Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep

Chapter 80 - The Date Night



Xie Eun stared at the sparse occupants of her wardrobe.It had been a few days since she had moved in with Yu Seok and all her stuff had managed to fit inside this small room.It was already Friday afternoon and she was tempted to take up Yu Seok\'s offer to help her study and cancel her date with Wolf. But then that would mean that she was scared. And even if she was,she did not have to show any weakness in front of her opponent.Yes, she had decided to treat Wolf as her opponent..Why they were on opposing sides,she had no idea yet. She frowned at the empty bag and then,muttered,"What does he mean to carry an overall bag and prepare for two nights? How did their date turn into a weekend getaway? Plus the audacity of the man! When she had asked about what clothes to bring along,he had really dared to reply,"Birthday Suit"!

A shiver raced through her(she refused to believe it was excitement) and she wondered if he planned to really make her his wife..Harrumphing,she wondered if she should pack her pyjamas only!That would teach him about not answering all her questions! Yes!She was going to pack her pyjamas and ruin all his plans. Opening the lower drawer,she pulled out shorts with various logos of batman,spider-man and other superheroes and threw then into the small bag along with a few random tank tops..As a safety measure,she packed away a set of Jeans and top!That was the extent of it!She was not taking anything else!She wondered if she should leave a note for Yu Seok.He had been working overtime these days at his new job and they\'d hardly had time to do more than say a passing hello to each other every morning. Writing a quick note,telling him that she would be back Sunday,Xue Eun placed her bag next to the door and then raced back into her room.The driver would be here any minute to pick her up and she was still at a loss on what to wear tonight...Once again she was tempted to take out something casual and show him what he meant by not telling her where they were going but then thought better of it..From what she understood,he would not mind but she could be embarrassed..

Picking up a simple black jeggings with an over-sized,of shoulder pink top,Xie Eun tied her hair in a ponytail at the base of her neck and applied some lipstick.It was only as she finished applying that the door bell rang. Picking up her cell phone, she walked to the door. The driver stood in a white uniform with a gift box and handed it to her the moment she opened the door."Madam,this is for you from the boss."

Xie Eun was hesitant to take anything from Wolf but she could also not give him face by refusing to accept.She took the box carefully and thanked the driver.The driver bowed and said,"Madam,you can pass your luggage to me.."

Nodding,Xi Eun passed the bag before saying,"Thank you.I will be out in a minute."

Xie Eun carried the box,which was big but not too heavy and thought to herself that if it was something tacky or expensive,then she would return it to Wolf tonight.He may have an abundance of wealth but she did not need such things.But to her surprise,there was a book of postcards in it! The pictures in the cards were so beautiful and mesmerizing!It was water but the timings and sunlight had been used beautifully to capture a sunrise,a sunset a moon-rise and even a time when you could see both the sun and the moon at the same time..She wondered how much time the photographer must have spent to get the picture at exactly the right moment.A pang of longing went through her at the thought. She could see that these pictures had been taken with a roll camera than a digital one and all of them were so beautiful..She caressed the surface of every picture and thought that Wolf really knew her well..she would really cherish this..At the end was a short note,"This is the location of out date tonight..."

Smiling a wide smile,Xie Eun placed the postcard book into her cupboard and raced out of the house and into the car.She had something to look forward to ..She had never been on a ship and the views in the pictures had been so mesmerizing that she could hardly wait to see it for herself.

Her eyes shined as she looked out of the car window.Soon,they had reached the dockyard and her eyes widened at the sight of the boat that awaited her..No,calling it a boat would be an insult to it!It was actually a cruise! A young woman in black uniform,bowed to her and helped her up the plank to the ship..Xie Eun looked around at the beautifully decorated deck in amazement.The hostess then passed on a small booklet,"Madam,these are the amenities that are at your beck and call during your stay here. Your room cabin is on the upper deck while the swimming pool is on the lower deck. The crew cabins are all on the lower decks and you can use the phone line and dial zero in case you need anything.. Dinner will be served in a few minutes on the upper deck."

The hostess guided Xie Eun to the upper deck where a table was decorated with flowers and ribbons.Instead of sitting on the chair,Xie Eun walked over to the railing,enjoying the gentle rocking of the yacht and the sound of the waves as they crashed against the shore..She closed her eyes and breathed in the salty air,marveling at this once in a life time chance.She stared at the dark ocean in front on her and a smile played on her lips.This smile however froze in place when she felt a presence at her back.Before she could turn back,a hard chest hugged her back and two arms came around her and the hands were placed on hers on the railing..A slightly rough chin was placed on her bared shoulder and a warm breath fell on her neck...
