Hei-Ran's office
Hei-Ran had a sheepish grin on her face as she stared at the bouquet that had just been delivered to her office, as well as the pack of lunch that had been delivered alongside it.
She knew it was from him.
She opened the card tucked inside the flowers, and it read, 'Lunch with me? Please..' a cute smiley was attached to the sender's name, 'Your die-hard crush.'
"Crush, huh?" That's the name he has given to himself now? The smile on her face widened.
He's just so adorable.
"So?" A voice suddenly came from the door. Raising her eyes to the door, she saw him poking his head into her office..
"So..." She stressed, desperately trying to hide the blush creeping up her face. These days she couldn't help but smile whenever he was around. Even her heart kept thumping hard at the sight of him.
This man has been relentless in his pursuit since she dared him to woo her. She should have known better than to tell him something like that. For someone who had kept her by his side for years with the lamest and cruellest excuse, she has sure given him an easy task. But little did she know that to Jin-Hai, this wasn't an easy task at all. But was he complaining? Hell no!
As a matter of fact, he loved the chase. He loved the fact that she was making him atone for his sins.
Her strong will and determination to do what she sets her mind on were some of the reasons why he kept falling for her.
Cocking a brow, he looked at her weirdly as he pushed the door and walked in.
"Stop doing this."
"Doing what?" She feigned ignorance. It wasn't easy keeping a straight face whenever he was around. Her eyes were dancing with excitement at the mere sight of him. Sweet lord!
"Making things hard for me." He said, slowly approaching her table.
"I can't remember making anything hard for you. Or have I?" She shot him a mocking look making him sigh.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" He asked while she flashed him a knowing smile.
"You have no idea." A wicked smile was splitting her face.
"This is nothing compared to the stress and hell you made me go through for six years, Song Jin-Hai." She told him
"I know, but can't you punish me in some other way? This is too much."
"Too much?" She looked at him in disbelief. She couldn't believe he would dare say that. He had given her six years of non-stop rest. He was working her to the bone. Even though his intentions were sincere, he should have found a more subtle way of handling things.
What happened to just asking a girl out? Even if she had rejected him, he should have taken it as a challenge and upped his game. Now he dares complains? Tch! And what other ways was he talking about?
Jin-Hai let out an exasperated sigh when she eyed him wickedly.
"It's fine. I deserve this and more, but will you have lunch with me? I-I've missed your face." He slightly stuttered, making Hei-Ran smile. His recent attitude was always so cute.
Feigning hesitation, Hei-Ran looked at the time and said, "I'm quite busy but think I can spare you five minutes of my time."
Five minutes? Just five minutes? God! this girl. It was apparent she really liked taunting him, and she would keep this up for a very long time.
But could she finish lunch and get rid of him in five minutes? He'd like to see her try.
She seems to forget that he was the boss of the company. Her boss.
With a malicious smile spread across his face, he picked up the packs of food and placed them on the small centre table, while Hei-Ran tried to put her flowers away, so it wouldn't attract the eyes of anyone who stepped into her office later.
Jin-Hai constant visit to her office these past few days has been raising brows, and seeing flowers later might stir up some gossip.
Jin-Hai watched as she walked towards the table, and he couldn't help but pull her closer, making Hei-Ran gasp in shock.
"W-what are you doing, Jin-Hai?" She asked, desperately trying to break free from him, but his grip around her waist tightened, even more, pressing her tightly against his chest while Hei-Ran stiffened.
His muscles were so strong. How hard did he work out? Okay, she really had to start working on herself too! She told herself.
"How long do you plan on making me wait?" His once gentle voice suddenly became deep and rough but yet so pleasant.
"Hmm?" Hei-Ran was highly distracted with him and his muscles, so much she didn't hear him well. Her breath was hitched, and the sensual look in his eyes wasn't making things any easier.
He tucked a tendril of hair behind her ear and trailed his hand down her cheek. His actions were so smooth and hot that Hei-Ran felt her knees go weak. And the way he kept staring at her lips like he was in pain and only a taste of them could heal him.
"Hei-Ran, please don't take too long. The wait is killing me." He whispered in a low voice.
"You won't die." She bit her lips after that impulsive reply, and Jin-Hai couldn't help but sigh.
Such a wicked girl.
"You'll be mine soon, I assure you." He said before letting go of her, causing Hei-Ran to sigh regrettably. She could do with more of that. He was making her hot.
Hei-Ran!
Maybe she should say yes now. And let him have the victory? No way! She'll make him suffer a bit more.
Quickly composing herself, she took a seat on the sofa while Jin-Hai handed her a plate, and they both ate peacefully with Jin-Hai stealing occasionally glances at her, of course.
"Thank you for the meal," Hei-Ran said appreciatively, while Jin-Hai nodded.
She was about to say something else when her phone suddenly began to ring, and the moment she saw who the caller was, her heart skipped.
'Grandfather? What happened? '
Grandfather Su hasn't called her since the incident that occurred six years ago at the Su company. So why was he calling her now?
Hesitantly picking the call, her shaking voice spoke up, "Hel-lo grandfather."
"Hmm, Hei-Ran."
"Grandfather, you called?" Her voice sounded unsure. Did he know who he was calling?
"And is that strange?" His ever patriarchal voice came sounding through the phone.
"No, no, grandfather. Is just that..."
"It's fine. I called to ask you to come to see me this evening." He said. It wasn't a request. It was an order.
"Okay. I'll be there." She replied, and the next second, the call was disconnected. As expected of him.
Noticing the awkward look on her face, Jin-Hai asked, "Did something happen?" He had heard a conversation, so he knew it was a call from home.
"I don't know." Came her honest reply.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
