Wounded: The Ordeals Of Lee Eun ha

Eun Ha? " the manager called, " Please take a menu to that table and get their request." deep down she would have wanted someone else to do it but this was the boss orders, who was she to reject. she took the menu and walked straight to the table, her heart was racing very fast, she couldn't phantom exactly why. good evening Sir, she said bowing her head politely as she offered the menu what would you like to have? they looked at the menu and pointed what they wanted, she went out from the table and brought the cocktail they had ordered, she turned back to leave when the voice of one of them stopped her in her tracks. "wait" her heart stopped for some split seconds and continued beating with difficulty. I know you, you're Mr Lee's daughter he said with and an evil grin that revealed his tobacco colored teeth. she froze as the tray she was holding dropped to the ground. "I was right, it's them" The restaurant on the ground floor was filled with people mostly the elites, some of them were tourist, others were there for a business meeting and others, conferences. the sound of the dropped tray caught the attention of most of them, making them glance at Eun Ha for some split seconds. He continued, The deadline is tomorrow evening don't forget that. Eun Ha had wanted to say something to them, perhaps, beg them but the words never left her throat. Eun Ha stood there for about two minutes, "will you get us our meal or will you just stand there?" the other muttered harshly. she knew they were evil men, above the law. falling into their trap was the most dangerous place a person could be. she resigned to begging for more time. one glance, Mu Chen could tell what was happening "X force" he whispered underneath his breath. they had quite a reputation and were feared by many. They feared no one and could illegally obtain what was theirs if necessary. He looked at the helpless young lady on the floor, he knew there was no way they'd let her go, no matter how much she begged. he didn't know this girl, yet he felt a need to protect her. he went out and waited in his car in the parking area. "Wait," he said with a deep voice. Chae won was surprised he would have sworn a few minutes ago that he was in a hurry to leave. The loan sharks finished their meal as she handed them their bills, "How ironic, we're paying for your service and you owe us," he said humorously as they both burst into laughter. Eun Ha felt a knife pierce her heart, she had never felt so much humiliation in her life. she followed them outside the building trying to plead with them for the last time to see if they'd cave in and give her more time but they just walked straight to the car and drove off. Eun Ha stood outside the hotel, in despair, her father was going to die, this men were ruthless, the cloud had darkened earlier, soon few drops of rain started falling, but she was in no hurry to leave as if it were possible for the rain to wash down all her pain, she stood outside staring blankly into thin air while it rained on her, soon her hair was separating into clustered strands, tear a freely flowed down her cheeks, she felt like screaming, she felt helpless, Just then she couldn't feel the raindrops on her skin she turned as her eyes met with a tall handsome young man holding a big black umbrella. Mu Chen looked at her sorrowful eyes, he could see the pain in her soul through them. "I know who they were, and I can roughly guess what it is" Eun Ha was confused, "what did he know? who was he? why is he being kind to me?" she asked one question after another in her head. "How much?" he asked with a king like voice. "10,000 dollars," she said as her lips trembled, "How did you...?" this time she was starting to get suspicious. I have an offer for you, I'll clear the debt but you'll carry my baby"

Eun Ha

Her jaw dropped as she looked at Bok Su, she struggled to process it all but this meant one thing, she was done for.

"What?!!!" thief?? What do you mean by the if, what have I stolen?" she asked one question after the other trying to catch her breath, a terrific headache struck her as she tried to analyse everything going on.

" I'm sorry Eun Ha I think you've been framed and I doubt you'd be let off the hook so easily."

Bok Su said with a sad voice, she was such a sweet girl she definitely didn't deserve what was coming for her.

"I did nothing wrong, I am not a thief" she said with a shaky voice as stream of tears flowed effortlessly down her cheeks.

"I know but how will you convince the manager that you didn't do it when the art piece was found in your locker?"

He was right, it wasn't Bok Su that bedded to believe her, it was the manager.

Manager Sung was fuming in anger pacing back and forth, he wasn't open to any reasoning at this point as it had almost cost him his Job, there was no saving this time around for the culprit.

He was probably the last person to know the identity of the person who stole the art piece.

The head of security brought in the item.

"Whose locker was it found?" he asked angrily raising his voice a little higher

"It was Lee Eun Ha" he responded calmly

"Lee Eun Ha?!" he exclaimed, one thing was certain Lee Eun Ha was no thief, she was one of the most hardworking employee he had, he remembered when she came with her application about a year ago, young, vibrant and full of life he saw her as a daughter but how is it possible that she stole this? He thought to himself, all his anger was immediately converted to pity, if it were within his power he might have been able to help her.

"Tell her to meet me in my office" he said in a cold tone he knew someone was behind it. "Eun Ha would never steal anything, she was too hardworking for that, or perhaps did she need money desperately?" were the thoughts ravaging his head.

He paced back and forth in the office he had to make a decision, to either let her go or let her stay.

The head of security got to the staff station in less than 2 minutes

Eun Ha was trying to wipe off her tears, she quickly braced up her mind for what would happen next.

"You've been through worse" she whispered to her self, that has been like a mantra for her

In the past few years.

She made her way to the manager's office as she thought of different ways she could convince the manager of her innocence cause she was truly innocent, the snide remarks from her colleagues and the silent whispers was slowly getting to her head, they had already condemned her in their heart, no one believed in her, perhaps it was because they were all at the verge of losing their jobs, they were just glad that a scapegoat was found.

She slowly approached the managers office, her heart thumped a little, she was unsure of what to say all she could think of was how he saw her now.

She knocked slightly and opened the door.

The manager was already seated and was observing her closely and she quickly greeted "Good afternoon sir"

Have a seat Eun Ha

"Sir... I..."

"I know," he said without allowing her to complete her unprepared speech.

"I didn't do it" she managed to spurt out as tears welled up in her eyes.

I know Eun Ha but there is nothing I can do, the higher ups are involved and they are aware of it all, I'm sorry we'll have to let you go.

"Sir please she begged on her knees, I didn't do it, I really need this Job sir" she said with so much desperation in her voice it was like her life was hanging on the line

"sorry Eun Ha the best I can do is give you your salary for this month, clear your locker and leave the building immediately" he said without a hint of expression on his face, this was difficult bus he had to do this,

He stretched out his hand giving her his card, "call me, I might be able to help you find another Job." at least so he thought.

Reality finally dawned on her, it was really over, this was the scene where she laughs sarcastically but she didn't even have the strength to smile, her whole world was coming down and she had no where to run, nowhere to hide.

She stretched out her hands and collected the card

"Thank you sir" she managed to say

"Eun Ha, I'm sorry"
