Wounded: The Ordeals Of Lee Eun ha

Eun Ha? " the manager called, " Please take a menu to that table and get their request." deep down she would have wanted someone else to do it but this was the boss orders, who was she to reject. she took the menu and walked straight to the table, her heart was racing very fast, she couldn't phantom exactly why. good evening Sir, she said bowing her head politely as she offered the menu what would you like to have? they looked at the menu and pointed what they wanted, she went out from the table and brought the cocktail they had ordered, she turned back to leave when the voice of one of them stopped her in her tracks. "wait" her heart stopped for some split seconds and continued beating with difficulty. I know you, you're Mr Lee's daughter he said with and an evil grin that revealed his tobacco colored teeth. she froze as the tray she was holding dropped to the ground. "I was right, it's them" The restaurant on the ground floor was filled with people mostly the elites, some of them were tourist, others were there for a business meeting and others, conferences. the sound of the dropped tray caught the attention of most of them, making them glance at Eun Ha for some split seconds. He continued, The deadline is tomorrow evening don't forget that. Eun Ha had wanted to say something to them, perhaps, beg them but the words never left her throat. Eun Ha stood there for about two minutes, "will you get us our meal or will you just stand there?" the other muttered harshly. she knew they were evil men, above the law. falling into their trap was the most dangerous place a person could be. she resigned to begging for more time. one glance, Mu Chen could tell what was happening "X force" he whispered underneath his breath. they had quite a reputation and were feared by many. They feared no one and could illegally obtain what was theirs if necessary. He looked at the helpless young lady on the floor, he knew there was no way they'd let her go, no matter how much she begged. he didn't know this girl, yet he felt a need to protect her. he went out and waited in his car in the parking area. "Wait," he said with a deep voice. Chae won was surprised he would have sworn a few minutes ago that he was in a hurry to leave. The loan sharks finished their meal as she handed them their bills, "How ironic, we're paying for your service and you owe us," he said humorously as they both burst into laughter. Eun Ha felt a knife pierce her heart, she had never felt so much humiliation in her life. she followed them outside the building trying to plead with them for the last time to see if they'd cave in and give her more time but they just walked straight to the car and drove off. Eun Ha stood outside the hotel, in despair, her father was going to die, this men were ruthless, the cloud had darkened earlier, soon few drops of rain started falling, but she was in no hurry to leave as if it were possible for the rain to wash down all her pain, she stood outside staring blankly into thin air while it rained on her, soon her hair was separating into clustered strands, tear a freely flowed down her cheeks, she felt like screaming, she felt helpless, Just then she couldn't feel the raindrops on her skin she turned as her eyes met with a tall handsome young man holding a big black umbrella. Mu Chen looked at her sorrowful eyes, he could see the pain in her soul through them. "I know who they were, and I can roughly guess what it is" Eun Ha was confused, "what did he know? who was he? why is he being kind to me?" she asked one question after another in her head. "How much?" he asked with a king like voice. "10,000 dollars," she said as her lips trembled, "How did you...?" this time she was starting to get suspicious. I have an offer for you, I'll clear the debt but you'll carry my baby"

Li Muchen

Muchen swiftly raised his head and closed his laptop, he didn't realize his swift response was awkward till the end of his reaction.

"Speak," he said in his usual thick masculine voice, he was unsure of what to expect, he knew Chae Won wouldn't appear In Front of him if it wasn't urgent.

"She just lost her job... He said as he hesitated a little before speaking up.

The look Muchen had given him showed that he knew there was more to the story and that he really wouldn't come all the way to say she lost her job

" What...I meant to say is that she was sacked for stealing an art piece which was found in her locker" he said stuttering a little.

Muchen looked at him as if he was trying to sort and analyze the information that just hit his ears, he hadn't known her for a long time but he knew a lot about her, he wouldn't have allowed his plans of a surrogate mother to fall through if she didn't meet his expectations, she could never.

"Okay" he simply said

"Okay... Would you like me to do anything about this"

Yes drop groceries and drop some cash with it at her doorstep and I need you to investigate thoroughly the real culprit behind this, who did the setup and why

"Why would anyone target her?" he had no clue.

"I'll handle the rest"

he added after a brief moment of silence.

For some reason, he cared more for this girl which was unusual.

Chae Won was surprised but he was careful not to express his surprise, Big boss is going to go out of his way to look out for a mere waitress, each of his actions proved to Chae won that he was interested in this waitress, it wasn't just business

"If there is nothing else I'll take my leave now"

He managed to say as he bowed again and made his way through the door.

Muchen, opened his laptop to continue what he was doing, he was carefully examining the company's accounts. He closed the laptop in frustration as he could not concentrate, he couldn't get Eun Ha off his head,

"what is wrong with me ?"

He needed to do something about it.

***

Eun Ha sat in the small bed at the corner of her room, thinking about all that happened she couldn't get her mind off if, she opened her laptop to distract herself a little, she needed to find a new Job her belly was already protruding, she couldn't take up just any Job, she needed something that wouldn't stress her so much.

Her eyes met with the trending news on the web, CEO Li Muchen of Li corporations has just signed a contract to reconstruct the capital's road, he had even given a brief comment in the press conference and a short video was attached to the write-up.

She was going to just scroll pass as her head had instructed, but her heart had betrayed her and she quickly clicked on the video, he was putting on a great coloured suit and a black tie looking handsome as ever, she knew she had felt something for him from the very first day they met but she knew she could never measure up, he had made it clear that it was just business and nothing else and deep down she knew, perhaps she felt him giving her groceries anonymously must mean something but she quickly discarded the thought

"Aigo! Eun Ha... You're dumb, you just lost your job, your family is in debt and the best you could do is droll over a man that wouldn't take a second look at you. The CEO and boss of one of the most influential families in City A" she said to herself.

She was frustrated but she didn't want anything to get to her.

She repeated her mantra out loudly

"you're strong you're beautiful, you're powerful"

She went into her bathroom to take a shower, she wished the water could wash away her pains and troubles, she wanted a normal life but she couldn't get that.

She was exhausted, sometimes she felt like giving up but she had so many people depending on her, she could afford to be relaxed.

She slid herself into her short black coloured nightie and strolled onto the kitchen with an attempt of poling for something to eat, she discovered she was out of milk, cheese, eggs, butter, oil, she hadn't even realised. She was eating so much.

She never expected carry on a child to be this difficult, she felt she might explode one day if she didn't control her eating, besides she wouldn't be able to maintain that lifestyle

She stared at her belly and rubbed it slightly

"Mummy won't be able to give you all you want at the moment but mummy will make sure you have all you need"
