In-Ha noticed the awkward way at which she was staring at him. He wasn’t offended because, he had expected it. From how she had rejected the meal he had offered her yesterday, he suspected she’ll behave the same. In-Ha let out a small smile, he took her hand and placed the bottle in it. It was crystal clear she might keep staring and she’ll never take it.

“You’re sweating, just drink it. You’re not going to reject your boss are you?” In-Ha said feigning a serious look.

​​

Eun-Sun looked at the bottle in her hand, feeling the coldness of the water in her hand, her throat reflexively began to feel dry. She could do with some cold water especially after that short run. She didn’t ask for his help, but if he was offering, then she’ll accept it. No one asked him to do that, after all it was just water.

Eun-Sun uncapped the bottle and brought it to her mouth. She drank to her full.

Damn! that was exactly what she needed.

She covered the bottle and looked back at In-Ha who was attentively staring at her. “Thank you sir” She said with a courteous bow.

“You’re welcome” In-Ha nodded.

“I’ll start working now” She told him while he nodded again. Eun-Sun bowed slightly before walking past him.

In-Ha turned around and stared at her back, his hand were buried in his pockets. He kept looking at the direction she had walked past for a while before he went up to his bedroom.

Eun-Sun had only cleaned for a few hours when she felt a presence behind her. She turned around and was shocked out of her mind when she saw In-Ha standing behind her.

She didn’t know how long he has been standing there, but seeing him now staring and smiling at her lasciviously, Eun-Sun could feel her muscle tense.

In-Ha has been standing there for a few minutes as he watched her work.

He didn’t know why he was behaving the way he was. He had tried staying up stairs so he could divert his mind from the thoughts searing through his head, but he couldn’t. So here he was.

“Sir do you need anything?” Eun-Sun asked as she stopped what she was doing to look at him.

“Yes, I ordered some chicken wings and beer, so I thought maybe you could join me for cards?” He asked smiling at her, while she gave him a confused look.

“I just needed some company that’s all” He reassured her, when he saw the suspicious look in her eyes.

“I’m sorry sir, but I’m not good at cards” Eun-Sun informed him, her voice sounding both firm and polite.

“Really?” In-Ha raised a brow. “Then tell me what you’re good at” Eun-Sun cringed when she noticed he was flashing her that perverted smile again, as he slowly began to walk closer.

Eun-Sun instinctively took a step backward. Every nerve and muscle in her body became alert.

“I’m not good at games” Eun-Sun replied in a firm tone. Her gaze on him also became intense and alert to. This was it.

His true nature was about to reveal himself. So much for being nice by giving her a bottle of water.

“Well there are other things we could do other than games” In-Ha said with a suggestive smile.

“Sir I don’t know what you mean by that. But I’m still busy here” Eun-Sun tried to sound polite, when what she really wanted to do was to yell some sense into his clown-like head.

“You shouldn’t bother about that. You can do that later” In-Ha was really trying to control himself, but seeing her right there in her fitted jean and yellow top which really complimented her skin tone, and her round beautiful eyes which were sending threatening looks at him and those luscious lips which had a way of always remaining wet when she spoke, In-Ha couldn’t hold himself back.

The only thing in his mind right now was, was her lip as soft as they looked?, or would her skin feel soft and good when pressed against his?

In-Ha’s thoughts were running wild just by looking at her.

“Sir In-Ha what are you doing?” She remembered his name from their brief introduction on their first meet.

“Nothing..I just want to satisfy my curiosity” In-Ha shrugged as he kept approaching her.

Eun-Sun continued to take steps backward. Her were stern and sharp, but her resolve about hurting her boss was dwindling now that the situation she has most dreaded has finally presented himself.

Could she really hurt him? What if he overpowers her? With every step In-Ha took, Eun-Sun responded by taking a step backward.

In-Ha noticed the way she was responding to his advancement, and his lips twitched amusedly. Everything about her was cute.

Eun-Sun finally stopped when she felt her back pressed against the kitchen Island. There was no more space left for her. Eun-Sun hardened her gaze at him.

“Sir with all due respect, I’ll advice you not to take a step further. You’re my boss, so you should behave accordingly” Eun-Sun said resolvedly.

“Actually I’m not your boss, so why should I behave as such?” In-Ha replied in a defiant manner.

Eun-Sun was slightly confused by his reply. He was not her boss? Then who was?

Eun-Sun was about to ponder on that, when she quickly discarded the thought out of her mind. This must be a prank to trick her to bring her guards down.

In-Ha closed in on her, his smile not leaving his face. His eyes lingered on her face and he slowly lifted his right hand to her face.

Eun-Sun’s eyes vigilantly followed the movement of his hands. And before In-Ha would know it, he was over her shoulders.

“AHHH”

A loud thud on the ground and the immediate surge of pain weaving through his body, jolted him to the realization of what had happened.

He has just been flipped over!
