The moment Dan-Han stepped into his car, he bellowed out a snort of laughter, completely startling his driver who looked at him through the rear view mirror. Did his boss just laugh or was he imagining things? This man could laugh?

Dan-Han's eyes met with that of his drivers through the mirror, and the man nearly jumped out of his skin, when he saw saw Dan-Han's cold eyes.

​​

"I'm sorry sir" He hurriedly apologized.

"Drive" Dan-Han ordered.

"Yes sir" He said, as he quickly turned on the ignition.

Dan-Han turned to looked back at the house one more time as they drove off. He had a feeling that she had a sharp tongue but he didn't know it was to this extent. The girl was fearless and tenancious, unlike the other girls he has seen before. And there was something about her when he stood so close to her. It was a feeling that he hasn't experienced in the last three years, but in that slight moment he had felt that.

Dan-Han didn't know why he had tried to scare her with that amount. He knew she couldn't afford that hillarious amount given that she was working as his housekeeper, but he felt that was the right thing to do to teach her a lesson.

How could she act in such a manner? Scolding him not just one but twice? Though he wasn't irritated or angered by her, he just felt like messing with her. And he was going to do just that.

But the was, he didn't even know why he was acting this way towards her. Knowing fully well how he loathed the female gender and every female species - except his mother of course, but he was still very much angry with her. His dislike for women started after that incident three years ago, and since then till date, today was the first day he was two feets away from a woman.

The smell of Eun-Sun's shampoo or whatever she used on her hair still lingered in his nose. This feeling he had a moment ago, was it the miracle he had been looking for all this years. Dan-Han looked outside the window with a bored look.

An hissed escaped his mouth when his phone started ringing.

"What now?" Dan-Han asked In-Ha the moment he picked up the phone. He was sure In-Ha wasn't true with the errand he asked him to run. As a matter of fact he was sure that he was yet to arrive the airport to pick up the clients he had asked him to speak. Dan-Han had was to hold a business meeting with some international investors who were arriving the country. But because he was waiting for his housekeeper/little debtor he had asked In-Ha to help him with that.

"Are you still home?" In-Ha asked a question of his own.

"Why?" Dan-Han inquired.

"Dan-Han hope you're not taunting my baby?"

'Baby?' Dan-Han cocked his brow.

"What baby?" He asked curtly.

"My little puddling in the house. Please president Lee, don't scare my baby okay. Don't make her run away, I don't have her number yet" In-Ha pleaded over the phone. A cold frown appeared on his face when he heard him.

"In-Ha I'm warning, you better keep away from her" Dan-Han warned in a dead pan tone.

"Why?" In-Ha stubbornly asked.

"Because you're dangerous to her, so keep away"

"I'm dangerous and you're not?" In-Ha asked back.

"If you love yourself then keep away from my housekeeper" He said sternly before ending the call.

'Baby? Pudding? Take her number?' Dan-Han was currently getting a head rush. The thought of In-Ha having her as one of his conquest was currently riling him up.

It seems he has to do something about this. If not for anything, he has to save her from that man-whore.

But how was he going he going to do that?

........

"What?! How are you supposed to pay that?" Hei-Ran asked in horror. On hearing that hillarous amount, she almost fell off her seat. "Two hundred thousand?" Hei-Ran screamed over the phone.

"Yes Hei-Ran. How am I supposed to pay that amount of debt now? I don't have a proper job yet. I can't believe he's asking for such an amount" She said panickly as she kept pacing the room.

If only she had been more careful while walking, she wouldn't have been in that accident, and she wouldn't be in this type of situation. This was the first time in forever that she was feeling so unsettled. She has always had this aloof nature towards things around her, but there was something about this man that made her unsettled. She couldn't even remember his name. His presence made her uneasy and the aura around him tells her, he was a dangerous man. He wasn't someone to be trifled with. His capable of bringing chaos into her life if she doesn't pay up.

But $200,000!!! What kind of bill was that. Even a full organ transplant or a head transplant wouldn't be that expensive - only if it was possible of course.

"You can't pay that debt. What is he a modern day fraud?" Hei-Ran hissed. She was feeling livid about this.

"I need a job" Eun-Sun declared.

"Yes you need a proper job, and I can help you with some money too, but even with that you still can't settle that bill. Do you know long you'd work to pay such a debt? And don't forget that silly interest rate he mentioned" Hei-Ran was even more convinced that that guy was a thief.

"Damn it" Eun-Sun cussed. She didn't like this at all. She was caught up between taking Dan-Han's words seriously or not. But from the way he sooke, it didn't look like he was joking.

"I have an idea" Hei-Ran suddenly said. "But you can't get mad at me" Hei-Ran told her.

"What is it? If it's a stupid thing you better not say it" Eun-Sun warned. She had a feeling whatever Hei-Ran was about say, would make her want to kill her.

"Promise to consider it?"

"Only if it's good. But I hope it's good, Hei-Ran I'm warning you, I'm really not in the mood for your nonsense, so be serious" She said suspiciously when she heard Hei-Ran chuckle.

"First I think you should ask your boss about him and then get his contact, and..." She paused to pique Eun-Sun's interest.

"And what" Eun-Sun snapped, curiously urging Hei-Ran to continue.

"Then you can tell him, you want to offer yourself as...payment" Hei

"Hei-Ran do you want to die? You're lucky you're not here, I would have given you the beating of your life" Eun-Sun yelled.

"I should offer myself as payment? As what? A girlfriend? Wife? Or mistress. Maybe you should do that for my sake" For a moment there she had thought she had something sensible to say, but how could she forget about Hei-Ran's playful nature.

"You don't have to be so riled up. It was just an advice" Hei-Ran chuckled.

"Keep your advice to yourself. I don't need it."

"But actually that wasn't what I wanted to say" Hei-Ran tried to stifle a chuckle. She was sure Eun-Sun's face was red in anger right now.

"What else do you have to say?" She asked angrily. "Hei-Ran just get lost!" She hissed before dropping the call. She couldn't believe Hei-Ran had the heart to make carricature of her situation right now.

'Use herself for payment indeed'

**********

Mi-Ok stormed into Father Choi's private study and took her seat across the office desk. She has been looking for an opportunity to talk to him since her date with Dan-Han, but he has been unavailable.

"I heard you went on a date with President Lee, so how did it go?" Father choi asked the moment she plopped herself down on the seat, this was the sole reason he had summoned her into his office.

"Father that's what I want to talk to you about" Mi-Ok replied which made Father Choi raise his brow.

"Hope you didn't go and ruin your chances of marrying into that family?" He asked scowling at her.

"No! On the contrary, it's president Lee who is trying to ruin my chances"

"How do you mean?"

"He said he isn't interested in me and he would call you and the chairman. But father I'm very much interested." She said with seriousness.

"You are? I thought you said he was conceited and foolish?" Father Choi asked with a mock smile as he looked at his daughter. He was sure those were her exact words.

"Well I'm interested now, so you must protect my interest as I will protect yours. We must do all it takes to get me into that family and make him mine" She replied fiercely. Chairman Choi looked into her eyes and he could see that she was indeed serious. But he wondered what has caused that change.

Has she finally become greedy or did she go fall for Dan-Han's stupid looks. He signed inwardly.

"Did you say he wants to speak to me and his father?" Father Choi asked again.

"Yes, but we can't let him convince his father. You have to speak with him first" She suggested.

"No we can't, I think I've to talk to that sly old man right away" He agreed as he nodded his head.

"Please do. I'll be leaving this matter in your hands" She said as she got up to leave.

"Mi-Ok" He called stopping her tracks, "Don't do anything stupid that may ruin your chances" He warned, making her frown before nodding her head. She knew what he was referring to. She always had a way of appearing in the tabloids, or rather the tabliods has a way of making her a hot topic. If that should happen again, Father Lee may see her in a different light and maybe change his mind.
