Chapter 150 - Another Interview (1/2)
”Oh gosh!” Yanee placed her hands against her cheeks as she shook her head.
”Why are you suddenly looking all cute?” Nixie teased her.
Based on how her eyes twinkled, she already had an idea why Yanee was acting like that.
”You also thought that Han was his manager right? You did not expect that it was Jason,” Nixie giggled and Yanee nodded with a laugh.
”I was stumped! I was totally not expecting that. But that's better isn't it?” Yanee prompted.
Since it was the case, there was nothing for Jason to be jealous of. Or so she thought.
”You're thinking that Jason's not jealous anymore since it was him I first fell in love with all along, right?” Nixie prompted and when Yanee nodded, she snorted. ”Ha! That's not the case at all. The reason why I became his ȧssistant was so he could keep an eye on me. He didn't care if we're surrounded by models and handsome actors but goes vigilant when we're with overly healthy people. My husband thought I have a fat fetish for a long while before he calmed down.”
Yanee was stunned.
And then she laughed.
”Oh my gosh!” She couldn't believe someone who had Jason's looks and status would be very jealous. ”I have no idea what to say.”
Nixie laughed then. ”Don't say anything. Save all your words since your potato produces more vinegar than my husband.”
Eh? EHHHH?
An image of a potato soaked in vinegar came to her mind.
”Really?”
Nixie grinned. ”No idea. But he has the tendency. Your ex was lucky since he's a jackass.”
Yanee frowned. ”What does my ex has to do with this?”
”Don't you know?” Nixie was surprised she really had no idea. ”The only reason he still exists is because you both ended up in bad terms.”
”What?” Yanee looked incredulous. Did this mean that if she and her ex were on friendly terms she'd have a hard time handling her boyfriend?
”Yes,” Nixie told her matter-of-factly as if reading her mind, and she laughed at Yanee's conflicted expression. ”Don't worry. I can imagine he can be totally cute when's he's jealous.”
Yanee smiled sheepishly. She didn't want to think about it. She'd only started dating Tohru less than a week. There were still so many things she didn't know about him. It's best to ask him directly than second guess things. As she'd learned from the stories she'd heard so far, even if it's hard, it's better to ask and bravely hear the answer than think on her own.
Yanee couldn't remember when it was and why this topic was brought up, but there was something that Ami had told her one time years ago that she retained in her mind.
Ah! It was that time when she thought she couldn't make the interview when she first applied for work in Tokyo.
”What are you thinking about?” Nixie asked curiously and Yanee smiled.
”When one thinks, one overdoes it and doubts start to sprout. Doubts evolve into a darkness that consumes the heart.”
”That sounds so profound. Where did you get it from?”
”My sister told me those words years ago when I first came to live with her,” Yanee answered and Nixie almost whistled.
”Your sister is smart then. You should be as smart and not just keep these words to heart. You should also practice them,” Nixie advised and Yanee nodded.
She couldn't refute that.
”Anyway, just like what I said, the little brother wanted us to discuss the lesson of my story because he wants to let you know that other things didn't matter,” Nixie reminded her and she smiled, continuing her words in her mind— the unspoken part.
Other things— physical appearance, status, education, etc. didn't matter. What mattered was that they liked each other.
Somehow, Yanee's heart was appeased.
”You look happy,” Nixie commented.
”I am,” Yanee admitted. ”I'm at the point wherein even if the potato tends to soak in vinegar, I'll be patient,” she replied making Nixie laugh.
The two of them chatted more for a while before going back to Jena's room. When the two of them arrived, they heard giggling sounds from the doorway. When they entered the hospital room, they were pleasantly surprised to see Jisoo there along with two children.
