Chapter 163 - Amazing (1/2)

”Well, I'm not lying to you now,” Yanee countered with a pout.

”Are you sure?” her parents prompted again as they scrutinized her face.

This made Yanee torn between laughing and crying. Why wouldn't they believe her? It was good that at this moment that Chummy returned with the drinks.

”I'm sure. If you want to, ask Chummy,” Yanee murmured, feeling a bit aggrieved that her parents didn't believe her. But she knew it was her fault anyway.

At the mention of her name, Chummy chuckled. However, since she's the great sidekick, she quickly pacified the elderly couple.

”Uncle, Auntie, don't worry about Yanee at work. She's actually doing very well. She not only got promoted, but she was also given a very important job right now,” Chummy said meaningfully.

The couple's brows rose as they transferred their gaze from Chummy to Yanee.

”Mom, Dad, why do you look at me like that? Am I really not that trustworthy?” Yanee complained.

Of course, the couple shook their heads.

”No, no— of course, not. Dad and I are just surprised,” Mrs. Lee said in wonder before clapping her hands and then smiling. ”But if that's the case then it's great.”

Yanee sighed. ”Well, at the beginning, I really hated the idea of being at the literary department. I was even considering resigning from my work.”

At her confession, the smiles on the couple vanished again as they both looked worriedly at her.

”But?” Mr. Lee prompted, anxious to hear more.

”But just as Ami said, I've been working hard so in the end, I could work at Niji so why would I quit when I already kind of reached my goal just because I didn't like the task that was given to me. The new company gave me an important job. Even if I didn't like it at first, I couldn't be choosy. Besides, not all people can have this opportunity that was handed out to me. Many people would kill to take over my job right now.”

Yanee told them about her conversation with Ami. Just as she expected, her parents calmed down when they found out that her elder sister already discussed it with her. She would normally feel aggrieved as, without her sister, her parents would have trouble believing she's alright. But again, it's her fault. She was the total opposite of Ami whose nose constantly breathed fire. Her timidity was her undoing. They knew that Ami wouldn't let others bully her.

”Well, your sister's right,” her dad commented as he nodded.

”Right! So I accepted this task as a challenge,” Yanee genuinely told them. ”So you don't have to worry about my job, okay? Since I started my project I actually realized it's fun.”

”Fun?” Mrs. Lee quizzed and Yanee bobbed her head.

”Yes. I need to interview a lot of people for reference so I did a lot of traveling. All the people I interviewed and will interview are very interesting and I personally like them,”Yanee shared and she talked about the big sisters and their husbands.

”Wait— who?” Mr. Lee asked when Yanee mentioned the names of some of the big sisters.
