He is The Boss || Markrong

Chapter 46 || He is the Boss

Mark

My mother called me last night to inform me that her husband wants to have a breakfast with his children. I drove to our house and found Ashley's car parked.

"Good morning, sir." One of our maids said as I pushed the doors open. She was busy cleaning the windows from the outside. 

Before going straight to the dining room, I removed my coat and placed it on a chair."Please don't touch these." I said to a maid then walked away.

It was not quiet when I entered the dining room. Even without me, Ashley and Dad was already arguing about her business in abroad.

No one noticed me when I sat on the chair across my mother, who is silently eating."You came." I heard her say it amidst the talking beside us."How is the company doing?"

"The usual." I replied, keeping my eyes on my food. She didn't further pressed any question on me and focused on her food as well.

I was about to leave the dining room since I already finished the whole stack of pancakes. I heard my father's calling my name."You should wait for the others as well." He told me.

I sighed and then went back to the table."Have it your way." I muttered with my arms crossed. Chorong came to my mind again when I saw Jane walking in the dining room."What is she doing here?" I asked, my tone louder than before.

"Watch your mouth." My dad said in a threatening way. I  glanced at Ashley who is mocking me. I took a sip of my water and then walked out.

Jane was staring at me as I bumped into her. I grabbed my coat from the chair I placed it on and then went to my car."What's your problem?" I heard Jane yell from afar. 

I didn't look back and went inside my car. When I was about to close the door, Jane blocked it."What are you doing?" I asked her. 

"Will you stop taking your anger out on me?" She said in a very annoyed tone which is making my ears bleed."You should be focusing on me since we are almost getting married."

That made me want to leave right away."Do you even like me?" I asked her, straightforward. She froze on her place and was unable to answer my question."I know that you also have someone else in your heart."

"I don't." 

"Why are you lying?" I asked."I respect your feelings towards him and did I do something that could ruin your relationship with him? I didn't."

"Or, perhaps you want me to?" I added.

Jane was speechless and stepped back for me to close the door. I started the engine and drove to where I wish to go. I've been wanting to see her again.

I was eager to see her, since I delivered her the flowers that was meant for our anniversaries before. I doubt that she knew what that day was."I am a fool." I mumbled.

I stopped in front of the park where I saw her last but she wasn't there. I had no choice but to call Taehyung. I dialed his number and then placed it on my ear.

"I don't know where she is." Taehyung answered in a very formal way."But, you can find her in a library, her apartment, school, and the park. That's all, I have to do my work."

"Thanks." I said before he ended the call. I quickly walked to the nearest library I know and entered but no sign of her. 

I walked towards the librarian and asked,"Have you seen a lady with a fair skin and brunette hair, she is about this tall?"

The librarian thought for a while and then shook her head." I don't think those would help me, even though we only have little costumer." She said.

I nodded then sighed."Thank you for your -" I paused when I remember that I have a photo of her and showed it to her."Can you look at this photo?"

She smiled."Yes, she often visits." The librarian said, then gave me a book."She just came here earlier but left and forgot to take this book with her."

I stared at the book she gave me and read the title."We." It simply said in a big font. I bowed before running to the school I know.

It's an elementary school. Kids are already outside playing on the field and there I saw her, smiling brightly."Stop taking the toy from her." Chorong said to a kid she bought ice cream before.

I slowly walked towards them but stopped as I realized how her smile would disappear from seeing me.

I smiled at a kid who saw me. She stood in front of me as she started."Hey, can you do me a favor?" I asked her."Give this to the pretty lady over there."

"Ms. Park?" She asked. I nodded which she quickly run for. I glanced at her once more and then walked towards the gate of the school.

I was about to leave when I felt a pair of arms behind me."I guess I was too slow." I said, staring at the ground."I didn't want you to see me."

"I hate you for that." Chorong replied with her face buried on my back.  Is she crying? I asked myself. I grabbed her arms and turn towards her to see her face.

I smiled."You shouldn't cry for a guy like me. I don't deserve it." I said as I saw her tears. She stared at me as she kept on crying."You look pretty."

She laughed."Shut up, I know that you are lying." Chorong said as she hit me on the stomach. I groaned then laughed as well."Why are you here, by the way?"

"Actually, I just wanted to see you." I said.

"Are you having a hard time?"

I was surprised to hear her said it because I am and I don't want her to know."When did I ever had a hard time?" I asked her. 

"You do."

"I am sorry about last time." I apologized, trying to avoid the subject as well. She looked at the ground and grabbed my hand."I am ruining your day again, huh?"

She looked at me."I am sorry, too. I didn't mean everything that day." Chorong said, biting her lower lip."But, nothing changes, right?"

"It's been a long time since we talked."I mentioned, not leaving her gaze. I remembered how she cried as well that day and I couldn't even go back because a lot happened with Jane and my family that day.

"I know you won't but, will you stay here?"

"Should I?"
