In-Ha had his eyes fixed on Eun-sun as she walked away with her friend. He felt sort of guilty for what she was going through at the moment. He had played a role in all of this. He knew Dan-Han was vexed with them, especially with him, but he thought he should at least go easy on her. She didn't deserve this much cruelty from him. He wasn't sure how his meeting with her would go, but he wanted to be hopeful. 

"You sure do know how to look for trouble, Kang In-Ha." A female voice said from behind him. He turned around and he was surprised to see Ni-Na standing behind him.

"Ni-Na?" He looked at her with surprise and disbelief. When did she come back?

"I see you haven't changed." She hissed at him before revealing a small smile.

"Come here, you little brat." He smiled and pulled her into a tight hug. 

"Mind the hair, In-Ha." She jokingly warned before he could ruffle her hair. He laughed and let her go. His eyes looked her over with incredulity.

"I can't believe, my little kiddo is here."

"I'm no longer a kiddo, Kang In-Ha. I'm a lady, so watch it." She mockingly glared at him, making him smile even more.

"I'm sorry young lady." He teased while she nodded approvingly. Her smile suddenly disappeared and her face turned serious as she looked at him with much intensity.

"What did you guys do to my brother?" She asked. 

"Which brother? Ji-Tae?" He asked making her to roll her eyes at him.

"President Lee Dan-Han." The smile on In-Ha's face suddenly dissipated. He wasn't surprised that no one knew what was going on between them. It was typical of Dan-Han to never tell a soul about his problems or misunderstandings. This made him realize, how alone Dan-Han must be at the moment. Though himself and Jae-Hyun barely did much for him, they've been always been there to keep him company at his tough times.

"I don't know how to tell-" He stuttered.

She shot him a skeptical look. "Does this have something to do with her? I saw the way you looked at her. In-Ha did you do something to my brother's woman?" She had a feeling Eun-sun was somehow involved in whatever was going on. Her aunt had told her all about Dan-Han and his girlfriend, and she had been ecstatic to see them both before the unfortunate incident occured, but she also wasn't expecting to come meet a cold war between the inseparable lovers. 

Her eyes narrowed at him when she observed the guilty countenance on his face. "You made a pass at her didn't you?" She asked in a way that said she was sure of it. Her voice sounded tight and suspicious.

"It's not like that." He tried defending himself.

A wry laugh escape her lips when he guiltily looked away. A certain emotion flickered in her eyes as she stared at him with disappointment. 

"I thought you'd change for once. But it seems you'll always remain this way. You'll always be selfish, wrecking hearts and not valuing your relationships with others." She sighed and walked away.

In-Ha watched in surprise as she walked away, but for some reasons he didn't know why her words sort of affected him.

Was he truly selfish?

Su family Mansion

The entire Su family were surprised to see Hei-Ran amble into the family house with a serious look on her face.

"Hei-Ran?" Her mother called in surprise when she saw her daughter walk in.

"Hei-Ran, my dear, you're here." Her grandmother chirped excitedly while Hei-Ran bowed and greeted them. She was equally surprised to see her parents and Seul-Bi there.

"Sist, did someone annoy you?" Seul-Bi asked while her parents carefully observed Hei-Ran's face. She looked pissed.

"Not really." She replied. "I'm here to see Grandfather." Everyone shared a look among themselves. Something was obviously wrong with her, they thought.

"And what can grandfather do for you?" Hei-Ran turned around to see her grandfather descending the stairs with the help of his assistant.

"Grandfather," She bowed.

The old man stopped in front of her, "I thought you'd never come to visit me anytime soon."

"I have something important to discuss with you. Can we talk in your office?" The old man shot her a skeptical look. She was being too formal and serious.

He nodded and led the way to his office. His intent eyes stayed on her as he waited for her to say whatever made her look this serious.

"I accept your offer." She said making the old man raise a brow at her in a questioning manner. "I'll take over Su corps." She added. The stoic look on her face not wavering for a bit.

"You will?" His brow tilted. He didn't sound excited as she had expected but rather he sounded skeptical. If she knew her grandfather well enough, then this reaction was the most expected.

"Yes. But-" She paused, piquing his interest.

"But what?" 

"It will only be temporary." 

A frown appeared on his face as he tried to make sense of her words.

"Temporary?"

She nodded. "Yes.There's something I have to look at and confirm for myself and I can't do that from outside the company." 

"A-Yeong." He nodded knowingly making Hei-Ran to look at him suspiciously. "You don't think you're the only one with keen eyes right?" He teased. "That I might be old, doesn't mean I've lost my wits." 

"I would have thought otherwise." She hissed making the man glare at her. A smile twitched at the side of her lips, but she quickly recomposed herself. "Do you know what she's up to?" She finally asked.

Old man Su sighed and shook his head dejectedly. "I'm still looking at it. But now that you're here, I think I can leave it to you." He told her.

They both maintained a few moments of silence before he spoke up again. "What about your boss, or should I say your boyfriend?"

"What about him?"

"Is he going to let you resign? I heard you found a clingy man this time around."

"He's not clingy." She defended her man, while he nodded. But the look on his face told her he believed otherwise.

"So is he going to let you out of his sight?" He questioned. Hei-Ran looked away as she thought about it. She hasn't really considered Jin-Hai, neither has she told him about it. But would he really let her go? 

Thinking about it now, she could already fell a headache coming.
