Pay With Your Heart

The Su's Family House

Still inside the car Hei-Ran and her boss were both staring at the door of her house. Hei-Ran could hear her beat loudly in her ears. She still didn't think this was a good idea.

How was she going to stay comfortable lying to her mother? And what happens when the truth comes out? How was she going to look at her boss if he does something like this for her? Or how was she going to look at her mother and explain to her when the truth comes to light?

The warning alarm ringing in Hei-Ran's head at the moment where too loud to be ignored.

"Mr Song—" She paused when he glared at her. Were they still on the name issue? She really had to address him by his name now? This was indeed a very horrible idea.

"I'm sorry I can't and I don't want to" She didn't want to call him by his first name and she didn't want to carry on with the plan.

Calling him by his name would make their relationship seem too casual, and she didn't want that. Be casual with this maniac/psycopath? Hell no! That was never going to happen. It would be the death of her. They weren't that close and he was already frustrating her, what was going go happen when a layer of their professional relationship breaks down a bit, it would make things worse. She might as well move her bed to his office, and even on her wedding day — that's only if she's opportuned to find a husband— her boss might still call her to attend a meeting with him. They might as well use the venue of the meeting for her reception.

"Why?" He curiously asked.

" Because I don't want to be too casual and familiar with you" She replied.

Mr Song kept quiet for a while as he closely studied her expression at the moment. Why wouldn't she want to be familiar with him? Wait! He thought they were already familiar with each other? After spending time together all these years she still wasn't familiar with him?

"Is there something wrong with that?" He asked again.

'Was he seriously asking her that right now? Of course everything was wrong with been casual with him. That would be an open ticket for him to use her more than he already was. So yes it was a big problem'

"I don't t—"

"Just do it. Your mom would be suspicious if you keep being formal with me. Do you want her to know that you're lying to her?" He said, making sure to use the word 'you' instead if 'we'.

He knew she was still skeptical about going on with this plan so he had to do something about it.

"Exactly! I don't want to lie to my mother. Alright fine I admit for a tiny weeny moment I thought about this plan, but I wasn't going to push through with it. Just how do I lie to my mother's face?" She freaked out. Beads of sweat were breaking out on her face.

Mr Song looked at her intently as she kept rambling out due to fear.

"But you've already started with the lies" He told her.

"Me?" Hei-Ran asked in shock and surprise. "How is this my fault?" She asked in shock with her eyes widely opened.

"Who was it that picked up the phone and told my mother all those stuffs? Huh? Boss you did that, don't put it on me" She snapped. Why was this psycopath suddenly messing up her life? Was his life that boring that he was in need of someone's life to ruin? And she just happened to be available.

"So are you saying it was wrong of me to help you?" He asked her, feigning a frown. Hei-Ran panicked when she saw the angry look he was shooting at her.

God, she didn't want to add an angry and highly vengeful boss on her list of worries right now. Why was her life slowly turning into that of one of the soap operas which she usually watched at night, where female lead hires a boyfriend or fiance to deceive her family.

"Bo–ss I'm not saying that" She tried to explain. Her nervousness slowly increasing.

Mr Song looked at her and sighed. "It's okay. Just do this, hopefully it would take her off your back for the time being" He said.

Hei-Ran thought about what he had just said. Despite knowing how dangerous and decietful this was, she had to say that he was right. If she was to introduce her boss as her boyfriend to her mother, she might let her be for the time being, and then she'd stop hoading her phone with her endless calsl and text messages. Hei-Ran had to agree with him on this one.

"Okay" She nodded.

"Alright good. Then let's go" He said before stepping out of the car. He walked to the trunk where he brought out the gifts they had dropped on the road to get for her mother. Well he bought it, and he had to convince Hei-Ran to let him do it.

Hei-Ran took deep breaths to calm herself. If she looked too nervous her mother would see right through her and know this was all a scam to deceive her.

"Don't worry you'll be good" Mr song assured her when he saw her slightly pacing as she took deep breaths to calm herself.

"Okay boss" She nodded making him frown again.

"Hm?" He scrunched up his brow. "What are you supposed to call me now?" He asked.

Hei-Ran looked up at him, remnants of anxiety still lingering on her face.

"Jinhai" She said. The word seemed heavy on her lips.

"Good girl" He said, giving a satisfied nod. He took her hand in his making her stiffle, before pulling her along with him.

Hei-Ran looked down at their intertwined hands, and unlike most single girls her age who'd be sqealing in their hearts when their handsome, rich and capable boss held their hands, she felt like snatching her hand away from his grip and rinising it with some holy water. She was about to protest and ask him to let go off her hand, when she caught sight of someone spying from the window.

She didn't need to guess to know who that was. There was only one person who was shamelessly capable of doing such and that was her mother.

'Lord please help me' She prayed in her heart.
