Chapter 93 - Keep Me Company

Eun-Sun blinked her eyes in confusion. Why was he asking her such a question? And why would she want to go on a trip with him?

"Mr Lee I don't understand you" She said.

Dan-Han noticed the confused look on her face.

"I'm about leaving to country A to the site, and I wanted to know how much you'd like to share your brilliant idea with the engineers" He explained.

"Really? You think it's a good idea?" Eun-Sun didn't expect Dan-Han to hold her suggestion at any regard. It was a sort of surprising. And he was taking her with her?

Eun-Sun couldn't believe it. She continued to look at Dan-Han without saying anything. She didn't know if she should be very excited about this.

"So what do you say Ms Eun-Sun?" Dan-Han asked. He frowned when he saw the hesitation on her face. Why was she even thinking about this? She should be happy and squealing excitedly but her reaction was simply normal.

This girl was really strange.

Eun-Sun had to admit that she liked the idea of visiting the site, and the thought of getting to share her idea with some brilliant mind like hers was very exciting and thrilling.

But what about her work? She knew Dan-Han owned the company and he could whatever he liked, but she still didn't like the idea. And most importantly she didn't like the idea of travel together with this man. He was a definition of everything dark and mysterious. Being alone with him was going to be dangerous. No one could guarantee her safety, it's not like he was going to murder her something, but what if he tortures her mentally just like he always does? And how long was this trip supposed to last? Hours? A day? Two day or more?

Wait why was she even thinking about this? She had told him her idea, he could as well tell the engineers what she had just said. Her presence wasn't really needed.

Dan-Han didn't like the fact that she was hesitating. Couldn't she just agree and come with him? Wasn't she about to have lunch with In-Ha just yesterday? So what was so wrong with going on a trip with him?

He turned to the intercom and buzzed his secretary.

"When are we leaving for Country A?" He asked.

"In about half an hour sir" Secretary Chang-Wok replied.

"Then Inform Ms Park office and tell them she has been assigned witga different task and won't be working from her desk today"

"What?" Eun-Sun's eyes widened.

"Yes sir"

"And call the tarmac to get the plane ready. We're leaving now" Dan-Han ordered.

"Yes sir" Secretary Chang-Wok answered, before Dan-Han disconnected the call.

"President Lee what are you doing?" Eun-Sun asked.

Dan-Han ignored her and picked up his jacket. "Getting to work and you're coming with"

"But I don't want to" She retorted, making Dan-Han halt his actions of wearing his suit jacket.

"Why?" He asked, his gaze boring at her.

"Be-cause i-" Eun-Sun found it difficult to think under his intense gaze.

Dan-Han walked around the table and stopped right beside her, making Eun-Sun jump to her feet.

"If you don't have a reason to decline then come along. And just so you know I don't take no for an answer" He said before walking to the door. He turned to look at her when she remained rooted to the ground, she was also looking at him.

They both stared at each other, their gaze holding different emotions.

"Could you tell me why you're taking me there? Because I believe you can easily relate this idea with your people over there. Are you trying to punish me again?" Eun-Sun asked.

'Wait! Back up! When has he ever punished her?' Well he didn't have time to ask her that right now.

"Are you sure you really want to know why I want you to come with?" Dan-Han asked.

"Yes sir" She replied.

Dan-Han hissed as he stared at her. This girl was too adamant. He took long strides and stopped right in front of her.

He looked her from up to down. He noticed a lock of hair trailing down her face, it was out of place and he didn't like it when something mess up with ger face, not even her hair. He raised his hand and tucked the stray of hand behind her ear making Eun-Sun hitch, her eyes firmly locked on his. This wasn't the first time he had done something like this, touching her face without her permission, and what was odd about it was the fact that she dididn't even try to stop him.

"So what if I say i just want you around me. Would you come?" He asked in a calm and gentle voice which he found himself using only when she was around.

"Huh?"

"I want you to come with me, because I want you there by my side" He told her.

"So don't say no and just come with me"

Eun-Sun brain juices instantly dried up, or so it would seem because she couldn't say anything but could only stare at him.

'Why was he saying stuffs like that to her?'

Dan-Han took Eun-Sun silent as her way of saying yes, so he picked up her bag and took her hand in his and led them out. Eun-Sun looked at her hand in his as he led her out.

She didn't understand what was going on in his head?

Secretary Chang-Wok was shocked out of his mind when Dan-Han walked out of his office with his hand holding Eun-Sun and the other carrying her bag. Eun-Sun jolted back to reality when she heard Secretary Chang-Wok's voice.

"President Lee all preparations has been made. We can go now"

"Hmm" He nodded as he headed for the elevator with Secretary Chang-Wok trailing behind.

"Mr Lee can you let go of my hand" Eun-Sun spoke. She wasn't comfortable with them holding hands.

Dan-Han stopped on his strides and briefly glanced at her small hand in his big strong palm, before letting go of her hand. For a moment there he had forgotten that he was holding her small hand. Her petite hand felt soft and now that he was no longer holding on to her his palm was craving for it.

"My bags?" She asked looking at her hand bag and lunch bag resting in his hands. Dan-Han passed her the bag before continuing on his stride to the elevator.

Dan-Han's driver was already waiting for them by the time they arrived the underground park.

Secretary Chang-Wok almost fainted when Dan-Han opened the door for Eun-Sun to step into the car. He couldn't believe it.

His boss who has always acted like a demon god and that was one of the reasons why he admired him, was now acting out of character. He couldn't believe it.

Having lunch together, holding hands, carrying her bag, and now he was holding doors for her.

Who was this woman? What has she done to their boss?

"Mr Lee what am I supposed to do when I get there?" Eun-Sun asked.

"Discuss your idea, and keep me company till we get back"

*********

Dan-Han's Mansion

In-Ha frowned when his phone started ringing, and the caller was the person he despised most in this world. He hissed as he reluntanctly picked the call.

"I heard you returned back for your mother's death anniversary" Came the voice the moment he answered the call.

"It's good to know you still keep tabs on me Chairman Kang" In-Ha replied with nonchalance.

Chairman Kang ignored his son annoying tone. "Don't you think it's time you return home?" He asked.

"The last I checked I don't have a home" In-Ha replied his father indifferently.

"What do you mean you don't have a home? Isn't this supposed to be your home?" He asked angrily as he raised his voice.

"Well I'm sorry chairman Kang if I don't see it as my home and I hope you didn't call me for this?" In-Ha asked, his voice slightly raised and his tone was very disrespectful. As a matter of fact he had no regard for this man who was supposed to be his father.

"You'd better come home or I'll ask Dan-Han to kick you out" Father kang warned coldly.

"You can always try. And if I should return, you and your slut must move out" In-Ha threatened which made Father Kang angry but he held himself back.

"You don't have to be disrespectful to your mother, even if you are to me" Father Kang said calmly because he knew being angry will only put him on In-Ha's bad side, and he didn't need that right now.

"Mother? You should be careful of what you say Chairman Kang, I don't want to be angry and kick you out of my house and company by morning"

"You..."

"Next time you want to call, don't mention anything about home coming or about that piece of thrash you kept at your side. It should be about getting out of my mother's property" In-Ha snapped before disconnecting the call.

"So what did he say? Will he return?" The woman sitting beside Chairman Kang anxiously asked, while he shook his head in response. He felt bad when he observed her change of countenance.

"Honey, you don't have to feel bad about it. He'll definitely acknowledge you soon" Chairman Kang consoled her, which made her sigh.
