UNEXPECTED 38 The Meeting

Taner finally spotted him and quickly went over to him, "hi, thanks again", she sat down opposite him and observed him. He has a silver hair styled as a braided razor part with pompadour, surprising silver eyes too with defined jawline, his skin was as white as snow, he has a piercing on his ear and a tattoo on his neck, he looks tall but not as tall as Jiseok.

"um...are you through checking me out, you can take a picture it last longer".

Taner blushed embarra.s.sedly being caught in the act, she cleared her throat, "sorry about that, my name is Lu Taner".

"William".

"ok, anyway here's your key I have to head back to work, thanks again you are a life saver". Taner stood up.

"Rather than thanking me why don't you take me out for dinner later, Val... I mean Taner". He smiled.

"umm... That's seems fair but it will have to be another time I already have a dinner date, you can give me your number so I can call you".

"Sure no problem". William gave her his number and Taner took it before leaving the cafe hurriedly. 'Now you can never escape, I'll lure you in until I finish you', he smiled deviously as he watched her restricting figure.

Taner sneaked inside her office hoping he would not see her, she sat down exhausted from all the running she was doing, she didn't even notice someone was watching her every move.

"Where have you been?"

Taner jumped and fell down on the floor due to the shock, she never expected him to be in her office.

"You.... Do you want to give me an heart attack!!" she yelled standing up and dusting her dress.

"I don't like repeating myself".

"it's none of your business!!"

"Talk like that again and you will be fired, next time this repeats itself don't blame me for punis.h.i.+ng you". With that he stood up and walked to the door and stopped, "oh and by the way for your excellent performance today, you will be paid one million dollars and you are now the company's new translator, the contract is on your table sign it and send it to me within twenty minutes if not I'll a.s.sume you rejected the offer", with that he left the office.

Taner jumped happily, now she just needs ten million dollars for her dad operation. She quickly reviewed the contract and to her delight she will be paid one million and above depending on her performance, she happily signed it and quickly ran to his office to give him.

Taner was allowed to close around four so she could go home to get dressed for the dinner with the clients.

"Aunt I'm home... I'll be in my room!!" Taner announced before going up. She already called Mia for help and immediately she opened the door, a girl with blond hair ran and hugged her tightly.

"You crazy girl I missed you soooo much, where the heck have you been? What the heck happened to you? You literally disappeared and blocked me out, you have so much explaining to do young lady".

"I'm so sorry Bell, I was just so confused I knew I shouldn't have cut you off I promise to explain everything to you as you help me get ready".

"You better.. You look pale, ugh there's so much work to do".

One hour later

Mia was done, Taner looked at the mirror and she was glowing, her hair was done in a cla.s.sy French twist with little volume and her bangs combed to one side, she was wearing a red bodycon dress that ended on her knee, her favorite simple chain with a Swan pendant, a simple makeup, a three inch black shoe and black purse.

"And finally this beautiful Swan bracelet that is the same colour with your eyes, by the way is this yours? It's beautiful.

Taner took the bracelet and ran her hands smoothly along the initials 'T?J', she was so lost in the memory that she didn't even know she was crying.

"Val, why are you crying? Is the bracelet so important?" Mia asked concerned. Taner nodded and wiped her tears, "don't worry I'm okay, I'll tell you when the time is right", she wore the bracelet carefully around her wrist and smiled painfully before kissing the place with the initials.

Mia was speechless, she have never seen her friend so emotional and cried once, 'this must be from her first love no wonder she refused to date anyone, I wonder what happened to their love story', she thought to herself.

After some few minutes, Taner told Mia everything year has been going on in her life.

"I'm so sorry, all these happened to you and I couldn't even help you".

"It's not your fault, it's just the way life is there's nothing we can do about it".

"How many months does uncle have left?"

"Five more months, I just have to gather at least eight million more and I can pay for them to start the surgery". Taner replied enthusiastic.

"I'll send two million to you so I will be only eight million left".

"No please I can't accept that kind of money, I appreciate your help but I just can't".

"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for uncle so please just for once accept it besides I'm just borrowing you, you must return to to me". Mia said smiling.

"Thank you so much Bell(Mia) I promise to repay you back!" Taner happily hugged Mia. They discussed for a while before Mia finally left saying she has a date with her 'hubby' (Hangul).
