So What If I Want All Your Money

"I mean...do you not know him?" Noah pointed at his boss.

At least, if she didn't know him, she'd know his boss. Everybody knew his boss. Everyone.

"Anyo." Emily shook her head negatively.

(A/N: anyo is another shortened form of no)

"Y-yo-you truly don't?" Jude stuttered.

"Ani." Emily shrugged her shoulders.

'oh my, which planet is she from?' Noah blinked his eyes rapidly.

"But...." Emily pursed her lips.

"But?..." Noah stared at her with rapt attention.

'maybe she finally recollects.' he thought.

"I think I've seen him somewhere before..." Emily narrowed her eyes and placed her right hand on her chin as if thinking deeply.

"Hmmmmm....." She hummed thoughtfully.

"Think deep..." Noah cheered her on.

"Ahhh!...Now I remember!" Emily grinned and snapped her fingers.

"So?.." Noah grinned at her expectantly.

"Hmn...I think I've seen him at Quick Wash before." Emily clicked her tongue.

"Quick Wash?...what is Quick Wash?" Noah stared at bewilderedly.

Joel arched up his brows.

"It's a laundry." Emily grinned.

"You work there right?" She turned to face Joel.

"hurgh hurgh hurgh" Noah coughed in astonishmest as his heart got shattered into pieces.

He stole a quick glance at his boss as he felt the room go cold from his boss' static body.

"Why is there so much cold?.." Emily asked rhetorically, looking around.

"The fan is not on..." she twitched up her lips and wrapped her right arm around her body.

Noah bit his lower lip, staring awkwardly at his boss as his aura grew even colder.

"Does boss look like someone who work in a laundry?" Noah quickly asked.

"...." Emily pouted and stared at the god...

'he looks so handsome. His tuxedo, well ironed,... broad shoulders. Hmmmmm,he definitely doesn't work in a laundry.' Emily shook her head.

"Hmmn, so if he doesn't work there, who is he then?" She looked up at Noah.

"Actually,boss is the C..." Noah's voice trailed off as he noticed his boss' body go stiffer.

'does he not want me to tell her?...' he rubbed his sweaty palms.

"Errr..., I'll go ask the doctor when you can be discharged." Noah quickly walked towards the door, excusing himself from the very tensed atmosphere.

He wasn't ready to get beheaded by his boss.

Emily returned her gaze to the handsome mute god and continued to state at him.

'is he really deaf and dumb?' she thought as he also watched her with keen intent.

"You are free to go home." Noah announced, grinning as he walked back into the ward.

"Really?" Emily raised her shaggy brows at him.

"Yeah. The doctor says you can come back after a few weeks to get rid of the bandage and the crutch." Noah replied, smiling sweetly at the pretty lady.

"So, hum... how do I get home?" Emily stared blankly at him.

"Your family members." Joel spoke up for the first time, his face expressionless.

"Uwa!" Emily wowed, turning her head to him.

"Di-di-did he j-j-jus-just talk?!" She looked up at Noah.

"Uhn." Noah nodded his head.

"Uwa!" Emily smiled.

"But my family...they don't live around here." She pouted, her smile suddenly vanishing.

"He'll take you home as compensation then." Joel spoke up calmly but coldly.

"But ... that's not enough compensation..." Emily scratched her hair.

Joel snapped his fingers at Noah. Knowing what his boss meant, Noah walked out of the ward quickly and in a short while, he was back with a cheque book and a pen in his hand. He filled in some things and tore out a cheque which he handed over to Emily with the pen.

"You can fill in any amount you want." Noah smiled at her.

"Mwo?!...any- amount?" Emily blinked her eyes rapidly as she stared at the blank cheque.

"Nde." Noah clicked his tongue.

(A/N: nde means yes)

He clasped his hands together, "Boss here is a veeeeery generous man."

"Ahhh...so, if I fill in thirty billion won, he won't get affected?" Emily asked, pointing at Joel.

"Animnida." Noah grinned.

(A/N: animnida is a formal way of saying no.)

"Huh?" Emily opened her mouth.

"Hmmmmn, how about....one trillion won?" Emily asked, staring keenly at Noah.

"I can write that right?" she asked, licking a side of her lips as she eyed the cheque.

"Errrr...nde." Noah nodded his head hesitantly.

(A/N: nde means yes)

"Ahhhhhh..." Emily nodded her head slowly.

"What about one thousand trillion won?" Emily dipped the pen in her mouth and chewed on the lid.

"Eynn?" Noah grimaced, staring astonishedly at Emily.

Joel stared blankly at Emily as she stared keenly at Noah.

"Umn." He replied in a low nasal voice.

"Mbo?" Noah quickly turned to his boss.

'even though that amount of money means nothing to you, and you have much more than that, it's too much to give to a stranger... one thousand trillion won is another person's net worth...' Noah bit his lip as he stared at his unbelievable boss.

Of course he didn't say any of that out, or he'd get his ass fired.

"You can have that amount if you want." Joel stared expressionlessly at Emily, paying no attention to his assistant.

'....who exactly is this man... he must be really really rich.' Emily thought, sizing Joel up with her eyes.

She decided to try one more time.

"So...what if I want all the money in your bank account?" She blurted out, staring very keenly at the handsome god before her.

"Huh?..ahh..you can't." Noah stuttered.

'is this lady a gold digger?..' he grimaced.

"It's bank accounts, and you can have all the money." Joel replied, staring at Emily unwaveringly.

"Mbo?!!!" Noah turned to his boss with disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

'is he crazy?..he's going to hand all his money over to a woman he doesn't even know..' Noah felt like hitting his boss' head and resetting his brain.

But doing that would not only get his ass fired, it would also get him locked up in the prison for the rest of his miserable life.

'b-ba-bank accountsss? ...like with an S?!!.' Emily almost threw up.

'he must be very very very rich!' she bit her lip.

Emily stared intently at Joel for a while and sighed.

"I was joking." She twitched up her lips.

'you didn't disappoint me.' one side of Joel's mouth curled up in a smirk.

He knew that she was joking. He was simply only playing along.

"Aigoo." Noah breathed out a sigh of relief.

(A/N: aigoo means OMG. It's used to show surprise, relief, shock or irritation. In Noah's case, he was relieved.)

"I don't want any money." Emily tossed away the cheque.

"Eynnn?" Noah stared at her astonishedly.

'everyone wants money..." he thought.

"I don't want it." Emily shook her head.

"Wae?" Noah asked poutily.

(A/N: wae means why and it sometimes means what.)

Emily clicked her tongue. "Why do you rich people think money is everything... Tsk tsk tsk."

"What do you want then?" Noah asked.

"I live alone. And like this...." She paused, staring at her bandaged arm and leg. "...I can't live alone like this, it won't be convenient." she sniffed.

"So....erm...you are saying that..." Noah began to talk.

"Go live with your family." Joel cut in.

"I can't." Emily shook her head vigorously.

"Then?..." Joel arched up his brows, gazing coldly at Emily.

"Let me live with you till I'm healed up." Emily licked her lips feverishly as she stared at the statue-like god that whose cold gaze was piercing through her skin.

"As com-pen-sa-tion...." she added slowly.

"Nugu?" Joel furrowed his brows.

(A/N: nugu means who)

"Ummm,na." Emily stammered,pointing to herself.

(A/N: na means me)

"You can't." Joel waved her off.

He looked up at Noah, "take her to her house, give her money if she changes her mind."

He took a peek at his dazzling wrist watch and stood on his feet. He then took long strides towards the door.

Emily stared earnestly at his back. "Jebal."

(A/N: jebal means please)

Without looking back or even stopping for a second, Joel reached for the door knob, urned it and walked out of the ward.

Noah bit his lip as he watched the pretty pitiful lady on the hospital bed. He helped her get down from the bed and handed the crutch by the bedside over to her.

"Kamsahamnida." Emily let out a faint smile.

(A/N: kamsahamnida is a formal way of saying thank you)

She twitched up her lips as they walked out of the ward. "Errr, but I don't know your name..."

Noah smiled. "Ahhh... I'm Noah."

Emily returned his smile with a broad one. "Emily. I'm Emily."

Noah broke the silence as he drove out of the hospital. "Please don't be mad at boss."

Emily shook her right hand. "Ahhh, ani. I'm not mad at him."

"He's always like that. It's his personality." Noah sighed.

"Ahhhh...." Emily nodded her head thoughtfully.

Noah spent the rest of the drive receiving directions from Emily while she spent her's giving directions to him.

Emily pointed at a junction right before them. "You can drop me off here. I'll find my way home."

"Wae?... let me drop you at home." Noah protested.

"Aniii... it's okay here." Emily smiled hesitantly as Noah parked the car by the roadside.

Noah opened the door for her and watched her as get out of the car with inconvenience.

He smiled worriedly, "be careful."

"Nde." Emily smiled and closed the door with her right hand.

"You really don't want the money?" He asked.

"No..." She replied, smiling.

Noah thought for a while before nodding his head, "okay."

"Kamsahamnida." She bowed her head repeatedly as Noah drove off, waving at her.

She waited till the car was out of sight and sighed. "Huff..."

She turned around and headed to one of the places she worked at, Hot'n'Chilly.
