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"

"aghhrrrrggg arrrghhhh" the sound of the flushing toilet and repeated vomit of Run Ha had gotten the attention of her manager at Mayfield. she never liked her, but it was nothing personal, she didn't like anyone, she was just a cold and bitter woman who blamed others for her misfortunes even when they were no one's fault but hers.

"Eun Ha!" she called, the moment Eun Ha managed to lift her face off the toilet bowl,

" Are you Ill?" she asked raising her eyebrows in a suspecting manner.

one thing was for sure it wasn't because she cared

"No ma, I'm sure it's food poisoning or maybe something I ate didn't sit right with my stomach"

Mrs Wu lifted her browse and examined her thoroughly, "sure you ain't pregnant?"

Eun Ha's heart thumped loudly at hearing the word pregnant

"pregnant???? no I am not pregnant" she chuckled sounding defensive she wanted to avoid the topic completely but her anxiety had gotten the best part of her. she had put up her best act but Mrs Wu had inclined her heart and mind to anything that could mean bad news for people and given she was matured, she could tell.

"you're pregnant, I can tell you are, I have been observing you since you got in, I know you are" she repeated affirmatively.

"I am not ma'am and I will not stand here while you falsely accuse me, do you know what this could do to my image?

I work under you but I will not stand here while you slander me" she said in a calm but firm voice.

"Are you threatening me?" Mrs Wu had never seen Eun Ha in that state, true, she got her this time, but why was she worked up over it. if it weren't true why was she agitated?

"Humph," she retorted and walked away, leaving Eun Ha panting as tiny balls of sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Did I overreact? did she take my word for it?" She thought to herself.

Before she could make her way back to laundry she felt nauseous and found her way back to the toilet bowl, by the time she raised her head she was feeling very weak,

"I doubt I would be able to work today," she thought to herself as she made her way to the human resource office.

she took the elevator to the 4th floor where the human resource management office was. she knocked slightly as the voice of the human resource manager resounded,

" come in," he said in a deep voice with a commanding tone.

Eun Ha slowly entered the office, she had been fervently praying in her heart to be granted the request to take leave for two days, at least till she could confirm what was wrong with her and take proper care of herself and her unborn baby if already present. She felt sad and happy at the same time, she was going to be a mother, but she had sold her rights to the child even before it was conceived.

"Yes, why are you here"

Eun Ha already had shaky limbs she was weak and pale

"Sir, I would like to request for leave of absence for two days. I am not feeling too well" she responded weakly.

The management paid little or no attention to staffs of low ranking like the waitresses since they had more than enough of them.

the HR took a few seconds to observe her for a while she looked sick,

" Alright then you can go" he gave her a typed document to sign on, it was designed for emergencies like this.

she signed and left immediately, this time she was sweating profusely, she was confused, it was quite unusual, she hated herself, she needed to find out if she was truly pregnant or if it was just another illness, she took a cab and stopped at the closest pharmacy to her new apartment in City A it was in B town, she had moved out of her parent's apartment in A town 2 weeks after the procedure, she wanted to be far away from everyone as possible.

she owned a one-bedroom flat apartment that was part of a two-storey building, it has a rickety elevator that was barely ever used because it was unreliable.

This was the new life she had to live, Mu Chen had offered her an apartment but she had politely refused, she didn't want to be indebted to him, he had done more than enough.

"can I have a pregnancy test strip she asked with slight difficulty" she had been quite shy to ask, but the pharmacist had gone in and brought it nonchalantly without a hint of expression on his face, he handed it over to her after packaging it and she made her way to the old model rickety storey building she lived in the small part of the town, one thing was for sure, she needed to start looking for another job and she needed to do it fast.
