Pay With Your Heart

Eun-Sun pursed her lip in embarrassment. She couldn't bear to look at Dan-Han at the moment.

'How could you have said that out loud Eun-Sun!' She chided herself in her head.

Dan-Han was currently boring a hole in her head with his gaze.

'Did she just say he was going to trick her again? Has he ever tricked her before?' He didn't understand this woman at all, and this was one of the things that intrigued him about her. She wasn't an easy woman. Though she was petite, she was also daring, eccentric, tenancious, very contented and self reliant. But her independent/self reliant life has led her into being a proud woman who didn't want help from people.

Other people or make that other women would have been thrilled when offered such a treatment - one he hasn't given to anybody since that unfortunate incident happened five years ago — but here she was being careful again, and not wanting any help especially when she looked like she was about to faint from hunger.

Eun-Sun raised her gaze to Dan-Han who was just staring at her silently "Mr Lee, I didn't mean to.."

"I understand you miss Eun-Sun, you think I'm about to scam you of more money. It's perfectly understood" He replied stoicly.

"Well are you?" Eun-Sun couldn't help but ask, her brows cocked at him. This man has shown how petty and fraudulent he could be. Taking a meal from felt like having a deal with the devil.

Didn't they say if the devil offers you a cap know he wants your head in return. That was what receiving anything from this tyrant felt like.

Dan-Han arched a brow at her but it quickly disappeared as it came. Only this woman was able to say this kind of things to him. No one dared behaved in this manner with him, except her, but he didn't mind.

"Yes. I'm trying to trick you out of all the wealth you'll ever have. So why don't you remain quiet and eat whatever you're served" He replied glaring at her, before turning to Chang-Wok who has been staring at them in confusion.

"Tell Adam to bring her whatever food he can provide in the next five minutes" He ordered, before returning his attention back to the fiesty little woman who was about to spew something he thought would be very annoying ot taunting.

"Miss Eun-Sun I'd advice you to keep your mouth shut and focus on the food. I won't let you die and not pay my debt. You can starve to death after your debt is settled but for now, replenish yourself first. Failure to finish the meal will incure a punishment of increased interest rate. So be good" He stood up to his feet, and he patted her head. He didn't know why he did that but he couldn't control his hand.

Eun-Sun was stunned. Was that a threat? Did she asked for him to give her food?! So what if she died? What business of his was that? And perhaps who dies from mere hunger? And increase interest rate, what was that? This man was being a cruel bully?

"Mr Lee" Eun-Sun snapped and sprang to her feet, her eyes shooting darts at his back. Dan-Han paused just by the door, he closed his eyes. Couldn't this girl just eat her food and enjoy it? Must she throw a fit over everything?

Dan-Han hardened his gaze and stared at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He didn't say a word but he just maintained an awful glare at her.

Eun-Sun who was about to rant angrily suddenly felt her tongue tied, when she saw the way he was staring at her. Her head was ringing with alarms warning her not to provoke this tyrant.

This man is dangerous!

Dan-Han noticed the way her lips suddenly clamped shut. Although she didn't say anything the look in her eyes reflected the anger and irritation seering through her. This what he liked about her, and seeing her like this made him have the huge to tame her, kiss those small firm lips of her till that fire in her eyes dies down. But he knew he couldn't do that he had to take her slowly.

He turned to leave again but he stopped on his strides when he remembered something. "Don't leave this room until you're done eating" He paused. "And you're not allowed to leave your office after the close of work until I say so" He told her.

"Why?" Eun-Sun snapped. Why couldn't she leave her office after the close of work.

"You want to look me up here too, because of that money?" Eun-Sun asked angrily.

'No dummy, because I want to take you for dinner...and drop you home' Dan-Han said in his mind. But in reality he said, "Yes. I want to make you work harder so you can pay my debt. And I have the perfect work for you to do so" He told her.

That was it! Eun-Sun's brain short circuited. Who does the man think he is?

She took a few steps closer to him, her eyes burning with anger. "Mr Lee who do you think you are? Who are you to act like you own me because of a debt.l? Even great countries are indebted to other countries, even to the world bank also companies are also indebted. So how dare you treat me this way?!" She snapped angrily.

Since she was standing quite close to him, Dan-Han couldn't help but focus his eyes on her lips and on her small chest. She seems a bit flat there and her clavicle was almost sticking out.

'Why was she so thin?'

Though he hasn't dated in the last few years, but he was sure he liked women who were full and sexy. Not that she wasn't looking curvy in her small frame, he just thought she needed a bit more fat, and all he has to do was feed her and make sure she isn't skipping meals anymore.

"Mr Lee!" She snapped even more angrily when she noticed Dan-Han wasn't even listening to her.

"Miss Eun-Sun indebted countries are barely free from their creditors. They are sanctioned for debt default and also in companies there is a tendency for bankruptcy and take overs" Dan-Han replied.

"Yes but you don't see the countries been owned or completely taken over by the bank. Worst case scenarios there will be stalled employment generation by the private sector, or inability to generate revenue..."

"Miss Eun-Sun are by chance pleading to be unemployed or for your salary to be completely owned by the company till your debt is fully paid?" Dan-Han raised a brow at her. Eun-Sun swallowed a lump as soon as those words left Dan-Han's lips. Hell no! she wasn't asking him to take her complete salary. She was going to pay installmentally.

"I thought as much" Dan-Han said when Eun-Sun couldn't reply.

He covered the space between them in one stride. Eun-Sun's heart skidded when the musky scent of the man waft through her nose, making her head muddle. She lifted her head to look at him and her heart skipped more beats.

There he was doing it again! Overpowering and intimidating her with his height and dark aura. His eyes were looking deeply into hers and for a slight moment Eun-Sun was entrapped by it. For the first time she noticed he had dark brown eyes and just like his mood and aura, his eyes held a dark glint which were terrifying.

Eun-Sun didn't know why he had this effect on her whenever he was so close to her. If it were to be other guys they'd probably be swinging across her shoulders or wailing in pain from their hands been twisted to their backs. But here she was standing stupidly with her breath being held.

What she didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who was going to develop a blue hue from holding their breaths for too long. Secretary Chang-Wok and Chef Adam were about to pass out for subconsciously holding their breaths.

What were they seeing? What was happening right in front of them?

Dan-Han was not just standing a foot away from a girl, but he has spoken more than five long sentences. No! he has been involved in a banter and hasn't chopped off the tongue of this sharp tongued lady who had yelled at him. They were both stupified.

What the hell was going on?!!

Dan-Han who has been staring silently at Eun-Sun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. There it was again. That reaction that only she could provoke out of him.

"Miss Eun-Sun you can argue with me all day, but that wouldn't change the fact that you still owe me and that means I can do whatever I like. I'm not used to be challenged so be a good girl and feed yourself while I think of the most comfortable way for you to pay me back. And don't forget to wait behind. Sometimes my patience runs thin" He bent his head down slightly above her ears.

"And you look too thin. Tiny women are not appreciated in my company" He said before giving her one last look. He turned to Chang-Wok who look mummified before striding out of the room, leaving a stupified Eun-Sun.

'What does he mean by that?'
