My eyes are always searching for you

Chapter 22

Wait a minute, did I hear a Sorry?

Why would he say sorry?

Is he going to kick me out as a translator because I ruined his image? Maybe that's why he is sorry.

I should keep in mind that now he is my boss and not just Minho.

I blinked as he again said, "Sorry Sara-
I interrupted him as I blurted out, " Oh no Minho. I am Sorry. Please don't fire me. I was wrong, I know but I want to do this job."

He said, "What?"

I replied, "What?"

He chuckled as he said, "Sarah, first listen to me. I am sorry because....umm.

He hesitated a bit and then said, "I didn't know what to do in such a situation, So I said you were my girlfriend. I said I am living with you right now. I am not firing you from your job. I just made you my fake girlfriend."

Oh, so he said I was his girlfriend. Okay. Wait a minute! Me? His girlfriend? What?

I looked at him, "What?"

He looked down and said, "I know it's not appropriate. I hate myself to tell such a lie. You know I hate lies, but I just didn't know what I said."

I can say he was raised by a very strong woman who taught him to apologize when he find himself wrong. I would say I really admire his mother. I would love to meet her. He is so perfect!

He was looking like a little child apologizing for stealing a toffee. I couldn't help but smile. He looked so cute.

I stepped on the sofa so that I can be taller than him and lifted his face with both my hands.

"Why are you saying sorry? It was me who was wrong."

He was looking at me with surprised eyes.

"I don't mind if they think I am your girlfriend." I continued.

"Really?" He said with unexpected enthusiasm.

His expressions quickly changed from an innocent child to a flirtatious boy.

I realized my face was too close to his. I was withdrawing my hands from his face when he grabbed them and placed them back on his face.

"Are you sure?"

Why does he have a flirtatious smile? I am scared of this smile, it makes me think of things that I can't control.

I pulled my hands and said, "Yeah. It's okay. It doesn't matter anyway. Your colleagues are in Korea. Why bother about them? I don't think I'll meet them anyway. So it's okay even if you say I am your girlfriend. You can save your image and when you go back just say, we have broken up."

He stepped back a step and said, "okay." I felt hurt in his voice.

He became unexpectedly quiet.

I went into the kitchen and made breakfast or we can say lunch for both of us as it was already 2 pm.

He was eating his lunch quietly. It seemed an awkward situation so I decided to break the ice.
"Um... I ... think I need to explain what happened yesterday night."

Without lifting his head he said, "what's there to explain" he continued eating.

"I was just trying to cover you with a blanket When Alex came out. I panicked and fell on you. Don't take me wrong."

"Why did you panic in the first place? Were you doing something wrong? "

"Umm..no."

"Then.…"

"I don't know... I am just saying that please don't misunderstand. I wasn't trying anything on you."

He stood up suddenly and said, "I understood"

He went out without a word.

Why is he being so grumpy? Did I say something wrong? What does he want me to do? I tilted my head as I was confused.

I cleaned the table and went into my room to change. I have to go for my shift at the cafe.
