4 chapter four

We reach the mansion at evening tired to death after such a long drive. He must be more tired as he drove all the way. I look at him getting off the car and follow him in to the mansion.

" Tomorrow we have got a meeting with general manager. Hope you remember that. Take dinner and go to bed early. I got to go for a training session. Hana will take care of your safety till tomorrow morning. "

He nods as I explain. Hana is my co-worker. She is a close friend of mine. So she helps me when schedules are tough.

" see you tomorrow."

He says in a tired husky voice and leaves the living room. I walk outside and ride my bike towards gymnasium. I drop my stuff at my safe and start working out. It feels a bit hard because I missed my workout sessions for two days already. I continue training with my coach till the day break. It's really tiring and I know only an icy cold water bath can relieve this weariness. So I go get a cold shower, change in to my casual outfits and drive to the mansion. I have got two hours to sleep. So I quickly head towards my room and drop myself on bed. within seconds I fall asleep.

Next morning I wake up with the sound my phone ring. It's Hana. I pick up the phone while jumping out of the bed.

" Hey Hana , i will get ready and come in five minutes. Please wait."

" okay. Sure. Come quickly. " she ends the call.

I dress up and get ready quickly and go to the second floor where Hana was doing my shift. As soon as Hana see me she walks out of place waving her hand as a sign of sincerity.

Mr. Jung comes out of his room adjusting his white suit ready to go for the meeting. His neck tie hanging on his hand. As soon as he see me he greets with his usual grin.

" Good morning Soo Hee. Can you run an errand for me?"

" yeah.....I always do." I answered bit sarcastically.

" Can you fix the neck tie for me ?"

I was astonished at this request. I knew that I'm not going to do it.

" I'm sorry Mr. Jung it's not a part of my duties. "

I quickly answered him with a poker face.

He didn't backed.

" but we're friends Soo Hee. And you don't need to say Mr. Jung. Just call me Eric, that's my Catholic name. "

He was manipulating my decisions again. I took the tie in my hands not knowing how to wrap up my feelings. I put the tie around his neck and started fixing the tie . I could feel my fingers touch his skin which smelled lavender perfume. I tried harder to keep the temptation away .i think He knew I was resisting against my feelings.

Unexpectedly he put his both arms around me and I couldn't hold on to the tie anymore. I was always straight forward as I am except when it comes to feelings .

But this time I put myself together enough to question him.

" Why are you like this?"

He didn't say a word but he stares with his eyes fixed on me. And the next second he grabbed me closing the distance between us. I could feel his lips brushing against mine. I closed my eyes as I couldn't resist him . I could have fought him, I could have hit him hard or I could have reported him in the sake of my occupation; but to my surprise I didn't do anything and stayed still between his warm and strong arms. I was feeling safe like I never felt before. This was the moment i have waited ten years for. So I felt like I shouldn't stop him. I could feel him trying to grab me more closer, I could feel his lips running on mine more aggressively and I was drowning in those emotions . I was happy and confused both at the same time. We both came to our senses with the sound of a thunderstorm. It was raining heavily outside and we were getting late for the meeting . He spoke up.

" Soo Hee, I like you. I should have told this before, but .......I'm sorry."

He said looking guilty. I didn't know whether I should tell him about my feelings or not. I could imagine his guilty feeling. So I just hugged him and consoled him.

"It's okay, we're getting late. We should go now and let's meet after the dinner."

He called a cab service and the cab arrived sooner than we expected.

As We headed outside towards the cab he spoke.

" Driving needs mental stability. So I called a cab and thought it will be good for us both."

I gave him a faint smile filled with confusion. He put an arm around my shoulder and smiled in return.
