40 Nearest is the Farthest

"I am just looking at the flowers Sir, they look so beautiful. I can see Mr. Min Woo Joon has a beautiful taste. He maintains his garden area very well" Lee Soong said in one go with all the nervousness

"Why are you being nervous Ms. Lee Soong?" Neul questioned

"Sir you have questioned me all of a sudden so I just became nervous I am sorry" Lee Soong replied looking down

"Don't be Sorry Ms. Lee Soong, feel free. This is going to be your working place from now, you will have to come to the mansion more often. So don't be nervous. Feel free, if you need anything you can always ask the staff, they will always be handy" Neul Woo Joon smiled

"Sir, you are so great and down to earth even after being the father of Min Woo Joon, the superstar at present" Lee Soong can't stop complementing the man who is nowhere behaving like a employer

"What is great in this Ms. Lee Soong? I am just being myself" Neul Woo Joon shrugged

"Don't say like that Sir, until now I have worked with many people and none of them are top actors yet their families behave like stars and treat us with no respect. They used to think of us as their servants, so we got no respect anywhere. Now that you are showing this amount of love and respect, I really do feel happy" Lee Soong smiled

"I am happy that you are already happy, because they say that happy people work well and keep the environment pleasant. You know how my son is, so I am really looking forward to see how you people are going to tackle him, I wish we can build back his tarnished image and if possible mould him too" Neul Woo Joon expressed looking at Lee Soong

"You just don't worry about that Sir, Haneul might not have experience working with the superstars but she is perfect in every way. She not just works for bettering their image but she do change people. When she worked as an intern for Zing Loo Rin, she made friends with him and made him quit his dangerous habit, she changed his whole personality for good. Only after that he was being casted in big ventures and tasted success. You must have checked her profile, you will get a better idea" Lee Soong stated about her roommate Haneul not just for impressing Neul Woo Joon but for letting him know how Haneul is 

"Great, just great. Now I am happy that I made a right choice for my son even though I hardly knew about you. You too are so sweet Ms. Lee Soong, you boasted  about your friend without saying anything about yourself" Neul smiled stating that

"believe in me Sir, I am not at all boasting. I am stating truth. She deserves all the praise for the way she is. I was nothing before I met her, she helped me in getting a job, she shaped my career. She is a very patient individual" Lee Soong smiled wide

"Great to hear such souls exist even now, so where is your friend now?" Neul Woo Joon questioned'

"Sir, Mr. Min Woo Joon wanted to speak something with her personally, so he took her somewhere. I got bored of waiting in the living room since an hour so I just walked out here to breathe some fresh air" Lee Soong replied for Neul Woo Joon's question

Hearing the word more than one hour Neul Woo Joon's mind sensed something negative

"What must have taking place inside the room? Will Min hold back himself? Would they be fighting? I need to know that. I can't let them go extremes and back off. I have worked hard to bring them together, I can't just let that fly away like this" Neul Woo Joon thought seriously

"Please enjoy your time Ms. Lee Soong, if you want anything just ask for it. Don't feel shy, this is your home. I have some work; I will have a look on that"

"Anjook Win Soo, stay here and look after Madam. Make her some refreshing lemonade" Neul Woo Joon ordered his staff and smiled at Lee Soong before walking out from the garden

"They were together since an hour? My God, how could I leave them alone just like that? What if they fight a lot and break out even before something starts? I have managed to bring them together after all these years, I need to stop then. I can't let them part away again" Neul Woo Joon kept thinking to himself all the way to his son Min Woo Joon's room

Knowing about his son's short temper he is sure that the room would be filled with screams and chaos. He kept praying Almighty that things should sort well 

"Min, open the door. Open the door" Neul woo Joon rang the bell and kept knocking on the door for a few minutes straight

The door opened slowly leaving Neul Woo Joon all surprised looking at the room

"You prefer your coffee black Madam, we know that. Here's your coffee, the coffee beans are perfectly roasted and we didn't let the frost sit down" she smiled the same way at Haneul and gave her the coffee cup

"Call me if you need anything" she smiled for one more time and walked away when Haneul gave her a smile

Haneul looked towards her left only to find Lee Soong sipping her coffee staring at her with questioning eyes

"Don't stare at me like that. If you keep doing that continuously there might be high chance that your superstar Min Woo Joon might get an impression of you being an idiot. So if you don't want that avert your eyes," Haneul ordered her roommate Lee Soong is a whisper

"I don't know about Min Woo Joon's impression on me, but if everything keeps happening this way there is a high chance of me turning mad by the end of the day. What not I am looking Han? How come everyone here knows you so much and how are they doing everything according to it?" confusion was clearly evident in Lee Soong's question
