Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 23 - Conference Call



Jae-Hyun sat across his desk completely downheartened with Madam Lee's predicament. He wondered how she kept smiling with her present condition. Who smiles with a death sentence hanging over their head?

His major concern was Dan-Han. How was he going to explain to Dan-Han when he finds out that he knew about his mother's condition all this while but he still kept it a secret. ​​

It wasn't an easy decision for him. Should he continue betraying his friend or break his promise to his friends mother. Jae-Hyun was in a dillemma. Finally he decided he was going to help Madam Lee keep her secret, even though it might turn out bad when Dan-Han finds out. It wasn't in his place to tell.

Jae-Hyun was still lost in his thoughts when his phone started ringing. He reached for it and answered it when he saw it was In-Ha calling.

"Young master Mo" In-Ha chirped immediately Jae-Hyun answered the phone.

"Young master Kang, It must be a good day for you to remember the mere subjects like us from your throne" Jae-Hyun said mirthfully. He wasn't expecting In-Ha to call him now. It was good hearing his friends voice.

"You are indeed a loyal subject" In-Ha said as they both burst out in laughter.

"I guess you came around right?" Jae-Hyun asked. He knew In-Ha was back in the country the moment he saw it was his old number that he has used to call, and also from the sound of his voice.

They all knew In-Ha didn't like living abroad, but he had to if he ever wanted to be free from his family claws. Family issues has driven him overseas. In-Ha was a capable man, he was in charge of the company affairs overseas.

"Of course I'm back. I've missed the ladies, the food and of course the Emperor himself and his subject" He effused.

"We must call the Imperial emperor master Lee" In-Ha added before hanging up to make a conference video call of all three of them.

"Mmm, I can see your influence already. Our reputable doctor is now on the loose all thanks to you In-Ha" Dan-Han jeered at him as soon as he answered the call. He had just finished a meeting with the board of directors when he received the call.

Jae-Hyun felt a pang of guilt the moment he saw Dan-Han's face. He quickly composed himself to hide the guilty look on his face.

"Haha...He has been leading a boring life. I have to help him spice it up even yours too" In-Ha replied with a chuckle.

"I don't need your help. And my life is just fine and even better than yours with all the gene donations you spread around women" Jae-Hyun said making them laugh except of course Lee Dan-Han.

"You are wrong master Mo, I spread my DNA with only the 38B cup sugars I see" In-Ha said shamelessly, and the others were not surprised. In-Ha was the promiscuous fellow among them. He practically lived for the ladies. He'll never seen at an occasion with same woman twice. Fantasizing and talking about women and their tit size was absolutely normal to him, and it would be considered abnormal if he does other wise.

"Well I don't need to remind you, you might age so soon" Jae-Hyun warned.

"And don't forget about all the STD's in the world" Jae-Hyun would never let go of any opportunity to dish out medical advice.

"Well it's good to have you back In-Ha, but unlike you who leaves his company, some of us still don't have that privilege. so I'll see you at home" Dan-Han said dismissively.

"Running away now are you Mr Lee? I pray God to strengthen you to deal with In-Ha's nonsense. I'm convinced you're capable" Jae-Hyun teased. In-Ha was a handful of trouble and if anyone can handle him, it'll be Dan-Han.

"Well that's your problem, doctor. I called to inform you both that we'll be hanging out tonight at our favorite spot" In-Ha said excitedly.

"Well that's good. I'll be off duty tonight, what about you Dan?" Jae-Hyun asked. It was a rare occasion for all three of them to hang out since In-Ha lived abroad.

"I guess we have to accommodate young master kang" If it wasn't for the fact that In-Ha just returned back after a long time, he'll never agree to wasting his time tonight.

"Well that's settled then. I'll be seeing you guys later. And Dan-Han no chasing the ladies off tonight" In-Ha warned sternly. It was Dan-Han's habit of Dan-Han to chase off the ladies that comes around them at the club.

"I will if they bother me" He said ruthlessly.

"You are such a kill joy" In-Ha sighed in annoyance.

"In-Ha, I hope you are paying? Don't forget you are the one asking us out" Jae-Hyun asked him.

"What? Why should I pay when the emperor is with us. He definitely can't live off poor people like us. He owns the business world in his hand, even that hospital of yours. So it's your treat president Lee" In-Ha noted his last words with so much emphasis.

"Whatever." Dan-Han muttered casually
