BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - Crafty Men
"So how did it go? Did he say yes?" Mrs. Choi asked her daughter with a smile as she strolled into her room and stood close to the vanity table where she was combing her hair. She had she has been fuming since her return from Dan-Han\'s office. She had a feeling her daughter must have succeeded since she had only returned now after leaving for such long hours.
Mi-Ok hissed irritably as she slammed the comb she had been using on the table and walked to her bed without saying a word to her mother.
Mrs. Choi frowned when she saw her reaction. She also moved from the table and plonked herself on the side of the bed where Mi-Ok was seated.
"Tell me what happened?" She desperately asked, her voice was lowered so no one could hear her just in case her husband or Jin-Ho, his right-hand man was walking past.
Mi-Ok hissed again in frustration. "Nothing happened. That idiot embarrassed me and walked me out in presence of his entire staff" She hissed again. Mrs. Choi almost rolled her eyes when she heard her. She was sure her daughter was being exaggerative and she was certain this was the umpteenth time she had hissed since her return
"What do you mean by nothing happened? What did you do?" Mrs. Choi asked. She shouldn\'t have helped her daughter in carrying out this stupid plan of hers by helping her out of the house against her husband\'s order.
Mi-Ok frowned and glared at her mother, "What do you mean by what did I do?" She asked angrily. "For your information mother, I didn\'t do anything. I went there but that cold and uncultured man sent me out of his office. He was so disrespectful to me" She snapped, as she grumpily moved to the middle of the bed before turning to her mother again.
"He should be lucky I\'m been nice enough to pay attention to him. Does he know how many rich heirs are fighting over me? No girl of my standing will want to be within a ten-mile radius close to him. He has no manners, his attitude is foul, and he has no dress sense. What\'s with him and the bland color of suits. President Lee Dan-Han should be thankful that Choi Mi-Ok is been kind to him. How dare he be disrespectful to me" She hissed furiously. "Completely mannerless" She cussed.
Mrs. Choi glared at her irritably. "You should keep your mouth shut before your father hears you, you damn girl" She didn\'t even want to waste her breath on her, because talking to her was useless.
"I warned you not to go, but you convinced me into helping you and yet you came back unsuccessful. Useless, you can\'t even Seduce a man properly. How did you become my daughter?" It was Mrs. Choi\'s time to hiss at her daughter.
Mi-Ok stared at her with her stink eyes before picking up her phone. Her hands stopped midway when the thought of that familiar girl came to mind.
She sighed as she squinted her eyes to remember where and when she had seen that face before. She could swear she had seen her before today.
"I know I\'ve seen her somewhere" She thoughtfully muttered to herself. Her voice was low but her words had gotten her mother\'s interest, who was about to step out of the room since her useless daughter was being annoying and disrespectful again.
"Who are you talking about now?" Mrs. Choi curiously asked. She knew her daughter had a knack for causing troubles that always resulted in her name having a special section on the weekly papers, making everyone to be extremely careful of her. Her husband had asked her to keep her in line so she wouldn\'t embarrass herself and ruin her chances before the marriage alliance with the Lee\'s was finalized.
"That girl" Mi-Ok absentmindedly replied as she tried racking her brain to remember who that girl was.
"What girl?" Mrs. Choi asked interestedly. "Did you go out to make trouble again?" Why couldn\'t this girl just know how to behave properly.
Mi-Ok snapped her head towards her mother, a heavy scowl plastered on her face. "What do you mean by if I\'ve caused trouble? Mother, you\'re being disrespectful to your daughter. Just leave me alone" She sneered at her. Mother Choi almost had the urge to slap her face and teach her some manners but she stopped herself. She couldn\'t hurt her face right now, they still needed her to get Dan-Han, that\'s only if she was capable and also a bruised face wasn\'t going to do them any good.
Mrs. Choi looked at her, as she eyed her wickedly. "Don\'t go about looking for trouble or else your father might kill you" Mother Choi warned before walking out of the room.
Mi-Ok glared at her back as she walked away. No one should tell her what to do. She was going to get Lee Dan-Han by hook or by crook and then she\'ll use that opportunity to get out of this God-damned house.
Her eyes popped when a memory suddenly flashed in her mind. She gasped when she finally recollected where she had seen that girl.
"It was her. That evil witch!" She cussed out, her face turning gloom with anger.
\'Didn\'t she work at the restaurant? So what was she doing in Dan-Han\'s office? There was no way she worked there now right? No way a useless girl like her, a non-entity like her would get a job in a place like PK.
"How could I have forgotten the face of that wench" She fumed angrily, slamming her hand on the bed. She would have slapped the daylight out of that bitch. How could she have forgotten the face of such a person?
"I\'ll see her again, and when I do I\'ll remember to give her the lesson of her life" She swore.
************
Eun-sun still couldn\'t believe what Dan-Han had done. He had kissed her on the cheek, how could he do that? She was lost in a reverie as she walked into the apartment, so much she didn\'t take note of the door that was not locked and shoes and bag were strewn on the floor.
She jolted and took a defensive stance when she bumped into someone walking from the kitchen with a duvet covering her body. She took a second look at the person and realized that it was Hei-Ran.
She took a deep breath and angrily pulled the quilt from her head, "Are you crazy?" Eun-sun asked in anger.
Hei-Ran gave her a helpless look, and sighed before pulling the quilt from Eun-sun\'s hand and covered herself with it, "Go away" She mumbled in a lazy and tired voice, which was very unusual.
Eun-sun narrowed her brows as she watched her make her way to the couch and plonk herself there. She squinted her eyes as she watched her seat on the sofa with the duvet covering her from head to toe.
\'What happened to her?\' Eun-sun asked herself.
Eun-sun dropped her bag and walked to the sofa, and pulled the quilt away again.
Hei-Ran turned to her with a weak glare. "Eun-sun please don\'t bother me, just go away," She said in a dull voice, while she covered herself again.
"What\'s wrong with you?" Eun-sun asked with concern. Hei-Ran was acting out of character.
"I want to hide here forever and stay invisible" She slowly replied.
Eun-sun looked at her, or rather at the quilt, and angrily pulled it and throwing it on the floor far away from her reach.
"Why are you bothering me now?" Hei-Ran asked, raising her voice slightly.
"You should start talking. What\'s wrong with you? Did your mother trouble you with her marriage stuff again? Or did that stupid boss of yours bully you again?" She asked, her eyes intently looking at Hei-Ran.
"Tell me, I can talk to your mother for you if she\'s the problem" Eun-sun informed her, but Hei-Ran shook her head.
"Then what is it?" She asked.
Hei-Ran lowered her head, "I\'m going to die Eun-sun. The heaven has turned their back on me" Hei-Ran lamented as she began to sob.
"What happened? You better tell me now or I\'ll look for your boss and seriously beat him up till he\'s placed in a wheelchair" She threatened. The look in her eyes showed she wasn\'t kidding.
"I kissed Mr. Song" Hei-Ran announced.
"You did what?" Eun-sun asked in horror.
"And now he wants to punish me" She added
Eun-sun frowned when she heard Song Jinhai wanted to punish her friend.
"What kind of punishment?" Eun-sun asked.
"He wants to date me," Hei-Ran told her as she fell to her side and folded herself like a curved ball. "Eun-sun I\'m going to die" Hei-Ran sobbed. She still didn\'t believe what was happening to her.
Eun-sun couldn\'t believe her ears when she heard her. "Tell me what happened," Eun-sun told her and Hei-Ran nodded her head and began to explain all that happened to her.
Eun-sun scoffed when Hei-Ran finished her explanation.
"You\'re sure going to die," Eun-sun told her after considering the whole thing.
"I am right?"
"Of course you are, because I think you just met your own Lee Dan-Han" \'Crafty men...tch\' Eun-sun scoffed in her mind.
