BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - Suggestion
Eun-Sun made her way into the company with a small smile etched on her face. She had a nice breakfast with Hei-Ran and the poor girl had told her all about what happened with her and her boss. Eun-Sun couldn\'t believe it. She didn\'t know if she should be grateful her mother despised her so much, at least that has saved her from having the boyfriend and husband hoading conversation with her mother.
Speaking about her, Eun-Sun realized she hasn\'t spoker to or seen her mother in a while now.
She had to send her some feeding money and also pay those mobsters who her mother was indebted to. Though she had made a resolution not to be overly bothered or affected by her mother\'s attitude towards her, she still had to provide for her. That was what a child was expected to do.
Eun-Sun had only walked past the security check in when she heard someone call her name. She turned to see secretary Chang-Wok beckoning on her.
This doesn\'t mean well. Seeing this guy only meant there was a message from that evil boss. Was he going to call her to come to his office now? What was wrong with that man? Couldn\'t he just let her be?
Eun-Sun walked up to him, and bowed. "Good morning sir"
"Good morning. The president would like to see you" He informed her, Eun-Sun narrowed her brows when she heard him.
Again? And so early? Why? That man must sure have a lot of free time on his hands. As the president wasn\'t he supposed to be busy with some work or something? Why was he calling her so early in the morning?
"Sorry to ask, but do you know why he\'s calling me? I\'m about to clock in..."
"I\'m sure you can ask him that when you see him" Chang-Wok curtly replied.
Eun-Sun looked at him, and sighed. This guy was another mini version of that devil.
"Okay"
"This way" Secretary Chang-Wok said directing her towards the president\'s private elevator, while Eun-Sun followed behind closely.
Eun-Sun walked behind him as they alighted the elevator. Chang-Wok asked her to go in after he had informed Dan-Han about her presence.
.....
Inside the office
"Good morning sir" Eun-Sun greeted the moment she walked into his office. Dan-Han was already going through some files as early as it was. With the intense and bored look he had on, he must have been working for a while now. She reasoned to herself. But why had he requested her presence so early in the morning if he was this busy? What new trick was he going to play on her again? He\'d rather mess with her than focus on all the issues the company had?
"Good morning" Dan-Han lifted his head and greeted back. He gulped when he saw how beautiful she was looked. He continued to gaze at her for some very long minutes and Eun-Sun became uncomfortable.
She awkwardly cleared her throat when Dan-Han stared for too long without saying anything.
Dan-Han snapped himself back to reality when he realized he has been staring for way too long. It wasn\'t his fault, she was the one who was stirring up alot of emotions inside of him.
"Take a seat" Dan-Han said and Eun-Sun obediently walked towards the seat in front of his desk, even though she\'d rather be at her office right now, burying herself with whatever work she could find. Just as she was about to sit her eyes caught sight of the document and blueprint on his desk, which he has been looking out.
It looked familiar. As a matter of fact it was more than familiar, she recognized it. It was the document of the Centenary project which was been built in country A. She has been studying the various ongoing projects at the company and she has discovered this was one of the company biggest ongoing project which the company was investing on.
Dan-Han caught her interest on the blue print and file. And he stared at her quietly, not disturbing her.
Eun-Sun felt the gaze on her and she realized what she has been doing. She felt embarrassed for doing something like that.
She cleared her throat and said, "I\'m sorry" It was wrong of her to look at stuffs she wasn\'t supposed to look at, mostly her boss\' files. She wasn\'t supposed to look at the president\'s files but she just couldn\'t help it, the details on it caught her attention.
"Have any interest in this?" Dan-Han asked her.
"Huh?" Eun-Sun was confused. She had heard him clearly but she didn\'t understand why he was asking her that. Was he going to let her have a look if she agreed? No, she didn\'t think so. This man was not that kind, and this was outside her work description.
"Do you want to take a proper look?" Dan-Han asked surprising her.
Sincerely, Dan-Han didn\'t really have a good reason for calling her into his office, he simply wanted to see her this morning and that\'s why he had called for her. He would have found a silly reason to tell her why he requested her presence this morning. But seeing her showing interest in his work he\'d as well use it to keep her for the time being, at least before the time for his outsite inspection.
"Can I?" Eun-Sun asked with uncertainty. She wouldn\'t lie, she found the details of the plan intriguing. Even while she was studying the available documents which she has been able to lay her hands on during her personal research, she had always wanted to see more. And now there was a great opportunity to feed her curiosity.
"Sure" Dan-Han replied as he turned the plan towards her, since that was what she had her attention more focused on.
Eun-Sun hungrily focused her attention on the plan placed before her, while Dan-Han looked at her. He observed her every reaction and he could tell that each expression held an opinion. After several minutes of intent study of the plan has elapsed, she looked at Dan-Han with a inscrutable gaze.
"Mister Lee, can i ask you something?" She cautiously asked. She didn\'t want to say anything but she couldn\'t hold herself back from asking.
"Sure" Dan-Han replied as he lolled back on his seat. This was the first time she was talking to him without sounding forced or pissed, and her eyes looked calm than usual. He liked it.
Eun-Sun looked at him for a while before asking anyway. "Why are the hills being marked off from the original plots designated for the project?" This has been a question on her mind since she first came across this project.
"Because the designers and engineers had said that it was not usuable and unsafe" He replied.
"So they are trying to chuck away that piece of land?" Eun-Sun asked in horror, surprising Dan-Han.
"Not really, they\'re still trying to come up with something to do with it. But if there isn\'t, we\'ll have to let it go" Dan-Han informed her.
"Let it go?" Eun-Sun could not believe it. "But this is the main center of attraction in the project. It\'s what makes the scenery perfect for the project"
"Well I do think so too. But I haven\'t been able to come out with something tangible for it, and that\'s why it\'s here" He said pointing his chin at the document.
"So can I give a suggestion?" Eun-Sun asked.
"You have a suggestion for this?" Dan-Han asked.
"Yeah" She nodded, she knew she wasn\'t supposed to say something about this, her input might be insignificant but she wasn\'t going to let that piece of beautiful nature go to waste, simply because some bunch of people couldn\'t find a use for it. "But it\'s only a suggestion" Eun-Sun pointed out. It was up to him to consider it or leave it.
"Okay let\'s hear it" Dan-Han said, intently looking at her.
"So I was thinking since the topography of the mountain isn\'t that flat and it\'s a bit precarious. Maybe we could dig in a channel for all the streams, and some cliff houses could be built on these hills. Because they\'re what makes the scenery look perfect. I Know including a cliff house isn\'t part of the plan, but we must agree that it would put these hills into use and it would attract more people" Eun-Sun explained, while Dan-Han paid rapt attention to her. He looked up at her with admiration in his eyes. It was this moment he remembered when she had told him that she was more capable than all his staffs in his company and that she was an invaluable asset. He couldn\'t agree with her more.
Now he understood her words, because what she just said was a brilliant idea which didn\'t even occur to him.
Eun-Sun paused when she noticed how Dan-Han was staring at her.
"I\'m sorry Mr Lee, pardon me if I\'ve said too much" She apologized. She shouldn\'t have said too much.
Dan-Han didn\'t say a word and just continued to look at her.
"Ms Eun-Sun how much would you like to go on a trip with me?"
