Chapter 4 • The Uncertainty promises

It took over 20 minutes after Mr. Lee came to pick me up. Honestly, i’m not sure where we are heading to. But, seems like it’s already far away from my workplace. Mr. Lee looks calm as ever likewise. He didn’t get any words unless asking how do i feel and secure if i was okay as well. He seems pretty caring person. Or is it just me? I don’t know. It was just 2 days only, why would i jump onto conclusions already? How fool i am.

Instead talking to me, he often answers several call from his phone. I didn’t try to eavesdrop or anything of what i heard. But, his duty quire tight and lively. Duh, a CEO of company of course. Speaking of CEO. Why did he came by himself though? I thought or at least he did took a driver. I don’t see a single person surrounds him since his arrival. I mean, Mr. Goo was there but he’s on day off. So, is it possible to count him as Mr. Lee’s guard? Or not? Either way, it’s unnecessary to think. I just wonder, where did he take me to?

As I wanted to recall myself out, Mr. Lee stops the car as he drives into the supermarket. It’s huge place and i don’t see any idea why he would come to this place though. Besides, i never know that there was a huge market in this area. Surely hard for me to seek out and make own adventure indeed. Just get over with. Perhaps, he wanted to buy something.

“Let’s get something first from here.” While he looking empty slot, he did drives carefully. I love the way he take the car gently and i could say this is one of the most comfortable routes i’ve ever had. He must really good at driving. What a packed guy.

“Here, take my wallet. And put it on your bag.” Finally we got some nice and tidy slot to park the car. And as he does that, he wanted me to grab his wallet and puts insidr my bag. I don’t see any of his bags, so, yeah. I understand at most of kind this situation.

As soon as we get out of the car, Mr. Lee drag me gently with this wheel chair. I wonder, if Mr. Lee was fine taking me here while pushing the chair just to look around the market. Everyone could be ashamed because of me. But, Mr. Lee. He looks unbothered. Anyway, if it’s that okay to him, then I’m completely glad about it. Back to the business.

Why do we need to drop by here though? It’s still a big question to me. Looks like we’re going to shop for. . . I don’t know. To be honest, this is absolutely weird. First, I got sudden crowds in my building. Second, Mr. Lee was also there by sudden. Third thing, it’s a mysterious riot on my workplace. And now, this? What kind of game are these? Why do i feel like i’m not even alive anymore? All these occurrences are way more than a joke. It’s a blink in the eyes of mine. Seriously, sigh. I really don’t know anymore.

“You look confused.” He finally speaks up.

”I do, of course. Why do we get here by sudden?”

”We’re here not for shopping.” Eh? Then what is it?

”Pardon Me?” He keeps strolling the chair while heading to the back of the market. I feel scared by now. It’s like, something sketchy is coming thru. But then, we are on the exactly back fo the market, i saw a blue SUV car there. Within four of suit guard waiting for us to come. They immediately approach us and helps the rest of the situation. Mr. Lee, suddenly lift me up as a princess. My face turns red and try to look away. I can hear he was giggling, which make me more blush.

As i get into the car, Mr. Lee didn’t get himself into car yet. Instead, he seems giving an order to his body guard as his request. In following moment, He knocks the window. I slide the button down as the window gets lower.

“I’m sorry. I’ll leave you the guards for now. It is not safe yer for you to be around. Also, they will take you to my safest place.” Safest place? So all these time, he already plans it out?

“I will tell you everything once settled here, okay?” He smiles at the end. I can see that his smile is also on point. Being gentle amd worry at the same time. I truly have no idea what’s going on. But, he did this for my safety. Why he done that in first place?

“Understandable, Mr. Lee. Please be careful out there.” As i response, he only nods and back to back gives me smiles. How can i not feel so flattered with that?!

“I’ll see you later.” He back himself up, as a driver comes in. He starts to waving goodbye at me, and leaving the place. I sit myself down and try to be more relax. Thinking of what’s happening now is probably such pain. Yet, Now I’m worried about Mr. Lee. He is such a good guy. He knows what he must do. And he plans every single thing to get myself in better place. I should be more thankful than this. But how should i repay his kindness? Money won’t even talk that much on him. Even my monthly expenses isn’t worth of his one days spent. Who am i kidding. . .

Along the road, what i can feel is how uneasy i am. Although, the person next to me is likely good guy. But, the energy and the vibe i receive is more than just a fine. He looks neat and completely normal as worker. Does he know that what’s Mr. Lee Planning? I believe everyone should have knows at begin. Besides, he also good at driving. Carefully and thoroughly without being distracted. Glad to know that he’s good at this at least.

Around twenty minutes later, a massive gate is automatically scanned and opened as the person put the identity card. It was surrounded by camera surveillance as well. As the car ger in deep through the place, my eyes begin mesmerizes as the house is beyond my expectations.

It’s outstanding. Even had myself to bamboozled. I never knew if Mr. Lee is this rich. I can’t even describe this place as a mansion! It’s ten times more than that! Well, to be honest. I’m sure it was to exaggerating. Seriously, this place is massive. How did he manage to get this place though? And importantly, i can tell this house was hidden. None able to see it. Even the above. What’s that suppose to be? Anyway. Wow, just. . . Wow.

The car finally stopped right on the entrance of the house. The door on my seat begins to open as it slides back. Two peope greets me wholeheartedly and make their way to help me to my chair. With gentle and care, i safely to seat back on my wheelchair. So, this’s what the definition of act of service? Kind of i assume. Hey, this is my first time being here. It’s like i’m a boss already!

“Welcome to Lee’s Residence. Please, let me introduce ourself. My Name Yoon Paul. You may call me Paul. And this is Im Seong-Ha. She’s the current and head of service here.” As i nods to respond them, they continuely to take me inside the house. They truly do their duty. How loyal.

“Mr. Lee will be back soon around at night. And we already prepare the room for you.” Mr. Yoon seems eager for this. Is he getting more payment?

“Ms. Im will help you to fulfill your needs. So feel free to call her whenever you need something. And please do call me if it there’s emergency.” He added as he giving me a lot of detail. I guess, i can’t say no to that and it’s very clear. Understood em’ at most. Well, let’s just say vacation for this time. I haven’t been able to get myself on vacation speaking of the devil. Hmm. . . Perhaps this one called one? Probably.

Both Mr. Yoon and Ms. Im leave me in such expensive and modern room. I can see the wall is very authentic and strong enough. The decorations and details of the arts is also great. Is it me it more seems like futuristic references? It’s good anyway.

Oh wait a second. It remind me of something. What do i get here? And why Mr. Lee send their team to transfer me here? Will i able to get out? Or Mr. Lee asking me to live here? Oh my god, that is absolutely no. I could never, and ever—

While i was arguing with my on thoughts, a phone rings breaks the silence and made me to realize that i was in deep down inside my mind. I immediately take out my phone from the bag, I’m in rush as wel, then accidentally drop the wallet that Mr. Lee gave to me earlier. This also make me realize, what should i do with his wallet? Does he actually need it by now? And back at it again, i look at my phone screen, and it’s say xxx number. I didn’t got chace to answer, but it look indeed suspicious.

I shrugged my shoulder as i put the phone away back. But then again, the phone ringing for the second time and the number remain unknown. What should i do with this? Should i just answer it? Or not? I’m hesitating! Yet, this might be Mr. Lee. So i need to answer it to know if it’s true.

Before i completely slide to answer, Mr. Yoon came out from nowhere, make me drop the phone and somehow it turned off the phone right away. And Mr. Yoon is more panicked than i am.

“Don’t ever answer that call! Mr. Kang!”

”B— But, why? It could be Mr. Lee—“

”It wasn’t. I know this kind of game. So Mr. Kang should be more aware.” Aware from what? I don’t see if it’s particularly dangerous. Why is that so important to him. Unless. . .

”Don’t tell me, i was being chased by the police?!”

”Sigh. I cannot hid this from you anymore. Yes, yes they are looking for you.”

A sudden lighting charge right in front of my face. It’s truly something that i wasn’t pay attention at all. The weirdest thing that happen in my life. And sudden disappearance in public. So, this enigma ks slowly become one and make as one to be complete puzzly.
