Chapter 17 - Bait

"That's the interesting part"

Mr Jung:Go on!

Mr So:Well after observing her for a while I confronted  her. The poor thing got raped by Mr Hei and he tried to get her killed.She doesn't remember much but she  says she woke up days later at  some lady's house.This lady told her that some guy called Mr X  helped her that's how she survived.

Mr Jung:(intrigued)  Sounds like something from a movie.

Mr So:I know..

Mr Jung :(confused) So who was the girl they found in the city

Mr So:Some other girl who was already dead.

Mr Jung :Awe yeah I remember her face was unrecognizable.

Mr So:Yes,I guess whoever this Mr X is knew what he was doing.

Mr Jung: Now I feel bad for her

Mr So:(teasingly) Even though she held a gun to your head

Mr Jung:Yes I don't hold grudges

Mr So:Great,I felt that it was fate that brought Hae  Won to me and i opened  up about my own encounter with Mr Lee to her.She was already planning her revenge but she was lacking one thing,a sponsor. So i thought it was time i also got some justice for myself.Thats when we made the plan.

Mr Jung: I'm still not aware of the full  plan.

Mr So:Well...

Present time

Hae Won: I'm sure he filled you in

Mr Jung: Yes he did

Hae Won: And you're okay with it

Mr Jung: Yes

Hae Won :Glad to have you on our team

Mr Jung: Glad to be in it.

A month later

At the Lee's residency

Mr Lee:I think it's time you boys grew you own wings and flew out of the nest

Hyun Bin: Are you finally  kicking me out.

Mr Lee:No you brat

Hyun Bin: You just love insulting me don't you

Mr Lee: You just like pushing my buttons don't you

Mrs Lee:Honey

Mr Lee: (annoyed) Why can't he be like Sung-jin,look he's just quietly having his breakfast.

Sung-jin:I don't like getting involved in family matters

Hyun Bin:(chuckles)  You're already involved

Mr Lee:I might not like this brat but he's right, you're more like a son to me than he'll ever be

Mrs Lee:Honey!

Hyun Bin: Don't worry mom it doesn't phase me anymore

Mr Lee:Anyway I was saying there's this new company, everyone is saying it's going to  be big and you know me I like a good deal when I see one.There are some shares up for grabs but everyone is aiming at them so it might a bit of a challenge .

Hyun Bin: And where do we fit in,(teasingly) do you want us to kill the competition for you.

Mr Lee :No,this is your chance to show me that you boys are capable of working on your own.If you manage to get these shares I'll put them in your name

Hyun Bin :Whose name to be exact

Mr Lee:Whoever wins

Hyun Bin: So it's a competition afterall

Mr Lee: May the best man win

Sung-jin:I'll be going now

He just storms out and Hyun Bin follows him out.

Mrs Lee: Did you have to do that

Mr Lee: Yes the boy needs to grow a spine,I want to see him fight for something for the first time in his life.If you didn't spoil him he'd be half the man Sung-jin is.

Mrs Lee :Why do you always compare him to Sung-jin.Hyun Bin is your son and you should be grateful because he's an amazing kid.

She storms out

Mr Lee:(chuckles) Amazing kid my foot

MEANWHILE ...Hyun Bin follows Sung-jin  to the car.

Hyun Bin: You must be happy about this

Sung-jin:I'm not

Hyun Bin: You don't have to act with me.I know you're already going to do research on the company

Sung-jin: You know me so well,maybe you should do the same. Okay... kid

He drives off leaving Hyun Bin pissed 

Hyun Bin:Let the games begin

It doesn't take them long to gather the information they need and in no time they arrive at the company. Hyun Bin arrives as the elevator door is about to close and Sung-jin just smirks as he doesn't hold it for him

Hyun Bin impatiently waits for the elevator before running up the stairs. By the time he arrives at the floor he's out of breath but happy as Sung-jin hasn't gone in

Receptionist :You should both take your seats ,the Chairman is  in an important meeting

They do as told

Hyun Bin :Did you really have to do that

Sung-jin :You should thank me for the free  warm up

Hyun Bin :(sarcastic) THANK YOU

They sit for hours then finally the door of the office opens and Mr Jung exits  .

He greet the boys

Sung-jin: (surprised) What brings you here

Mr Jung: (smirking) Just taking care of some business

Hyun Bin:I see you heard about the shares too

Mr Jung: (chuckles) Every businessman in Korea knows about them son.

He suddenly recieves a call and bids them farewell.

Sung-jin :Can I go in now

Receptionist: Wait  a minute

As she's calling inside the office a lady exits stunning the boys.

Receptionist :Ahh Chairman Park I was just about to call you .These two gentlemen have been waiting for you  for the last 4 hrs.

Hae Won: Did you check the time

She quickly checks her watch

Receptionist: Omo I'm sorry ma'am

Hae Won: You should be apologizing to them. I'm going home now

She gets in the elevator with her bodyguards

Hyun Bin: What just happened

Receptionist: I'm sorry but she goes home at exactly 6pm.

Sung-jin: She's the chairman ?

Receptionist: The chairman's daughter.

Hyun Bin :Does the chairman ever come here

Receptionist :No he's in America, she's the boss around here.

Sung-jin:Can I make an appointment for tomorrow then

Receptionist :Sorry it's all booked

Sung-jin:Okay then (in his head) 6pm it is.

He heads off leaving Hyun Bin with the receptionist

Hyun Bin: (smirking) What's your name

Receptionist: Summer

Hyun Bin:(flirty) What a pretty name.

Receptionist:(blushing) Thank you

Hyun Bin: (leaning in)Would you like to have dinner with me....Summer ?

Receptionist: (shy)I couldn't

Hyun Bin: Pretty please

Receptionist: Okay then .

Hyun Bin: Great I'll be waiting downstairs.

MEANWHILE...in her car

Hae Won :(smirking )They took the bait.
