Chapter 11: Chapter 11

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

I came back to the office after getting a call from my boss. I was irritated at Yun-Joon for being a snake.

As I was working on Yoonah's work file, Yun-Joon came to my cabin and handed over more work files.

"These are all the files you need to complete." Yun-Joon scoffed, glancing at me.

He was smirking, standing there only to show that he had some powers in the office.

"I don't like snakes when I work ." I scoffed.

"What did you say ?" Yun-Joon raised an eyebrow at me.

"I said I don't like disturbance when I work," I explained.

"Why? Did you hear something else ?" I asked, smiling.

He glared at me for a few seconds and then rattled out of my cabin.

I laughed a little. Snake.

It took me 6:30 pm to finish half of the files Yun-Joon gave me.

My leaving time was 6 pm. So I just shut down my desktop and kept the remaining files in my drawer.

I left the office and booked a cab to Nuri's new hotel. Because I wanted to check on her.

I checked my phone and saw Nuri sent me two messages.

"Thank You, Daniel " and "I checked in at the new hotel. Room no xxx."

I couldn't get the time to check my phone, that was why I didn't see those messages until now.

The cab took me to the new hotel Nuri was staying in.

I paid the cab driver and made my way to the hotel.

I told the host at the front desk whom I wanted to meet and why. Then I made my way to the elevator to reach her floor.

When the elevator door opened, I saw a man adjusting the vacuum he had with him. At first, I didn't pay much attention to him. But suddenly I saw something fall from his hand.

It was a gun. The man picked up the gun in a fraction of a second and hid it perfectly, but I couldn't understand where.

Suddenly, he turned around to check if someone was there or not. I hid behind a pillar so he couldn't see me. When I felt safe, I peeked behind the pillar and saw the man was standing in front of a room door.

My blood felt cold running through my veins.

Because the room he was standing in front of was Nuri's room. The room opened, and the man went inside.

I ran as fast as I could and stopped the room door from getting closed. I needed to save her.

I needed to save her at any cost.

●Nuri's P.O.V.●

As Daniel had to go back to the office, I went to the new hotel again. Sitting in the cab for one time, I just felt I should go back to India. But the next moment, I felt bad about leaving South Korea. After so many failed plans, finally, I was successful in coming here. It was my first trip abroad alone.

If I went back early and said all this to mom, she would never let me travel alone.

"I can't go back. And no trashy man can cut my trip short." I looked at my phone and opened Makao talk.

"Thank You, Daniel."

I texted Daniel. His profile picture caught my eye. In that profile pic, he was wearing a royal blue shirt, looking sexy as hell. Suddenly I remembered Daniel was wearing all black today morning when he came to my hotel room.

Because of all the stress, I forgot to compliment him. But he was looking damn hot.

"Ah! I can agree with why girls fall for Korean men. He looks like a freaking celebrity." I thought, staring at Daniel's profile picture.

"Stop it, Nuri." I scolded myself as I realised I was thinking way too much about Daniel, "He is so handsome am sure he has a beautiful girlfriend as well. Anyway, why am I thinking about this? I need to focus on my tour."

I came here for two weeks for the trip and already two days wasted. I had only 12 days left on the list.

I needed to enjoy these 12 days anyhow.

"Shiv Ji, please let me enjoy these days. Please." As I was praying to God, the cab stopped.

"우리는 여기 있습니다." The driver said without turning his head towards me.

I glanced outside and realised that we had arrived at the new hotel as the Big logo of the hotel was in front of me.

I paid the driver and went to the hotel, and checked in.

I noticed Daniel hadn't replied yet. I texted him once again. Only to let him know that I checked in at the new hotel.

"I checked in, at the new hotel. Room no xxx."

As I pressed the send button, I took the elevator and went to my room floor.

"Please, Shivji, Please, this time, Don't let that man find my hotel, please." The Elevator door opened, and I went out to find my room.

I settled in that room and ordered something to eat.

After eating my lunch, I wanted to go out, but I was scared to go out. I wanted to go on a trip alone, but why was I so scared all of a sudden?

In the evening, I was ready to go out in My white and blue dress. And then I applied light makeup. But after preparing to go out, I sat on the bed still thinking if it would be a good idea to go out.

I watched the time on my phone. It was 7 pm. Suddenly the doorbell rang.

I went to open the door and slightly open it only to see who it was. It was a man in the hotel staff's uniform who was standing in the doorway with a face full of beards and long hair till neck.

" I came for the Cleaning, ma'am." He said while looking at the floor with his broken English.

"Okay." I opened the door for him, and he went inside.

He had a little vacuum with him. And as soon as I opened the door, he went straight to the bathroom. I glanced at the bathroom in confusion.

"Why did he straight go to the Bathroom?"

I almost closed the door when someone grabbed my mouth and came inside forcefully.

I was scared.

"Don't be the Kidnapper! Don't be the Kidnapper! Help Daniel." I prayed in my mind.

The man pinned me into the wall behind the door, pressing his hand on my mouth. I could feel his breath on my skin. Gathering all my courage, I opened my eyes and saw he was Daniel.

He signalled me to shut up as he kept his index finger on his lips. I sighed in relief. Thank God it was Daniel.

"But what happened? When did he come, and why did he enter like this?

Why was he telling me to keep quiet?" I thought under Daniel's body.

"Don't talk loudly!" He ordered, still pressing his left hand on my mouth. I nodded. Then he let me go.

"What happened?" I whispered.

"The hotel staff? Where is he?" Daniel asked.

"To the bathroom," I whispered.

He slowly tip-toed to the washroom, and I followed him. And when we reached there, Daniel entered the bathroom in a rush, and I heard a loud sound like something breaking.

I rushed to the washroom being scared, thinking something happened to Daniel. But when I entered there, I saw the opposite case.

Daniel was perfectly sitting beside the hotel staff who seemed senseless.

"Did you kill him?" I asked, being scared.

"I just gave him a taste of my taekwondo. He is senseless now." He answered while checking the hotel staff's shirt pockets.

"But why are you applying your taekwondo on the poor hotel staff?"

Daniel didn't answer and kept checking his belongings and his shirt and trouser pockets. Suddenly I saw the beard and the long hair coming out of that hotel staff's face. And then, the face of that hotel staff exactly started looking like the kidnapper, who was following me.

My blood became cold as ice. I was scared to even look at that man. I could only say, "Daniel."
