An ear piercing silence seared across the room as Dan-Han stared at the woman sitting opposite him. He couldn't believe he was sitting in the same room with her again, but he had to.
He had earlier decided not to have a meeting with Kwon-Nara, but there was something troubling his mind that he desired to confirm, but he also knew it was impossible to have a civilised conversation with her. She was some pretentious and conniving girl, and he had ways of dealing with her kind, but for his mother's sake he had tried to hold back, but heaven knows he has run out of patience.
"What do you want?" He went straight to the point, his creased brows told her he wasn't there to play word games with her. Nevertheless, Kwon-Nara amusedly chuckled as she raised the glass of wine she had been served, to her lips.
"If I should tell you, will you it to give me?" A sultry, yet teasing smile curved her lips.
He looked at his watched and replied. "You have 120 seconds."
"To what?" She asked.
"Tell me why you're here and who brought you back."
"And if I don't?" She tilted a brow at him.
Dan-Han gazed at her before lowering his eyes to the glass of wine in front of her. "Then you have 120 seconds." He lolled back on his seat, his eyes intensely staring at her as he waited for her to take the cue.
Kwon-Nara chuckled at him, but her smile slowly dwindled when she saw the cold-knowing glint in his eyes as he stared at her. She looked at the glass of wine in front of her and then at his, they had drank from the same bottle.
"What did you do?" She asked in horror and disbelief. "Did you-" She didn't want to complete her sentence, because she didn't want to believe he was capable of doing that.
"I'm only returning the favour." He lazily replied. "You have 90 seconds, Kwon-Nara."
She glanced at the glass of wine again and then back at him. "Dan-Han, you wouldn't play dirty."
"Then you don't know me." He wasn't a patient and subtle man, and she should know that better.
She stared at him as she tried to ascertain his countenance. "Dan-Han-"
"Who sighed the contract?" He asked the most important question that has been plaguing his mind for days. He already had a suspect in mind but he didn't want to be conclusive.
"Are you insinuating someone forged your signature?"
"You have 30 seconds." He told her. His lips curved up when he saw the panic in her eyes as she suddenly gripped her chest.
"Don't worry, it's not your heart beat rising to an overdose of aphrodisiac as you did to me. This is something better, but be rest assured I won't let you die." He paused and tauntingly smiled at her. "Only if you answer my question. Who gave you my signature?" He asked again.
A few moments of hesitation elasped. "You already know who." She replied." Ji-Tae wouldn't be that stupid, you know?" Of course, he knew. His eyes darkened when he realized he had been right all along. His suspect was indeed the culprit.
"And does Ji-Tae know you're double crossing him?" He asked while she snickered.
"Ji-Tae is a fool. He's just a means to an end."
Dan-Han chuckled derisively as he looked at her with pity. He didn't know who was the fool here. "Only a fool would call Lee Ji-Tae, a fool." He said as he stood up to his feet while her eyes followed him.
"Dan-Han." She called while he looked at her. He knew why she called, he could see the panic in her eyes.
"Don't worry, it's just something to mess with your heart rate. You'll be fine." He said while she looked at him in shock. She couldn't believe he had played her. Her lips curved up in to a smile.
"This is why I'm so hellbent on you. You're one shrewd man."
"And your stupidity might be the very reason why you might be having an early trip to hell." He told her. "I let you go once not because I wanted to but because my mother wanted me to, but now she's gone, and believe me, I'm a bit irrational at the moment. So thread with caution." He told as he headed for the door, but he halted when she spoke up.
"I might have been stupid and naive then, but believe me Lee Dan-Han, this time you can't get rid of me that easily." She smiled.
Dan-Han looked at her and snorted. He could see she prides herself to be smart and witful when he could see otherwise.
"When you stop being a pawn to Ji-Tae, then you can try being smart with me. And also, you're still not my type." He hissed and left with Chang-wok tailing behind. He could tell the boss' mood was grave the moment he walked out of the private room.
"Boss, who did she tell you-"
"Let's go to the Lee mansion." He interjected him as he took longer strides outside the restaurant with a grim look on his face.
The moment Dan-Han stepped out of the room, Kwon-Nara picked up her phone and dialled a number.
"He knows." She said before the call was disconnected.
.....
Dan-Han's blood raged all through the drive. He had wondered how he could have made such a mistake, but he couldn't get an answer. He had tried blaming it on his lack of concentration lately, but he still didn't think he'd make such a mistake, not even in his sleep.
The moment he stepped into the Lee mansion he went in search of his father who seemed to be expecting his visit.
"Son."
"What nonsense do you think you're doing now? Shouldn't you be mourning?" His cold voice came asking. Father Lee looked at him before taking a sip from his cup of tea. He placed the cup on the saucer by his side before looking at Dan-Han again.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
