Chapter 3 Go live with your family

• "By..." Noah choked on his word as he sensed his boss's body go stiff beside him. His body was always stiff but it got stiffer.
• "By?" Emily raised her brows and looked up to him, not sensing the atmosphere in the room had gotten even colder.
• "Errr ..by.." Noah stuttered and pointed his index finger at his boss.
• Emily traced his hand and stared at Joel.
• "You hit me?" She asked.
• No Reply.
• "Yah ... I'm talking to you." she frowned.
• (A/N: Yah means hey)
• Still No Reply.
• "Erm, is he deaf and dumb?" She looked up at Noah.
• "hurgh hurgh hurgh." Noah coughed nervously, his whole body suddenly paralyzed in fear.
• '...if only this lady knew who she is talking to..." he gulped.
• "Yah!" Emily stared back at the god.
• "Are you really blind?" She waved her right hand over his face.
• "Uwa! Even if you are, are you deaf too?" she stared at him in all seriousness.
• " Errrr, Miss..." Noah called as he stole a glance at her forefinger, no ring.
• "Mwo?" Emily asked, not looking away from the mute god.
• (A/N: mwo means what)
• "Errr,.. .do you not know us?.." Noah asked keenly.
• Judging from the way the lady was talking, it was either she didn't know them or she was pretending–everyone in the country knew them.
• "I mean... do you not know him?" Noah pointed at his boss.
• At least, if she didn't know him, she'd know his boss. Everybody knew his boss. Everyone.
• "Anyo." Emily shook her head negatively.
• (A/N: anyo is another shortened form of no)
• "Y-yo-you truly don't?" Jude stuttered.
• "Ani." Emily shrugged her shoulders.
• 'oh my, which planet is she from?' Noah blinked his eyes rapidly.
• "But...." Emily pursed her lips.
• "But?..." Noah stared at her with rapt attention. 
• 'maybe she finally recollects.' he thought.
• "I think I've seen him somewhere before..." Emily narrowed her eyes and placed her right hand on her chin as if thinking deeply.
• "Hmmmmm....." She hummed thoughtfully.
• "Think deep..." Noah cheered her on.
• "Ahhh!. ..Now I remember!" Emily grinned and snapped her fingers.
• "So?.." Noah grinned at her expectantly.
• "Hmn...I think I've seen him at Quick Wash before." Emily clicked her tongue.
• "Quick Wash?...what is Quick Wash?" Noah stared at bewilderedly.
• Joel arched up his brows.
• "It's a laundry." Emily grinned.
• "You work there right?" She turned to face Joel.
• "hurgh hurgh hurgh " Noah coughed in astonishment as his heart got shattered into pieces.
• He stole a glance at his boss as he felt the room go cold from his boss' static body.
• "Why is there so much cold?.." Emily asked rhetorically, looking around.
• "The fan is not on..." she twitched up her lips and wrapped her right arm around her body.
• Noah bit his lower lip, staring awkwardly at his boss as his aura grew even colder.
• "Does boss look like someone who works in a laundry?" Noah quickly asked.
• "...." Emily pouted and stared at the god...
• 'he looks so handsome. His tuxedo, well-ironed,... broad shoulders. Hmmmmm, he doesn't work in a laundry.' Emily shook her head.
• "Hmmn, so if he doesn't work there, who is he then?" She looked up at Noah.
• "Boss is the C..." Noah's voice trailed off as he noticed his boss's body go stiffer.
• 'Does he not want me to tell her?...' he rubbed his sweaty palms.
• "Errr..., I'll go ask the doctor when you can be discharged." Noah quickly walked towards the door, excusing himself from the very tense atmosphere.
• He wasn't ready to get beheaded by his boss.
• Emily returned her gaze to the handsome mute god and continued to stare at him.
• 'is he deaf and dumb?'she thought as he also watched her with keen intent.
• "You are free to go home," Noah announced, grinning as he walked back into the ward.
• "Really?" Emily raised her shaggy brows at him.
• "Yeah. The doctor says you can come back after a few weeks to get rid of the bandage and the crutch." Noah replied, smiling sweetly at the pretty lady.
• "So, hum... how do I get home?" Emily stared blankly at him.
• "Your family members," Joel spoke up for the first time, his face expressionless.
• "Uwa!" Emily wowed, turning her head to him.
• "Di-di-did he jj-jus-just talk?!" She looked up at Noah.
• "Uhn." Noah nods his head.
• "Uwa!" Emily smiled.
• "But my family...they don't live around here." She pouted,her smile suddenly vanishing.
• "He'll take you home as compensation then," Joel spoke up calmly but coldly.
• "But ... that's not enough compensation..." Emily scratched her hair.
• Joel snapped his fingers at Noah. Knowing what his boss meant, Noah walked out of the ward quickly and in a short while, he was back with a checkbook and a pen in his hand. He filled in some things and tore out a cheque which he handed over to Emily with the pen.
• "You can fill in any amount you want." Noah smiled at her.
• "Mwo?!...any- amount?" Emily blinked her eyes rapidly as she stared at the blank cheque.
• "Nde." Noah clicked his tongue.
• (A/N : nde means yes)
• He clasped his hands together, "Boss here is a veeeeery generous man." 
• "Ahhh...so, if I fill in thirty billion won, he won't get affected?" Emily asked, pointing at Joel.
• "Animnida." Noah grinned.
• (A/N: animnida is a formal way of saying no .)
• "Huh?" Emily opened her mouth.
• "Hmmmmn, how about....one trillion won?" Emily asked, staring keenly at Noah.
• "I can write that right?" she asked, licking a side of her lips as she eyed the cheque.
• "Errrr...nde." Noah nods his head hesitantly.
• (A/N: nde means yes)
• "Ahhhhhhh..." Emily nods her head slowly.
• "What about one thousand trillion won?" Emily dipped the pen in her mouth and chewed on the lid.
• "Eynn?" Noah grimaced, staring astonishedly at Emily.
• Joel stared blankly at Emily as she stared keenly at Noah.
• "Umn." He replied in a low nasal voice.
• "Mbo?" Noah quickly turned to his boss.
• 'even though that amount of money means nothing to you, and you have much more than that, it's too much to give to a stranger... one thousand trillion won is another person's net worth...' Noah bit his lip as he stared at his unbelievable boss.
• Of course, he didn't say any of that out, or he'd get his ass fired .
• "You can have that amount if you want." Joel stared expressionlessly at Emily, paying no attention to his assistant.
• '....who exactly is this man... he must be rich.' Emily thought, sizing Joel up with her eyes.
• She decided to try one more time.
• "So...what if I want all the money in your bank account?" She blurted out, staring very keenly at the handsome god before her.
• "Huh?..ahh..you can't." Noah stuttered.
• ' is this lady a gold digger?..' he grimaced.
• "It's bank accounts, and you can have all the money." Joel replied, staring at Emily unwaveringly.
• "Mbo?!!!" Noah turned to his boss with disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
• 'is he crazy?..he's going to hand all his money over to a woman he doesn't even know..' Noah felt like hitting his boss' head and resetting his brain.
• But him doing that would not only get his ass fired, it would also get him locked up in the prison for the rest of his miserable life.
• 'b-ba-bank accountsss? ...like with a S?!!.' Emily almost threw up.
• 'he must be very very very rich!' she bit her lip.
• Emily stared intently at Joel for a while and sighed .
• "I was joking." She twitched up her lips.
• 'you didn't disappoint me.' one side of Joel's mouth curled up in a smirk.
• He knew that she was joking. He was simply only playing along.
• "Aigoo. " Noah breathed out a sigh of relief.
• (A/N: aigoo means OMG. It's used to show surprise, relief, shock, or irritation. In Noah's case, he was relieved.)
• "I don't want any money." Emily tossed away the cheque.
• "Eynnn?" Noah stared at her astonishedly.
• 'Everyone wants money..." he thought.
• "I don't want it." Emily shook her head.
• "Wae?" Noah asked poutily.
• (A/N: wae means why and it sometimes means what.)
• Emily clicked her tongue. "Why do you rich people think money is everything... Tsk tsk tsk." 
• "What do you want then?" Noah asked.
• "I live alone. And like this...." She paused, staring at her bandaged arm and leg. "...I can't live alone like this, it won't be convenient ." she sniffed.
• "So....erm...you are saying that..." Noah began to talk.
• "Go live with your family." Joel cut in.
• "I can't." Emily shook her head vigorously.
• "Then?..." Joel arched up his brows, gazing coldly at Emily.
