Chapter 19 - caller ID

"I'm his henchman "

Hae Won: So you do everything he asks

Sung-jin: Yes

Hae Won: Good or bad

Sung-jin: Yes,(in his mind)and I have to punish myself living in this rundown place just to get rid of some of the guilt but I still wake up feeling horrible

Hae Won: Do you like your job

Sung-jin: No

Hae Won: Why don't you just quit

Sung-jin: You just don't quit.The men in my family have always worked for the men in the Lee family.

Hae Won :You can always break tradition

Sung-jin :Not in this case

Hae Won: And how come you're telling me all this.

Sung-jin:Just so you take my offer and save me the trouble of killing you.

The guards suddenly become defensive

Hae Won: Is that a threat

Sung-jin: Take it how you like

Hae Won: And why do you think I'll do business with a man like that.

Sung-jin: A man like that can make you disappear off the face of the earth and still manage to sleep at night.

Hae Won: My father is much more powerful than him

Sung-jin: (chuckles)It's not only about power or money .It's also about connections.Eitherway the offer is not bad ,if you take it quietly you won't even need to meet him.I'll be handling everything for him .

Hae Won: (chuckles) How are you any better?

Sung-jin: I'm not any better, but not any worse either.

Hae Won: You're really straight forward

Sung-jin: Yes

Hae Won: Well....

Her phone suddenly rings

Hae Won :Heyy...im coming soon.... I already ate....Ramen and beer....I know , I'm on my way now .

She ends the call

Sung-jin: Boyfriend wants you home already?

Hae Won: My mom actually,...I told you I should be home by 6 .She made a proper meal for us boys let's go

Sung-jin: Think about my proposal

Hae Won: No need to,I already made up my mind. Come by my office tomorrow to sign the contract .

Sung-jin:(meh)  Okay....ma'am .

Hae Won and her guards leave

Sung-jin: What game are you playing... "Park Yeona "

Hae Won and the guards arrive home

Miss Park: You're finally  here ,I've been waiting for you for ages.Do you know how scary it is being alone in a big house .

Hae Won: I'm sorry we took too long

Miss Park: Anyway we need to talk

Hae Won: Can we talk tomorrow I need to nap now.

She goes off to her room leaving Miss Park with the guards

Miss Park: You can eat I already prepared the meal anyway just clean up when you're done

Guard 2:(excited) Okay ma'am.

She follows Hae Won to her room

Miss Park: We seriously need to talk

Hae Won: What is it?

Miss Park: Which job did you get that can give you a house like this?

Hae Won: I told, I'm handling the finances of an international company, it pays much more than the  local ones.

Miss Park: But still, now you even have guards.

Hae Won: They are not guards ,(sarcastic) they are just friends who can accompany me anywhere just for the fun of it

Miss Park: I'm serious

Hae Won: I know but you worry too much .Yes I have bodyguards  but they are just for show, you know I can take care of myself

Miss Park: So you are in trouble ?

Hae Won: I'm not ,my boss just worries alot that's all.To be honest they  are just here to spy on me and  make sure I'm not stealing from the company like that guy from my previous job did.

Miss Park: I see..,but it's all a little too much.

Hae Won: It's the little price we have to pay to live a life like this.Okay.

Miss Park: Okay....

Suddenly her phone starts to ring but she's deep in thought and doesn't hear it.

Hae Won: Your phone is ringing

Miss Park: Huh

Hae Won: (looking at the screen)Your phone ...

As soon as Miss Park sees the caller ID she hangs up.

Hae Won: Who is it?

Miss Park: (nervous) No-one,good night.

Miss Park goes to her room .Hae Won immediately turns on the surveillance footage from Miss Park's room

Hae Won: If you didn't lie to me I wouldn't have to do these things.

She watches as Miss Park paces about the room

Miss Park: What's is it now....what does he want ....He said he's cutting us off...Did she mess up again?....What now what now...

The phone rings again and she hesitates but eventually answers

Miss Park: Hello

Mr X:This is my last warning .

He hangs up the phone

Miss Park: Hello...hello..He hung up on me..that punk....Aish  what to do...What's going on...Does he really see everything...Hae Won must've done something again I'll have to find out

Hae Won: Awe you won't find anything "mom".

The following day Sung-jin goes to sign the contract but am unexpected person shows up

Hae Won: You can't just barge into my office

Hyun Bin: Maybe you shouldn't have lied to me yesterday

Hae Won: I did not lie,I only said it was confidential

Sung-jin: The least you can do is lose with grace.

Hyun Bin: Look whose talking

Sung-jin: Come on ,just leave before you embarrass yourself  further.

Hyun Bin: Don't you worry about my image ,you must know by now I don't really care

Hae Won: Eitherway you have no right to be here

Hyun Bin: Okay then Miss Park....Yeona

Sung-jin: Now leave

Hyun Bin :I'm on my way....Congrats

Sung-jin: I would say thank you if that was genuine but we all know that's not true.

Hyun Bin:Yes, it's not .Sue me.

He just exits the office  acting pissed and immediately smiles as the elevator doors close.

Hyun Bin: I knew it

As the elevator doors open downstairs there's a woman waiting to get on and when she sees Hyun Bin she just  starts gasping for air even eventually faints.
