Chereads / Darken World Brighten Love / Chapter 45 - Almost

Chapter 45 - Almost

Sung-Ho:)

"Why can't you pull your attention on work? There isn't any need to interfere in confidential life, alright? Now you get your work done. I want all the files by evening," not just one day two days but condoning her nonsense had become immense stress for me.

Yeah, just a few days before I had a new Secretary named Hattie.

I didn't have any issue having a female assistant but sometimes she becomes a pain in the ass. Initiated fetching personal, many times endeavoured to persuade by wearing short dresses. I have been struggling to draw no attention to her but now I had enough of her.

Today's morning, she came in the direction of my office to heave her dirty tricks on me, with an excuse of some office work with the holding files in hand.

Knock! knock!

"Come in," I didn't notice the person as I got myself busy with work on a laptop.

But her, pretending some fake cough to grab my attention.

"Boss, these are some files to get signed by you, please," she said seductively while forwarding me the file.

I did without being against her because she wasn't worth it.

"Done, you may leave, " I pulled an order, in the hope of getting it fulfilled by her, but no, she always did what wasn't told to her.

Catching her insights, I gawked at her. Staggering my head, I rose my eyebrows.

"Why aren't you leaving?" I said in a cold tone, putting on my best expression to let her know that I felt disgusted by her.

"I had one question for you?" she spoke slowly, faking the act of the good person. Yeah! she was good by nature but sometimes she turned out to be bitch.

"Hm?" I hummed in response to response, wanting her to continue with her words.

"Don't mind me, by any chance do you have any girlfriend?"

Enough!

"Why do you come up with the same question every day? Perhaps you aren't afraid to lose this job. Am I right?"

"I didn't mean that," she pulled out innocently.

"I just wanted to know about you," I knew what she was striving to do by this, and that's why I never counted her as a part of life whom I could believe with life.

"Sorry, but I didn't want to share it with you, you are here for work, please focus on that only," I asked while typing on a laptop.

"Sorry, sir. I am leaving," she said while bowing a little.

"Please,"

"Sung-Ho? S-i-r??" here comes him, Justin. But his cracking voice made me lose some giggles when he collided with her and his tone suddenly take a change of calmness as he never addressed me informally in front of staff.

"Please," he said while showing her the way outside.

She threw annoying to look at him, which made me wonder about her behaviour.

"What's wrong with her man?" he asked.

"Please don't address her," I said while fixing hair with fingers.

"Hey, what happened?"

I laughed at his concerned state before asking him to catch a seat.

"I don't know what's wrong with her in actual but whenever she occurs in front of me, she starts to ask if I have a girlfriend or not, this is what she asks every day when got chance to enter the cabin," I said while fixing my sights on him.

"Oh, don't worry I'm here for you, I will handle her,"

I sighed knowing that he would handle her, by his ways.

"Alright, what made you come here?"

"Oh yes, actually Min invited you for dinner tonight with me, so don't forget to join," he said, relaxing his arm on the edge of the chair.

"But why I would impede you two, you should go, and spend some time alone, isn't it?"

"That's what I said to her, why call him, I won't be able to love her but she denied that it's her birthday so no issue," ah this man.

"Such a bastard," said,

He giggled

"Come tonight, okay and don't forget to bring something for her,"

I nodded and then after five minutes of talk about work, he left the office.

I sighed after putting a pause on work and lounged my head on the chair, witnessing the ceiling for a few seconds, thinking of any gift to greet Min.

Thinking about my birthday, made me remember about her, her birthday which would be coming soon.

I smiled, thinking that how she celebrated her birthday by spending the daytime with animals and the evening with her friends which made me miss her even more. These sudden thoughts about her, make me crave for her.

"Miss you!"

Jin-Ae:)

"Ah, today is her birthday," I said out in a cheerful tone while peeking at the view from the window of the plane.

I took the earliest flight to the US, to surprise her.

I saw her yesternight, she looked down for reason which she didn't let out after thousand of times, I asked. Just said that getting stressed from work.

"You won't sad my princess, I'm coming," I said aloud.

I also bought her gifts, like so many and I bet she would love them. But now the only thing I wanted was to overtake her before midnight, otherwise, it all would in vain.

Ji-Hoon:)

For the second time, I made it to Police Station for inquiring about the person.

"Did he tell you something?" I asked the investigator, just to get his head shook. I gritted teeth not at him, but at that son of bitch.

"Take me to him," I said while fixing my suit.

He nodded and made the way to him.

"Here sir," he said and unlocked the door of his cell.

"Surprise," I said, clapping loudly to make him look in my direction.

"Oh," he let out this sound with some giggles, I didn't get shocked by his actions because today I had something suspicious for him.

"For last time, I would say think before losing someone you love, alright. So tell me his/her name," I said and pulled his hair in a tight grip.

"What do you mean?" he asked

I took my phone from my pocket and played the video in front of him, which instantly made him cry without tears, without sound as his regret could be seen on his face.

*FLASHBACK*

"Sir, here," the assistant knocked on the door, before handling his phone which made me smirk internally.

"Good job, get the car, I'm coming out in five minutes," I said and he left the cabin.

"What happened? You seem in good mood?" a question raised by familiar voice to my ears, of course, my wife asked while entering into my cabin.

I chuckled.

"Come here," I said.

She did and stood in front, our sights connected.

"Tell me?"

"I came to know about something that would help me, knowing that person's name," I pointed indirectly in her direction, which resulted in, her tilted head with raised eyebrows.

I cupped her cheeks and bought her face near to mine.

"I won't mind anything before saving my sister and you, so today I gonna torture him by just pretending that I'm hurting his loved one, and I know what you gonna say now, I promise I won't hurt anybody except him. I promise," she smiled at my words and nodded.

"Okay, I gotta go," I said and ran towards the exit, leaving a quick peck on her forehead which reddened her cheeks instantly.

She nodded.

After 30 minutes, Ji-Soo knocked on the door, while I stood with hands in my pocket.

Then after knocking for some seconds, the door revealed a woman with a newborn in her arms.

"Who?" she said

I cleared my throat and took off the goggles quickly, not wanting to scare her.

"I'm sorry, but your husband tried to harass my sister days ago," I said in a tone of calm, as much as I could I sounded polite.

She widened by my words and backed off from her spot.

I stopped her by my hand on her shoulder, avoiding any fall.

"I won't harm you I promise, just I want you to put an act for us, for my sister. I swear to the person I love," I said and a sudden click of Ari occurred into the head which twitched my lips upwards.

"no, I'm sorry I won't ask for any explanation even if you kill my husband but I don't want this to happen," she said and put the baby to sleep, as the baby was sleeping in her arms too before.

And then she poured some water for herself, might be she was worried if I would harm, as some droplets of sweat formed on her forehead.

"You may leave," she said, pointing at the entrance.

"See, if you think I will harm then you can put me into the police custody I won't mind but please help me, I please," I said out in a pleading tone.

She kept quiet for a moment, peeking at her baby with a loving expression.

"Believe me I won't do anything wrong with you," I repeated to gain her trust.

"What do I have to do?" she asked.

My soul became happy, if I harmed her even a little then I wouldn't forgive myself, because I didn't approach her to hurt but to threaten him.

And the next thing was that she was tied with rope around her body, messy hair and some fake tears to show that she was hurt and Ji-Soo holding that baby and pointed a gun at that, that gun was a toy gun but seemed real.

"Okay, now I will record in my phone," I said and she started screaming for her baby, while her baby cries added cherry on the top, as he woke up the sound of screaming.

"Done," I said while recording the scene and loosened her from the grip of ropes and gave her, her baby in arms.

"Thank you so much," I mumbled, bowing my head with respect.

She nodded and we left the place.

*End of flashback*

"I would kill you bastard, don't harm them," he said and attempted to attack me, but the policeman hurried to put the handcuffed around his wrist.

I chuckled

"Will you tell me or should I order my assistant to pull the trigger," I said, holding the smirk on my face.

For a while, he got lost in his thoughts, but then came back to his senses and his face held a serious expression on the face.

"Alright, I will tell you but promise me that you would leave my wife and baby," he said, begging for their life.

"Yeah, if you tell," I added.

"Your mother asked me to do that, she offered me a huge amount of money so I couldn't deny her," my heart tightened, my whole world met an end, this couldn't be true, no matter what happen she wouldn't risk her daughter's life.

I blinked and inhaled some air,

"Are you telling me the truth?"

"Why would I risk my loved one lives for your mother who even didn't care for her daughter," he added the fact.

Yeah, she never cared if she was her daughter.

"See, if this turns out false then I would kill

you without any warning," I said and yanked him on the floor.

"Sir, what should we do of him?" the man asked. And left in hurry.

"Keep him until I ask you to realise him," I said.

"Thank God," I said and inhaled a long sigh after leaving the office with putting up some excuses to Seo.

And drove off towards the police station, just to make him keep his mouth shut, no matter how much money he needed, I would give him but I wouldn't let him open his mouth in front of Ji-Hoon.

I reached the police station and asked him if I could see him or not. They nodded while identifying who I was.

But as I turned a similar figure got into my sights, but before he could see me, I covered myself with some paper lying on the table of that policeman.

"Almost!"
