Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 468: A Tight Spot.

Ji-Tae wasn’t sure if he could be more hateful of Dan-Han than he already was. Whenever he thought about him, anger and pure hatred for him and everything pertaining to him was all he felt.

“I hate his guts!” He viciously declared as he chugged a glass of brandy down his throat.

The burning sensation of the alcohol against the wall of his throat as it coursed down didn’t quench the frustration he was feeling. He poured himself another glass and gulped it down before lighting up a cigarette.

His fingers roughly worked on his tie as he yanked it. Everything on him was suffocating and he wanted nothing but to rip them off, same way he was going to rip Dan-Han into pieces.

He still couldn’t believe Dan-Han could put him in a tight spot. He had found out his plan and had turned it against him.

Ji-Tae had envisioned Dan-Han being dragged for a crimes he wouldn’t have been able to save himself from. He had imagined him being bombarded with catastrophic problems both with the authorities, government and shareholders for embezzlement, and use of substandard materials for his project.

He had visualised his name making headlines and his face on every news station, but having those materials back in his possession wasn’t part of the plan at all. But despite all this, what really angered him was Dan-Han intrusion into his own affairs.

.....

How he dare take his child?! What right did he have?!

“That bastard!” He growled under his breath.

The man who had walked into the room stopped on his heels and silently peered as he knew Ji-Tae was at the verge of throwing his tantrums again.

Since his visit to the docks, Ji-Tae had been in a foul mood, and with passing day he seemed worse, same as the sudden nose bleed he has been having for the past three days.

He turned to the girl who had followed with a tray of food.

“Drop it on the table and leave.” He ordered and the girl did just as she was told. He pulled some tissue and passed it to Ji-Tae.

“Boss Ji-Tae, your nose is bleeding again.” He said, drawing Ji-Tae’s attention to it and he frowned.

Ji-Tae cursed when he realized he was having another nose bleed for the tenth time in the last three days.

He reached for the tissues and angrily pressed it against his nose and tipped his head back. It was becoming annoying and embarrassing.

The man looked at Ji-Tae with concern as the bleeding persisted. “Boss, no disrespect, but I think maybe you should cut down on the smoking, and also see a doctor. A nose bleed can be dangerous.” He told him.

He didn’t flinch when Ji-Tae raised his head to him and stared at him with cold eyes. “Jota, are you saying, I’m now weak?” Ji-Tae asked, his eyes narrowing into slits.

“Not at all. I’m only saying-”

“You’re talking too much.” Ji-Tae drawled. He tossed the tissue to the ground before taking a drag of the ciagrette which was almost burnt out. He didn’t know what had suddenly started his nose bleed, but he didn’t think it was serious, as it sometimes happened to people unexpectedly.

Ji-Tae hissed as he sat on the chair, his elbows resting on his knees. “When are we receiving a new shipment?” He inquired.

“We’re yet to find a new shipping company that we can use to carry that large amount of goods. The Su company has been carrying 50 per cent of our shipment. So if we -”

“That’s enough.” He curtly cut in. He understood what he was about to say, and it annoyed him. His hand roughly pushed through his hair and slightly mussed it up.

“This is all his fault.” He seethed, and even without calling out a name, it was obvious he was referring to Dan-Han.

First, Dan-Han had held that meeting to corner him by placing a condition for him being qualified as a candidate for the company’s presidency. If he wanted to be the president of PK corps then he had to complete this project.

And if he should fail, he wouldn’t be getting the support of any member of the board.

But he believed the real reason behind Dan-Han doing that was to make anyone who’d still consider supporting him look like a fool. After all, only a fool would support someone who was clearly incompetent.

And not to mention there was no way the project would be completed before the date of the general meeting except Dan-Han was going to move a motion to postpone it, with excuses of the project not being completed to determine his capability, there by giving him enough time to set up a plan.

Dan-Han had it all figured out before calling for that meeting. And also he already had his plans to sabotage him just the same way he had wanted to do to Dan-Han’s own project.

‘It was a boomerang.’ He mirthlessly chuckled.

But there was something that Dan-Han did not know was, and that was, he was never going to fail.

He was never one to give up, and sabotaging Dan-Han’s project hasn’t always been the plan.

He has something better in store for him, but first, he has to succeed with this project, and thereafter he was going to take Dan-Han’s seat of power from him, before kicking him into a hole he’d never crawl out from.

But to do that, he needed money, and he needed it with urgency. He would not be able to complete the project, but his progress would convince the board.

Ji-Tae had splurged a huge amount on the substandard materials he had purchased because he had been certain he wasn’t going to fail. And currently, he had just purchased new goods for his business, but even that has met up with a challenge of shipping them to country C to his supply chain.

A-Yeong had always taken care of that part for him, but Dan-Han had also ruined that for him.

He tightly clenched his hand into a tight ball.

“I’m going to make him pay.” He swore under his breath.

He whipped out his phone and dialled a number. To get the money he needed, there was only one person who could give it to him.

“You have guts to dare call me after your failure.” A low drawl came through the phone as soon as the call connected.
