YIHWA' POV
The next day I cooked lunch with Camilla, we talked a lot. Soon I find her comfortable and a genuine companion to talk with. I felt I could share anything though I wanted to but was afraid of the outcome.
"So do you love him ?"
She asked out of sudden which made me choke on my cola. While she was drawing out pasta into the dish from the pan.
"What ? How can I ? I'm a man !"
Within one flow I replied with shock in my tone. Camilla smirked and held my hand gently.
"Are you still in this illusion that everyone here is taking you as a man ? Look at yourself you are so feminine even in menswear."
It was an electric shock for me.
"But Kang never said anything like that to me. How ?"
Camilla tucked her hands beneath the chin.
"Don't you think he is too stupid for holding such a high position in business world ? I bet he knew it from the start and just going with the flow."
I held my head between hands.
"Of course how could I assume that he is a stupid moron. He knew it.....but why he kept on being that way ?"
She tapped on my shoulder.
"Listen here sweety I think you are hiding something from him and he wants you to say that."
"Right. But if I don't want to share what if I don't want to rely and trust."
"Do you love him or not ?"
I starred into her flickering brown eyes who were filled with assurance.
"I don't know."
Though I felt something towards him but his yesterday's behaviour made me doubtful. Whether he was sincere or was just taking advantage of that 'keep man' contract.
"But I know you are dear to him. If not then he would've kicked you out a long ago. Ignore my harsh words."
Various thoughts were humming and buzzing in my mind when I heard Ellie's voice behind her were Mr Eduardo and Kang walking in our direction.
"Just talk to him. Trust me."
Camilla whispered.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was so embarrassing to sit with Kang acknowledging that he know everything. At the table I avoided his gaze as much as I could. But he became agitated and stretched his leg forward to tease me by pushing up his toes into my jeans from bottom under the table. I jumped into my place looking at the faces of others but luckily they were talking and no one noticed. Considering all the things again and placing them one by one Kang was treating me like a woman since the beginning of the everything.
But his father told me that he hated women and I personally witnessed his views too so why he let me stay, that is the main question which was bothering me a lot.
"Let's play jigsaw puzzle."
Eleanora dragged me towards her room. Camilla was right even her daughter saw through me at once. Wait...she was testing her daughter's sentence by questioning that !
Oh God and I spilled the beans so easily.
I spend two hours playing with that kid and personally I started to adore her. She was the light to her parents.
"Let's move Camilla"
Mr Eduardo strode inside Ellie's room while yelling. But stood on the entrance when he didn't see Noona.
"Oh I'm sorry where is Camilla ? I was looking for her, you should get dressed too. We are going out to show you around."
He elaborated and I heard Eleanora's loud YYAAYYY.
[An hour later]
"Ellie don't run too far honey."
As we stepped into the Central Park, NewYork. She ran as fast as she could, children you know.
I glanced back to hear Mr Eduardo's muffled voice while he instructed his daughter. Before coming here Noona gave him a face mask to cover like doctors wear. I accidentally barged into their room and saw the whole thing. Later on Noona explained with a wink that she doesn't want any other lady to see his husband. And guess what Mr Diego obeyed with any argue.
"Let's have a walk around."
Noona suggested and after walking around we sat on the bench in the shade near by. Kang was with us,quiet all the time. Only talking to Mr Diego, his eyes were guilty.
"Noona can I sit here"
I was zoned out when Ellie's sharp voice brought me back. And I saw no one else around me.
"Yes yes honey."
She was still calling me Noona, and I let her. After all what was the point of hiding now when everyone knew. She inspected my expressions and finally spoke.
"Are you angry with uncle Kang ?"
I was dumbfounded when that kid suddenly questioned. But maintaining composure I denied .
"No honey. We are on good terms."
She shook her head in NO with finger moving horizontally in front of my face. She was like a little detective.
"No you're lying. I saw when he is close by you move away. And he does the same thing."
I sighed finally accepting.
"Maybe honey."
She leaned on my arm and rested her face.
"You should talk to him. He is a good guy Noona."
Before I could reply she ran off on the call of her mother leaving me alone. When I saw Kang coming towards me. My body tensed up at once.
"I-actually I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to hurt you even a bit but I did. You are much more to me than just a care taker and definitely not a keep man. I'm sorry what I did yesterday."
He was kneeling with gaze lowered and everyone gathered around with loud "forgive him".
AndI nodded without amy pressure because I was already waiting for his apology.
