Chapter 160 - The garden [2] (1/2)

Moon Jiwoo did not know whether or not to curse at herself for being this clumsy or target it towards Sookyung for being this heartless.

This actually brought her back to the memories of when she had first met the boy. At that time, she took the boy to be completely heartless and ungrateful before he began to get softer with her.

That was a side of his she started to get used to, and due to that, she totally forgot about how he used to be in the beginning.

However, although he was not a nice fellow then, because of how she had the upper hand at that time, she did not find herself being much affected by his antics.

But this was a different case.

This time around he was truly the superior one, and there was nothing she was able to beat him in. No matter how much she tried, she could not think of a way she would be able to dominate the male.

Because of how she messed up some of the flowers, she had to stay and fix them during the time she was supposed to have her lunch. Therefore, this is how she got stuck with gardening while Sookyung and Jaehwan happily enjoyed their meal.

Of course, believing that she was a mȧturė person, who did not take out her anger on others because of her mistake, she did not lash out at Sookyung when he mentioned on how she would not be able to have lunch unless she was done with all of this.

Surely, he doesn't have any personal grudge against her. This was only due to how she caused a mistake, and if it wasn't for that, he would have allowed her to enjoy lunch.

He was merely being a strict boss— nothing Moon Jiwoo can't handle.

By the time it was ten in the night, Moon Jiwoo was still starving, and she was unable to take in a glass of water due to how busy she was kept throughout the entire time.

When it was time for the dinner, Sookyung and Jaehwan dined alone without giving her a chance to say anything. Although the middle-aged man looked at her with pity in his eyes— not that it helped in any way— he was completely helpless against Oh Sookyung.

Now, that she was finally done with all the work ȧssigned to her, she was about to inform Sookyung about the entire thing and see his reaction.

But before she was able to approach the male, she heard the conversation between him and Jaehwan. Instinctively, she hid behind the wall at that.

Seeing how she was hiding, she scolded herself. It wasn't as if she did anything wrong; she couldn't see the purpose of concealing herself from Oh Sookyung.

But before she was able to bring herself out from the hiding spot, the snippets of their conversation reached into her ear, and seeing how her name was mentioned, she hid behind the wall again.

”Aren't you being too cruel that girl, Shin Daerin? She hadn't eaten anything, and she must be starving. You shouldn't be hard on such a small girl,” Jaehwan started.

Moon Jiwoo found herself agreeing with the words she heard from Jaehwan, and she nodded her head along with it while a small smile formed on her face.

”It's fine. Nothing will be happening to her. She will survive,” Sookyung stated.

”I guess, but can't you see how difficult it is on her? It's not as if I needed help with those things in the first place. Are you taking revenge on her for something?”

Moon Jiwoo found her ears perking up due to those words.

”I guess you can put it in that way. I hate her, and let's just say torturing her like this pleases me,” Sookyung vocalised, ”I want to see her in more pain.”

Moon Jiwoo would be lying if she mentioned how those words of his did not affect her at all.
