BXBX NOVEL Chapter 94 - Interested In His Mother Not Him
Country A; PK Company Car
Eun-Sun couldn\'t hide the surprised look in her eyes when they arrived Country A. She has always heard tales of the beautiful city and it\'s amazing people, and she has always wished to go there, but now here she was in that very same city, which had a different air to it. It was so beautiful.
Dan-Han\'s lips curled up when he saw the amused look on her face. No matter how tough she tried to be, she was still a normal girl who\'s eyes lit up in the presence of beautiful things and sceneries. She also had this look when she saw his private plane at the airport. Even though she had tried to hide it, he had seen it. Her expressions made him feel happy and light at heart. He wanted to do more of these kind of things for her, as long as he saw those beautiful eyes of hers lit up just the way they are now.
He made a mental note to take her on her tour before they head back home.
"President Lee, your mother is calling" Secretary Chang-Wok spoke from the passenger\'s seat. Hearing that Mrs Lee was calling Eun-Sun suddenly felt a pang of guilt in her heart. She had promised to go visit Mrs Lee during the weekend but she was yet to fulfill her promise. The woman has been good to her and she wanted to show her appreciation.
Dan-Han reluntanctly received the phone from his secretary and answered the call.
"Hello mother" He spoke in his usual casual tone.
"Hello son, how are you?" Mrs Lee asked.
"I\'m fine, and you?"
"I\'m okay. I just dropped by at your office to check up on you and my sweet girl Eun-Sun but i heard you traveled, and she is also not around. I can\'t even reach her phone. They said you assigned her a new task. So I decided to call you and ask, since no one knows where you\'ve kept her. Dan-Han hope you\'re not maltreating her? " Mrs Lee asked with a deep frown.
Why would he maltreat her? She was the one bullying him with her fierce attitude.
Dan-Han looked at Eun-Sun who was also staring at him, more like she was staring at his phone. She was interested in his mother and not him? What a silly girl.
"Ms Eun-Sun is here with me. We\'re going for some work out of town, but she\'ll be back in the evening"
"Really?" Mrs Lee exclaimed. She was surprised to hear that. Dan-Han took a woman on one of his field trip? And it was her sweet little girl. This was great news.
Dan-Han could hear the excitement in his mother\'s voice, but he didn\'t understand what she was being happy about. Was she that happy because Eun-Sun was with him? Does she by chance have some hidden agenda for them?
"Yes mother" Dan-Han replied.
"Can I talk to her?" Mrs Lee chirped.
Dan-Han stared at Eun-Sun for a couple of seconds before handing the phone to Eun-Sun, who looked like she was about to rob him of his phone just to speak with his mother.
"Here" He said handing her the phone.
Eun-Sun quickly reached for the phone and pressed it close to her ears.
"Auntie?"
"Eun-Sun dear, how are you?" Mrs Lee asked, excitement hinting all over her voice.
"I\'m fine and you? Are you taking good care of yourself?" Eun-Sun asked with concern. She was feeling guilty for not calling her earlier to check up on her even though she hasn\'t kept to her promise of visiting her and hanging out with her. Mrs Lee had asked her to come visit so they could go out and spend time together, and Eun-Sun had willingly agreed. She couldn\'t say no to the woman who had made her dreams come true, and who unfortunately was about to be snatched by the cold hands of death.
The smile in her eyes dimmed when she thought about it. Life was indeed cruel. It always took the nice people leaving the bad ones behind to wreck more evil in this world.
She took a quick look at the son who was oblivious about his mother\'s death sentence and she felt sorry for him.
"Stop nagging me. You\'re just like my son. But I can assure you that I\'m doing fine, even more than fine" Mrs Lee chirped. She was excited that for the first time in a very long time, her son has a woman by his side. And did she noticed he addressed her by her first name? Of course she did! Though he still used the honorifics, like his typical self, this was the first time in five years he called a woman by her first name.
That must mean something right? Is he showing some interest in her? Mrs Lee giggled to herself when she thought about Dan-Han having some sort of interest for Eun-Sun, who was such a sweet girl.
"That\'s good" Eun-Sun replied.
"Eun-Sun dear, is my son being nice to you? Is he giving you a hard time?" Mrs Lee had to ask. Her son might have some interest but he can be a little stucked up. Maybe she should help him right? She could sow some seeds of love in their hearts right? She squealed inwardly.
Eun-Sun glanced at Dan-Han briefly. She felt uncomfortable with her question. How was she supposed to tell her that her son was a devil, and that he was always tormenting her. Okay fine, maybe not always he has been good to her too, like that time when he took her home, and the other day when he had given her some hangover pills which were very effective and had saved her head from falling off, and this morning when he …
Eun-Sun shook head when she realized she was thinking too much about his good will. She wasn\'t supposed to do that at all.
"Yes" She nodded.
