Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 196: Girlfriend Or Fiancee?

Hei-Ran was surprised when they arrived at where was supposed to be their second stop as per what Jinhai had said. She wondered how many places they were supposed to go to tonight. She looked at Jinhai who had turned to open the door for her. He was behaving like a gentleman recently. What was wrong with him? Did he hit his head somewhere? Where had the crazy Jinhai gone to? She asked herself.

She placed her hand in Jinhai’s hand as helped her out of the car. He still had that look in his eyes as he kept looking at her lovingly.

Wait, lovingly?

‘Hei-Ran you’re way over your head, Jinhai would never look at you lovingly. Not you, not anyone’ She chided herself.

Jinhai flashed a smile which she had to admit was the most radiating smile she had ever seen on him. As a matter of fact she had never seen him smile except the day when he had come to her house, and he had smiled at her mother, but that was nothing compared to this.

“Come on let’s go” He said.

Left with no choice Hei-Ran placed her hand around his arm as they made their way to the entrance of the hotel. Jinhai had mentioned asking for her opinion on buying something, but seeing the place she wondered what they were supposed to buy at a hotel with her dressed like this.

.....

Her hold on Jinhai’s arm tightened when she saw the reporters standing in front of the hall with their sea of cameras. Jinhai noticed how her grip on his hand had tightened and how she had lowered her head, and he couldn’t help but smile.

‘You’re not getting away from me now Su Hei-Ran’ He said in his heart.

“Look it’s CEO Song Jinhai?” One of the reporters chirped the moment he saw him coming, and immediately the others turned to look at him with the beautiful lady in his embrace.

“It’s him and he’s with a lady!”

The moment they arrived where the reporters were standing, clicks of cameras and flashes of light came from all around them. Hei-Ran couldn’t help but lower her head more. She wasn’t used to things like this and it was making her conscious.

“Relax,” Jinhai said placing his hand on hers.

“CEO Song it’s nice to see you here. You’ve never been seen at an auction before, why the change?” One of the reporters asked. Song Jinhai was one the youngest CEO who had made a good name for himself and the company. He had made it to the list of top fifty successful men in the country, and so he was quite popular except that he barely made an appearance and even when he did he appeared alone. He was far better than the Demon king who ruled the business sector. That one had never made an appearance. Never!

‘Auction? Was that the reason they were here?’ Hei-Ran asked herself as glanced at Jinhai.

“Because something caught my interest” He replied smilingly.

“Is that something ‘The starry seas'” Another reporter asked. This was one of the biggest auction that has been held and the centrepiece today was the diamond bracelet that was rumoured to have been missing for centuries but has recently been found. It was said to have some fascinating history.

Jinhai shrugging his shoulders replied, “We can never know”

“And whose the gorgeous lady by your side?” Another reporter asked.

Jinhai turned to look at the lady standing beside who looked like she could disappear any moment from now.

“Is she your girlfriend?”

“Your fiancee?” Some impatient reporters asked.

Hei-Ran could feel her heart hammer behind her chest. She glanced at Jinhai from the corner of her eyes, as she waited for him to say something tactical that would avoid answering their questions. But she almost dropped down on the spot when she heard Jinhai’s reply,

“She’s my fiancee”

.....

Dan-Han couldn’t contain his happiness all day, the smile on his face was broad enough to shame the sun. Secretary Chang-wok was equally surprised to see him this way. He didn’t know why the boss has been smiling all day but it had sort of affected him too. They had worked late into the night because Dan-Han was supposed to travel by morning.

He looked at his boss with a quizzical gaze as he followed him behind to the development department. He had a feeling something had happened between him and the little miss, this was the only explanation for his awkward behaviour. He had gone for lunch with his usual stoic look, but he had returned looking all giddy and excited. He had expected him to scold for not handling the issue well with Miss Mi-Ok but he had not done that. He was more surprised when he noticed the blush on his boss’ the moment they walked into Eun-sun’s office.

What was happening? First, the boss was smiling and now he was blushing? What in the name of all things impossible happened!!

Eun-sun was swivelling on her seat, her eyes gaze on the ceiling a smile was also etched on her face, as she thought about what happened at lunch.

“I should be the asking you that Mr Lee” She had said to him.

Dan-Han rubbed her cheek with the back of her thumb, “I have been working hard to make you fall for me, but you little girl you possess me without even trying” He said with a serious tone. Eun-sun felt her cheek heat up when he said that. She didn’t know he felt that way. That he felt possessed by her.

“You better be thinking about me,” Dan-Han said cutting into her thoughts. Eun-sun’s smile broadened when she heard him, her heart began to beat hard and fast.

She swivelled the chair around so she could face him, and there he was standing in front of her looking handsome and godly. His lips curved upwards as he stared back at her.

“So what if I’m not thinking about you?” She asked daringly.

Dan-Han lips curled upward as he bent down to her level, his face looming over her making Eun-sun gulp as he breath fanned her face, “Then I’ll make you” He said as he leaned in to place a peck on her lips.

“You’ve opened my eyes to pleasure and now I can’t get enough of it,” He said as he kissed her lip again. Eun-sun felt giddy when he did that, her heart was beating so loud that it was drumming into her ears.

“Mr Lee-” She called softly to stop him. Wasn’t he overdoing it? She had only confessed her feelings today and he was already taking advantage of her.

Dan-Han stopped and raised a brow at her and asked, “What?”

She looked at him briefly before her eyes darted away from his face. There was something she had recently discovered from his eyes. It was captivating. She looked away and shook her head, indicating she had nothing to say.

“Then let me, because you’ve tortured me enough”
