Pay With Your Heart-Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Waiting For His Staff

The next morning, In-Ha waited impatiently for Eun-Sun to resume work at the villa. He kept looking outside the window as he waited anxiously for her to come, and most importantly for Dan-Han to leave. He didn’t want Dan-Han to ruin his chances with her at all.

There was something about the housekeeper that he liked. He didn’t know if it was her no-nonsense or indifferent attitude that was attracting him or something else.

Dan-Han sighed irritatedly at In-Ha’s behavior this morning. He could tell he was anxiously waiting for someone, and he knew who that someone was. It must be the same person he was waiting for...his new house keeper.

“And who are you waiting for?” Dan-Han decided to ask as he descended the stairs...not that he didn’t know the answer.

In-Ha turned to look at him and said “No one of interest to you”

“Then I don’t think she’ll be of interest to you either” Dan-Han replied.

“And who said it’s a she?” In-Ha asked with a questioning look as he raised a brow at him. Why was Dan-Han annonyingly smart? In-Ha mumbled in his mind.

.....

“Because I know it’s the new house keeper who I’m also waiting for” Dan-Han said making his way to the dinning table.

The chef bowed the moment Dan-Han arrived the table. “Good morning sir. I’ll introduce the dis...” Dan-Han interrupted him with a hand wave. He wasn’t interested in a long boring speech so early in the morning. The chef bowed and disappeared. He knew better than to linger around.

“No! Dan-Han you can’t wait for her ” In-Ha exclaimed as he hurried over to Dan-Han’s side at the table, making Dan-Han tilt his head to look at him with a questioning look. In-Ha’s sudden outcry was annoying, but In-Ha didn’t wait for Dan-Han’s reply, as he continued.

“You really can’t. You have to leave” He gingered not minding Dan-Han’s frightening look.

“And why?” Dan-Han asked just to indulge In-Ha in his silly act.

“The last time I checked, she works here and this also happens to be my house. So I can address my staff right?” Dan-Han was somewhat amused with In-Ha’s attitude. But his amusement wasn’t reflected on his face.

“What I meant was, yo...you’ll be late. I know how much you hate being late. So just hurry up” He tried to come up with a convincing lie. He picked up Dan-Han’s car keys and handed it to him, gesturing for him to leave.

“Thanks for your concern. But I’ve to access my staff” Dan-Han said firmly, before picking up a spoon to have a quick breakfast. Dan-Han wasn’t going to leave things unattended to, that was totally unlike him. If he got a new staff, then he’ll have to address him/her in this case it was obviously a her, on how to work with him. Most especially he had to inform her about his detest for nosy people. The last thing he wanted was information about himself or photos of his house flying around town.

“But she’ll be late” In-Ha lied again. He didn’t know what else to say to convince Dan-Han to leave.

“And why would she?” Dan-Han cocked a brow at him.

“If she isn’t serious, I’ll just have to call the agency for a replacement” He replied, as he reached for his phone but In-Ha got to it first.

“You can’t do that! Who said she isn’t serious? Just go already I’m afraid you might scare her” In-Ha felt like dying already. Dealing with Dan-Han was impossible, as a matter of fact there was no one who could.

Dan-Han always felt good when he messed with In-Ha, especially when it was so early in the morning.

Dan-Han was truly enjoying his time, watching In-Ha all shaken up, over a girl. He knew whatever In-Ha was feeling would soon pass and he would lose whatsoever interest he had for this girl....it was only a matter of time.

“You are not in love, are you?” Dan-Han teased. In-Ha has been smiling sheepishly at the mention of the word ‘housekeeper’, since he saw her yesterday.

“Of course not. That’s a scary thing to say you punk. I’m not in love and I can never be” In-Ha rebutted.

‘Pfft..fall in love his ass’ 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

He didn’t think he was that stupid to fall in love, at least not yet. There were so many fishes in the ocean, and he hasn’t had a good taste of the varieties there was.

“Just so know, I’ll really kill you if you as much as lay a hand or wink at my housekeeper” Dan-Han threatened. In-Ha was a plague in his life. He would always come with all his playboy act and send his housekeepers running or making the few foolish ones fall in love with him. And they would stupidly resign because they thought they’ve found love and a rich man to marry them.

Dan-Han glared at In-Ha when his phone started ringing in his hands. In-Ha was spooked by the cold look in Dan-Han’s eyes. “Sorry he apologized” hurriedly passing it back to him.

Dan-Han sighed when it was Secretary Chang-Wok calling. He knew what that meant. Duty calls.
