8 Chapter 8. Bad Encounter

The next day, Arjoona came to work as usual, but something unusual happened. He could not park his car in the accustomed place, and there was a little commotion inside the factory. Arjoona was forced to park his car a little away from his lot because a luxury sports car suddenly grabbed in even though there was already a sign "Head of Design Divison" in the parking lot. The car park has been arranged for the managers and the head of the division. And the employee's vehicles were next to it.

Arjoona, who was still frowning, was even more surprised when he went inside and found a man he didn't know was scolding a production employee.

"What is happening here?" asked Arjoona, who hadn't even put down his backpack yet. The man who was scolding a female employee saw Joona. He walked over to him.

"Hey, who are you?" scolded the man, Arjoona frowned. He then saw the ID card hanging in Joona's pockets with an ID strap hanging from his neck.

"Oh, you are the head of the production. You see... your men can't work," added the man again arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Arjoona asked, with a tone starting to get high and annoyed.

"I am the fiancee of your CEO, my position is chief technical manager, I am your boss." Arjoona snorted and opened his mouth in surprise. What's this again?

"Ow, please! My boss is not the chief technical manager, I'm not taking any orders other than from the CEO. So if you want to ask me anything, tell your CEO to do it, I have no business with any chief!" Arjoona argued without fear. The man who boasted his position in front of Arjoona was surprised by Joona's guts to him.

"Don't be so cocky, I can fire you!" Arjoona grunts even more.

"Why does everyone want to fire me? If this company wants to let me go, please fire me now. But the one who has the right to it is the owner of the company, not you!" Arjoona and the man who the strangers now faced each other.

All employees who saw Arjoona dare to face one of the company's top brass were amazed. Arjoona probably just has a usual looking in a black leather shirt and jacket contrasted to the man in front of him wearing an expensive Balleciaga suit and branded sunglasses. But Arjoona's image was much more stunning, and his sexy charm radiated out to enthrall all the female employees who were seeing the argument.

"Now, don't ever come and scold my subordinates again, everything that happens in the production department is my responsibility, so if you want to complain... you come to me, not to them!" Joona said in a loud voice.

"Everyone back to their posts and proceed working, now!" he ordered again, and in a moment, all the employees left. The man looked in all directions and frowned. Arjoona was so obeyed by all factory workers. As soon as he spoke, all the workers would abide by his orders.

"You're going to regret this disrespectfully act!" the man snapped again.

"I have nothing to do with you, get out of here!" Arjoona returned as he growled. The man was about to beat Arjoona when a voice from behind Joona broke his intentions.

"Louis, what are you doing here?" Claire immediately came to embrace the arm of the man. Arjoona, who saw immediately snorted sarcastically and shook his head. It turns out that this man is the boyfriend of that arrogant CEO.

"Honey, I didn't know that there were your subordinates who thought that he's so powerful!" said Louis, pointing at Arjoona in front of Claire. Claire, who saw Arjoona, instantly gave him a sneer, and Arjoona instead looked away.

"Baby, your office is not in here but in the next building, I've already prepared your room, come on," said Claire, inviting her lover to leave that place. But before leaving and Louis already walked first, Claire half-whispered talking to Arjoona.

"Don't you think I will agree with Grandpa's plan to marry you, never!" Claire growled in a low voice. Arjoona turned to face Claire, whose height was only the limit of his chin. He got a little closer and pulled up a few of his lips sarcastically.

"Don't worry, I never wanted to marry a cocky woman like you. You are even matched with each other. Hhmm." Arjoona sneered at Claire while pointing at Louis.

"You may have a luck today Arjoona, but tomorrow I'll make you dishonorably fired!" Arjoona hissed, the same threats continued. In fact, he even thought last night to just resign from the company, but when he saw Claire threatening him again, Arjoona's pride seemed to be lowered. She wouldn't get what she wanted. If he resigned, the woman would be freer to mock him.

"We'll see who will come begging for me later, Claire Winthrop!" The eyes of the two clashed and ignited the flames of war. Claire quickly turned around and left the annoyed and angry Arjoona.

"Hey chief!" Arjoona shouted to Louis, who just walked a few meters from him. Louis and Claire stop. Louis turns to look at Joona.

"You better park your car somewhere else, you take my spot. If I still see it in an hour ahead, I don't guarantee it won't be scratched," Joona shouted threateningly and left after. The security guard who stood up and heard Joona's threat giggled. Louis was embarrassed in front of all the factory workers. Claire promptly pulled her lover's arm to go straight to the car park.

Arjoona's determination is unanimous. He will not accept the match. The day he was supposed to make up his mind had finally arrived. As soon as he entered the small room where the design and production division meeting for meetings, he met Gerald Winthrop, waiting for his decision.

"My decision is still the same sir, nothing has changed, I refuse the wedding plan!" Arjoona said while still standing.

"Why, what is the reason?" asked Gerald, who was in a sitting position.

"There is no reason for me to accept the plan at all, after all, why don't you just tell her to marry her boyfriend, she has a boyfriend!"

"He is just a boyfriend that doesn't mean anything!" Arjoona shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to know.

"Arjoona, I don't want to force you, but it looks like you really have to be." Arjoona frowned, and Gerald got up from his seat. He was forced to use his last trump card.

"You have a debt of gratitude to me Arjoona Harristian, I ask you to pay it off now." Arjoona closed his eyes and snorted very irritably. He looked at his boss with disbelief.

"Your debt of gratitude is equal to your life, isn't that what you said before?" Arjoona was still silent and looked at Gerald.

"You married Claire for two years and I consider your debt is paid off, agree?"

Arjoona let out a breath in annoyance, now that his life was being threatened with a past debt that she wouldn't be able to pay off. Should he marry a woman he hates so that all the burdens of debt that were overwhelming his life and heart would be gone?
