The Japanese Businessman のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Its been days since he left me hanging again with that delicious surfs and turfs. The phone call the day after was the last I heard from him. I tried calling him many times but I was always disappointed by no answer from the other side. Time flew so fast and days got rushed for me at Mode as I was assigned a new designing assignment. Every now and then Miss. Pierce assigns me with this type of challenges. I totally forgot about not getting in touch with Zen these few days. I was to design a full collection for showcasing at a fashion show for the rising designer column this year. I was busy the whole day seated at my desk thinking of designs that could define me. There were scrambled paper here and there on the floor and I was seated with no ideas that sounded exciting.As I busy working I saw Mr. Hatori coming in the office through the glass wall. I decided to ask him about Zen's behaviour of leaving me behind without any explanation and not keeping in touch with me, tha habit of hi

The day finally came when I had to meet Zen's parents. The thought has been stressing me out since last week when I had my first Confrontation with Zen about his small secret that was hell as small as an elephant. Smiling to myself at the thought. Zen I had been together since that night going on dates. He telling me things about himself and me telling him mine. It's been nice but thought of me meeting his parents who happens to be king and queen was too much to handle for me. Zen picked me up from my apartment and he drove me this fancy restaurant with high end tables and cutleries all over the place. The interior was amazingly done. The essence of traditional feelings was kept in mind with the designs. He led me to a secluded place I guessed was a private cabin for guests. When we reached at the door Zen looked at me with a smile. "Are you okay?"he asked me. I nodded in reply. "Let's do it then" saying those he opened the door and gestured me to enter. Once we were inside I sa

I woke up next morning on my bed. I remembered us watching tv as I dozed off. He must have carried me to bed last night. I searched for him in the place beside me on the bed and to my disappointment he wasn't there. I heard noise from the living room. I assumed him cooking for me again. I got up from my room as I wore the shirt Zen wore last night when he came to my apartment. It smelled amazing like Zen was all over it. I walked out the room and saw him on the kitchen station in my camos that were too small for him, drops of water dripping from his hair I guessed it was from the shower as he swaying his hips as he was breaking eggs into a bowl. I chuckled at the amusing sight before me. I walked towards him as he noticed me walk to him. He was checking me up and down as if he could undress me just by staring at me. "I see you've been cooking again" I said to him. "I see you're in my shirt again" he said winking. I neared him hugging him from behind as I placed a peck on the back of

I woke up to a droning roar in my forehead. The second thing I became aware of was the coppery taste in my mouth. I remembered the taste, it was chloroform. This built up fear inside me ad this wasnt the first time I have this taste or subdued by chloroform before. The one time when I was kidnapped by my dad's business rival when I was a child.I shifted in panick on whatever or whoever I was. The leather beneath me scrunched. The last thing I remembered was I woke up when I heard a commotion in my living room. I guessed it was Zen because I have given him an extra key to my apartment. I was happy as to see him early in the morning. I got up from the bed as I walked out the door the living area. But to my surprise no one was there. I looked around but didn't see anyone. As I was about to turn back someone held me from behind as he shove a handkerchief onto my mouth. Last thing I remember was doze of from the effect of it. I brought my hands to my face and rubbed away the remaining dro

When I woke up it was dark outside. The room's light was lit. I looked to the wall clock hanging in the room. It was six in the evening. I got up from the bed. Next thing I remembered was Zen calling out my name from downstairs. I literally ran out my room to see him subdued by the guys that I saw this morning at the airport. Ryeo sitting at the couch the same place where he was seated when I had asked him for the bathing stuff. "Oh my my, who do we have here?" Ryeo said in a very loud tone. "If it's not the prince itself" he added. "Ryeo where the hell is Haru?" Zen asked in anger. "Where are your manners brother. Not even greeting your elder brother" he said grinning. Zen eyes wandered all over the place till his eyes met mine I could see tears rolling down his cheeks. "Haru" he called my name in a very tainted tone. "Thank God you're ok" he added. Ryeo looked up to me. "Oh I see, Haru you have heard your love's call" he said. "Ryeo leave him" I said to him. "And why would
