Chapter 40

Even a tree can be shaken by a wind that's strong enough and at that very moment, surely your felt like Namjoon had become a quiet pressuring wind as he stood before you, looking at you with that stern gaze as he had demanded of you without a spit of hesitation to obey him in the request he voiced to you after he let you know that he heard everything you talked about on that phone call of yours.

Despite how much sense it made for him to have the right to be suspicious however it surely left you unable to carry on his request because it simply violated someone's else privacy.

"Sir, even though she wanting to give me her plan may have sounded forceful, I am sure nothing bad is hidden behind this. She is sick and she was just trying to help me by saving me time." You tried your best to justify Elle despite the fact that you too had found her proposal a bit forceful on you but it felt like a kind act nonetheless.

"Miss Mun, I thought you were an honest person, weren't you? If you are going to be lying to me you might as well go ahead and quit your post right this instant cause I tell you, I won't let you last." He warned you as he placed his hands on the desk, leaning a bit closer towards you who were facing him as calmly as you could, hiding the fact that he really had succeeded at making you feel a bit intimidated with his behaviour.

"I am honest Sir."

"Then cut the excuses and answer my question. Do you think of her as someone who you can trust fully or not?"He left you no other choice but to reply with a clear sentence that unfortunately for Elle was of a negative nature because even though she had been nice to you, claiming that you trust her would be nothing but a lie.

"Good, since you don't trust her as well, I see no reason why you would not do your duty - which is to obey my orders and fulfil my requests as I am your employer and what I requested of you is not out of a personal grudge but it would help clear up any possible threat of this business which you work for-and spy on her as I am asking you to." Namjoon used his words to make his request more logical and change your perspective on it as clearly you saw it as something absurd of him to ask at the beginning.

"I understand where you are coming from Sir, however, isn't that too much? She is trusting me to let me in her home and I-"

"And you what Miss Mun? Do you really think that secretary Elle is really sick and is letting you in without any ulterior motive? Don't be so naive. She is obviously trying to win you on her side. Do you plan on falling a victim to her schemes or do you follow my orders and become the one that is a step ahead from anything she may ever pull on you?" His words made you dive into insecurity as of course, you did not want to be caught up in anything while being unable to prove your innocence and as you started thinking about it, Elle sure was still doing so much of the work you were supposed to have taken over as on papers your contract was fully applicable since the first day you stepped in here. 

"What are you exactly searching for, Sir?" You questioned him, as you considered being on his side safer for the moment than being on Elle's side.

"I am not sure. Anything. Anything that is out of place at her house, anything that looks like something I should be aware of, report to me, everything your eyes can catch. Got it?" He raised his left eyebrow as he waited for your response and you nodded your head finally uttering the positive response he was desiring to hear and at that a smile spread on his lips that caught you off guard as two deep dimples formed at his cheeks, making you aware of their existence for the first time.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation miss Mun. I assure you that you will have me by your side in whatever mess this situation may end. Now grab your coat, I will drive you there." He spoke to you in a soft tone before he disappeared back to his office, leaving you behind in a perplexed state and still unsure if this was the right thing to do.
