The sun beamed down on Hero’s face as if forcing him to wake up earlier then usual. He sat up and yawned while he stretched his arms out. He got out of bed and got dressed faster then he normally did. He didn’t seem to even notice that he was hurrying, but his gut told him something was not right. He walked out his door and headed towards his office. *I wonder if ~~~~~ is up.* he smiled softly to himself, but when he realized he froze. *Wait! Why am I caring if she is up or not? She is just my maid! Just the one who is going to pay.* Hero took a deep breath then opened the doors. Hyun Joo was piling some papers but you were nowhere in site.

“Where is ~~~~~?” Hero asked Hyun Joo.

She looked up and bowed, not having realized that he had entered, “She is not in here.” she said with a bit of concern in her voice. Hero frowned, and turned, storming out of the room.

“Where is she?” Hero muttered to himself as he walked down the hallway. He headed up to your room. He didn’t even bother to knock; he just barged in to find you not there. He slammed your door shut and scratched his head in confusion. *Where is she!?* Suddenly, one of the security officers, who had night watch, came running towards him, panting.

“Sir!” he yelled, quickly bowing.

Hero looked up, annoyed, “What?”

“Today when the trainee was reviewing the tapes, he saw a young girl run out of the perimeter. She didn’t seem to have anything in her hands, so she was not a thief. She also had not come through the gate the whole day so we think she was already in here or could be a worker.” Hero’s eyes widened, *Could it be ~~~~~?*

“Where were you?” Hero asked irritated.

“I was sleeping…” he mumbled.

“You were!...” Hero shouted but calmed down “Show me the tape!” He said coldly as he grabbed hold of the security guards collar. The man led Hero to a small room with several TVs in it, each playing different footage.

“Replay the footage,” the guard commanded a younger man, who was sitting in a chair. He was nervous but seemed proud to have found something so good.

“It is that one,” the younger one said gesturing to a screen. Hero watched the video closely. There was nothing then suddenly a girl sprinted out the gate. The boy re-winded and slowed it down. *~~~~~!* Hero thought wide eyed.

“Do you have any idea who….”

“Go find that girl!” Hero shouted, fuming. The guard straightened up and nodded. “Get as much help as you can, you have permission to use anyone!” The security guard nodded and ran out of the room. Hero looked back at the paused screen. *So this was why you were nice.* He laughed to himself, at his own idiocy. He walked out of the room and headed to his car. When he sat down, he rubbed his head. His head was aching from everything. But the worst part was that he didn’t know if he was angry, concerned or frustrated. All he knew was that he didn’t want you to leave whether it was for revenge or something else.

How did you like it? I think at this point it is that Hero feels connected with you because he thinks you are So Eun. But that will change later. I hope you look forward to the next chapter. PLEASE COMMENT!
