THE UNSEEN THREAD

PART 8

Taehyung flinches back as if struck by lightning, his eyes widening in shock at the sudden physical outburst. He rubs his cheek where her hand made contact, feeling the sting of the slap. The crowd around them gasps and murmurs, shocked by the public display.

Taehyung was about to say something but Ye Joon stopped him as people were staring at them and some of them making their video.

"Don't do anything people are staring at us and you know it's dangerous or you'll lose the deal with Mr. Lee" Ye Joon whispered into Taehyung's ear.

Areeba glared at Taehyung "Do you have any shame?" Areeba angrily asked Taehyung while Maha grabbed Areeba's hand to stop her from saying anything.

"What happened?" a guy asked areeba who actually touched Areeba and it's the same guy Areeba met at the convenience store. Areeba looked at the guy "He touches me inappropriately" Areeba said pointing her index finger at taehyung.

Taehyung looked at Areeba in shock "Me?" Taehyung pointed his index finger at himself and asked in shock.

"Yes you, you tried to touch me" Areeba said as everyone in the subway started raving about Taehyung because he is a famous businessman in Korea.

"Look Miss I didn't" Taehyung took a step towards Areeba but Ye Joon stopped him and made him stand where Taehyung was standing before.

"Stop lying" Areeba angrily told Taehyung "I'm not lying" Taehyung said as he clenched his fists in anger.

"I'm sorry sir about my friend" Maha said in a apologetic way to Taehyung then Maha looked at Areeba and quietly whispered to areeba "There must have been some misunderstanding Areeba."

Areeba looked at Maha then angrily at Taehyung "There's no misunderstanding, I know these type of man's, always lustful."

"Enough Miss" Taehyung shouted,  making Areeba and Maha jump in their place “I'm not lustful or whatever you're trying to say me and I didn't touch you and why would I touch you in the first place” Taehyung said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm so sorry about my friend again" Maha said, slapping Areeba lightly on the shoulder.

"What do you mean, he did---" Areeba was about to say more when Maha placed her hand on Areeba's mouth "I'm really sorry sir" as soon as they reached at their destination Maha took Areeba out of the subway.

Taehyung and Ye Joon also came outside the station and sat in the waiting car and left for the office the office.

Areeba looked at Maha as they came out of the station "Why did you do that?" Areeba asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"Shut up, he didn't touch you" again slapping areeba on her arm "how do you know?"

"He was telling the truth because he seemed kind and I know I've lived in Korea longer than you so I know about people here" Maha's tone was serious now.

"Are you serious? you're just assuming," Areeba clapped her hands in annoyance. "I know more then you, so stop."

"I really want to punch you" Maha looked at Areeba and held her hand "Punch me as much as you want at home but right now we are getting late for work." They started walking towards the office, the office is 10 minutes away from the metro station.

Taehyung came into his office room and angrily slammed his fist on his office desk "Bitch" Joon followed him "It's ok" Joon said calming Taehyung.

"No it's not ok I really want to break that bitch's face" Taehyung said running his hand across his cheek where areeba slapped him. "just leave na, it happens sometimes" Joon sat down on the couch. taehyung also sat down on the couch "if I find her again she'll be ruined."
