Ice: Thaw the Frozen Heart [EDITING]

Chapter 2

"So now that Wu Yi Fan is married, the house will be given to Han Jieun as the wife of the late Wu Yi Huang. Everything else related to the Titan Wu company is inherited to Wu Yi Fan as the son of Mr. Wu. Furthermore, Wu Yi Fan is to be an active chairman of the company replacing Mr. Wu. However, it is to be remembered that Wu Lin, the daughter of Mr.Wu, will be given a certain part of the company share, now held by Wu Yi Fan, once she is married and if she is willing to hold it. If Wu Lin refuse to accept the share, it will be given back to Wu Yi Fan." The Wu family lawyer read the will of Kris' father.

"One more thing," the lawyer reminded them, "Wu Yi Fan and his wife Kwon Yeojin are not allowed to get a divorce unless they have been married for 3 years. If they wish to divorce before the third year of their marriage, Wu Yi Fan is to step down from his position as a chairman and the position along with the company share held is to be handed to Park Changsun, the current Vice Chairman and CEO of the company."

Just one more year, Kwon Yeojin. One more year! Yeojin kept on reminding herself as she downed another gulp of water. She then heard the sound of a car coming inside the garage behind the house. The sound of the car's engine soon died down and she could hear the door of the car being opened and shut. She put down the glass of water and walked out of the kitchen when the door of the house opened and in came the tall man.

She stopped in her step as he glanced at her. Their eyes locked for what seemed like only two seconds before he walked past her heading to the kitchen. She froze for a moment before blinking her eyes and turned to trail behind him.

"Your family sent regards to you," she finally tried to break the silence. He didn't reply and just took a glass and filled it with water. Yeojin's eyes blinked a few times before she sighed as he started drinking the water.

Damn ice! She grumbled in her mind.

"Your mom asked you to come visit her some time too." She tried to dismissed the awkward cold air hanging above them. Yet, she only heard a scoff from him as a reply before he downed the rest of the water in one shot.

Is he perhaps still mad at me because of the cold water this morning? Yeojin wondered.

"A-are you still mad at me for what happened this morning?" She cautiously asked.

"You think?" He scoffed as he walked to the sink to put his glass there.

"Sorry for that." Yeojin rubbed the back of her neck.

He raised an eyebrow at her feeling annoyed. Yeah... You're sorry but you're going to do it again any time.

"Have you had dinner? I can make ramyeon for you too if you want."

"I don't want to eat," he replied coldly.

Okay then. Suit yourself. She hissed in her mind. "Oh! By the way"—the girl rounded the island counter and reached inside her bag. She took out a long black box whose lid is engraved with gold letters of a brand's name at the center. "I... I was hanging out at the mall with Sunhee and... I passed this shop and I just thought of buying something for you," she said nervously while handing the box to him who was standing on the other side of the island counter.

He took it and and a smirk—one of despise—soon curled on his face. "Riiight~ because thinking of me and buying me something is just an everyday occasion," Kris said with sarcasm clothing his words.

"I—"

"You think I don't know you?" He raised an eyebrow at her and crossed his arms while his right hand was still holding the box. His cold countenance was never wiped away from his face. "You never buy something without planning before hand. You don't buy something just because you feel like buying it."
