Chapter 3 : An Unwanted Decision

Daniel's P.O.V.

"You don't need to come!" Boss Replied from the other side of the call.

"But Boss, I have the best presentation. An-" I couldn't even finish my sentence when the Boss shut me up with a rude answer. 

"Yoonah will manage it well!" 

I was shocked. I was confused about what happened in that little time when I wasn't present, that Boss was talking about Yoonah, even when I prepared all the documents and presentation for the project. Even He said he was impressed by my work yesterday.

"Boss, please, I can come there by the next flight."  I pleaded, "I will be there by the evening."

"I said you don't have to!" He again shut me up with his rude tone.

I fell silent for a few seconds. Then I asked again,

"Then What would I do these days here in the office?" 

"Yoonah has some work undone. You need to complete them before we join the office again. For today you can go home!" He ordered. 

"And if you complete it, You can take leave until we come back." He finished his words as if it was planned from long ago.

Leave until they come back? Was he drunk early in the morning? He never approved leaves without any emergency reasons neither I liked getting leave without any proper reason. What happened to him?

"Okay?" Boss asked.

I hummed in response, and then he hung up.

Yeah, I was late. I couldn't catch the flight. If I was 15 minutes earlier, maybe the story was different right now. When I missed my flight, I found out the next flight to Tokyo was after 6.5 hours. I confirmed my ticket to Tokyo and started waiting for my flight. 

It was almost 3 hours when I got a call from Boss to cancel my trip.

I cancelled my flight ticket to Tokyo and took my leave from the airport. 

I stepped outside of the airport with my belongings and stood at the same place where I collided with that girl. 

Her face started making me even more furious. I felt like it was her fault. Because of her, I missed my golden opportunity.

I kicked a pebble being irritated. 

"Damn foreigner!" 

I booked a cab again to go home.

It was a bad day. I Missed my flight, missed my golden opportunity to get promoted, and now the cab driver wanted me to stand in another route. I sighed heavily. 

I took a shortcut, a little alley, to reach the street to the described road.

I was crossing the alley as I heard a little sentence before another turn. 

"Today is My lucky day. I hit a jackpot today." 

It was a heavy voice that sounded like a middle-aged man. I stopped on my way as I heard him saying this. I couldn't see him, but I could sense he was near, talking to himself. 

"I wish for more stupid foreigners to come to South Korea. So I can rob them easily. Hehe." 

"He robbed someone? I need to check!" I thought.

I almost took the right turn to check the situation, but I stopped. 

"It's already the worst day. Involving myself with a robber is the least I wanna do." I reminded myself, and I took a left turn to reach my destination.

But again, the man said, "That foreigner girl was very stupid. She didn't even look for her phone!" 

"Girl ?!"

As soon as I heard "Girl" and a "foreigner," my feet stopped on their own. 

"It can't be that beautiful girl I met in the morning, right?" I murmured under my breath.

"No, No, it can't be." I shook my head, "So many foreign girls come every day in South Korea. She can't be the one who got robbed. Right?" I assured myself. 

I wanted to move towards the main road. I wanted to go home after this incident. But I didn't know why?

Why did I make an unwanted decision and move to the right turn? Just why? If the girl from the morning was robbed, still why did I care? 

Thinking about these things, I ended up reaching a middle-aged man with dirty clothes, who was checking a phone, and beside him, there was some luggage.

The man was so lost in his lust that he didn't even notice me coming.

"Going on a vacation ?" I asked with a smile. 

The man became shocked and glared back at me. 

"A long vacation, kid. Leave now if you love your life." He answered with a smirk.

"What did you just call me ?! Kid ?" I snarled.

"Maybe you would have gotten a little less beating if you hadn't called me a kid. But now you are a dead man because I am in a terrible mood."

I glared at him. He shook his head in disbelief.

"Kids these days."

"Ah~ that was the last time you called me a Kid!" I declared.
