Sterile?

Eun-sun was sure she hadn't heard well as she looked at him with incredulity.

"Who's sterile?" She asked, her gaze intensely narrowed on the man in front of her. He was spewing nonsense. Utter nonsense!

Ji-Tae's looked at her in shocked surprise. "He didn't tell you?" He tsked and shook his head in a disappointed way before she could even reply, not that she wanted to answer anyway.

He let out a wry sigh. "How typical of my brother." He said. "But I guess it's understandable. The man is embarrassed about his situation. That vixen had tried to spice up his life, but she had ruined it before he could even start." He sighed and shook his head. "What a shame." He added.

Eun-sun stoically looked at him as she tried to gauge his countenance and the truth behind his words. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't tell if he was lying to her. But he had to be. She didn't believe him, and she didn't want to consider him.

Ji-Tae hissed when he saw the look of unbelief in her eyes.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Jae-Hyun. After all, that guy is good at helping people keep their secret, just like he helped aunty, and brother blames you for it."

The word 'secret' echoed in Eun-sun's head. Dan-Han had a secret all this while, and he didn't tell her. She held back the scoff teasing the tip of her tongue. 

Bolts of anger surged through her. She hurriedly turned off her system and picked up her bag, ready to storm out of the office.

"Eun-sun." Ji-Tae tried to hold her hand, but she turned and glared at him.

"Touch me, and I'll break that hand of yours." She roared before walking away.

"Fiesty." Ji-Tae smiled as he watched her leave with heavy steps. He was amused by her every time. He could tell there was so much buried in the girl, but her emotions were keeping her all locked in. He walked to her desk and plopped himself on her seat while he smiled broadly to himself. Dan-Han was going to love this small surprise, he thought.

This was going to be the beginning of the mess in his life. He had a bigger surprise for him by the end of the week.

"He'll run mad." He chortled.

Eun-sun tried to fight the anger that coursed through her as she walked out of the company building. She didn't want to believe Ji-Tae and let her anger consume her because she had a feeling that was what he wanted. Just like what Ni-Na had said, he was trying to drive a rift between her already compromised relationship with Dan-Han. But despite knowing this, she still felt angry. If what Ji-Tae had said was true, that meant Dan-Han had lied to her. He lied to her from the very beginning. And if he did, she was also not going to forgive him.

She was seething with anger as she pushed through the doors. How she wished to seek him out and ask him for the truth, but she couldn't. She abruptly halted when she saw someone familiar standing before her, obviously waiting for her. It was Mother Lee's driver. She could recognise the middle-aged man any day.

Her eyes darted around to see if he had brought someone, but the man approached her and bowed to her, and she bowed back.

"Good evening, miss Park." He greeted her, and she also greeted back.

"Someone wants to meet you." He said, making her brows furrow together.

'Someone?'

"Who?" She asked. She already had a feeling who it was, and his answer confirmed her suspicion.

"The old master."

Her grip over her bag suddenly tightened. Why did he want to see her? She knew how much he hated her now. So why would he suddenly want to see her now?

"Why?" She inquired.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. But you'd have to follow me." He walked towards the car and held the door for her. Eun-sun hesitated, even though she knew she had to. Her eyes darted around as if searching for a particular person, but there was no one.

She heaved a sigh and slowly boarded the car. She calmed herself when the door locked, and the driver began to drive.

Eun-sun had a lot of thoughts running through her mind as they drove to the Lee family Mansion. Despite her effort to calm her racing heart, it still pounded heavily. She didn't know what the man wanted from her, or why he wanted to see her, but she could guess this 'meeting' wasn't going to end in her favour.

Her palms were sweaty as she stepped out from the car and followed the driver to the pavilion at the garden where she saw father Lee waiting for her.

"Be calm." She whispered herself as she approached him.

"Good evening, sir," She bowed and greeted. She could see the unfriendly look in his eyes as he sipped his drink.

He didn't return her greeting, nor did he offer her a seat. Eun-sun felt her heart pick up its pace when the man looked at her irritatedly.

"I asked my son to send you away, but he's been stupid." He said. Eun-sun wasn't too surprised to hear that as she knew how much the man hated everything about her. So him wanting her gone from his son's life didn't surprise her.

He brought out a file from his side and placed it on the table, indicating her to pick it up. He tilted his head towards it.

Eun-sun looked at the file before slowly reaching for it. Her hands shook when she saw what was inside of it. It was details about her and her family, most especially her parents.

"Your father is a wanted criminal, and your mother a cheap whore, and also an addict." He scoffed, making Eun-sun's hand tremble as her grip on the paper tightened.

"This information is enough to topple him and the company. Do you know that?" He cocked a brow at her, but she didn't reply.

"My son thinks he loves you, but he's just been stupid. He doesn't need a liability like you, who he'd have to look over for the rest of his life. And definitely not someone who caused his family pain. He needs someone strong, reliable and capable and would help him scale greater heights, and you're not that." He said.

"What do you want?" Eun-sun asked through her teeth.

Pointing to the file, he said. "The information there can send your father to jail for the rest of his life, and your mother well-"

"What do you want?" She interjected him. Her eyes were now coldly staring at him.

The man sighed as he put his glass down. "I want you to leave. Leave my company and my son." He paused and continued, "And leave this country. I'll make all the arrangements for you to do so, and I'll also pay you even though I know you don't deserve it."

Eun-sun felt her mind in rage. Her fingers clenched hardly.

"And if I don't?" She asked defiantly.

The man shot her a death look, but he soon relaxed his brows and sank into his chair.

"Then you'll be responsible for your father going to jail and for Dan-Han losing the company.. What would it be, young lady?" He asked.
