Pay With Your Heart

Surprisingly Eun-Sun had a lighter day at work. She had less files on her desk and less errands to run. She had heard the news of her boss, director Gi-Hye being sent to the Human resources department, and the reason behind it was unknown to anyone except the person involved. Eun-Sun noticed an awkward and cold gaze director Gi-Hye had shot her before storming out of the office with her box. She simply shrugged it as director Gi-Hye simply having a bad day. She must have upset the higher ups. Eun-Sun made a mental note to thread caution least she gets a similar fate like or boss or rather get fired.

Although Eun-Sun had less work now, she decided not to go for lunch so as to complete the remaining task she had at hand. This job had taken her four years to acquire so she didn't want to mess things up. She wanted to put her best in it.

"Hey Eun-Sun, aren't you coming for lunch? Come on let's go" Her colleague, Hye-Jin beckoned on her. They shared same work desk, and Hye-Jin has been nice to her.

Eun-Sun raised her head up to look at the girl and replied, "I'll join you guys later. I just want to finish this up"

"Are you sure? If you stay too long you'll miss out on the best stuff on today's menu" Hye-Jin informed her.

"I won't. I promise to catch up" Eun-Sun assured her. Though Eun-Sun wasn't used to relating to others at work, but she was quite familiar with Hye-Jin. It was kind of foreign as well as exciting having someone look out for her. Eun-Sun thought it felt nice.

"Okay"

Eun-Sun's eyes followed the girl out till she walked out of the door, before returning her attention back to her work.

Eun-Sun kept working till she forgot she was supposed to have lunch, or make that brunch. Because of the large number of work and research she had to do, she had skipped her breakfast.

Due to less work, she had enough time to make some studies and do some research regarding her work and the company. She wanted to keep herself updated with what was going on in the company, most especially her department.

"Why didn't the new girl come for lunch?" One of the Eun-Sun's colleagues at the department asked Hye-Jin on their way back from the cafeteria. She was the one that was particularly close to Eun-Sun.

"I asked her to come, but she said she had some work to finish up" Hye-Jin shrugged.

"She works too much. I thought she was being punished before, but now it seems she's trying to kill herself with work" The first girl said again.

"Or make us look us bad. I know her type, they work so hard so they can gain recognition" Another girl replied scornfully.

"That's not true, she doesn't seem that way to me. You're just being mean" Hye-Jin retorted.

As they stepped into the elevator, someone stepped out on the hallway with some men trailing behind him, all dressed in suits. From his demeanour, one could tell he was a formidable leader.

He took a look at his wrist watch and a frown appeared on his face.

"Chang-Wok" He signalled his secretary over.

"Get her take some take outs" His voice was indifferent as always.

"Sir?" Secretary was yet again stunned by his boss request.

'Why is this devil acting out of character lately?' He asked himself.

Dan-Han paused on his strides and turn to glare at his secretary who was suddenly acting dumb.

"I'm sorry sir. I'll get to it right away" He knew that look, and he knew it was better not to provoke the demon king.

"And If she refuse, tell her not to make my mood bad"

Eun-Sun rejecting the food was a possibility. That girl has so much pride, he wondered where she got it from and if her petite frame was enough to accommodate it. He knew with her, only threats can work.

...Eun-Sun's office...

Secretary Chang-Wok didn't know when his job description involved buying and delivering food to staffs. Though he would love to complain but he couldn't dare.

Maybe his boss has taken a liking to the new staff. The thought of that sent shivers down his spine, Dan-Han was a man incapable of loving anybody. He isn't even nice to his own mother, so what was he thinking.

Secretary Chang-Wok sauntered into the office with a pack of food. He had heads staring at him, mostly female staffs, who were drooling over the handsome secretary of the president.

Secretary Chang-Wok felt embarrassed with the stares and greeting he was receiving. He had an enviable position in the company. He was the man who worked with the big boss, so he was respected at the company.

"Good afternoon miss Eun-Sun" He curtly greeted. Eun-Sun immediately sprang up to her feet and greeted him too.

"Here, the president said I should give it to you" His voice was low so only her could hear.

Eun-Sun lowered her eyes to look at the bag in his hand. It was obviously food, looking at the logo of the restaurant on the bag.

"Why?" She asked without reaching for the bag.

"Because he wants you to have it" Chang-Wok was getting annoyed. Wasn't she supposed to be happy that the president was paying her some attention?

"I won't take it" She declared.

"He thought you'll say that, so he asked me to tell you that you shouldn't put him in a bad mood"

Eun-Sun stared at him intently. Was that wicked man going to always threaten her with the money she owed him. Even the loan sharks from the gambling house hasn't even threatened her this way.

"Then tell him I don't care about his mood" She retorted and plonked down on her seat. She has had enough of his threats.

Secretary Chang-Wok narrowed his eyes , intently staring at her. He had questions in his mind, but he knew better not to ask.

He dropped the food on her desk his eyes still staring at her, "Miss Eun-Sun then you should tell him that yourself. And know I put some effort into getting that"
