mmm”

Mi-Ok didn’t bother waiting for Dan-Han to see to the door, because she knew he wouldn’t do it. She picked up her bag and stood up to her feet.

“I’ll see you around” She smiled at him before turning around to take her leave.

She paused on her track and the smile on her face froze when she saw the girl standing close to the door. She narrowed her eyes at Eun-sun, and looked at her with a contemplative look. She walked closer to her and was about to say something when Dan-Han spoke up.

“Eun-sun come here” He said in an authoritative tone. Eun-sun looked at the lady who was busy checking her out. The moment Eun-sun had seen her, she had recognized her. It was the unruly who had slapped her at the restaurant and got her fired. As a matter of fact she was the genesis of current problem and there was no she could forget such a face. From the way the girl was looking at her, she could tell she was yet to recognize her.

Eun-sun looked at her and walked past without acknowledging her. Her palm was already twitching and itching to do something crazy to this spoilt brat.

Mi-Ok’s furrowed at Eun-sun’s disrespectful attitude. She couldn’t believe she has just been ignored by a mere staff that worked there. She snorted and walked out of the office. She turned back to look at the door, she was sure she had seen that rude girl somewhere but she couldn’t place her mind to it. She hissed dismissively before walking away.

Meanwhile inside Dan-Han’s office, Eun-sun stood in front of the mahogany table staring at the man who was equally staring at her with an inscrutable gaze. He looked like he was angry at her.

“I brought you this” Eun-sun said as she placed the bag in her hand on the desk. Dan-Han looked at the bag and he could what was in it, but nevertheless he asked, “What is this?” his tone wasn’t friendly at all, but she remained unfazed, as a matter is fact she was getting used to it.

“You didn’t eat before leaving, so I brought you some food” She said as she began to take off the papers in front of his desk and started to unpack the food from the pack. She had felt bad that he had made breakfast and he had not been able to eat from it, and knowing him she was sure he hasn’t eaten breakfast, hence why she had brought him food.

Dan-Han suddenly held her hand and stopped her from continuing what she was doing. She lifted her head to look at his hand on hers and the at his face.

“Did you take your medicine?” Dan-Han asked, his eyes boring into hers.

“Yes” She nodded.

“And how do you feel?” He asked another question. Eun-sun was slow to respond this time around. She looked at the man more intently. There was this look in his eyes, like that of care and concern. Something she hasn’t seen in a long time. It reminded her of grandma Mae.

Instead of answering Eun-sun asked, “Why do you care about me?” She didn’t know why was asking but she felt the need to ask. Though he was a difficult to understand, it wasn’t that difficult to see all the intentions he has for her. Though he always showed it in a wrong type of way, she could still see it.

Dan-Han looked at her with a stoicly, “Don’t you why already?” He asked her in a calm voice, while Eun-sun shook her head.

“Because I like you” He told her even though he knew he has told her already. Eun-sun knew this but what she didn’t know was why, and so she asked,

“Why?”
