Chapter 47 - Fraud

"You're not deaf are you?" Asked Dan-Han in a cold and stern tone.

'What?? Was that suppose to be an insult?' Eun-Sun shot her eyes up to him, but the dark and dangerous glint in his eyes made her shudder and she caved back.

"My name is Eun-Sun and I'm the housekeeper" Eun-Sun said in a low tone, avoiding his gaze.

Of course Dan-Han already knew that. He had asked for her details from the cleaning agency the night he met her at his door. He just wanted to hear her say it.

"So what kind of housekeeper mops around the house when she's supposed to be working. You're not looking for somesomething to steal are you?" Dan-Han cocked a brow at her.

Eun-Sun narrowed her eyes as she glared at him. 'What did he just say? She, a thief?'

Eun-Sun balled her hand in to a fist, as she took one step closer to the cold looking man. He had a dark and intimidating aura around him, one that could make one whimp and shudder. Eun-Sun could feel it, but she didn't care. This man has just called her a thief - okay not directly but he insinuated it.

Standing one step closer to him, Dan-Han towered over her, but she stood firm and raised her gaze to him.

"With all due respect sir, you can't just come and into someone's house and insult their staff. Are you my boss? Don't you ever call me a thief. Cause I'm not one!" Eun-Sun spoke in an acid tone.

'What's wrong with him? What right does he have to say that?' Eun-Sun continued to eye him evilly. If looks could kill, Dan-Han would be dead by now.

Dan-Han was amused by her outburst, and how daring she was.

'If he was her boss? How amusing?'

The fire burning in her eyes was enough to torch the house down, him included.

His face was stoic as ever, not revealing even the tiniest bit of expression. With his eyes darkened he took one step closer to her. Looking down at her like she was some petite pet he could squash in his hand.

"It seems like you're forgetting something" He said smoothly.

"Something like what?" Eun-Sun asked defiantly, her gaze matching his. If he thought he was going to scare her or tame her with his eyes then he has something else coming. If he could stare, then she could too.

"You seem to have forgotten that you still owe me" Dan-Han pulled his Ace card on her. He has been waiting to say that, since she has tried evading him.

Eun-Sun's blood ran cold the moment those words fell out of Dan-Han's lips. His words rendered her speechless, she couldn't find a word to refute him. She was dazed, but her eyes were still fixed on him.

That was true. Indeed she was indebted to him, but that doesn't give him a right to insult her. 

Dan-Han smiled to himself when he saw her reaction, it was epic. He has been anticipating this very moment, since he discovered she was his housekeeper.

'Always trying to run huh? Let me see you try'

"I thought as much." Dan-Han said in a mocking tone. "Next time before you open your mouth to say something, make sure you're debt free" He added as he stared at her. He waited for few more minutes waiting for her to say something in return, but she remained mute. It seems she has finally given up.

'What a sharp tongue and a fierce temper she has'

Being scolded was something Dan-Han wasn't used to. As a matter of fact, no man born of a woman has ever done that, save his father. But this small woman has done that twice, and for some reason he couldn't do anything to her, rather he found it quite amusing.

'Something must be wrong with me' Dan-Han told himself as he turned to leave.

"Wait!" Came Eun-Sun's voice. Seems like she has snapped back to herself. Dan-Han paused and turned to face her.

With her eyes searching his, she asked, "How much do I owe you?"

"Two hundred thousand"

"Pesos??" Eun-Sun asked in shock.

"Dollars!" Dan-Han replied curtly.

"What?" Eun-Sun's eyes blinked rapidly. She couldn't believe what she just heard. He was joking right? $200,000 for a hospital bill? What was he? A thief?

"That's impossible!" Eun-Sun declared.

"Says who?" Dan-Han raised a brow.

"Says me and every insane person in the world" Her voice was sharp and strong.

"You're trying to scam me aren't you?" She asked accusingly, folding her arms across her chest. A scoff escaped Dan-Han as he observed her.

"So what if I am?" He replied pointedly. Eun-Sun's jaws dropped as she gazed at him in stupefaction.

This man is a shameless fraud!

"You can't be serious?" Eun-Sun managed to say after getting her self back.

"Well try me" Dan-Han replied, as he turned around to leave. As much as he was enjoying this little banter with miss fiesty, he still had a company to run, well make that companies. Because, PK corps was not just a real estate business, it had thousands of subsidiaries scattered all over the world. They had their root in different business sectors ranging from hotels, restaurant, automobile, IT, ectera. With millions of lives resting on his shoulder, he didn't have the luxury of time to entertain this little tigress.

Eun-Sun rushed to block his path, before he could get to the door.

"How do you expect me to pay that sum of money, especially one I didn't even owe?" Eun-Sun questioned.

"Are you sure about that? I still have the note your left behind. But if you want to deny it, we could go to court, let's see what happens then. And oh, I think it's best you know my interest rate counts at 100$ per day. So you better hurry up that payment. It shouldn't be said that I'm a petty man, because I know I'm a benevolent man" He said before walking out of the house, leaving a completely stunned Eun-Sun.

'100$ per day?? This was robbery!'

"Benevolent my ass" Eun-Sun yelled.
