Jessica's POV. "Excuse me ma'am, are you Miss Jung?" A man wearing all black suit called my attention. "Yes, I've been waiting for you." I smiled. Taeyeon had already informed me before hand, that I'll be getting picked up by him, because she was busy and couldn't come herself. I don't know why we had to go through the written contract at her house, though. "This way, ma'am." He gestured toward the golden and white rolls royce wraith that stood waiting for me. I smiled once again and headed for the ride. As we drive, I noticed that we were not at that elite neighborhood I was once brought to by that rude client of mine...also the place that Taeyeon found and helped me that night, and this isn't the hill villa she took me to, so where's this jaw dropping mega mansion? "Where is Taeyeon at? And where's this place?" I couldn't help but ask. "Madam, this is the Kims family's mansion, miss Kim asked me to bring you here." He answered. Goodness! What kind of wealth does these Kim family has? How one single family could own such a huge property, I can't fandom. If I would be exaggerating...I'd say they're the richest family in the whole nation. We drove through the golden gated residential, passing lots of exotic cars, we reached and stopped in front of the huge building. "Miss Kim is in there ma'am." The man told me pointing at a pavement that leads to somewhere and bowed deeply. I gazed at the goldstone-veneered estate. It has panoramic views from every room, and is lavishly set on acres of raw expensive realm. The natural rock and wrought-iron terrace is beautifully landscaped with archway columns and discreet lighting. it’s a complete paradise. I followed the man's instructions, which took me to a cobblestone sidewalk led away from the driveway and curves around the wing of the mansion, the path illuminated by dim lights. I spotted her imposing figure in the pool, I walked over to her and stood by the wisteria-covered terrace above the pool. kaleidoscope of color sparkled overhead as Taeyeon kicked to the surface of the Olympic size swimming pool. The cool water across her skin must be a relief from the sticky heat of the summer’s evening. Taeyeon broke through the surface, tossed her long blonde hair over her shoulder, and flicked water from her goggle as she waded in the shoulder-deep water to the pool’s tiled edge. "How long have you been standing there watching me?" My heart constricted in my chest. Then I froze." What? I just arrived." I said. She dragged the gold-rimmed safety glasses from her face and my breath hitched as her dark brown gaze pinned mine. Her wet blonde hair the glass skin of her face. And, is it me or does she really look different? I wondered but shrugged, maybe it's because she had onyx hair when I saw her last, I got to admit though, she looked good and innocent with blonde hair. I bent and scooped up the large blue towel at my feet and held it open invitingly. “Come out of the water and let's get over with the discussion, I need to get back to the hospital, soon.” “I’m fine where I am, thank you, but why don't you join me instead?” She partly joked but wasn’t moving from the privacy of the water. And I didn’t need to see more of her body than I already had. I stood silent for a moment then tossed the towel on the ornate iron table, and pulled up a chair before effortlessly folding my frame into it. Drumming my fingers on the tabletop, I lifted my chin and fixed her with a firm stare. "Why did you call me here exactly?" "To discuss and sign our agreement, things got serious when I informed my little brother about you, now my hal-abeoji wants to meet you, so we need to speed up the process." She said mindlessly. I stood and offered my hand this time. "Then, get out of the damn water so we can get over with it." She smiled and placed her hand in mine and the second our skin connected, a bolt of heat flared through me, a connection so strong it stole the breath from my lungs. With frightening speed I helped her out until she stood, dripping on my heels. She bent over to pick the towel she'd rejected earlier and wrapped it around her petite body. Her wet blonde hair hung like a heavy veil down her back, her luscious curves hidden beneath the towel. The blue bikini top cradled her s, but everything else was sheathed tight. She pulled the towel tighter and walked toward the exterior patio door that leads into the mansion and I followed. The sight in front of me caused blood to pump harder through my body and I don't know why. Her bottom swaying beneath the towel and the delicate dip of skin between her shoulder blades as she walked, made goose bumps traveled all over my skin. She waved a hand toward the downstairs wing and began to climb the stairs. “I’m getting changed.” I watched her go, appreciating the sway of her hips as she ascended, her bare feet reaching for each new step. Moments later, I heard her footsteps on the stairs and swung my gaze in her direction. She was dressed in a turquoise blue dress, that held tight around her generous s, flowed out across her body, hardly hinting at her shape beneath. Her hair now curled loose and wild around her shoulders except for a strand tucked behind her ear hung with a simple gold hoop. Standing straight on her heels. She took my breath away. "Glass of red or white?" she asked. "Just water would do." I answered simply. ~~ "Okay, let's get started." Taking a seat next to me, and reaching for a bag I saw sitting on one of the seats, Taeyeon withdrew a white envelope and pushed it over to me. "That contains a bank check for the part payment to cover my purchase of your time. My offer’s more than generous, think of this as a lucrative opportunity and use it to your advantage, you'll get more every month, and a few more bonuses when ever you do a job well done.” She smirked. I hummed, eyes focused on my cup of water as my fingers graze its rim lightly. "What about the money you paid for Soojung's surgery?" "That wasn't part of the deal, I'm human, so I couldn't watch a young girl lose her life for financial cause." "Then I don't need this. What would I do with this money?" She pinned me down with a hard stare. "You're like asking me what to do with your salary? It's your business what you do with it. You're my employee, you'll work for me and I'll pay you, what you do with your payment is non of my ." She said and pushed the envelope back at my direction. I nodded and accepted the envelope with a shaking hand, but not sure if I understood what she meant. I only needed the money for my sister's surgery and that has been taken care of, so I don't know what to do with this. This time when Taeyeon spoke, she was more hesitant. "Foremost, you’ll um, you’ll have to move in with me.” My brow creases. “I kinda thought that was a given. Married couples live together, don’t they?” Relief floods her eyes, and for the first time since I met her, I think this is my first glimpse of seeing raw gratefulness in the her face.. "Yeah, because not doing so would raise a huge flag. This way, it will be easier to convince hal-abeoji that we are, in fact, in love and all that jazz. And I’m guessing you don’t have your own place right?.” She asked. Well infact I don't, I have been staying at Sunny's one room rooftop apartment ever since our mother's death and the lorn shark took our house for the depths of our father who ran away from us years ago, while Soojung's been hospitalized ever since the accident. I shrugged. “I don't have a home of my own, but I stayed at Sunny's all these years.” She nodded. "So, um surely you'll like to see the contract I drew before putting it out in
