Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 68: Punishment

– Dan-Han’s office –

As soon as Dan-Han walked into his office, the calm look on his face was enough to inform director Gi-Hye that she was in for some deep shit. Dan-Han’s calm demeanor was his most dangerous state. He was like a lethal bullet really to lunge at a target, destroying all the vital organs on it paths.

The temperature of the room dropped by a certain degree making icicles to pop in director Gi-Hye’s mind. His kingly aura emanating from his body made her stiffle and her heart beat tremored with fear.

“Go-od morn- ing sir” Director Gi-Hye greeted with trepidation. She was still panting from from how fast she had hurried over to the office.

Dan-Han didn’t respond to her greeting. He simply walked past her and plonked himself into his seat. From his seat he looked a kind ready to proclaim judgement over his subjects. His gaze was intense and fiery.

“How long have you worked here?” He asked in a cold and stern tone, making shivers run down her spine.

“S-ix years” She replied. Her fears slowly increasing. The President’s tone was murderous and from his look he was probably ready to murder her.

.....

“Who said you can bully my staffs” His tone was sounding more deadly and the anger in it could not be missed.

Director Gi-Hye was confused by his question. When and how did she bully anybody?

“Sir I think there has been some misunderstanding”

Dan-Han raised a brow at questioningly. He has misunderstood things? Which of the things did he misunderstand?

Was it the frail and tired look Eun-Sun had on? Or the fact that she looked like she has lost some weight since she stared working in her department? It was bad that she was small enough, now they were going to rob him of whatever small fat he could use in the future?

He didn’t need anyone to tell him there was some sort of foul play going on. The girl was definitely being overworked and it was only her first week.

Director Gi-Hye almost pissed her pant when Dan-Han’s countenance became more grave. Her brain was doing an 360 degree turn as she tried joggling her brain of any bullying activities of her staffs.

Her eyes widened when she remembered the newly employed staff. There has been an order from him, asking her to make Eun-Sun work was that what he was talking about? But why was she being scolded for something she didn’t do.

She had wondered what Eun-Sun could have done wrong to incur the boss wrath, but there was nothing she could do than carry out his instructions to the later. What she didn’t know was that it wasn’t expected to carry on for days. And now Eun-Sun was looking exhausted.

She looked at Dan-Han but suddenly decided it was a wrong idea, prompting her to instantly lower her eyes. She dare not look at him. The man was ruthless and she wondered what would become of her if she actually stared into his eyes.

Director Gi-Hye knee it wouldn’t be wise to tell the president that he was the one to be blamed for this act of bullying, so she could only apologize.

“Sir I’m sorry. It was my mistake please forgive me” She apologized.

Dan-Han was furious at the moment. He didn’t bother to look at her and he buzzed Chang-Wok to appear in his office.

“Boss I’m here” Secretary Chang-Wok hurried into his office.

“Clear her desk and send her to HR” Dan-Han said with a tone of finality.

Director Gi-Hye almost passed out when she had the judgement that was passed on her. HR?

Tears immediately pooled in her eyes as she thought about this injustice. He was the one who had gave the order why was she then being punished for it.

“President Lee, please don’t send to HR. It’s a complete mess there and I can’t handle the internal disputes, paychecks....”

“Then resign” Dan-Han spoke coldly. He glanced at Chang-Wok and he knew that was an order to get them out of his office.

Secretary Chang-Wok immediately got to work. He led himself and director Gi-Hye out of Dan-Han’s office, before he had a taste of his wrath too.

Dan-Han thought back to the moment he had back at the elevator. That was actually the closet he has been with Eun-Sun. The feeling he had at that moment was indescribable. It was the feeling that has eluded him in the last six years. But he keeps experiencing it when ever she was around.

There was this heat that surges through his body whenever he stood close to her. Even her scent felt arousing.

When he had experienced the first time back at his house, he didn’t get to think much of it. This was a condition he couldn’t be treated for. He has given up hope after several failed attempts and everything has changed the moment she walks in?

‘What is she?’

Dan-Han didn’t want to give himself false hope. He had to be sure that this change wasn’t exclusive to her alone. If it was then he was going to make that woman his, no matter what.

As soon as it was the close of work Dan-Han left the office a little bit earlier than usual. He made his way to Jae-Hyun’s office.

Jae-Hyun was surprised to see Dan-Han in his office. It was rare for Dan-Han to visit the hospital of his own volition. The last time Dan-Han had appeared at the hospital was the day of the accident with Eun-Sun.

After they couldn’t provide any medical solution for him, he has never stepped a foot into any hospitals.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been involved in another accident?” Jae-Hyun teased.

“Maybe you can stand in front of my car and I can ask my driver to run you over” His response was cold as usual as he took a seat opposite Jae-Hyun.

Jae-Hyun hissed, “Dan-Han your sense of humor is so dry and humourless. Try and be less flexible” He sighed again but Dan-Han didn’t pay attention to his rant. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

“So what are you doing here? Are we not earning enough for you?”

“I want a test” Was his only reply.

“What kind of test?” Jae-Hyun was confused. As far as he was concerned Dan-Han was in perfect shape and didn’t have any medical condition.... His eyes widened when he finally realized the kind of test Dan-Han was referring to.

“You mean..”

“Yes” Dan-Han curtly replied.
