Arianna sat on the bed, all dressed, drowned in her own thoughts. What was she going to become? A petty maid? A gardener? A cook? Just what?
This wasn't the life she wished for. But, she might become great from this. But the chances are slim. She just hoped she'll be allowed to work for him and get paid. Then maybe after a year or two, she'll refuse to work anymore and CEO Han would let her go. Thus, breaking the relationship between Han group and Doshin. And Doshin would not stand without Han group.
Bingo!
A knock came on her door, pulling her out of her thoughts. She stood up and walked towards it, opening the door. And in front of her stood Yoo Na with a frown. Her hands crossed over her chest.
"He's here" she glared at her and walked away. Arianna watched her leave before going to take her luggage, she walked her way to the living room.
*...*...*...*....*....*....*....*
Leonel sat on the couch in the living room, and Do-hyun walked in.
"Hello chairman Park" he greeted while smiling , shaking hands with him. "It's nice seeing you again" he said and sat down.
"The pleasure is all mine " Leonel took his seat as well.
Yoo Na went up to get Arianna and after a minute, she came down with her.
Seeing Leonel, Arianna bowed. "Hello, chairman Park" she greeted, and Leonel gave a nod.
She looked so young and beautiful. He thought.
"Mr. Baek.....here" Leonel handed a briefcase to him , and he took it.
"What is this?" he asked with a grin and opened it. Seeing it contained money, his eyes grew wide.
"Goodness!" He exclaimed in a low tone. Arianna's eyes were also wide. Were they selling her off?
"That's for investing in Doshin as per the agreement. It's over 300 million won in there" Leonel said.
Do-hyun chuckled "It's quite a lot. Thank you"
"Here" Leonel handed him a file "Sign" he said.
"Sure, of course" he said, grinning from ear to ear. Without reading throughly, he signed and handed the paper back.
Leonel smirked. How could he be so foolish? Sign a paper without reading? If only he knew what was written. At the last page.
"Then...." he said, standing up "I'll be leaving with the girl now."
"Just a minute" Yoo Na stopped "If I may ask...what is she going as?"
Leonel hesitated for a while, scrutinizing their faces.
"His mistress" he replied.
Arianna's heart sank upon hearing that. Her throat felt dry and sweat broke on her temples.
"Okay" Yoo Na said with a feigned smile.
"Let's go?" he said to her and made his way through the door. Arianna's grip on her suitcase handle tightened, and she dragged it out of the house to the compound.
She stood beside Do-hyun "I'll make sure to repay your kindness, Mr. Baek" she said in a low tone but loud enough for him to hear. She walked out to where the car was packed outside the gates. Once she got there, Leonel took it from her and placed it the boot of the car.
"Thank you" she said and all he did was nod.
"Get in" he said and Arianna did as she was told. She got in, surprised to see that there was no one in front to drive. Which means Leonel would drive. What kind of chairman would have no driver?
Throughout the drive Arianna was quiet, gazing through the window. The only thing on her mind now was that she was now a mistress....of a man with high anonymous fame, who doesn't like women. How now does he find her attractive? Have he seen her before?
Leonel on the other hand was filled with her thoughts. He couldn't help but get worried about her. It's not like Ryan would do anything to her. Or would he? This girl is still too young. If he wasn't mistaken, she should be twenty.
After half an hour drive, they arrived at Han's residence. Getting down from the car, she was astonished by the enormous building in front of her.
Zariel walked to them "You're welcome" she smiled.
"Ah... hello" Arianna bowed as a sign of respect, holding her luggage tight.
"Let me get that for you" Zariel offered.
"Ah..no. I can handle it. Thank you" she rejected politely.
"I insist" Zariel said and took it from her.
"Thank you" Arianna said, them shifted her gaze back to the building, she gaped at it.
Is this a house or a castle? How can someone live in a house this big? It's... it's...
"Magnificent?" Zariel spoke.
Did she read her thoughts.
"Yes" Arianna replied, still gaping "it's magnificent" she smiled.
Ryan was gazing at her through his window, smiling at how she gaped. He didn't even know he was smiling, but when he realised, he stopped immediately and left the window.
Just why the hell was he smiling? She looked quite amusing, yes. But that doesn't give a guarantee to smile, does it? Absolutely not!
Arianna stepped foot into the large living room, she was overwhelmed. The interior decor was something she can never be able to describe. A large chandelier in the middle of the room giving off its light. A whole lot of paintings on the wall. Such grandeur. She can never be able to explain with words. The room could even host a party with over fifty people. And there would still be more space. This was going to be her new home....for the meantime actually.
"I'm Ms.Jung, the manager of this house" Zariel spoke. Okay, now a house' got a manager and a chairman. Interesting.
"During your stay here, there are rules you must follow...."
Rules?! There are rules here too?!
"You are free to go about this premises, except the walls that guard this house. Feel at home, do whatever you want, go wherever you feel like. But you see that door..." She pointed to it "do not enter. Young master restrict people from going there. So stay away"
"I understand " Arianna said. Wow, this rules aren't like rules.
"Let me show you to your room" Zariel said with a smile and walked to the stairs, with Arianna following behind.
Zariel stopped at a door after passing a few doors, she opened it "This is your room. Call me if you need anything."
"I will" Arianna said and Zariel gave a smile. She walked inside and Zariel closed the door.
'She really is beautiful. No wonder he got attracted' Zariel thought, a smile lingering in her face.
"Wow!...." Arianna exclaimed, almost in a whisper. The room was big, warm and cosy. Had a theme of pink and white. She could tell this was designed specially for her. She never thought of this. It was way beyond her imagination. The bathroom was also big, with large bath tub, and another area for the shower. Whichever you felt like using.
This....is.... paradise! Her eyes fell on the queen-sized bed and she jumped on it.
"It's so warm and fluffy" she said as she kept on jumping like a kid on a bouncing castle.
It wasn't a bad idea coming here at all. Or was it? She immediately sat up on the bed. She gets to be someone's mistress. Does that mean he would..... Nah! He doesn't like women. She shifted the thoughts immediately.
