20 Lucass Advice (2/2)

Lucas cocked his head, his eyes not leaving hers. ”What did he say?”

Anger rose in her chest. ”That I was just a plaything since I wasn't from the high-class. Just because i'm not 'rich enough' doesn't mean i'm a gold-digger. He also had the decency to try to set up Jae up with his granddaughter right in front of me! Unbelievable.”

He shifted his eyes to the front. No words escaping his mouth. But she could tell he was displeased with her situation. Lucas originally had a dislike for rich people; this only fueled his emotions.

Then, he rolled up his white sleeves, revealing a collection of tattoos. ”What did your boyfriend say?”

”He didn't say anything,” Yoona answered slowly. Knowing that Lucas was going to judge, she quickly shielded her boyfriend. ”But you have to understand, this is a very important business partner. He couldn't act rashly or else it could be detrimental for his business.”

Lucas shook his head. ”Why are you even dating him?”

”What do you mean?”

At the bottom of her heart, she knew exactly what he was talking about. But still - she wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

”If I were him, despite the importance of that rude man, I would still defend my girlfriend. He didn't respect you. Therefore, he doesn't deserve the respect back. If there is a business deal between the two families, the other party can't back out that easily due to some measly words he doesn't agree with.” Lucas explained.

Yoona nodded. Everything Lucas was saying made sense. As she was a business major as well, she knew contracts and other legal issues were bind between the two companies. In a normal circumstance, there was no excuses. However, the situation was different for Jaemin, there was an extra twist to the story.

”I understand where you're coming from. From the bottom of my heart I wished he defended me. Instead of agreeing with the rude man. He could've at least said I was serious and different from other girls, it wouldn't have hurt him,” she said. Then a sigh escaped her lips. ”But the thing is, the Moon Group is comprised of his cousins as well. To become the president of the whole business, he has to gain the support of other business partners. Although I think he could've handled the situation differently, I see where he's coming from.”

Lucas send her a dead look. ”I get that but still. If he's acting like a tool now, how is he going to protect you in the future?”

Yoona hadn't thought that far. Her relationship with Jaemin was purely about the present, the future unknown. She never really thought about anything further than university. Their worlds were so different. All she knew was that her heart longed for him.

She shrugged. ”I'm not sure. I just know that I love him and he loves me.”

Lucas scratched the back of his head while scratching his button nose. ”Well, if its love then continue on with the relationship but if you want my personal advice, then you should know that I don't like him. Not one bit. But hey, what do I know. Just be careful.”

She smiled. Lucas really was a softie on the inside. ”Thanks Lucas.”

”You're welcome.”
