The Second Love ||PJ&RP

CHAPTER 94: I'll take it

Unlike the outside, the inside of this
rundown building was in perfect
condition. The walls were black
and white in abstract.

Uncle Sam had designed one entire wall with only the yin and yang symbol. The open window from the ceiling allow natural light to beam inside like the shop was outside on a broad daylight.

To not attract attention from unwanted guests, the shop was built the way it is. No one ever bothers about an old  rundown building, so it was the perfect Cover up.

Rosé Han likes it when there's people who sees things the same way as she does. Not eye catching, but can blow one's mind away.

"Take a look around, if you need any help, just notify me."

"Mm."

Rosé Han nod her head and tour around the shop. There were rows of shelves neatly in order, each shelf held different items of valuables.

Slowing down in her steps, Rosé Han observe each item with attentively
until she came to the last item.

"Hmm.."

she sighed in slight disappointment.

There wasn't anything that caught her eyes, nor was there the one thing her grandfather has been looking for. Straightening herself, she turns to look at Uncle Sam.

"Are the new shipments also put on display?"

"Hahah, of course not. Ive specifically put them in the back for my prestige customers only."

Uncle Sam grin ear to ear with an evil look. Walking towards the back wall, he move an item on the shelf near by
and the wall move.

It was a hidden door.

Following behind the man, Rosé Han
scan the hidden room. The walls this
time was all black and the room was
dimly lit. Ifa someone else was to enter they would probably think they were on a horror film set.

Inside the room, there was only an oak wardrobe against the wall and a table in the center.

Rosé Han arch a brow curiously as Uncle Sam opens the wardrobe with a key and reach for a wooden box. Turning back to Rosé Han, he sets it down on the table.

"This is?" Rosé Han asked.

Uncle Sam smiles like an evil minister
from ancient time, "This Miss Han, is
the new shipment I received."

Rosé Han touch her chin and nod her
head. "I see."

Looking at the man, Rosé Han didn't say anything, but her expression was enough to tell Uncle Sam to open the
box.

Once he opened the box, he gestures to Rosé Han, "Come take a look. I promise, you won't be disappointed at all."

Rosé Han leaned forward to look inside the box. Seeing the item, a smile bloomn on her lips.

Lifting her hands, she close the box.

"I'll take it."

Uncle Sam stare at Rosé Han in confusion, "But Miss, you didn't even look at it. Are you sure?"

Rosé Han: "It's what I'm looking for."

Uncle Sam: "What if it's not?"

Rosé Han: "Uncle Sam wouldn't lie to
me."

Uncle Sam: "Heh heh, true, true."

Rosé Han turned around and walks out of the hidden room, "Please help wrap it for me."

Uncle Sam carries the box in his hands and trails behind Rosé Han.

Closing the door to the hidden room, he snaps a finger and from some unknown spot, a worker appears.

"Wrap this up nicely for Miss Han."

"Yes, Master Sam."

Rosé Han tilt her head and cross her arms over her chest. Looking at the way Uncle Sam organize his shop, she couldn't help but think about her paternal grandfather..

"Miss Han, is there anything else this subordinate can do for you?"

Rosé Han shakes her head, "That should be it, thank you Uncle Sam."

Uncle Sam laughs heartily, "Haha, whats there to thank? I am grateful to be of help to you."

Once the box was nicely wrapped and secured, Rosé Han didn't stay to chat, she needed to do some more shopping and go back home.

She wanted to see her baby!

From behind, Uncle Sam watched Rosé Han's figure walk through the hallway until she disappeared out the building, he sighed heavily with moisten eyes.

His heart felt pain and sadness watching the once small child he knew.

The masculine guard was still speechless at what happened moments ago, however, he gulped and ask, "Master Sam, that Miss..."

Uncle Sam glare at the guard for being an idiot, but being reminded of Rosé Han, he smile faintly and his heart
melted.

"That lady is the young Miss. If it was not for her, this place would not have existed, neither would I be the person I am today. Remember her well, I don't want any mistakes again."

Not waiting for a response, Uncle Sam walks back into the metal doors.

He didn't bother about the two idiot
security guards who became even
more idiotic.

Closing the metal door, Uncle Sam place his hands behind his back and looks up at the ceiling window. He couldn't help but think of the past.

Before he came Korea, he was once a lackey of a very wealthy underground boss in LA. Although they stayed hidden in the dark, they also worked with the government in the shadows.

When the old boss passed away, his granddaughter decided to go into business, she only maintained a good relationship with those who were loyal to her.

She wanted to help change the paths for her comrades and bring them to
a new life. Some members decided to
stay and work for her as employees, while others like himself, pursued a different path.

Of course, the granddaughter made
sure that everyone who left had a stable standing before she fully cut ties with them.

But unlike the other members, Uncle
Sam did not cut ties with that family completely. Although his path is different now, he still remains loyal to
the granddaughter.

Uncle Sam smiles as he remember his
life's journey with that family. He was friends with young master, but things changed after he passed away.

It was thanks to that family that even an orphan like him got to experience the warmth and feeling of the word
'home'.
