"All of that just because he's handsome, he's disgusting," I muttered.
"What?" Baekmyo looks at me with one eyebrow raised.
I'm surprised. Hopefully he doesn't hear what I said just now. "It is nothing."
"Alright, finish your meal quickly!"
Fyuh...
Thanks goodness he don't hear me. His cold and flat demeanor make me feel irritated too, is there any kind of human like him? Do someone like him, their heart is eaten by dog?
"Why?" he asked in his usual cold tone.
I roll my eyes. "Hey, you don't intend to bring me fit a wedding dress?"
"Go alone! You have legs and arms," he said lazily.
I chuckle with annoyed. After a long time I can be hypertension when I'm with him. The way he talks make people get mad. My heart is devoured by him. Again, I should be patient.
It is too late to be sorry. I've agreed the contract. The crazy wedding will welcome me soon. Look like I should say goodbye to my poor pride.
All right, why me? Why should I be their savior angel? I'm not noble. They think, turn back a broken reputation is easy? And I, stupidly agreed it. The world is crazy, and I am crazier already received the lucrative offer from them.
"Give me some money!" I raise my hand in front of Baekmyo who enjoying his meal.
"What?" Baekmyo is dumbfounded by my sudden attitude.
"Give me some money! If you don't want to take me to the boutique, at least give me some money, I have no money at all," I said. I know it is embarrassing and actually I am so shy. I don't lie, I really have no money.
"I think you are a little better, but you match with your mission. You're a money hunter," he muttered and then smirk. That is the disparaging smirk.
I hate when he smirk like that. Ask for some money isn't mean materialistic, really petty.
"Yes, I am a money hunter. For someone like you, of course you aren't unwilling to give me some money, right? And you will never understand a situation like mine. Ha, of course. Since childhood you have been fed with a golden spoon, just give some money to the boutique, you don't wanna do it?" I roll my finger on the mouth of the wine glass. "Ha, what a cheapskate." I grinned.
Baekmyo give me an annoyed glance. His intense eyes like eyes of an eagle looks at its prey. Finally he give me some money, and toss some money on the table to pay the bills.
Finally he hears me.
-o0o-
To take the public attention, Baekmyo and I should appear in front of them. Almost every day we eat together in expensive restaurants, places that the respectable people use to go to. And I should look like a rich person. I feel like that isn't me.
Eating at a fancy restaurant isn't my style, but skip it is unfortunate. It is being a long time since I ate foods like this. Spaghetti, a sushi caviar roll, the most expensive wine in South Korea. Everything is expensive and delicious. I do it on purpose, just pretend I take profits of Baekmyo before I am used by him.
He ignores me, always like that. I can't believe he is a man with a pretty face, not handsome. Remember! Not handsome, but pretty. No, no, he is handsome, pretty, and cute at the same time. His skin is pure white, well treated, looks smooth too. All of that make me jealous when I see him. Everyone admire him, maybe even the genies also like him.
"What do you see? Have you never seen a man as handsome as me?" Baekmyo said confidently.
I roll my eyes in disgust and say, "Yes, you're right. Even the man in front of me is incredibly handsome, but sadly disgusting." Even though he is the only son of the President Director of HK Group, but I'm not afraid. I will not submit to a man like him even though he is much richer than me.
Baekmyo smiles sarcastically. "If you feel disgusted, why don't you refuse the offer? Aren't you more disgusting ready for marry a man as disgusting as me?"
I'm stunned. I admit that he is right. I smile sadly.
"Miss Lee, I will give you a chance to think more deeply. I will do the same as my father did, but you must side with me. Apart from paying for your brother's medical treatment until he is fully heal, I will pay you every month and I will give you a job. Remember, all that only if you help me," added Baekmyo.
I gulp hard. What other temptation is that?
"It's okay if you don't wanna it, but ... don't blame me if I rebel and make you choose to die than life."
"You!" I glared.
"I know what my father is thinking. I will be nice to you if you are willing to help me. How about that?"
What kind of son dares to go against his parents? He should have thanks to the President Director because the President Director helped him, cleared his dirty name. Same-sex enthusiast and brutal nightlife. How awful, what made him like that?
"I'll pay hundreds of millions as fines if I cancel the contract. You know I'm very poor, Young Master," I said.
"I'll pay for it." The gestures and tone are very convincing and contained the arrogance of Byun Baekmyo. I'm confused here. "If there is more, why choose less? How about it?"
My God, his mouth is so poisonous.
-o0o-
Finally, my wedding day come to me. I will get married. Right, I get married. Thrilling even though this is not what I want.
I think Baekmyo's parents are going to make a secret wedding ceremony for us, in fact they prepared for a luxurious wedding. They even invited some reporters. I quite understand with that first mission.
Let the reporter come and cover here, as a witness that Baekmyo is really married to the opposite sex. That way, the information obtained will be reported in the media, gradually the notion that Baekmyo is a same-sex enthusiast will gradually disappear.
I think I'm smart enough. I smile thinking about it, I just need to pretend to love Baekmyo in front of public. Will I be able to play it? "Very happy, huh? You almost rip your mouth when you smile." Suddenly Baekmyo come to the bride's room with a tuxedo attachs to his well-built body. For a moment I am stunned. He is handsome too when he wear a formal clothes like that. "I think you are engulfed by the earth," I said sarcastically. I don't expect that he will actually come to his own wedding and not hid or ran away. "Miss Lee Yongju, I don't expect you have so much guts. Not afraid to get involved with people like us. Out there, there are lots of wolves roaring to eat you." He looks at me. "You have three minutes left. Think about it quickly! If you change your mind, I'll help you to get out of here and I won't forget my promise." "Lee Yongju won't go!" said the President Director, suddenly come. "Baekmyo, this marriage is the only way to clea
"Oh, Madam, good morning. Sorry because I surprise you. Are you awake?" said the middle-aged woman with a friendly smile on her lips. "Ah, yes, good morning. But ... you ..." I said hesitantly. "Introduce, I am Yoo Minmin, the housekeeper in here. You can call me Auntie Yoo. Sorry yesterday I was back to my hometown so I could not welcome Madame." "Oh... I see, I think there is only the two of Baekmyo and me in this house," I muttered. "Madam, do you want to have breakfast right away?" "No, I'll help Auntie Yoo first." "But Madam..." "Why? I just want to help of my own desire. Auntie Yoo clean this house all by yourself, it's very big and it must be hard to clean it till shine like this. So, let me help you, Auntie." Finally Auntie Yoo surrenders. She let me help her to cook in the kitchen. Even though I am not good at cooking, I can at least cook rice and some of the easiest dishes to make. "Auntie, what is Bae
"Aish, my beauty is natural," I unconsciously muttered softly. "Lee Yongju!" called one of them which make me very surprised. "What did you just say?" My heart starts pounding, the chill runs from my feet to my head. Do I get caught? "That's... nothing. I'm just chatting with my friend," I reasoned. "Oh hey, you already know about our President Director's son's wife?" She looks like going to asks me to gossip. "That... yeah, I already know, hahaha," I said awkwardly. "Aren't you heartbroken?" You guys don't know who Byun Baekmyo's wife. The beautiful woman who you are accused of having plastic surgery is right in front of you! Huh, I wanna scream like that in front of their faces. "Why am I heartbroken? Hahaha," I replied with a bland laugh. "Huh, you're always boring, Yongju." "It's sad, this country experiencing mass heartbreak after Byun Baekmyo got married," said another. Mass heartbreak? Is
Only half of a day I am exhausted. Mopped a building this big, swept and wiped. My poor muscles. Of course that I'm not the one who did it, but this building must be cleaned every time. People walk around with their dirty shoes sometimes, sometimes they stomp their shoes on the floor when they see me sweeping. Maybe they think I also clean their shoe dirt. Huh! "Yongju!" my partner called me. "Yes?" "Designer Joe calls you in her office." "Oh okay." What is again? Jeez! I hurriedly leave my job and go upstairs to my former boss's room. I miss the design department, I miss my computer and the rotating chair. I miss everything of all about that. Arrive at the door, I knock it and quickly Designer Joe asks me to enter. She asks me to sit down, her expression looks very angry. "Lee Yongju!" She exclaimed. Apparently, she is mad at me. Designer Joe, who is never cynical to me from the start, suddenly put on a
"Baekmyo! You're bad! Bastard! Damn!" I shout, point at Baekmyo's face angrily. I keep screaming, try to defend myself even though the two men drag me out of that room. But who will hear the screams of the woman who works as a cleaning service? Several people have already crowd into the front of the director's room, they are looking at me curiously. They do not help me but even talk about my ugliness. Right, who will dare to help someone like me? Than against the command of director, it is better let I like this. -o0o- I can't sleep, even though it is past midnight and almost morning, I am still wait for Baekmyo to return. I walk up and down in front of his room anxiously. Of course for worry myself. He is dead or alive I don't care, the important thing is to solve my problem first. I want so badly to suffocate him, my hands feel so itchy. Where is he goin
What's more? Baekmyo's fans, even they are dare to tease me at the office. That is a problem between me and Baekmyo, why they takes revenge against to me? It makes me really frustrated. We are a husband and wife couple, don't they know? I wish I can tell them. "Yongju, bring three cups of coffee to the design department!" asked Soohe, a member of the Gossip Trio. I kick off the broom that I am holding. It's part of my job, but the more serve, the more spoil they are. "Can you wait for me to finish it?" I said. "Yongju, we were in the same department, but now we are different. You dare to go against my orders?" replied Soohe. "You can order to other person, Soohe." "Okay, I didn't insist." Soohe leaves me. I breath a sigh of relief, grateful that she doesn't continue to bully me. However, I am wrong. Just when Soohe disappear, cpme the team leader of the cleaning department. "Yongju, you really want to leave the company? After t
"Unfortunately I don't like gossip like that, it's not my style." Baekmyo closes his computer. "Then, who spreads rumors like that in the office?" Baekmyo shrugs. "I have no idea." "Wow, I don't expect them to seriously support you," I mutter when my mind is on the Gossip Trio. Baekmyo stands up, walks over to me who stand in front of his desk, then he pulls my chin with one beautiful hand. "I'm grateful for that. Now hurry downstairs and prepare dinner for me! I'm hungry," he whispers in a low voice. His treatment like this makes my heart rustle. Nobody touch me like this before, so I am nervous. -o0o- One bottle. Two bottles. Until two bottles of soju I crash, I cross the line. My head is very dizzy and I am barely conscious. My body's tolerance for alcohol is actually only two or three, finishing two bottles put me literally on the brink of consciousness. I want to die. "Miss! Miss! You better go home! You are alread
"Oh, sorry I didn't mean it," she said, she is Euna, Soohe's friend. A member of Gossip Trio. I know she is on purpose. "It's okay. Can you move aside? I'll clean it up." I try to be patient. "Sure. I think you were fired, it's no wonder Designer Joe kicked you in here. Turns out you betrayed your own boss," she said when several people pass down the hall. I stop my activities and focus on her. "You're teasing me? Unfortunately your insinuation is not quite right, Euna. Look for more accurate information again and thank you for your attention to me." Euna looks annoyed but can not says anymore. She leaves stomping her feet. "You gossip!" I grumbled. "Interesting," Baekmyo appears behind me with his assistant. By the way, the assistant is male. "Proved guilty but won't admit it. Even if you dodge it, the whole world knows you're guilty." "You!" I glare at Baekmyo who is standing not far from me. "You don't really deserve
