Chapter 31 - If you want to know, follow me (2/2)
The old lady bȧrėly understands what she is talking about. She doesn't want to go to court. She has been threatened and warned. Even a few days ago, those people came back and asked her not to go. She doesn't have a good feeling toward Baek Han Sol. Besides, she isn't sure whether he is innocent or not. She can vouch for one time, but what about the other 35 times?
”Enjoy the meal.” Eun Min Ah smiles at her. ”Aunty, give it a thought. I will come tomorrow again.”
”My answer is no,” The old lady replies stubbornly. ”I don't like you. Don't come back.”
Eun Min Ah bends down on her knees and grabs her hands. She looks at her intensely.
”Aunty, you only have to say what you saw and heard. Whether he is guilty or not, the court will decide it. Your words might save an innocent man's life. He has a wife, right? His family is also suffering. They might have treated you wrong, but haven't they suffered enough?”
The old lady recalls the old madam and the old master's haggard faces. She has begged her a lot of times in the last three years. All the pride and arrogance were gone from their eyes. They wore cheap clothes. Baek Han Sol's wife also kneeled to her.
The Baek family has a lot of enemies. If she does it...
”My boss will arrange for security.” Eun Min Ah promises her. ”You won't be harmed.”
Eun Min Ah comes out with a good mood. She is ready to announce it to her mentor, but he is busy on a call.
”Ji-Won, I am four hours away from the city... I can't drive it back in time... No... Alright, I will try to make it to the wedding reception... I don't have a flying car...No, Hana is not with me... I am not lying... Call her again if you don't believe me... I will do my best to make it...”
He turns around and sees Eun Min Ah. Her heart flutters when she sees his warm smile. She looks away at the random trees and ignores her heart that is easily swayed by this handsome man's smile. She thinks about Do Sejin. It's been five days since their agreement began. He is complacent toward her wishes. But, she can't tell whether he likes her or not. She is sure that his family likes her.
What should she do? Is she not good in bed? She is unhappy because she knows that she isn't. She is not at his level. They didn't do it again after that day at the office. Is he already losing interest?
Jung Kwang-soo flicks his finger in front of her eyes. ”Eun Min Ah?”
”Boss Jung, I have convinced her,” She tells him with excitement in her voice. This old lady has been adamant for a long time. These type of proud people are highly stubborn toward people like him. She wouldn't even listen to him.
That's why he needed a young energetic girl like Eun Min Ah.
Jung Kwang-soo pats her head. ”I will treat you for lunch. What do you want to eat?”
Eun Min Ah curls her fingers. ”You have to go to the wedding?”
”I can't make it in time.” He sighs. ”Hana will attend it. That's more than enough for her. We might as well take this opportunity to visit convince a few more people.”
He doesn't know what to say. If the boss is fine with it, she is fine with it.
