Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 4: Accident

Dan-Han looked at his phone ringing from the umpteenth time, it was still his mother on the line. He looked at the stack of files still waiting to be reviewed, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He had more pressing issues to attend to and here he was being bothered by a stupid date he was certain would turn out badly. Why does he have to waste his time making small talks with some random woman, when he could use that same time and energy in developing his ideas for the new collaboration which his company was about to embark on.

Dan-Han reluctantly got up from his seat, picked up his Jacket, and phone before walking out of the office. He took long strides out of the almost empty building complex, which had just him, his secretary and the patrolling security guards on night duty.

Dan-Han slipped himself into the driver’s seat of his Mercedes sedan. He turned on the ignition and headed for the date. He took a breath to calm himself, he just have to sit through this date which would definitely be the last.

He has promised his father he would, if his father in turn promise not to set him up on any more dates.

Dan-Han knew he was late, but sincerely it wasn’t intentional. He just had a lot on his plate and he was only informed about this so called date some few hours ago.

Dan-Han drove as fast as he could but his phone kept ringing endlessly which was becoming annoying. He knew he had to answer his mother’s call or else she’ll call him till his battery drains out.

.....

He tried connecting the phone to the bluetooth system of the car. He had only taken his eyes of the road for some split seconds but that was a enough to give him the worse scare of his life.

He stepped hard in his brake and honked as fast and hard as he could but that wasn’t enough to avert the impending accident.

His eyes widened in shock and his face turned white and pale when he saw the body fall to the ground.

Has he killed someone?? f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

~~~~~~~

Dan-Han was running out of his mind while waiting impatiently outside the operating room, his body fully covered in blood. He couldn’t believe he had almost killed someone on his way to that stupid blind date.

*Ring*Ring

“Damn” He said frowning when he realized who was calling. It was the number of his supposed date, which his mother had sent him earlier.

“Hello” He said as soon as he answered the call.

“Miss Choi, I’m afraid we might have to cancel our date” He said calmly, pinching the space between his brows. He had forgotten to call her so they could cancel the date.

“Really?” Mi-ok asked in annoyance. ‘He actually wanted to cancel?’ she thought to herself.

“I’m sorry, but something unexpected happened and I can’t leave. I’m truly sorry for standing you up. I hope you can understand” Do-Han apologized. As much as he despised going on dates with random women, he was willing to see this one true since he had promised his father he would, even though he’d rather sit in his office all night.

“Something unexpected? But you should have told me sooner and you couldn’t call to inform me. Mr Lee didn’t you deem it fit to call and inform me if there were to be changes to our plan? Did you have to wait for my call?” she questioned angrily, still vexed over the issue that took place at the restaurant. She was simply looking for who to vent on, and he was just the perfect person.

This was the longest conversation he has had in a long time. Maybe it was the Adrenaline still kicking in his through his body.

‘Well he doesn’t have to know I left either’ she said to herself.

Dan-Han brows furrowed as he listened to her and thought to himself ‘did she listen to me at all?’. This was why he didn’t like this sort women at all. They’re usually brainless, and even the ones who had, barely used them.

“I’m sorry Miss Choi for my behavior, and I hope we can be able to fix this. I’ll ask my secretary to call you, so we can fix another date. I have to go, I’m sorry for the inconveniences” He said, impatiently hanging up. When he saw the doctor walk out of the operating room he quickly hurried up to him.

“Your secr...?” she yelled angrily but was interrupted by the beep of the disconnected call.

“Did he say his secretary? He wouldn’t call but his secretary will? He is really out of his mind” she said angrily as she bit her bottom lips in anger. No one has ever treated her in this manner.

Well news flash. She didn’t know Lee Dan-Han. The cold and aloof president of PK Corps, who nevers shows any emotions and tops the business world with his wit. She should be lucky he was generous enough to offer her an apology and a lengthy one at that.

“Doctor how is she? Was the surgery successful?” Do-Han asked with a worried look on his face. He had never experienced something as serious as hitting a person. It was a shocking experience for him.

And right now he could only wish she was okay.
