Chapter 9: Incoming Trouble

“Good morning sir”

“Welcome sir”

Dan-Han responded with a simple nod to all the greetings that echoed in the PK corporation building as he made his way to the elevator, looking neat and handsome in his perfectly tailored black suit. His tux was exquisitely cut and a perfect match for his suave manners. No one could tell that this icily boss had spent a night at the hospital, with no sleep at all.

.....

“President Lee”

Dan-Han paused on his steps when he heard someone call him as he stepped out of the elevator.

“Good morning president Lee, I was heading to your office.” Director Hye greeted with a smile, as she walked closer.

“Morning” He replied as he continued walking to his office with her closely following behind. ????????????????????????????. ᴄ????m

“How can I be of help to you, Director Hye?” He asked arriving at the door of his office.

“There’s been an issue with the centenary city site in City-A” She said as she walked behind him into his office.

“And what’s the problem?” He asked fixing his gaze on her as he took his seat across his office table.

“Sir I got this letter from the state government, immediately asking us to stop work at the site” She said dropping a file on his desk.

He quickly glanced through the file and dropped it back on the desk.

“And why are you bringing this to me?” He asked coldly. His eyes gazing icicles at her.

“Be-cause, I thought...” she stuttered with trepidation.

“Because you thought you get paid to only bring problems to my desk and not solutions?” He asked calmly, too calmly.

“I’m-sorry sir, I’ll see to it right away” she quickly said picking up the file from his desk.

“You’d better” Dan-Han appreciated it when people were being capable and efficient. He’d never allow anyone to slack behind and not be a solution giver. This was how he had trained himself and he was going to infuse that into every of his employee.

He refused to bother himself with the problem that had been presented before him, as he had a series meeting to prepare for, this has become a norm in his life. He had a lot on his shoulders already and he expected little problems such as this could be properly managed with him being bothered.

Dan-Han plopped himself on his seat tiredly as he kneaded his temples.

It has been a hectic day. He had slept at the hospital, rushed home to get ready for work and has been attending to meetings all day and there were still more to go. It was the busiet quarter of the year, and hundreds of projects are underway. He picked up the intercom and called his secretary.

“A cup of coffee” He said before hanging up.

A frown formed on his face when he heard his phone ringing, he just needed few minutes of rest before his next meeting started.

A sigh escaped him, when he saw who was calling.

“Hello”

“Hey buddy, why do you sound so dull?” In-Ha asked over the phone.

Kang In-ha was one Dan-Han’s close friend since college, but has been living abroad for the past few years. In-Ha is what you call ‘the life of every party’ and a ‘typical play boy’. Dan-Han’s two friends; In-Ha and Jae-Hyun were the only people who could tolerate his icily and aloof nature without being spooked..at least they pretend not to.

“In-Ha I hope you didn’t call just to play around, cause I’m tired” He didn’t have the time or strength for his In-Ha’s antics.

“No, not at all. I wanted to inform you, I will be coming over next week” In-ha told him.

“Why?” He asked wondering why In-Ha was returning suddenly. It was common knowledge that he never liked coming home.

“You don’t want me to come? Are you cheating on me or have you found a new best friend?” He teased.

“Sir your coffee” Secretary Chang-Wok said dropping the hot cup of coffee on Dan-Han’s table.

Dan-Han raised his brows to look at him questioningly, when he saw him still standing there and not leaving like he was supposed to.

“Sir, your meeting wil...” He started, but was interrupted by Dan-Han motioning his fingers gesturing for him to leave.

“I’m busy, tell me what you want” He curtly said when he returned his attention back to his call. He knew In-Ha didn’t just call him to inform him of his returning home.

“Why do you think I want something from you? haha... anyway you know me the best. I need you to pick me from the airport, you know I can’t call home.” In-Ha replied.

“Hmm. Staying at my place?” Dan-Han asked even when he already the answer to that.

“Oh my God! Dan-Han, you are just too smart. I guess I don’t have to ask anymore. Thanks in advance buddy. Hurry up for your meeting. Bye.” In-Ha said before ending the call immediately not waiting for Dan-Han’s reply. Dan-Han was as scary as hell even to him.

“Troublesome” Dan-Han muttered to himself as he stood up to leave for his meeting. In-Ha’s return was bound to bring trouble.
