Chapter 36: Doppelganger
Dan-Han was at a loss as he continued to stare at her.
He didn't know who her boss was. When did her boss live here? But being as smart as he was, Dan-Han began to add two and two, and soon, he figured things out.
It dawned on him there could only be one possible explanation for this. She was his housekeeper, and In-Ha had to be the boss she was referring to.
His eyes flew wide open, but only for a moment because that expression passed away just as it came, and the next second, his face was back to his expressionless state.
Dan-Han couldn't believe what was happening right now.
She was the housekeeper? How incredulous was that!
Now he understood why In-Ha's description of the feisty housekeeper had reminded him of her. That was because they were the same.
As if he had been conjured, In-Ha, who had been patiently waiting to see the unexpected guest, finally appeared at the door. He was also surprised to see Eun-Sun at the door. He thought she had left a while ago.
Why was she back?
Did she change her mind and has finally decided to resign?
His eyes flew to Dan-Han, who was staring at the housekeeper with an inscrutable expression. His heart began to race as he thought about the things Dan-Han would do to him if she resigned.
He had warned him not to make a move on his housekeeper. What if he finds out that he had tried seducing her earlier?
Damn, that would be the death of him!
Eun-Sun heaved a silent sigh of relief when In-Ha showed up, but her heart was still thumping hard. She has been trying to find a way to get past this man and get her phone, which she had angrily forgotten.
Her heart was beating so hard that she was beginning to fear for her ribs, but all her anxiety were not reflected on her face. She kept her gaze as stoic as possible, almost matching Dan-Han's. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her squirm. Never!
Her pride won't let her! She was not the first person that was indebted on the planet. So he should give her a break and not stare her down like he was some devil.
"Why...why are you back?" In-Ha was the first to speak up, his eyes darting to Dan-Han as his heart thumped frantically.
"I left my phone and charger on the socket box," Eun-Sun said.
In-Ha almost passed out with joy when he heard her reply. 'Thank God,' he cried in his heart.
"Oh! Hold on, I'll get it," He offered and dashed into the house. His feet haven't moved as fast as they did now. He wanted her gone as soon as possible.
Dan-Han could come at him later for all he cares, but right now, he wanted Eun-Sun to leave. At least by morning, when she'll resume, Dan-Han must have gone to work. That was a plan. A good one, even though it didn't sound like it.
Standing and waiting in front of the cold devil, Eun-sun felt his piercing gaze on her, but she didn't dare to look back. She felt uncomfortable with his silence. However, she didn't want him to say anything to her because she didn't know what she would say back.
Why does his silence feel like he was plotting something against her?
Perhaps he didn't recognize her? She surreptitiously managed a peek at him.
No! She highly doubted that possibility. There was no way he wouldn't recognize her. It has been two weeks.
But it wouldn't be a bad idea if he did. That would give her enough time to work and raise the money.
Maybe she could pretend to be someone else. People had doppelgangers, right? But what was the possibility that her doppelganger was in the same city with her?
NONE!!
Or maybe she could act as a stray twin? That wasn't a bad idea. She mused. Guilt and fear clouded her mind and eyes.
She kept her gaze away from him as these thoughts went through her mind. If he was going to stay mute and act like he didn't recognize her, she'd gladly oblige and participate in this act. After all, it would be in her favor, and it was also her intention.
She was going to act like she didn't know him and there was no other solution at the moment.
After all, he seemed like her boss' friend, so he probably would be gone soon, and she wouldn't get to see him again. Hopefully.
But what if he asks In-Ha about her, and then he finds out that she worked there? What was she going to do then?
What if he comes and harrasss her every time?
Panic rippled through as she daringly took another peek at Dan-Han, who was still looking at her like he had something important going in his mind, and looking at her was helping him focus.
The girl was brazen. Dan-Han would give her that. He recognized her little act of pretense, and that amused him.
The petite girl was truly going to ignore him like she had not recognized him. He slipped his hands into his pocket and gave her undivided attention.
Two could play this game.
If she wanted to play, then he would gladly indulge her. He'll torture her till she comes running and begging.
Dan-Han took a step closer to her, his gaze intensely focused on her, but Eun-Sun instinctively stepped back. She dared not look at him, and her heart race increased again.
Dan-Han took another step closer, and Eun-Sun responded by stepping backward. Her eyes began a nervous dart. Pleased to break through her facade, Dan-Han smirked. He liked that she was now shaken up.
There, he thought she would feign that cold look and act like she wasn't scared. He wouldn't say he was disappointed because scaring people was his forte, not hers.
Dan-Han was about to take another step toward her when In-Ha returned with her phone and charger.
"Here you go." In-Ha breathed out suspiciously, and Dan-Han paid him a glare.
What was wrong with him? What bad timing he had. He irritably sighed.
They were stunned when Eun-Sun swiftly snatched her phone and charger from In-Ha's hand and sprinted away like a squirrel running for her dear life. Hell! She was.
Dan-Han watched her disappearing silhouette with intrigue. There was only one word on his mind. 'Tomorrow'.
He'll see her tomorrow and he'll see how she was going to escape.
Dan-Han turned to In-Ha, his gaze was piercing and suspicious, and In-Ha knew he was in trouble.
He waited for the questions to come, but to his surprise Dan-Han leisurely walked past him. Now, that he didn't expect that.
How strange.
Well, tomorrow was another day. Another day to see her.
