47 Duel (1/2)
Outside Chang Wook's office Hong Joo was cleaning up her desk. She doesn't want Chang Wook to think of her as untidy. She turned around in her seat and started to archive some documents when she heard a man's voice.
”Excuse me”
”I'll be right with you” she said.
”I'm just here to see Chang Wook” he said.
Hong Joo turned around and saw a tall, handsome man but it wasn't just any tall and handsome man, it was Chung Woo Yeon. The man that came in first place as the most eligible bachelor in all of Korea. The second was Ji Seok, the CEO's brother.
Woo Yeon had beautiful features. Hong Joo always wanted to see him in person to see if what the tabloids said were true and they were.
She knew the Chung's and the Oh's had a great relationship, she even heard once that the families planned on getting their children married to each other but that was quickly overshadowed by other news and it was never talked about again.
She quickly wondered if Woo Yeon was going to challenge Chang Wook for a duel, the prize being Ha Eun's hand in marriage. Hong Joo had to admit that she had a bit of a wild imagination.
Hong Joo got up from her seat and lead him to Chang Wook's office.
”What is it Hong Joo?” Chang Wook asked her.
”A man is here to see you” she said. Chang Wook thought it might be Mr. Oh or someone from the board, but he couldn't have ever imagined on seeing Woo Yeon enter his office. He sat down on the chair in front of Chang Wook's desk. Chang Wook on the other hand, stood.
It was in his job as a secretary to always stand up to a higher up, he had forgotten that he didn't have to stand up for anyone. Even if Woo Yeon was the successor to the Chung Group, Chang Wook didn't need to stand for him.
Hong Joo was surprised by this. The battle hadn't even commenced yet Woo Yeon was already in the lead.
”Mr. Chung. What brings you to my office so early in the morning?” Chang Wook asked him as he laid on the bookcase behind him. That was a nice save to the standing incident ”I thought you were going to see my wife”
Hong Joo smiled. The battle commenced with Chang Wook throwing the first punch. Rather than saying the CEO he said wife.
Woo Yeon chuckled ”Oh, I will see her. I just wanted to meet with you first” Hong Joo was surprised by this. Rather than throw a punch, Woo Yeon seemed to want to taunt Chang Wook.
”Did you manage to please Ha Eun that night?” Woo Yeon asked. Hong Joo was shocked. He just questioned Chang Wook's performance in bed! That was a low blow.
”You seem to be very invested in our relationship for someone that has nothing to do with it” Chang Wook answered. Chang Wook just rejected any kind of friendship with Woo Yeon!
”She and I have known each other since we were young” Woo Yeon said ”I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about her” Hong Joo placed her hands on her stomach. Woo Yeon brought up the subject of childhood friends. That was a punch in the stomach for Chang Wook.
”Does she still play with a piece of thread when she's nervous?” Woo Yeon asked. Hong Joo widened her eyes. He brought up a childhood experience.
”She is a very confident woman. If she's nervous, she can always rely on me” Chang Wook answered. Hong Joo smiled. Chang Wook blocked Woo Yeon's attack with the protective husband card while also praising Ha Eun which gives him more points.
”Is this what you came to see me for?” Chang Wook asked him ”You want to have a fight?”
”Who said anything about fighting? I just wanted to get to know my ex-fiancée's husband” Woo Yeon said. Hong Joo's mouth dropped. Chang Wook seemed paralyzed. She wondered if Woo Yeon knocked him out with that one word 'fiancée.' Was the battle over?
Chang Woo had no idea Ha Eun was once engaged. He knew the Chung's and the Oh's got along, but he didn't know Woo Yeon and Ha Eun were once engaged. He noticed Woo Yeon's smile.
”Look at you so serious” Woo Yeon chuckled. Hong Joo sighed with relief, it seemed he used the word 'fiancée' to mess with Chang Wook's head.
