Chapter 10 - Chapter ten:The outreach

Sun Ri works on the new file and brainstorms for new ideas

She researches new developments in the field and notes down the relevant aspects for the project

She stumbles upon the article "POWER COUPLE" with photos of Han sun woo and Hee jin

She stares at it

Meanwhile Kim shows the article to Joo won

Kim:"They have been trying to garner as much limelight as they can"

Joo won:"Good for us,when we shall take over the company,the focus shall be multiplied by these acts of their"

Meanwhile, Sun Ri again sees the same nightmare, stabs the old man with blood in her hands, she trembles and wakes up to her phone ringing

Joo won calling

Sun Ri takes a deep breath in

"Hello sir"

Joo won notices quavering voice and worriedly asks

"Are you ok"?

Sun Ri gets amazed at the question, someone asking her is she alright, right after that deadly nightmare... sounded very comforting and soothing to her

Sun Ri:"yes sir"

Kim looks at Joo won astonished.. he has never seen him ask someone in such a caring and concerned tone

Joo won looks at Kim

(clears his throat)

"Ms Sun Ri, I have gone through the mails sent by you yesterday, I want to meet you now"

sun Ri is puzzled: "sir? "

Joo won:"I want to meet and discuss immediately "

Sun Ri:"Right now, I am at home"

Joo won quickly responds :"ok I will see you there"

Joo won hung up the phone

Sun Ri:"hello, hello"(realises he has already hung up)

Joo won:"Kim, do you know where Ms Sun Ri lives? "

Kim:"pardon sir"?

Joo won utters slowly:"do you know where Ms Sun Ri lives?"

Kim:"yes sir"

Joo won:"Good, let us go"

Kim is surprised with the plan :"sir but we have some other meetings scheduled"

Joo won:"just postpone it to afternoon, she is important!"

Kim:"sir? "

Joo won:"I mean she is on an important work, I need to monitor and discuss"

Kim :"ok sir"

They head towards her home in the car

Back at her home, Sun Ri still reels under shock

She realises her home is a complete mess

Sun Ri:"oh no, this man's sudden surprises?? no no shocks.. what should I do"

"she cleans up the floor, arranges things in order. she collects all the papers lying on the floor(her drafts), she changes the curtains, sofa covers, pillows"

she runs around the home doing these chores

After getting exhausted, she sits on the couch

she suddenly realises

"oh my god, I did not even brush my teeth. I have to rush.."

she hears door bell ringing

she finds herself in a dilemma whether to open the door or fresh up

She anxiously asks herself

"what to do?"

"what to do?"

door bell keeps ringing

"oh no"

she goes straight to the door and opens it

As soon as she opens it, she covers her face with her hair

"welcome Mr Joo won"

"welcome Mr Kim"

Joo won tries to look at her face, she asks them to come inside through hand gestures

Joo won and Kim follows her

Joo won looks around ..

Kim follows him

Sun Ri:"Please be seated"

Joo won sits on the sofa but yells and gets up

A sharp hair pinon the sofa pricks his bum

Joo won:"Ehhh"

Kim:"what happened sir"?

Sun Ri looks at the hair pin and removes it

Joo won looks at her

Sun Ri:"Sorry sir"

Joo won:"are you okay?"

Sun ri:"Pardon"

Joo won:"I mean you do not look your usual self"

Sun Ri:"Sorry sir,i just woke up and me and my home is a mess.really sorry sir"

As Sun Ri speaks he observes her hair slowly uncovering her face

Joo won(in his mind):"Her pretty eyes,the way she speaks,her cheeks,how can someone look so pretty straight after waking up from bed....she is something else...I have seen so many pretty women but the charm of this woman is something else"

As he thinks he gets deeply immersed in thoughts...

Sun Ri makes sure the couch is clean this time,cushion covers are placed in position and asks Joo won to sit

He stands still staring at her

Kim and Sun Ri looks at him

Kim looks at Joo won who is lost in his thoughts and calls:"Sir,sir"

Joo won comes back from his imaginary world:"yeah,yee"

He looks at Kim and Sun Ri

Joo won:"One should keep one's home clean and tidy.I expect my employees to be so in their personal and professional lives"

Kim:"yes sir"

SunRri:"Sorry sir,i will make sure next time you do not have any complaints"

Kim:"You need not worry Ms.Sun Ri about next time,why would Mr.CEO visit homes of employees like us everytime..this is an exception"

Sun Ri gives a sigh of relief and nods

Joo won:"Why,what makes you come to that conclusion?I shall visit next time,many times"

Kim:"pardon?"

Joo won:"I mean I may visit her place,your place ,any of my employees' place to make sure they are fine,safe,doing well..why don't you want me to do that?'

Kim:"No sir,i don't mean it"

Joo won:"What?"

Kim:" I mean Yes sir"

Joo won looks at Sun Ri:"Ms.Sun Ri do you intend to attend meeting with me like this"

Sun Ri:"No sir,"please give me 10 minutes i shall be ready"

As she is about to proceed to the bathroom ,she is interrupted by Joo won's words

Joo won:"By the way I'm feeling hungry"

Kim:"Sir shall I order breakfast for you"

Joo won:"I want to cook something for myself,Ms Sun Ri may i use your kitchen"

Sun ri screams:"No"

Joo won looks perplexed :"What?"

Sun Ri:"I mean sir, I do not want you to trouble yourself..please listen to Mr.Kim and order something"

Joo won(smiles):"But I feel hungry ,hungry for some home made food"

Sun Ri:"Sir I am not sure whether I have enough groceries to make CEO's breakfast"

Joo won:"Do not worry,Mr.Kim will get that,you just go and fresh up"

Sun Ri(in her mind):"This guy never listens,never ever,what a stubborn creature created by God....ohhhhhh"

She looks at Kim

Kim whispers:"True,very true"

Sun Ri looks shocked

Joo won:"Go and fresh up soon"

Sun Ri:"Ok " and runs towards her bedroom

Joo won smiles looking at the way she runs

Kim stares at him

Joo won(clears his throat):"Kim let us get to work"

Joo won opens the refrigerator

he finds literally nothing except water bottles ,some vegetables

He examines the vegetables":"oh she might have brought these many days ago,there are no fruits ,milk, I do not know how this lady is survived"

He finds a packet of noodles

Joo won:"Finally, I found something"

Joo won looks at Kim and says

"I will text you the list of groceries,get them immediately"

Kim says:"Yes sir"

As Kim walks slowly

Joo won orders :"Run"

Kim trembles and runs towards the door

Kim reaches the grocery store and quickly reads the text sent by Joo won

Messages keep popping up and the list increases

Kim:"Does he intend to settle down at Ms.Sun Ri's place,why is he sending me such a huge list"

Kim quickly picks up the groceries and moves towards Sun Ri's place

Meanwhile,Joo won enters Sun Ri's kitchen.

He remembers Sun Ri's words it is a toal mess

Joo won:"yeah it is a total mess"

examines the kitchen and tells to himself

"Joo won,you can do this,you have cleaned up many messy things this is nothing"

Smiles

Clean up the dishes,places the containers in the racks

Arranges everything in order

Meanwhile,Kim enters with all the groceries

Joo won:"You are here..good"

Joo won looks at the groceries and tallies it with the message he sent to Kim

Kim(thinks):"Ah,he is so professional even when it comes to such trivial things"

Joo won:"Good job but you missed two articles"

Kim:"Sorry sir,they were out of stock, I will make sure to arrange it soon"

Joo won:"Ok,join me for making the breakfast"

Both put up aprons and enter the kitchen as warriors

Joo won gets involved in cooking

Kim dutifully assists him

Joo won asks Kim to cut the vegetables

While Kim does the job,he lits up the stove and starts cooking

Kim looks at him and thinks :"It's been a while since I saw him doing something else than work or get angry, I do not know why this change but hope it turns out to be good for him"

Joo won:"Kim do not stare at me and get the job done soon"

Kim:"Sorry sir" and gets back to work

After finishing up the cooking,Joo won garnishes it in a elegant way and says"hope she likes it"

Kim:"She would definitely like it"

Joo won in an angry tone:"What"

Kim:"Nothing,I mean you garnished it well,i really liked it "

Joo won smiles

Joo won goes to make coffee and gets it ready

He asks Kim to arrange breakfast on the table

Joo won looks at it and says:"Kim I do not like the order,change the direction of these dishes"

Kim(thinks):"who on earth cares about direction of dishes on a table..it must be you,only you"

Sun Ri comes

Joo won looks at her

Sun Ri:"Sorry for the trouble, I could not make anything for you"

Joo won:"Stop talking and start eating"

Sun Ri sits to eat and is impressed with the dishes and arrangement on table,smiles

Kim:"Did you like the garnishing"

Sun Ri:"Yeah,it looks like a professional chef has made it"

Joo won(blushes)

Kim looks at him

Kim to sun ri:"It tastes even greater than the garnish,try it"

Sun ri while tasting it:"It is so delicious"

Joo won looks happy and enjoys the breakfast

While Kim is happy to see Joo won relaxed and enjoying meal peacefully

While At CROMA group

Hee jin to her Public relations team

"so what do you think would be the impact of our latest interview,what is the feedback"

Public relations head:"Madam,the interview was good and it has a general positive feed back however"

He takes a pause

Hee jin:"However,what?'

Public relations head:"However,Mr.Joo won's articles both regarding his professional claims of taking over companies and his personal life as being tauted as most eligible bachelor have garnered more response than our articles"

Hee jin is irritated:"Then why are you here,do anything but make sure we are the talk of the town..do your work properly"

Sun woo enters the cabin and over hears the conversation

Public relations head:"Good morning sir"and leaves

Sun woo:"Don't you think you should be worried about "real" issues rather than this bullshit publicity? "

Hee jin:"Bullshit.. seriously, I am the one who has build the brand of this company, look at you!!! you don't even understand it, do you"

Sun woo:"No, I don't "

Hee jin scoffs

Sun woo:" What I do understand is that we need to fix issues with our game, stop it from going obsolete, upgrade it before it's too late"

Hee jin:" Then go ahead Mr. chairman, what's stopping you from doing it? "

Hee jin looks at Sun woo and continues

" before it's too late, do you really think that jerk Joo won's claims are for real? "

Sun woo:"Don't you think you are being overconfident"

Hee jin:"I have been saying this based on facts, in have my network, none of his present gaming team member has come up with any new idea"

Sun woo:" I have heard he has hired someone confidentially"

Hee jin:"yeah I am aware of it and im on hunt, he will not escape my eyes, don't worry there is none who can beat us in this version of game"

Sun woo looks at her not able to understand whether he should believe her confidence??!!
