Pay With Your Heart

"Boss that was a good deal. You're great as always" Hei-Ran praised as she walked behind her boss who was leading them to his car.

"I know. And that's why I always bring you along with me every time" He replied as he kept walking ahead.

Hei-Ran didn't understand what he meant, but she simply shrugged it off as one of her boss crazy statements.

He unlocked the car and Hei-Ran opened the back seat to drop the few files in her hands. She bowed to him as soon as she closed the door.

"Sir i guess we're done, I'll be on my way now" Hei-Ran said politely. She was grateful the meeting had been concluded earlier than expected. Now all she had to do now was handle her mother's craziness.

She had to rush home and talk to her mother to buy herself some more time, till she finally finds herself a boyfriend.

Hei-Ran's boss raised a brow at her when she said those words. Who said they were done for the day?

"Ms Hei-Ran, get into the car" He said before stepping into the car, without any explanation.

Hei-Ran's eyes widened in confusion. Where they not done for the day? What else did he have planned? She was only aware of this meeting, so what else were they going to do?

Hei-Ran snapped out of her thoughts when her boss honked the car.

'What a psycho' She cussed in her mind, before grumpily stepping into the car.

"Do you have anything planned out for the day?" He asked as he started driving.

Hei-Ran looked at him, masking the anger lingering in her eyes. "No" She replied.

"Then accompany me somewhere" He said before driving off. Hei-Ran shoot him an angry look.

"Where?" She asked.

"Somewhere" He replied.

Couldn't he be a little more open about where he was taking her? 'This man is really mad. Maybe she should just resign already. He was frustrating her daily. She didn't know how long her sanity would last, before she snaps at him.

Hei-Ran was about to say something to him when her phone started ringing. Her heart started beating hard when she saw it her mother calling. She panicked inwardly. Her days of freedom were going to be over soon.

What was she going to do? How on earth was she going to reactify this problem right now? If there were to be an agency that hired boyfriend she'd have gone to hire one for herself just for today.

She'll do anything just to hold onto her days of freedom. But what was she going to do now when her boss wasn't going to let her go? Only if he could just let her off right now then she'd try to look for a solution to solve this problem.

"Ms Hei-Ran" The boss called snapping her out of her thought. She turned to look at him.

"Answer your phone" He said.

"Oh I'm sorry" Hei-Ran apologized before rejecting the call.

"Aren't you going to take that?" He asked as he glanced at her phone briefly.

"Errmm...No" She replied.

"Okay"

Soon Hei-Ran's phone started ringing again. She looked at her boss before putting the phone on silent. She didn't want to upset him with her phone ringing off the hook. You can never tell when the fuse in his brain might blow off.

"You should answer that. It might be an emergency" He said without looking at her. Hei-Ran hesitated. She didn't think it was a safe decision to take her mother's call right there — right in front of her boss. She didn't want to let anybody know she was been pressured into getting married.

"Hei-Ran pick that call" He said, his voice sounding a bit cold than usual.

"Yes Mr Song" Hei-Ran said before picking up her call.

She looked at her boss who looked like he was paying attention to the road, but was he?

Author doesn't know.

"Hello, mom I'm busy" She said in a whisper, tightly pressing the phone against her right ear which was against the window, so that her boss wouldn't hear.

"Don't you dare end the call young lady, or else I'll pay trackers to track your phone and I'll pay you a public visit right this instant" Mrs Su roared over the phone. Hei-Ran felt like crying. Why did her mother have to be so smart.

"So what do you want now?" Hei-Ran asked almost at the verge of tears. She kept pressing her phone hard against her ears while trying to reduce the volume of her phone but she accidentally puts the phone on loudspeaker.

She panicked when the phone went on speaker mode. She hurriedly tried to remove it back to phone mode but the phone slipped off her hands and fell to the ground, and at that time her mother's voice has filled the whole car.

"You must be crazy. What did I tell you about bringing your boyfriend home for lunch? Why are you not here yet? And you dare say you're busy? With who? That boss of yours? If he isn't going to give you time to spend time with your man or make you have a boyfriend, then he should ask you out. I mean there's nothing bad in having a office romance. Don't tell me he doesn't find you attractive? Maybe you're not looking good enough these days.You're not looking attractive enough right? Hei-Ran you must always look good enough to pique a man's interest. When are you going to bring a man for me? When?"

Hei-Ran cringed in embarrassment as her mom kept saying those things to her boss hearing. Hei-Ran slowly turned her head to look at her boss and it was then she realized he had stopped the car and was staring at her phone, listening to all her mother's ramblings.

Mother earth should please open up and swallow her now. This was too embarrassing for her. Why was her mother doing this to her right now? Was there any embarrassment that's worse than this. This was the height of it all.

"Tell him to date you and come marry you, since he's always keeping you to his side. After all he seems like a nice man, and he does have a good facial mould. He should keep you if he doesn't want to let you be. So tell that boss of yours to let you go and bring me a man or he should volunteer himself"

"I will" Came a voice which not only startled Hei-Ran but also her mother.

"Hei-Ran who is that?" Ms Su asked inquisitively. Hei-Ran tried to pick up the phone which she has been so embarrassed to pick, but before she could do that, it was already in her boss hands.

"It's me, Hei-Ran's boss...and her boyfriend." He replied startling Hei-Ran to death. Her eyes flew open and she almost ran out of breath when she heard him say that.

"Mr Song" She called out in mortification and confusion. What was he doing?

"Really?" Mrs Su asked with suspicion and surprise. She was only saying those things due to the frustration of Hei-Ran's nonchalancy towards marriage.

"Yes"

"With all due respect Mrs Su, my girlfriend is always looking gorgeous to work and she has not just my interest but that of every colleague in the office. And Secondly She's not in need of a boyfriend because she has me. So please don't pressure into looking for other men" Mr Song said in a calm and convincing tone, as he watched Hei-Ran From the corner of his eyes. She looked like she was about to cry.

Why was she looking like that? Was she really going to look for a boyfriend when he was there? Why the hell did he beg that client all week just to have that meeting today, especially after he heard the threats that Mrs Su had sent through Hei-Ran's younger sister if it wasn't to stop her from bringing a man other than him to her mom?

Yes he was that shameless and he didn't care. This was the only way he knew he could protect what belongs to him. Don't be surprised!

He couldn't give her any free time. If he does then she'd go on dates and find a boyfriend. What about him? What was going to happen to him?

"Are you really my baby's boyfriend?" Mrs Su asked in disbelief.

"N.."

"Yes" Mr Song glared at Hei-Ran who was trying to say NO.

"Really that's great" Mrs Su chirped. "Then are you coming over for lunch? Tell me all your favorite food I'll prepare them right away" Mrs Su said excitedly.

"Mother!" Hei-Ran was about to cry. What the hell was going on? What kind of pit was her boss digging out for her?

"As a matter of fact we are" He replied, as he kept looking at Hei-Ran was about to cry any moment now.

"Perfect. I'll be waiting. I'm sure you'll be a good son in-law" Mrs Su said excitedly.

"I know" He said before mother Su ended the call.

"Mr Song what was that?" Hei-Ran snapped the moment her boss got off the phone.

"I just found you a hired boyfriend" He said indifferently as he passed her the phone.

Hei-Ran was dumbfounded. What has this guy done?

" Do you know what you've just done?" She asked in anger and disbelief.

"I'll get to help you play boyfriend till you have one" 'Which will never happen' He added in his mind.

"Mr..."

"You should be thanking me, and stop complaining. And just so you know my services are not for free" He Interjected her words.

Hei-Ran was bewildered by her boss attitude. Why was he doing this?
