CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Chapter Seventeen

//EUNJEE

"Someone needs your lovely presence in the Presidents office" Doc Kim teases me before handing me a note that was under my name. I read the rest of the note and true enough I was being invited to the presidents office. For what you ask? It doesn't really say only that the president would really love to see me.

"What does he want with me now?" I asked doc Kim, hoping she might know the answer.

"Well for starters. Did you already told him your not going to that dinner he invited you?" she asks

"Oh God I totally forgot about that. I havent said anything to him yet." I said

"And that is your answer my friend! I suggest you go now before he gets you himself" She teases leaving me behind.

I was still left thinking what to do, but right now i dont really have any other choice than just go and finish this ordeal.

I finally reached the Presidents office and when his secretary saw me he immediately greeted me and told me to wait for awhile before going in, he called for who i assume the president and told him I was waiting outside. He puts down the phone and intructs me that President Lim is waiting for me.

I knock the door in front of me and I heard a faint come in before I opened the door. The President was seated on his chair doing his paperworks and when he saw me enter he stood up walking towards the sofa set in front of his table.

"Sit. I've been expecting you" he points to the sit opposite to him and i followed bowing to him in the process. His secretary came with two cups of coffee placing it in front of us but since it was just pure black coffee i didnt really touch it. I still like my coffee with a lot of milk or cream. "I see your not a black coffee kind of woman?" President Lim points out drinking his own cup of coffee.

"Not really. I like my coffee sweet and creamy" I feel nervous now that im facing him on the brighter side he looks really fashionable for someone who works inside a big corporation. As much as i know, he doesnt come here often only if its really important his usually in his main office where all the work is really serious. His looks younger and if you see him on the street you wont even think he owns and manages a big company.

"Arent you wondering why i asked you to be here today?" He asks me leaning to his seat

"Well for starters I know I havent given you any answer regarding the invitation you gave me the other time we encountered" i answered

"Well...would you consider having dinner with me?" He asks

"I have to be honest. You are a great guy sir and if I have any other choice i would really love to join you in dinner but..." he smiles

"Of course theres a but"

"I cant. Cause Im actually married and its already really complicated so I cant deal with anything else right now." I finally admitted because he'd probably figure it out sooner, its better that he hears it from me.

"Well, not to burst your bubble but i already knew that. I asked you to dinner to give you a chance to actually tell me the whole truth before I learned it from somebody else. I do own this hospital and i sure do care for all my staffs. You guys bring me money and its only right that I atleast make a background check to each of my Doctors and Medical staff." He explains making my mouth dry and me speechless

"As for you getting married, i also know who your husband is and dont worry i wont say anything about that cause i know how both our reputation can get ruined." He stands up then goes to his table and takes folder. He comes back to me and hands me the folder taking a sit in front of me. "As you know, your little secret can ruin both my reputation and your husbands popularity and since your husbands CEO is one of my good friend I decided to keep everything a secret only in one condition. You have to come anytime and everytime i ask you to come and you have to personally treat anyone i ask you to treat. Everything you have now can stay as it is and not only that, i'm offering you to move to one of our vacant apartments near the hospital. Since your secret causes a great value to my company, it may hurt ky reputation but it can surely boost my companies sales but im choosing to stay quiet because im that good of a person and I do rsspect your work. Follow my commands and ill give you your freedom. Ill even raise your salary. You can still work at your husbands company as their clinical doctor but when I call you, you have to come immediately or else i'll release your little secret to the media." He smirks making me angry and furious after hearing all his offer "Who know what will happen to Mr. Tuan if his fans learn his married? Im sure it will he catastrophic"

"I now know how you've become so great with your work. You really know how to manipulate the things and people you can use." He looks at me with a smirk on his face that i am more than willing to erase but cant "this is blackmailing and it goes against all the things i signed for"

"You're right this is beyond what you have signed for but its your fault too. I do believe that when i recreuited you, you were just a single doctor who would do everything to reach her dream and with a good heart i gave you an oppotunity and sure do hell you grabbed it and now that your secret is out, you have to face the consequences and keep your little dirty secret up your pants." He whispers "lets not make this big, will you sign the contract or i can just tell my good friends in the news department how one idol decided its better to become unfaithful to his wife than lose all his fans." He finishes handing me a pen. I looked at the contract once again and sure enough everything was listed in there. I was scheduled to move next week to the new apartment that is very near to my place, i even have a raise in salary and it also say that I can use the company card whenever i want as long as I follow every command coming from thr president without question.

I didnt have a choice, its either i ruin Marks career or i save it by being one of Kang Jins slave, well im closer to that anyways. I signed the papers making sure that I have my own copy just incase the evil guy in front of me rats me out. I know im doing this for good and for Mark. I dont want to become the cause of his downfall. I gave the other copy to President Lim and he gets it before offering his hand for me to shake. I doubted for a second but still took his hand and went on my way. Well I was about too when he stops me.

"Dont forget to take you new card from my secretary. He already prepared everything for you." He instructs before letting me leave. I approached his secretary and sure enough he gave me a new credit card and also the apartment keys.

"If you need anything else you can always approach me" he tells me making me smile "My names is Ji soo. Call me anytime" he smiles making me bow and went on my way.

I looked at my new card and sighed putting it inside my pocket. Im sure im not going to use it anyways or maybe I can so I could altleast make revenge by making use a lot of his money. I kept walking towards our lounger area so I could keep my new card and the contract i have with President Lim which is still making me mad but I know i dont have any other choice but stay still and follow. He is still a powerful person and no matter how high Mark is right now with his career he can make him go down with just a snap of his fingers. I feel like crying but i know i cant, i have to be strong if I want to pull through this wreck.

I reached the lounge and saw Kim resting there with the others. She saw me and the things im holding she didnt ask for more information only that she pointed me to get inside the room reservesd for us to take naps and rest as she follows behind me. She first looked at the beds and good enough because they were all empty, she closes the door and looks at me again.

"Did he fire you?" She suddenly asks

"WHAT?!...No" i answered putting the papers inside my bag "If its something its like he just promoted me" i told her making her cross her arms. "Well he gave me a new credit card and a raise in salary. Also im moving to the vacant apartment at the building your staying" Yeah, Kim noona leaves in that apartment building also. All medical staff i know anyways. Some of them are renting the place or they bought it from the original owners who once worked here.

"WHAT?!!!!! Are you his girlfriend now?!!! WHAT WITH THE SUDDEN NEW THINGS???" Kim noona was getting frustrated that shes now shaking me

"Stop. Im not and its more of like a slave" i told her everything that happened because one i trust her and two if im going to face this problem i atleast need a friend who i can count on.

"That dirty little sleek dumbass" shes mad " i cant believe his doing this. His is so using this as a leverage." She sighs patting my shoulder " what did you even do from your past lives for you to suffer like this?" She teases

"For the record. I can actually get reach from the salary im going to receive and also. He did say that ill get my freedom once I follow his commands" i remind her

"Well. What about Mark? Will you tell him about this?"

"I dont know. Now that everything is fine between us. I dont want to ruin the little time we have for each other by worrying and fighting." I honestly told Kim noona because thats how i truly felt.

"Man! Your life sucks. Good thing you have me as a friend. Come on. Lets spend something on that card of yours. Im hungry and your treating me for lunch" she exclaims making me laugh a little bit

"Noona. Thanks" she looks at me before ruffling my hair and head locking me. "Noona my hair" i complained while she kept doing what shes doing on my head.

I feel scared but at the same time i know that i still have someone whom I can count on while im here. Although I still need to decide whether i should say something about this to Mark or just leave it be. If he learns about this im sure that he'll get mad but if i dont tell him and if he learns about to somebody else how am i going to explain it to him?

God all of this are making me frustrated, please do help me and to whoever is up there hearing my cries please do help me.
