Chapter 123 - Precious [2] (1/2)

Junghwa was most definitely brought trouble to her ever since they have met. This was one thing she was confirmed about by now, and unless she got rid of the female completely, she would not be able to get away from the bad luck.

The situation right now was one of the examples.

After Moon Jiwoo was done with her lunch, she wanted to spend rest of her afternoon in peace, but that wish of hers was disturbed when she was called by Han Youngmi, Sookyung's mother.

Moon Jiwoo wanted to let Sookyung know about it and run away from the scene but decided against it since she did not want to seem like a coward.

'It's just a old lady. How bad can it get?'

Folding her arms over her ċhėst, Jiwoo wore an arrogant expression upon her features, and following after the maid, she stepped into the room. The maid bowed at the woman inside the room before leaving, closing the door behind her.

Jiwoo stared at the woman sitting on the couch with scorn. She recalled how the very woman insulted her last time, and Jiwoo was known to hold grudge for a long time.

”Why are you searching for me?” Jiwoo questioned.

She wanted to get out from this room as soon as possible and did not want to get involved in any beating around the bush or sweet talks.

Without paying any attention to Moon Jiwoo, the woman raised her tea cup, and bringing it over to her mouth, she took a sip out of it while a relaxed expression sat on her face.

Seeing the woman's attitude, Moon Jiwoo found herself being irritated. Nonetheless, she wasn't crazy enough to attack an elderly woman regardless of how irritating she found them to be.

Letting out a scoff, she turned her back on the woman and was about to leave. If the woman had no intention to talk to her, then, there was no reason for her to stay in this room.

Before Jiwoo was able to touch the door knob, the woman voiced out, ”How ill-mannered are you! I have called you at here yet you are leaving without my permission! You really need to be shown your position at here properly! You need to be punished!”

Hearing the woman's angered voice, Moon Jiwoo let out a chuckle, and turning to face the woman, she raised one of her eyebrows before saying, ”You say really funny things at times. Why should I even obey you at the first place?”

”That's because you are such a mere servant at this place in the first place! Just because Sookyung had treated you kindly, don't tell me that you forgot it, You Imbecile! Your existence—”

”If you brought me here to insult me, I would rather leave,” she voiced out, ”I don't how many more times I have to say about it, but I am not good when it comes to dealing with my temper.

Servant or whatever I am, it has no connection to you, Old Lady. So, stay out of my business. I don't care which bitches seduce Oh Sookyung. That's why, keep me out of it. I am not someone who shows courtesy to old woman.”

Creases formed between both of her eyebrows as the woman stood up abruptly and began to make her way towards Moon Jiwoo. Jiwoo stared straight at the woman without showing any signs of being intimidated.

Then, all of a sudden, taking Jiwoo by surprise, the woman raised her hand and planted it against Jiwoo's cheek. A loud sound travelled through the room while a sharp sting went across her cheeks. Jiwoo stared at the woman with widened eyes.

”How dare you, You Mere Servant! I will be responsible for teaching you your place at here! You have crossed your line a long time ago!

You should have been dead yet my son did a great favour in keeping you alive. In return for that, you are showing such an attitude! You just defile this place! Either kill yourself or leave this place.”

Initially, Jiwoo decided to handle this without creating a ruckus, but by hitting Jiwoo, the woman had gone too far. Once the woman had done this, there was no way Jiwoo was able to hold in her anger anymore regardless of how elderly Youngmi was.

Silently, Jiwoo made her way to the table and swiftly picked up the cup of tea. Seeing the tea inside the cup, she did not waste a second before spilling the entire liquid upon the woman's head.

As the wet liquid travelled down her head, the woman's eyes widened, and a gasp escaped from her lips. Raising her hand, Youngmi touched the wet surface of her head before glaring at Jiwoo.
