"Hope the work isn't too stressful?" Eun asked Min Ju, and she smiled. "Of course not. I'm loving every bit of it" she said and he stared at her in admiration.
He didn't know the president's daughter is this beautiful, and nice too. "Is there something on my face?" Min Ju asked innocently, as his gaze was fixated on her for a while.
He blinked, coming back to his senses. "Nothing is on your face. Don't mind me." he said and she nodded slowly.
"Carry on" he added and left immediately.
"Why did he stare at me like that" she thought, before continuing her work.

"Mum, can you believe Min Ju has gotten herself a job in dad's company?" Ji Ho scoffed.
"What! Why?" Myung Hee asked. Seung-ho doesn't like allowing his family mix up with his business, then why did he allow her work there?
"So, what did you do?"
"I begged dad to give me a job also. Min Ju has been acting strange, I don't know what she's up to. I need to keep an eye on her" She answered.
"Good. Don't let her off your sight." Myung Hee agreed, then Ji Ho's phone rang.
"Hey babe" she said, smiling.
"I'm on my way, is Min Ju home?" he asked frim the other end. "No, she's not. You can come over." she replied.
After dropping the call, she reeled with joy. "Mum, Tae Hoon is on his way" she said, happily. "Really?"
"Yes. Min Ju had been clinging to him ever since, but he seems free now" she said and Myung Hee nodded her head.
"I don't think she would be coming back anytime soon" she said.
"Yeah. She is such a fool" Ji Ho laughed, going to her room.

Min Ju finished the day's work and smiled in satisfaction. "That was good" she said, stretching her arms.
"You are done for the day?" Eun asked and she nodded. "Should I give you a ride?" he asked. " Ohh, no worries. I brought my car" she replied, and Eun almost hit his head with his palm. "What was he thinking? She was the president's daughter, after all.
Why won't she come with her own ride. "So stupid" he muttered. "Huh?"
"I said no problem. You did a really good job, today. I didn't know you would be able to complete the work I gave you" he said.
"Thanks. The work wasn't that much" she replied.
"Bye, Min Ju. See you tomorrow, right?" he asked. No one would be able to sack her, even if she doesn't come regularly.
"Why won't I be here, tomorrow? I'm a worker, just like everyone else" she said and he smiled.
"Bye" she said, leaving the office.

She got into her car, dropped her bag on the passenger's seat and relaxed a bit, before kicking on the ignition.
She decided to stop by a jewellery store. She needed to change her jewelries.
After parking, she entered the store, scanning shelves for the perfect pieces. Satisfied with her selections, she made payments and she headed back to her car.
As she turned a corner, she accidentally bumped into someone, sending a wristwatch crashing to the ground. The glass shattered into broken pieces.
"Oh my goodness! I'm sorry" she said, raising up her gaze to meet the person whose wristwatch she fell, and her gaze met the now familiar, cold grey eyes.
"Mr Kael?" she muttered. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to break your watch" she apologized quickly, and Kael pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"Why is it always you? You poured drink on my suit, and now you broke my watch. Why are you so clumsy?" he sighed and Min Ju arched her brows, 'poured drink on his suit? What's he talking about?'
"I didn't mean to break your watch, really." She said, that was when she noticed another man at his back, he looks insanely hot too. Why are handsome faces just popping up everywhere?
"I will pay you back. How much is it?" she asked, checking her purse, and Kael chucked.
"It's a Graff Diamond Hallucination, it's fifty five million dollars" he said and her jaw dropped.
"Fifty five million what???"
"That's the price, you can confirm from the sales manager.
So, are you paying in cash, or you are making a transfer?" he asked, a blank look on his face
Min Ju's eyes widened, where is she supposed to get the money from?
She might be a daughter of a millionaire, but fifty five million dollars is just insane!
"You don't have it? You looked so confident, when you told me you wanted to pay" he chuckled and she bit her lips.
"I'm really sorry. Yes, I don't have such amount of money, but I'll repay you one way or the other. I'll try my best" she said.
"Don't worry, you don't need to pay for it" the man at Kael's back said, and Kael glared at him.
As she stared into his face, she gulped. How could one's face be this perfect?
"Since you don't have it right now, it would be your debt. Don't forget that you owe someone called, Kael, fifty five million dollars" he said and was about to turn back, when Min Ju's voice stopped him.
"How are you this handsome?" she blurted out, before she could realize it. "What did you say, stalker?" he asked, his brows raised.
"I'm not a stalker!" she rolled her eyes.
"What did you say the other time" he asked. "Nothing. I would try to repay you somehow. Bye!" she stormed off, and he chuckled.
"She's interesting" the man with him said, and Kael chuckled, amused.
"She's a firefly, small yet everywhere"

Ji Ho walked to the company, her heels clinking, swaying her hips gingerly.
She wore a dark shade, her hair bouncing, with a sinister smile on her lips.
"Hi Dad" she said, as she got into his office. He was with two men, but she looked at them expressionlessly, her eyes focused on her dad.
"I'll be with you both in a moment" Seung-ho said, and went outside, Ji Ho followed him.
"You saw those two on seat, you could have at least greeted them. They are shareholders in this company." he said and her mouth pressed into a thin line.
"I'm sorry" she said, knowing her dad would drag the matter, if she doesn't apologize.
"So dad, when am I starting? And besides, I want to be in the same department as my big sister" she pouted.
"But your line of work is different" her dad said.
"That's what I want" she said, playing with her hands.
"Fine. Do what you want. I don't want any complaint or issue" he warned and she nodded her head.
"Eun, please come to my office right now" he said and Eun came almost immediately.
"This is Ji Ho, my second daughter. She would be joining your team" he said, and Eun looked at Ji Ho.
"Hello, Miss Ji Ho" he greeted. "Hi, can we go now?"she said impatiently. "Very well" he said and they left.
"Sis!" Ji Ho called, when she saw Min Ju, and Min Ju smirked. "The rat has been lured in. Welcome to the lion's den, baby sis" she said inwardly, the smirk not leaving her face.
