Dan-Han watched her back as she ran off with In-Ha following her. He took a step to follow after her, but he stopped himself, he shouldn't do that. He turned towards Kwon-Nara with a nacing look in his eyes. His fingers twitched to strangle that neck of hers and probably cut off that hand she had used to touch him. He clenched his fingers to refrain himself from commiting day-light murder.
He wasn't angry because she had tried to spite Eun-sun, but because she was pushing her luck with him. He gazed at Ji-Tae before staring back at Nara.
"Two strikes. Give a third and I'll put you out of your misery." He warned, but the girl was unperturbed, and that didn't bother him. Her faux courage would get her killed, he was sure of it. She didn't even know what she was up against.
He gazed at Ji-Tae again, and the boy flashed him one of his stupid smile.
"Be careful with , and don't you try ssing with her." He drawled and walked away. He wasn't sure what ga Ji-Tae was up to, but he'd put an end to him, family or not.
He glanced towards the door as he walked away. His mind had darted to her once again.
Damn him, for feeling bad towards her. That small woman had him wrapped around her finger, didn't she?
He turned towards Chang-wok who had made himself invisible.
"Find her." He ordered.
Kwon-Nara heaved a sigh the mont Dan-Han walked away. She had never felt suffocated as much as Dan-Han made her feel with his eyes. She glanced at Ji-Tae with a frown on her face, but the man seed to have found sothing amusing. He surprised her when he suddenly burst out into a round of hysterical laughter.
"You rascal, what was the aning of that?" She snapped at him, but he ignored her and laughed even harder, not bothered about the attention he was attracting to himself with his maniacal laughter. The sound of his laughter was annoying and could cause a ear bleed.
"What's the aning of what?" He asked amid his laughter while Nara glared at him.
"The aning of what you just did. You called here on purpose to ss with Dan-Han, when you knew it would only spite him against . What evil sche are you up to, really?" She asked, but the man smiled at her with wriggling brows.
"Would you pay if I tell you?" He asked with a teasing smile.
Nara narrowed her eyes on him like she had him all figured out. "This is about that girl, isn't it? She's the one he's rumored to like."
"Not like sweetheart." He corrected her. "Loves."
He rupt out in laughter when her countenance suddenly changed.
"You're hopeless, my little puppet." He sighed and shook his head, while she frowned.
"Not for long." She muttered under her breath but she was audible enough for Ji-Tae to hear.
She instinctively took a step back when the smile on Ji-Tae's face suddenly dissipated like it had not been there. He took a step closer to her, and she gulped at his frightening countenance that was now plastered on his face.
"Now, rember why you are here. Lay as much as a finger on her, and Dan-Han's threat would be the last of your worries." He threatened making her swallow nervously as she nodded in fear.
He straightened himself and smiled like he had not looked like a psychopath seconds ago. "Good girl." He patted her head. "Now run along, your job here is done for today." He said, gesturing for her to leave.
Nara opened her mouth to say sothing but she clamd it shut and walked away with her hand tightly clenched into a fist and her fingers digging into her palm.
"And Nara," He called out to her, halting her on her heels. She turned to look at him. "Tell those minions of yours that I see them."
Her eyes slightly widened when she Heard him, but she regained her composure and quickly walked away.
She wasn't scared of him. She wasn't at al!! And for his information, she wasn't a pawn in his silly ga, whatever it was, and she'd show him just that. She'd get what she had co for and that was to be the first lady of Lee corporation.

Developnt office
Eun-sun wasn't too enthusiastic to return to work after seeing In-Ha. She still couldn't believe what the man had said.
He was in love with her?
She felt she should have gotten angry over it, because now she'll always find herself thinking about it, and feeling uncomfortable around him even if she tries not to be.
She didn't need this at the mont. She had thought he'd apologize and she'd get her friend back, but not this. Thinking about it now, she felt her approach to it was the best she could do. There was no need to say much to him or get mad at him. She understood feelings could be unpredictable. But if he values their friendship as well as the one he has with Dan-Han, he'd not ntion that again. For his sake and hers. But inwardly, she feared In-Ha wouldn't do that.
She tried to bury herself with work for the remaining hours of the day so as not to think about In-Ha or Dan-Han. She didn't even want to think about the latter for a second least she cries again at work.
Two hours after the close of work Eun-sun was still seated in her office alone working, or rather trying to work. She didn't want to go ho now. Hei-Ran was so busy these days she barely sees her.
She paused when she heard slow walking steps. Her heart thumped when she guessed who it was, but the mont she raised her head, a look of disappointnt covered her face.
"What do you want?" She curtly asked with a glare, while the man faked a hurt look.
"You sure do know how to hurt a man's feelings. Can't a friend visit another?" He said, but the annoyed look in her eyes told him she was only interested in seeing his back to her.
"Mr Ji-Tae, what do you want?" She sternly asked again.
He sighed as he stretched a bottle of mineral water towards her. "I brought you this." He smiled but Eun-sun glared at him and his 'gift' making him sigh. "You're hydrated, I can tell. And your eyes, they seem dry. You should take so water."
"I don't need it."
He sighed again and took further steps towards her desk. "I know I give you a crazy vibe, and my sister must have said so good words about , but I don't bla her. Honestly I haven't been good to anyone not even myself."
"What do you want?" She asked him, letting him know she wasn't interested in his speech.
"I just want you to be less hostile to , and maybe you can help win my sister back," he paused and continued shortly, "And I'll help you get Dan-Han from that clingy ex-girlfriend of his."
"Dan-Han has no ex-girlfriend." She told him as a matter of factly.
"Is that what he told you? I'm sure he and Kwon-Nara dated and she's the reason why he's sterile."
