In-Ha tossed and turned under his quilt all morning when Eun-Sun didn’t show up to work. A lot of thoughts ran through his mind as he laid on his bed.

Did she decide to quit? Was she that angry at him? He thought they had resolved the issue last night? So why was she not here?

​​

‘Or maybe Dan-Han had fired her? Did he find out the truth about what happened? That devil! he was going to kill him if he did. He had noticed the way, Dan-Han was staring wickedly at her. He immediately jumped out of bed at the thought of that and hurried off to Dan-Han’s room bare footed. He swung the door open without knocking which brought a scowl on Dan-Han’s face.

“You didn’t sack her did you?” He asked the moment he marched into the room. His gaze was focused on Dan-Han who was resting his head on the head board of his bed, with a deep scowl gracing his face.

This guy had no chill.

“I’m sure i will after this” Dan-Han answered curtly.

“Wait does that means you didn’t. So why isn’t she here yer?” He asked thoughtfully.

“Would you leave me alone and close my door!” Dan-Han snarled.

“But why isn’t she here if you didn’t fire her?” In-Ha asked again stubbornly, paying no attention to Dan-Han’s anger, or rather he pretended not to be fazed by it. He could feel the cold glint from the man’s eyes.

He moved closer to Dan-Han’s bed, “What do you think?” In-Ha pressed.

“It’s weekend Kang In-Ha. They don’t come weekends” Dan-Han snapped rolling out of his bed. He pushed past In-Ha as he headed for the bathroom.

He knew he had to answer him else he would keep badgering all morning. And he had just ruined his thinking time.

This was why he never accepts visitors at home, most especially at weekends. But now he can’t have that peace and quietness he’d always desired. He wondered how long his sanity was going to last with In-Ha around.

He was sure it won’t be for long.

In-Ha had forgotten all about Dan-Han’s stupid rule of not accepting people in his house by weekends . ‘How could he forget something so important?’.

“Dan-Han you’re just evil, you should have made an exception with her. You know I like this one” He yelled at him as he stumbled out of the room.

Dan-Han raised a brow after hearing In-Ha’s proclamation. Did he say he likes her? Who was he kidding?’

In-Ha couldn’t believe he was going to spend the whole weekend without seeing his little tigress. This was too sad.

“Eun-Sun wake up, you’re late for work” Hei-Ran said as she shook Eun-Sun who was sprawled on the bed, softly.

“Leave me alone, I want to sleep some more” Eun-Sun mumbled sleepily, she rolled to the other side of the bed. She had slept late, because she had stayed awake searching for vacancies and applying to as many as she could. She had to look for a way to pay up her debt before she gets tortured to death.

“But you’re late” Hei-Ran informed her, Climbing onto the bed to wake sleeping beauty.

“Hei-Ran go away. It’s Saturday, I don’t work weekends” She said before putting the pillows over her head. Hei-Ran was really disturbing her.

“Really? You really don’t work on weekends?” She asked in surprise. When Eun-Sun did not answer her she took that as a yes.

“Wow, What a nice job you have” She exclaimed. “If only my boss could be that sensible and be this nice, the world will be a whole lot better” She hissed bitterly.

Eun-Sun slowly sat up. She rubbed her eyes before glaring at Hei-Ran. It was obvious Hei-Ran won’t leave her alone.

“The fact that you got a mini devil for a boss does not mean all bossess are evil” She hissed before rolling out of bed.

“Whatever” Hei-Ran rolled her eyes at her. “Well, since we’re both not working today, how about we go to the mall?” Hei-Ran said excitedly. If Hei-Ran had an habit, then it was shopping.

“I don’t have money for such vanity at the moment” She said with a light yawn before going to the bathroom.

“But I’m the one buying not you” Hei-Ran said after her.

“Then you can go alone. I’m not going” Eun-Sun said firmly from the bathroom.

“But why?” Hei-Ran walked closer to the bathroom door as she asked in a soft tone.

“Because I don’t want to” She declared, walking out of the bathroom. Hei-Ran folded her hand across her chest as she looked at her.

“If you have no good reason the get yourself ready, because we’re so going” Hei-Ran stated with a tone of finality, before walking out giving Eun-Sun no room for rebuttal.

Eun-Sun sat down with a bored look on her face, as she waited for Hei-Ran outside the changing room at the clothing store. Hei-Ran had tried out almost all the line of clothes without picking one.

“What about this?” Hei-Ran asked for the hundredth time. She was wearing a red long sleeved gown that stopped just above her knee.

She looked at Eun-Sun waiting for her opinion anxiously.

“It’s beautiful. You should take this” She told her uninterestedly.

“But that’s what you said about all the clothes I tried out” Hei-Ran frowned.

“Because they all look good on you. But you’re bent on wearing me out, so I’ll just go to the restroom” She said exasperatedly before leaving. She has been pressed for a while now, but she just held it in thinking they might be leaving soon. But that wasn’t happening soon.

Eun-Sun opened the door to the restroom and saw a beautiful woman maybe in her fifties standing by vanity. She looked extremely beautiful like she hadn’t aged at all. Eun-Sun paused to admire the woman, she gave her a slight bow and walked into one of the booth.

Moments later she walked out and saw the woman crouched down, with a grimace on her face, like she was in pain. She slowly approached her and asked

“Ma’am are you okay?”
