Bab 17: Ghost
"Since it's late you can stay in my place tonight, don't go back to your dorm." Shin removed his black coat and covered it to her, his deep and magnetic voice was filled with warmth.
Yeri would have agreed if he said it minutes ago but now, hmph, she's not willing!
"No need, I can stay at a nearby hotel, or else, it would be really hard to explain if someone might think I badly want to sleep with him."
Shin chuckled, "Hotels aren't safe in this downtown area, do you even have money and ID with you?"
Yeri wasn't really planning to go to a hotel but back home, taxis should be everywhere even at this late hour. "Then I'm going home, goodbye!"
"I'll take you back." Shin tried to take her hand but she hissed at him, "You actually hissed at me, are you a cat?"
"I dare you to stop me, I'm not nice when I'm tired!" Yeri huffed in annoyance, her cheeks bulging and her big eyes squinted.
"..."
Shin couldn't help but lightly laugh feeling helpless, is she supposed to look menacing?
"Okay, I accept your dare!"
The next second she was carried princess-style and stuffed in the passenger's seat before she could protest.
Yeri "..."
Shin naturally helped her with the seat belt, moved to the driver's side, and shortly drove out.
The mood was sealed in silence, no matter how aggrieved Yeri felt it was useless against sleep.
Shin also noticed her sulking while yawning from time to time so he shifted his attention to the road, letting her rest.
---
When Yeri woke up the sun was already up and she was greeted by the unfamiliar bed and ceiling.
The spacious room looked elegant with black and grey walls, a high ceiling, and stately furnishings.
In less than a month, she woke up in a stranger's bed twice but this time, the layout doesn't appear to be a hotel room.
Yeri didn't want to think too much when she just woke up, went to the bathroom, and washed her face.
Going out, just next to the bathroom door was an immaculate walk-in closet full of clothes.
It was then that Yeri realized her dress had changed to a comfortable white sleeve shirt.
Who changed her clothes?
"Let's wait till you get older?" Yeri imitated what Shin said last night and muttered, "Tsk, how would I know if you didn't take a peek under the cover while I was sleeping?"
Sizing the shirt, Yeri assumed it must belong to Shin Keir judging from the luxurious material, perhaps it was tailored.
Moreover, the distinctive bergamot and the subtle musky scent of the shirt were the same familiar scent exuding from him the first time they met and when she carried her last night.
Yeri also hastily looked around the room, from the things in the bathroom and well-organized walk-in closet, she was almost certain she slept in his bedroom.
It was so easy to climb Shin Keir's bed?
Ahem!
Yeri patted her heart unconsciously thinking she just committed profanity and desecrated the nation's dream husband.
If those women who coveted Shin Keir heard her...Yeri suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
No, no, no, she's not a part of the army and has no intention of joining the battlefield, if any, she is nothing but a passerby.
That's it, a passerby!
Growl...
It's time to prioritize her rumbling stomach, aside from the orange juice at the birthday party she didn't eat any.
Yeri never thought she would spend a night in Shin Keir's place, blame the car seat since it felt so comfortable, after all, it was a Lamborghini.
Going out, the villa has an open space layout so it wasn't constricted and difficult to find people.
Yeri tip-toed as she walked along the hallway, hearing someone's loud, irate voice.
In the living area, Shin was sitting wearing a plain black shirt and black pants while looking through some documents, there was an open laptop on the table and a warm cup of coffee.
A man could be seen pacing back and forth, incessantly running his mouth.
"I always knew you don't want me to go back because you're afraid I'll threaten your position, but to ruin my reputation? Shin Keir, I really didn't expect you to stoop so low!" Hadi was so angry his chest was heaving up and down.
After his transfer to the head office was finalized, Hadi Keir was so eager to show off his abilities only to find out he was transferred to what he believed was the most insignificant department, customer service.
Worst, he's not even the department leader or team leader but just a mere assistant team leader!
If that wasn't enough humiliation, Hadi noticed that there were more and more people looking at him wrongly, he had to bribe someone and it turned out his past offenses were leaked, clearly written on his HR file!
"Retract it, I'm telling you retract it otherwise I would have Grandpa deal with you! It's already ridiculous enough that you put me in that insignificant department when I'm a Keir!"
"What to retract? Didn't you approve the file yourself?" Shin took a sip of his coffee, full of indifference.
Hadi Keir was red in anger and embarrassment, is this bastard implying he was the idiot? How would he know the file was all-unlocked?
As expected, this bastard, Shin Keir couldn't be trusted!
With a face full of hatred and resentment, Hadi Keir pointed at Shin Keir about to continue his incoherent ranting when his peripheral view caught a white figure with long black hair.
"Ahhhhhhhh ghost!!!!!"
Hadi Keir was beyond scared his eyes almost popped out as he banged on the coffee table, fortunately, Shin swiftly grabbed his laptop but the cup fell and shattered.
"You- you- you did you see that, w-who was that woman?!"
Shockingly, Hadi still had some little dignity left and didn't jump on Shin Keir, although he unconsciously tried to grasp the latter's hand but was mercilessly kicked.
Hadi staggered and sprawled on the floor but he couldn't be bothered to complain just pointing at the entrance hallway on the upper floor.
"I'm not lying, there was really someone over there!"
"Have you performed enough?" Except for a momentary look of disgust, Shin remained indifferent looking at Hadi as if he were a deranged clown.
This time, Hadi gradually recovered but his sight dared not wander. "You bastard who did you murder, why is she haunting you?!"
"Why are you so sure it was me, was I the one who saw her?"
Hadi "..."
F*ck, no matter how much of a scumbag he is, he hadn't committed any murder!
Shortly, footsteps echoed giving Hadi goosebumps.
A well-dressed old man walked in.
"Young Master Keir, is there another guest? I seemed to have heard a frantic scream from a lady, and did something broke?"
The lady~
Hadi's face darted from pale to red, who the hell are you calling a lady?!
It was a normal reaction!
"Butler Hong, I'm pretty sure I just saw a woman in the second-floor hallway."
Butler Hong was taken aback, "This old man has served both Master Keir and the Young Master for years but I had never seen even a shadow of a woman in this house, if what you said is true then thank you for the blessing, I can only hope my young master will soon meet his wife, but was it necessary to scream?"
Hadi didn't know where to put his face and angrily spat out, "You're old, you heard it wrong!"
Since the bastard Shin Keir is allergic to women and the old man also ascertained, then what he saw was really a ghost?
Hadi shuddered at the thought of it, no matter what his reason for going there, he no longer wanted to stay in a place with lurking ghosts in broad daylight!
Besides, when did a ghost become a blessing?
"Have you performed enough?" Shin repeated with the same tone and expression.
Hadi "..."
If not for Butler Hong's presence, Hadi would thought time had regressed.
This sh*t!
"You better wait for Grandpa, this isn't over yet!" Hadi patted his butt.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but give Shin Keir a scrutinizing look from head to toe not understanding why such a rigid and boring bastard could attract many women, now he even attracted a female ghost!
After Hadi hurriedly strode out, an AI robot cleaned up the messy floor caused by the shattered cup.
"Young Master, I think the lady is awake." There was a hint of glee in Butler Hong's voice.
Late last night, like Hadi, he was also beyond shocked not because of a ghost but because his Young Master suddenly brought home a woman, even letting her stay in his bedroom.
For years, Butler Hong was aware of Master Keir's frustration trying to set up his son on different blind dates but all went awry.
It came to the point that Master Keir no longer cared about the woman's status and family background as long as she was clean, had morals, and good education but unfortunately, that incident happened and no woman dared to approach Shin Keir since then.
