Eun-Sun didn't stay a second more than the thirty minutes she had agreed to. She left as soon as it was time and In-Ha didn't object.

As soon as she returned back to the apartment, a happy squeal came piercing through her ears, and before she knew it, a slender body was tightly pressed against hers, with arms squeezing her tightly.

"Hei-Ran" Eun-Sun called out with a smile. She was expecting Hei-Ran's usual craziness, but right now the squealing and squeezing was way beyond normal.

"I'm super proud of you baby girl" Hei-Ran said hugging her a bit more tightly.

"I— kn—ow, you're stran—gli" Eun-Sun was literally been suffocated by her best friend.

"Okay that's enough Hei-Ran, you're going to kill her with your hug" Ji-Sang spoke from behind the two ladies, as he slowly approached them.

"Oh, sorry" Hei-Ran finally let go if Eun-Sun, giving her room to gasp for air and refill her oxygen deprived lungs.

"Hei-Ran — don't you ev—er hug me again" Eun-Sun warned with a mock glare.

"You're just joking" Hei-Ran smacked her slightly on the arm.

"Congratulations Eun-Sun" Ji-Sang said as he walked closer and also gave Eun-Sun a hug, but he quickly pulled away so as not to make things look a bit awkward.

"Thank you" She replied.

"Well I ordered some food and drinks so we can celebrate the latest employed staff" Hei-Ran annouced gleefully, pulling Eun-Sun to the table.

The atmosphere was a quite lively, it was filled with a little bit of teasing and laughing. It was the first time in for forever that Ji-Sang and Hei-Ran were seeing Eun-Sun feel smiled brightly and looked a bit happy. It was nothing like she was ten years ago, but it was way better than she has ever been since her father left. Ji-Sang could barely take his eyes off her. He kept stealing glances at her every now and down, much to Hei-Ran's knowledge. She sighed in her heart seeing the lovelorn look on Ji-Sang's face.

"Yeah, Ji-Sang you said you have something to tell us. What is it?" Eun-Sun asked, as she turned to him.

He cleared his throat and lowered the can of beer he has been sipping on to the table.

"I'm leaving" He announced in a low tone.

"What do you mean by that? Leaving for where?" Eun-Sun inquired.

"Leaving the country. My company provided me with an opportunity to work abroad and be the branch vice president, so yeah that's why"

"Really? That's great news Ji-Sang, I'm happy for you. Congratulations!" Eun-Sun said.

"Thank you" Ji-Sang replied in a slightly disappointed voice as he let out a small smile. Hei-Ran remained mute, closely observing the guy sitted on the adjacent to her. Ji-Sang didn't look like someone who was happy about this opportunity, as a matter of fact he looked like he rather stay behind than leave. She was sure Eun-Sun knew this, but she was simply going to turn a blind eye to it. He has unrequitedly loved Eun-Sun for years but she was never open to love.

"Are sure that's what you want?" Hei-Ran finally asked.

Ji-Sang surreptitiously glanced at Eun-Sun before replying, "I'm sure I'll be happy"

.....

Eun-Sun resumed work early the next morning, she was still as enthusiastic as she was yesterday. She didn't want to think much of Ji-Sang leaving, it might dampen her mood. Though she has always tried to put some reasonable distance between them, it still didn't change the fact that Ji-Sang was her friend who she has known for years. And knowing he was leaving his family and friends behind under the pretence of work was making her feel like she was evil. But she also can't beg him to stay. It was better this way. He'll learn to move on.

She was surprised to see a bouquet of flowers waiting on her desk as soon as she walked into the office. Her brows furrowed at the sight of it, as she wondered where it might have come from.

She was a little embarrassed when she saw her new colleagues smiling at her teasingly. She picked up the bouquet and saw a small card in it.

'Flowers to inspire a beautiful lady on her second day at work. Congratulations once more. Have a nice day

In-Ha'

She hissed inaudibly after reading the note. Why did he send her this? Who said she needed inspiration to work? Something must be wrong with that fellow. He has already congratulated her so there was no need for the flowers.

She immediately had the urge to threw them away. She was about to do that when she suddenly felt a cold and piercing gaze on her. Slowly she lifted her head and she was greeted with a pair of cold eyes staring at her.

'Mr Lee?'

.....

Dan-Han arrived work as usual dressed in a black handmade suit, he was slowly heading up to his private elevator with Secretary Chang-Wok tailing behind when he abruptly stopped on his strides. He turned around and started for the direction of the general elevators.

Chang-Wok was suprised by Dan-Han actions. Why was the president trying to use one of the general elevators? There was nothing wrong with his right?

"President?" Secretary Chang-Wok quietly called out as he followed behind.

"Has she reported to the office?" Dan-Han asked without looking back at his confused secretary.

"Sir?" Dan-Han turned and glared at him before continuing his strides to the elevator.

If he couldn't tell who he was talking about, then he wasn't qualified to work with him.

"Yes sir, she has" Secretary Chang-Wok replied when he realized who he was referring to. He was definitely more confused now. Since when did the president pay attention to a mere staffs? It wasn't because his mother directly recommended her right? He doubted that, because this wasn't the first time the Madam did something like that. So why was he acting paying attention to this one in particular?

"Isn't that the president? Why is he headed for those elevators?" A male staff by the security check-in whispered to his colleague as they stared at Dan-Han in utter confusion. This has never happened before. In fact it was not supposed to happen. Now they weren't sure if they were still allowed to ride that elevator ever again.

"Someone must be in trouble. I don't know what's happening today" The other colleague replied in trepidation. It seems luck was not on someone's side this morning.

Dan-Han who pretended to be oblivious of the awkward stares he was getting. from his staffs, non-chalantly headed for the development department. He wasn't sure why he was heading there so early this morning, but he just found himself doing so.

A frown appeared on his face when he arrived the office and he saw Eun-Sun holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a note which she was currently reading in the other hand.

Secretary Chang-Wok felt his palm sweat when he saw the look on Dan-Han's face.

Just a while ago he had his signature look on his face, but now there was a grim look, like he was about to murder someone. The change of expression on his face has happened the moment he saw Eun-Sun. This definitely doesn't mean well for the poor girl.

Something was about to happen to her and he was sure Eun-Sun would wish she hadn't worked here. Just yesterday he had heard her scolding the president and when he thought she was going to get kicked out, Dan-Han had given her job. Dan-Han must be devising a way to punish her.

Poor girl.

Eun-Sun was uncomfortable when she met the pair of eyes staring dangerously at her. Why does it look like he was glaring at her or no....she followed his gaze and realized he was staring at the flowers. She quickly dropped it on her desk and bowed just like the others did.

Dan-Han turned his gaze from her and looked at his secretary, "Make her work" Dan-Han said nonchalantly before turning away.

He paused again and Secretary Chang-Wok hurried up to him. Dan-Han's eyes stayed on the door to Eun-Sun's office for a bit before saying, "And find out who sent those flowers. And tell her I'm in a bad mood" He instructed him before walking away.

How could Secretary Chang-Wok not understand what his boss meant,.or what he wanted to do. He was sure going to pick on her.

But what does he mean by he was in a bad mood? There has never been a time when he was ever seen to be in a good mood. This new staff must have incurred the wrath of Lee Dan-Han on herself.

Secretary Chang-Wok suddenly felt sorry her. If Dan-Han chose to bully a mere staff what could he possibly do? It seems Eun-Sun wasn't going to have a good time working in this company.

When Eun-Sun saw the pitiful look that Secretary Chang-Wok gave her, she panicked inwardly. Her worries were confirmed when Chang-Wok passed Dan-Han's message to her.

Eun-Sun was lost. She had nothing to do with his mood. So was he going to vent on her by increasing the so-called interest rate?

He should go to hell!!!
