A Night With My Boss

CHAPTER 07

warning : violence

ROSELLE turned to confirm if she heard it right, Mr. Kim?

But as she turned, a pair of glaring eyes welcome her. Seeing him here is so unexpected.

"Mr. Jeon?" Ian called Justin as he never said a word and was just staring at her.

"You have a beautiful wife" Justin said still his eyes on her, she can't help but to look down - don't know what to do.

"Babe, he is the person behind all of the beautiful furniture in the house" Ian looked at her smiling, she don't know what to respond.

Seeing Ian all smiles makes her feel somewhat weird. Doesn't he know about all she did in Seoul? Doesn't he know Justin?

"A-ah jinjja?" she said stuttering, she don't want to look back at Justin but she needs to act like she don't know him if Ian really doesn't know him.

"Let's sit" Ian said guiding her to sit beside him.

Justin didn't sit, he was still staring at her intently making her conscious.

"Sir" his secretary called him so he chose to sit seeing he is the only left standing.

"Do you want anything?" Ian whispered at her sweetly, making her awkward.

She briefly look in front of them just to see Justin still glaring at her "A-ani, I'm fine" she said.

She just stayed sitting awkwardly as the two men continued talking business. She would noticed Justin stealing glances at her but she would avoid it seeing his eyes full of unquestionable feelings.

Ian would look at her sweetly and ask her random things making her confuse. He don't act like this to her, he usually shout and grab her hard every time they're together.

She was just listening when Ian's phone rang, he picked it and excuse himself.

But before he walk he scooped her chin and peek a kiss making her surprise. What's with him?

Her sight followed him until Ian disappeared towards the garden.

Silence enveloped the living room, she keeps rubbing her fingers together.

"Can you get some papers in the car" She stopped grinding her fingers when Justin spoke, she looked up to see his secretary leaving.

She heard him scoff, she glance at him looking at her intently "Aish jinjja" He exclaimed shaking his head.

Roselle just kept her lips close tight, she don't know what she's gonna say.

"All along I thought you have a boyfriend, but it wasn't just a boyfriend. It's a husband?" He laughed sarcastically making her guiltier.

"You made me a fool" Justin said full of hatred.

"I wasn't fooling you around" Roselle tried explaining but she don't know where to start.

"Shut up! I don't need to hear your reasons, what I'm seeing right now is enough for me to conclude what a ... " Justin stop continuing what he's about to say.

Roselle felt like something sting inside her, she already know he hated her now to the bones. And she regretted it, if only she stop it from the start.

A tear was about to fell in her eyes but she stop it, she don't wanna cry. Her eyes are already swollen from yesterday, she's tired.

That's when Ian walked back towards the living room, sit beside her and grabbed her waist toward him.

"I should go now" Justin stood up suddenly, tidied himself with a poker face.

"That fast?" Ian asked smiling "You just met my wife and you're already leaving?"

"Something came up in Seoul" Justin said looking at Ian "I have to be there because apparently my other secretary was on leave" Justin glanced at her and the anger is still evident in his eyes.

Ian nodded and stood to extend his hands for a handshake. Justin stared at his hand for quiet long before shaking it.

"Let's see each other more Mr. Kim I would like to have a deeper connection with you" Ian said letting go of his hand and grab Roselle's hand instead "Let us see you go Mr. Kim"

Justin nodded and then walked outside. They also followed him but stop when they reach the door.

Roselle accidentally continued walking towards the outside but Ian was still holding her making her stop "Where are you going?" He asked coldly.

She looked back at him and shook her head, she step back and stood up just beside him.

Justin opened his car and was about to get in but he stop and looked back at them. His sight stop at her but she avoided him, he looked at the man beside her. Ian just smirk and nod, he nod back and get inside his car.

They just watched as he drove off away from them, when the car wasn't seen anymore. Ian turned to get in the house and grabbed her hand forcedly.

"Get lost, I don't wanna see you. If you have to stay in your room the whole day, it's better. Just stay out of my sight" He said as he swing her hand away from him.

He glared at her and then left making her sigh. The devil is out of it's closer. Again!

She walked towards her room and hide there.

It was midnight when she woke up feeling thirsty, it's never new to her waking up in the middle of the night.

She walked like a feather avoiding any unnecessary sounds, when she reached the kitchen she grabbed the cold water out of the refrigerator and grab a clean glass.

She was about to drink when her eyes notice something, she scrunches her brows seeing a smoke from the garden.

She gulped the water and decided to walk towards the garden, she went out of the garden and saw Ian sniffing over a stick of cigarette.

Ian noticed her and turn his head facing her "You're awake?"

She is hesitating whether she'll come near him or not, but remembering what he said earlier she chose the latter.

She was about to turn and walk back to her room when Ian spoke "Do you hate me that much?"

Roselle stop hearing him, she turn back and saw his eyes full of longing and sadness but it was just for nanosecond and it turned back to his usual poker face.

She exhale and walked towards him but he spoke again making her stop "Go back to your room, I told you I don't wanna see you" he said sniffing for the last time and throwing it somewhere.

"How about you?" She don't know but she feel weird, she still hope the Ian she know back then will return. She just missed the past Ian she know.

"You don't give a f**k about me, stay that way" He said as he passed by her, probably walking back to his room.

She was left there in the garden, she chose to stay for a bit and enjoy the refreshing wind.

She thought about all that happened and that's when he popped out of her mind, 'How is he?'

She felt so much guilt about what she did, she don't want this to happen but lust clouded her and Justin was there.

Even if it was all just a no string attached, she still feel guilty. But he's a playboy, she guess he'll find another girl who'll provide what he needs. That's where their relationship begun anyways. But still, she can't get him off her mind.

She sighed and decided to go back to her room and let the tiredness from all that happened eat her to sleep.

°°°

IT'S BEEN days that she stayed in Ian's place, she haven't had a chance to go home to her parents place.

Every time she tried to approach Ian, he is busy or he's out of Jeju. There was one time she tried to sneak out but she was guarded, she don't even have her phone on her.

It's so boring, everyday she would only sleep, eat, and back to sleep. And today, Ian is in Seoul.

Seoul ...

"Crap!" she burst loudly while sitting in the garden watching as the trees dance to the flow of the wind.

She need to go back to work, but how? She have to tell Ian, but what if he won't let her go back?

"Eottoke?" She bit her lips trying to think hard what to do.

"What are you doing?"

She screamed surprisingly, she hold her chest and turned to the person who just spoke "Aish jinjja! You startled me!" She groaned glaring at him.

Ian just stood at the entrance of the garden, holding a bag in his right hand with his brows furrowed.

She exhale and calm herself seeing his face, "You're here?"

"What are you thinking? You didn't even heard me arriving? Are you planning on sneaking out again, woman?" He asked still brows furrowed.

"Aniyo!" She fully disagree shaking her hands.

"Don't even try" He said and walked out of the garden.

Evening came, she was just in her room giving her time on thinking a way on how to convince Ian to let her go back to work.

Suddenly a knock interrupted her thoughts "Miss, dinner is ready. Mr. Yu is already waiting for you" the maid said.

She jumped off the bed and stomped her feet, she don't want to eat with him. But the maid keep knocking annoyingly, she was about to open the door when an idea came up in her mind.

"Bingo!" She grinned, walked back to her bed and shouted "I'm not hungry!"

She smilingly pat her head just like patting a dog for doing a good stunt, she waited for a while and then started counting of " 3 ... 2 ... 1"

The door to her room swing open revealing the angry Ian, she then quickly lay down on her bed and touch her stomach curling.

"I don't f*****g want to wait ..." Ian stopped mid sentence seeing her curling on her bed.

Ian ran towards her and sat on her bed, he move some of her hair that is covering her face "Mwo? What happened? Are you hurt?"

"Eomma! Eomma!" Roselle kept calling her mom, making Ian fidget - don't know what to do.

"Eomma? Wait! I'll call your mom, where are you hurt? Tell me" Ian asked rapidly as he grab his phone and dial the number of her mom.

He talked over and tell her mom to come over and after a while ended the call "I'll call a doctor, wait here okay?" Ian said and walked out of her room.

She peeks to see if he is gone at all and he did, she started giggling "I knew it, it will always work"

She waited for her mom to come but it was already passed 1 hour but she haven't arrived yet until she feel asleep without knowing.

She just woke up when she felt a soft hand touching her face, she slowly open her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, it was Justin who was touching her face softly.

"Are you still in pain? Your mom can't come, maybe tomorrow" he said still his hand on her face.

"Aren't you angry?" She asked. The last time they met, his eyes was full of anger. What happened? Why is he suddenly here? And Ian let him?

He shook his head making her smile weakly "I'm sorry" she whispered.

He didn't say anything, he just looked at her and the next time she know his face is already inches away from her.

He kissed her softly and Roselle can't help but to close her eyes and respond but as soon as she open her eyes, the image of Justin turned into Ian.

She pushed him away from her "What are you doing here?" she asked eyes wide open.

He didn't say anything, instead his face came near her face again wanting to kiss her again but she avoid him.

She turned her face sideway making him stop, he sighed and said "Just let me kiss you Rosie"

Roselle turned to face him hearing sincerity in his voice, she stared at his gentle eyes.

"Let me go back to Seoul" she whispered making his gentle eyes turned back to flames of anger.

"You wanna go back to your boy toy?!" He said angrily "I won't let you go back there Rosie, I WONT!" Ian strangled her neck angrily, his eyes was burning with fire.

"I won't, I just wanna work" she tried reasoning out, gasping for air as she hold Ian's arm.

Ian let go of her and was about to distance himself from her but she pull back his neck and kissed him on the lips "I won't, I promise. I just wanna work, give me another chance" she said softly pleading.

Ian stared at her intently, contemplating if he'll let her. He peek a kiss again and said "This is your last chance Rosie, don't try my patience" he said and walked out of her room.

When she saw him vanished in her room, she wipe her lips roughly.

"Douchebag" she whispered.
