Pay With Your Heart

When Ji-Tae had said Dan-Han would love the investor from his side of the company, Dan-Han had a feeling that was far from the truth. And indeed, he was right. The person standing before him was the very person he despised the most in the world. Kwon Nara.

"Hello, President Lee." She flashed a smile at him, but Dan-Han ignored her and glared at Ji-Tae. His blood boiled with rage when Ji-Tae flashed him a knowing smile.

"Are you really asking me to have you dealt with?" He drawled, while Ji-Tae chuckled amusedly.

"You don't have to be so worked out. This is business, big brother, don't be sentimental." Ji-Tae said, and the smug smile on his face didn't dwindle for a bit.

"Dan-Han." She called making Dan-Han look at her.

"I warned you never to step a foot into this country, didn't I?" His eyes burned with anger like never before.

"That was five years ago, Dan-Han."

"Call my name one more time, and you won't walk out of here with that head of yours." He menaced.

He gazed at Ji-Tae again. "Whatever game you're up to, take this as your last warning. I won't mind putting you to the ground even if you're family, Ji-Tae. My patience is running thin with you." He rose to his feet and glared at the annoying piece of trash that remained seated on his conference seat.

"Consider this deal over. My legal team will meet with yours." He said, but the smile on her face told him she was unfazed by the situation.

"You can't easily get rid of me this time, President Lee." She said after him as he walked away.

Dan-Han's mood turned more murderous the moment he stepped out of the conference room. Ji-Tae was getting bolder by the day and it was about time he had him handled.

"Freeze all his accounts." He seethed making Secretary Chang-wok look at him in shock, but seeing his boss' mood, he could only nod.

"Yes sir."

He paused when Dan-Han suddenly halted. "Since he wants to stay, give him a position on the third floor."

"Thi.." Third floor? Secretary Chang-wok's eyes widened. That was as good as saying he should be an intern. Because any job at the third was way below that of a secretary.

"Ye..es sir." Chang-wok replied. It seemed master Ji-Tae had really pissed of Dan-Han this time. He thought.

...

Ji-Tae burst out in a fit of laughter after Dan-Han had left making Kwon Nara cock a brow at him.

"You must hate him so much, don't you?" She asked.

"I don't hate him. I just hate his guts." He laughed even harder.

"He's not going to go easy on you now. Dan-Han can be petty and dangerous when he wants to be." Her face and voice sounded serious, and with a careful look, one could see the fear that lingered in her eyes.

"Petty and dangerous, yet, here you are." Ji-Tae scoffed at her, while she rolled her eyes.

"So what's next? He isn't going to pull through with the deal anymore. And he's definitely going to clip your wings now"

Ji-Tae found those word amusing. 'Clip his wings' Was that even possible?

"He'd probably keep me here now, and if possible keep me stranded while he makes my life miserable. This should be fun." He rupt out in laughter again making Nara shoot him a crazy look.

"So?" She urged. She was tired of hearing his annoying and dry laughter.

"I'll keep him busy, while you do your thing." He told her, making her smile. "Making my dear brother unhappy is the very bane of my life." He smiled and left the room.

They had only just left the conference room when Ji-Tae suddenly paused. His eyes gazing at a certain direction. Nara followed his gaze and she was surprised to see what,

or rather who he was looking at.

"Who is she?" She asked, while Ji-Tae looked at her.

"No one that concerns you. Just focus on your deal and my brother." He told her before walking away.

Nara watched him as he walked towards the lady. She wondered who Ji-Tae was planning to mess with this time around. The man was a true trouble seeker. She had noticed the way he stared at her, and whatever he had in mind couldn't be good. The Lee family had a mini devil and they didn't even know it. She sighed and walked away.

Ji-Tae had a smile on his face as he slowly approached the small framed woman that was standing in front of the elevator with a lost look on her face.

"It's not going to wait for you, you know?" He closely said against her ear. His voice jolted her out of her thoughts. Her brows furrowed in a displeased manner when she saw him there.

"Good afternoon, Mr Ji-Tae." She greeted with a bow even though she felt like slamming her hand against his face. She raised a curious brow at him when he chuckled.

"You don't have to be so formal with me." He said. "You can call me Ji-Tae. After all, I intend calling you by your name." He said smilingly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't be casual with you, Mr Ji-Tae." How she'd wish she didn't have to address him with his first name. But she couldn't see herself calling anybody Mr Lee. In her heart, that was only for Dan-Han. She had called him that for a long time, so it was going to be odd calling anyone else by that name, and especially not the person standing next to her.

Ji-Tae tsked. "What a shame you're still trying to be mean to me." Eun-sun wasn't in the mood to respond to his stupid comments.

"Do you intend going to his office? I heard he's in a very foul mood." His lips twitched when that seemed to get her attention.

"You care too much for a man with a short fuse." He hissed, but Eun-sun's mind had wandered far. He snapped his hand before her eyes jolting her back to reality, while she deeply frowned at him.

"Mr Ji-Tae, I appreciate it if you refrain from talking to me." She said.

"Even if I can help you get your man back?" He cocked a brow at her. He chuckled when he saw the way her eyes flickered.

"I know you'd react to that." He smiled as he took a step closer to her. "What would you give me back, if I help you get him back?" He asked. Eun-sun glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.

He returned to his full height. "I'll let you think about. Just so you know, I might be pricey.." He smilingly said before walking away, leaving her in a dumbfounded state.
