Mirae slowly opened the door to check if the bathroom was empty and once, she was assured that no one was in the bathroom, she gave a light kiss on James' cheek and ran out of the bathroom. James smiled at her and wore his pants. He also came out of the bathroom after making sure that no one was in the bathroom.
However, the person who was inside the cubicle next to theirs immediately covered their mouth in disbelief.
"Uncle likes Mirae? And they are gonna get married?" Song Jenny asked herself as she heard her Uncle James proposing Mirae inside the cubicle.
It was just unbelievable!
"Mirae liked Yeonjun so how was it possible for Uncle to like her and Mirae to like him back. She would be my Aunty if they get married… No! No way!" Thinking that the probability of them falling in love under such circumstances is extremely zero, Jenny shook her head.
"It is just some other Mirae not that Mirae!" She said to herself to calm down.
Soon, the talk was told to Yeonjun and he asked Jenny again and again to assure himself. There was no way he could tolerate Mirae as his aunt. No f*cking way at all!
So, after work was over, Yeonjun deliberately came to James' company to pretend that he had come to pick Jenny. However, his eyes only scanned for Mirae in the process and when he caught a hold of her, he pressed on the horn of the car and slowly trailed after Mirae.
Mirae noticed the car that was following her and even honking at her. She felt a little scared because she had come a little away from the company exit. When she was almost passing through the road walk, the car stopped beside her.
She flinched and took a glance at the car which had stopped nearby. The windows rolled down and she noticed James sitting inside. "Where are you going? Didn't I say you to wait?" Seeing that it was James, Mirae took a deep breath of relief and sat inside the car.
Sitting inside she hugged him. "Woah! What happened?" James pushed Mirae to an arm's length and observed her terrified face. "What is wrong, Mirae?" He pushed her falling hair behind her ear and rubbed the sweat which was forming on her forehead.
Mirae shook her head. She was really glad that it was James and not someone else.
"Nothing!" She smiled and held his hand.
"We will be going to my house today. Be prepared for what is to come." James leaned closer and whispered in Mirae's ear while fastening her seatbelt.
And he started driving. Occasionally, on the way, James would take Mirae's hand and kiss her fingers while looking at her. From her terrified state, he knew that Mirae got afraid of something and she was finding it difficult to speak.
So, to make her assured that she was safe with him, James would kiss her hand and indulge her into talking.
After a long drive, James stopped his car and honked at the closed gate. Hurriedly, two guards came and opened the huge black gate and James drove inside his area. He parked his car and stepped out. Mirae noticed the huge mansion which is usually shown in movies and which also belongs to rich men in front of her eyes.
While Mirae was taking in the view, James opened the door for her and offered her his hand to take. Mirae stepped out of the car holding James' hand and he took her inside his home.
Last time when Mirae had come, she hadn't noticed anything because she was so much in a daze with what had happened that day. And up of that, James was basically a stranger back then so, Mirae didn't give much heed to the house and tried to leave his place as quick as possible.
"Have a seat on the couch. I will get some water for you." James insturcted while walking inside the kitchen to get some water. Filling two glasses with cold water, he handed one to Mirae and drank the remaining one.
Mirae sat on one of the couches. She couldn't believe that the couch would be so soft and make her bounce on it. "Your house is really beautiful!" Now that Mirae felt safe, and calm after drinking the cold water, she complimented.
"Thank you!" James sat beside Mirae and patted her head. "More than my house, you are beautiful!"
As Mirae smiled upon hearing his words, he caressed her cheek and leaned forward to kiss on her lips. While kissing her lips, he took the glass from Mirae's hand and placed it on the nearby table.
"Shall we continue what we started?" James asked almost with a whisper.
Mirae slightly nodded and James pushed her down on the huge settee. He began to unbutton her shirt when his doorbell rang.
"Did... you call for someone?" Mirae asked with almost a baffled expression on her face. She was enjoying it so much that she didn't wanted it to stop.
James shook his head and got off from Mirae. He walked towards the main door and opened it.
"Jenny? Yeonjun? What brings you guys here at this time of the day?" There was nothing special for his niece and her husband to come at such a time to his house. And James felt rather awkward when he recognized the car which had been following him ever since, he had left the office till his home.
