Chapter 349: Trouble

“Have you gone to the hospital?” Ji-Tae coldly asked.

“No.”

“Then why are you calling me?” From his tone he seemed displeased, but so was she. She was displeased with this plan of his.

“Ji-Tae, I don’t think this is right. I..I” Kwon-Nara stuttered.

“Are you having second thoughts?”

“I’ve always had second thoughts about this. I’d never do this-”

“Don’t you want Dan-Han any more? You’ve given up on being the madam of the Lee empire?” He cut off.

.....

“I...No!” She snapped. She drew in a short shaky breath. “This isn’t how I want to be with him.” The most update n0vels are published on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt

“Then tell me how you intend to get him back?” He asked. He could already tell the silly kindergarten plot she has in her head and he felt sorry for her.

“I...I”

Ji-Tae scoffed hearing her stutter. “I know what your silly thoughts are, but don’t you dare lay a hand on her.” He warned.

“Why? Have you taken a liken to her? Is this why you’re doing this?”

“Why I’m doing this is no business of yours, young lady. If you want to get Dan-Han, then do as I say. And do I have to remind you, why Dan-Han hates you? He’d never fall for a seduction plan, especially not with you involved. You should stick to what you know how to do best, staying pretty. So stop trying to use that brain of yours and simply do as I say!” He roared out his last words.

Ji-Tae was getting irritated by her daily. If he didn’t need her for his plans, he’d get rid of her already, but he didn’t want to do that, atleast not now. Her death would serve a purpose.

Kwon-Nara still wasn’t convinced. “Ji-Tae, taking Dan-Han’s specimen from the clinic and trying to force his hand wouldn’t make much difference to him.” She told him. She wasn’t sure Ji-Tae was seeing things clearly. Forcing Dan-Han to be with her like this would only make the man hate her more, not like he didn’t hate her enough already. And with that little woman in his life she wondered if this plan was really going to work as Ji-Tae was expecting.

Ji-Tae sighed over the phone. “You’re getting worried for nothing.”

“I’m not getting worried for nothing. We both know who Dan-Han is. The man will kill me and dump my body where no one will ever find it, pregnant or not. And even you will not be safe from him.” Kwon-Nara lectured him. She had been down with the idea from the get-go because she was ambitious, but after seeing Dan-Han and remembering how monsterous he could be when he chose to, she decided to give this plan a second thought.

What wouldn’t she give to be with Lee Dan-Han. She’d give her all, but that doesn’t include her life which the man would readily snuff out of her.

“Ji-Tae.” She called when the other side became too quiet.

He hissed. “Don’t worry yourself about dying, even if you do, it will be profitable.”

“Ji-Tae!”

“Kwon-Nara, I said relax. Nothing will happen to you. We still have our trump card. Uncle will never allow Dan-Han to lay hold on his probable grandchild, so relax.” Ji-Tae patience was thinning out by the second. He hated repeating himself especially to her.

“But..”

“No buts. Just do as you’re told. And don’t forget what’s at stake if you fail me. You owe me your life, darling. Now, be a good girl and get to the clinic. Call me when you have a positive result, hopefully in a week’s time. I’d use this weekend to warm him up for the things to come, then he’d be too busy to deal with you.” He darkly chuckled before ending the call.

Kwon-Nara felt goosebumps crawl over her skin after the call ended. Why does it feel like she has been bedding a devil in disguise. She had a feeling there was more to Ji-Tae’s plan. He still wasn’t sharing how impregnating herself with Dan-Han’s stored specimen at the lab was profitable to him. She wasn’t buying the him and Father Lee’s deal, that was crap.

There was more and she had no idea how to go about it. Ji-Tae was dangerously cunny. But any way, she was going to try this her way too, and that involved taking that woman out of the picture.

She dialled a number on her phone and soon the call connected.

“Is she back? Or did she really quit?” She asked.

“She just got back, and no one is saying anything about how she didn’t show up for days. I think she’s sleeping with someone at the top. Remember I told you how the president secretary came delivery food for her when she first got here, and how she keeps getting called to the top floor? I think she’s sleeping with him. How dare she?!” Min-Jung cussed.

Kwon-Nara scoffed inwardly. Sleeping with Dan-Han’s secretary, indeed. She wondered how the girl would feel if she finds out that she was sleeping with the president and not his secretary.

Wait! Were they sleeping together already? Kwon-Nara wondered.

No, She didn’t think so. Even before Dan-Han’s problem, he wasn’t a man moved by such otherworldly desires. He always acted different from other men. He might be attracted to that lady for now, but he’d be over her as soon as she was out of sight and out of his life.

“I want you to do something for me.” Nara told her.

...

Eun-sun was surprised when she saw the happy smiles on the faces of her colleagues as she walked into the office. Several round of ‘welcome back’, echoed in the air, and she was more surprised by Hye-Jin who pulled her into a tight hug.

“Have you solved your family issue?” Hye-Jin curiously asked.

‘Family issue?’ Was that issue Dan-Han had given the director?

Without thinking about it, she nodded.

“Well that’s good. You got me scared when you just took your bag and left. I thought you were fired.” Hye-Jin told her.

“Sorry about that.” Eun-sun apologized as they broke the hug. She could remember Hye-Jin calling after her that day. She had even called her, but she turned off her phone.

“It’s okay. I’m happy I got my desk partner. You might be boring at times, but I’ve grown to like you like that.” Hye-Jin chipped, while Eun-sun wondered whether to laugh or cry.

She was boring at times? She couldn’t believe her.

Well, she was always uptight, and most times taciturn. And the few weeks when she had Dan-Han broke up had affected her at work, so she could imagine what Hye-Jin was saying.

Both ladies were still talking when a familiar unpleasant face showed up in front of them.

Hye-Jin glared at the girl. “What do you want?” She asked, but the girl rolled her eyes and ignored her, before glancing at Eun-sun who was blankly staring at her.

“Here.” She dumped some heap of files on the desk.

“What’s this?” Eun-sun asked, her eyes skeptically looking at the files.

“Files on the project you were working on, before you left.”

“So?” She cocked a brow at her.

“So, you can have them back. It was handed over to me when you left, as your partner here was too ‘busy’ to take them. But since you’re here, you can continue from where you stopped.”

Eun-sun could clearly see she was here to cause trouble. She was about to speak up when Hye-Jin spoke up first.

“You must think you’re smart. These files were given to you. If I remember correctly, you willingly offered to take them. So what now? Does she look like a push over to you?” Hye-Jin was irritated by Min-Jung’s cockiness. She and her brainless partner has always been the annoying bi**hes of the department.

Min-Jung shot Eun-sun a condescending look as she eyed her. “I don’t think she’s a push over, but she’s clearly an opportunist. You think I don’t know you’re sleeping with an executive in the company? Others might be daft but I’m not.”

“Yeah, you’re more than daft!” Hye-Jin snapped, her loud voice attracting the attention of the people around.

Eun-sun observed the pairs of eyes now staring at them. She placed her hand on Hye-Jin’s who looked like she was about to pounce on the girl. She held back a smile. Hye-Jin’s current attitude reminded of Hei-Ran.

“It’s okay.” She said, making Hye-Jin frown.

“You’re not thinking about accepting this rubbish are you?” Hye-Jin’s frown lines deepened.

Eun-sun gave her a comforting smile. “It’s okay. The job was actually mine in the first place. There’s no need to make a fuss over it.” She smiled and turned to Min-Jung. “Thank you for helping me. You can leave.” Eun-sun told her.

The girl glared at her and then at Min-Jung before letting out a long hiss. Read Web Novels Online Free - NovelFire Novel Fire - novelfire.net

“You’re to submit them by morning. So get to it.” She hissed again and walked away.

Eun-sun chuckled as she watched her leave. She had clearly come for trouble but she wasn’t going to give her what she wanted. She had a plan, and that was working her way to the top, and troublesome like this would always be on her path.

“You shouldn’t have let her go without these files.” Hye-Jin was clearly displeased about this.

Eun-sun smiled at her. “It’s okay.” She said. Hye-Jin might think she just let Min-jung walk over her, but that wasn’t the case. She must learn not to react to every rubbish thrown at her. And also the files she had been working on were mostly about Dan-Han’s current project, and she cared about it too much.

Hye-Jin sighed and returned back to her work, while Eun-sun picked up the files and started to work. Staring at the heap of files, she realized the problem that would come from it later.

Lee Dan-Han.
