Chapter 144 - Crazy King [2] (1/2)

The attack with the poision wasn't the last of it. Even after that, there were many attempts to take her life, but everytime, Moon Jiwoo remained to be safe from all of those somewhat. Due to the tight security and smart working of the guards, there hadn't been anything fatal yet.

It seemed that Oh Sookyung wasn't kidding when he said he will put in his utmost best this time around.

However, that wasn't enough to make Moon Jiwoo feel completely safe. These days she avoided leaving her room as much as possible, and for the most part, she stayed around her room, finding that to be the most secure place.

As much as she wanted to visit the garden and calm her mind, she prevented herself from doing so.

After seeing how Jihoon was able to enter that place, she doubted the security of the place. It's not as if she held any distrust towards that man; it was merely that if he was able to go in, that meant that it would be possible for other people to go as well.

Although less than two weeks were left, she hadn't felt this anxious within this two months. As the time period kept on decreasing, the more frightened she had grown to become.

Taking in a deep breath, she knocked at Oh Sookyung's office. Although the man must be busy over this period of time, she still wanted to pay him a visit as she was too anxious to remain in her room all by herself.

Moreover, Eunmi was present at here as well, and in the presence of both of them, maybe she would be able to feel better. At this rate, the headache forming was starting to get more painful, and she had an urge to throw up.

Having people around whom she trusted might take away the nauseating feeling within her and may allow her to sleep peacefully at night.

Hearing the 'come in' from inside, she pushed open the door slowly, and knowing that Oh Sookyung will be worried after seeing the current expression on her, she placed on a smile upon her features.

The sound she made from opening the door caused Oh Sookyung to hide the document he was going through behind some of the papers, and raising his head to look at Moon Jiwoo, he wore a smile upon his face.

It was obvious to Moon Jiwoo on how he was trying to hide that, and she more or less had a clue on what that possibly could be about. Although she knew that he was trying to plan this as a surprise for her, that didn't indicate that she did not feel pain when he tried to hide that.

A sharp ache went through her ċhėst at the thought of keeping it secretive from her. It made a part of her question whether or not he actually trusted her.

Although he hadn't given her any reasons to have those doubts until now, it was if when one is completely anxious, many types of thoughts tend to go through their mind, and most of them are negative.

Maybe this was one of those situations for Moon Jiwoo. Instead of seeing him making her feel better, it was starting to worsen her mood at this moment, and she desperately hoped for it not to be shown on her face even though he read her like a open book at times.

She would seem too pathetic in his eyes if he got to know of all the worries she had in her mind, and that's one thing she did not want for him to think.

Already she was filled with way more flaws when it came to him, and she did not want him to discover more of her imperfections. Regardless of how confident and proud she acted, Moon Jiwoo knew how she had almost zero postive points.

She was lacking in all the aspects, and no matter how much she tried, she wasn't able to make herself a better person.

Thinking about it right now, rather than him being unsuitable for her, it was quite the opposite. Judging from how he was, it would not be surprise for him to have a higher standard. Moon Jiwoo knew that someone with higher standards wouldn't go for her.

'What the hell is wrong with you, Jiwoo? Why are you thinking of things like that? This is not like you. Yes, you are troublesome, but it was him who chased after you. Just calm down! This doesn't suit your image!'
