Chapter 2

It might be because I was so hungry and I just want to eat the delicious food that's why I was kind of aloof towards Hyun-jun that morning.

I wasn't in my usual fiery mood. A person will never have the energy to bicker with anyone when they are hungry.

Anyway, that devil's actions were really weird. He's like initiating a normal conversation with me. But that will never happen! After the entire catastrophe he puts into my life, I will never to talk to him in a normal way.

I guess we will be forever enemies. I do hope it will stay like that.

Ugh, I shouldn't think of him. I must finish these yummy treats and start my work.

After three hours of signing and reviewing the first twenty documents my secretary gave to me this morning while eating, I suddenly receive a message from Kim Mi-ran, my bestfriend since childhood.

Why do I have a bad feeling about her message? That woman will either spill new gossips she acquired or reveal something surprising.

"Are you friends with Hyun-jun now? Are you nuts?" that's what she wrote in her message.

I knew it. She will send something so appalling again.

But wait... Huh? What does she mean by that? She must be the one who is nuts. Why would I be friends with that spawn of the devil?

"You're the one who is crazy. I have never imagined in my entire life I would be friends with that jerk." I angrily type and sent her the message.

After a few seconds, Mi-ran called. She's so quick to reply when it comes to gossips.

I answered her call and Mi-ran quickly exclaimed "Heol! There are photos of you together circulating in our alumni group chat. You guys were in the same table in a café chitchatting and smiling at each other."

She was so hasty to share her gossip that she forgot to even greet me first.

"Crap. I can't believe people already put malice on that. Unfortunately we were in the same café and as usual we were bickering but in a calm way this time. It's only a photo. Anyone can write malicious words." I explained to that little head of Mi-ran. This is slandering! I can sue that poster.

This damn woman always easily believe such stuff. It must be the effect of getting married and pregnant at 20 years old. She got married after we graduated university and after a few months she got pregnant.

She was a frustrated young mom and wife back then. She wanted to have fun but she would always conflict to herself that she should never put her husband's name in vain. That's why she resorted to gossiping. Mi-ran's number one past time and stress relief is listening and reading about gossips. Either it's about friends or celebrities.

"I knew it. Why would you be friends with that brute, right? I even scolded the OP of the photo but she just blocked me!" Mi-ran ranted.

"Who was the OP? Tell me her name." I furiously asked. Who is that person? Why is she making up stuff that is very very far from the truth?

"It's Yoon Bora, that chick who would always try to create a fuss back in college. Do you remember her? That girl with a poisonous tongue." Mi-ran said.

I really don't remember her name or face but I do remember someone who would always create nasty rumors about anyone. And if someone tries to confront her, she'll act like a victim.

"Is that the girl who caused so much distress to Hyun-jun during 4th year college?" I asked. I'm trying to remember that Yoon Bora. I will put her in a block list and give it our clients and customers not to ever associate with that woman.

"Yes! It's her. She actually likes Hyun-jun so much. They were friends before but I'm not sure what happened that they don't talk anymore. Maybe she confessed just like you and Hyun-jun brutally rejected her as well. Imagine the awkwardness." Mi-ran gossiped.

Now I remember everything. That b*tch created so many unnecessary drama about me and Hyun-jun. She was the one who spread the lie about me declaring war against Hyun-jun just to get his attention. That woman has some wild imaginations and conclusions.

I initiated a war cause that man deserves it. He deserves not to have a good night sleep when he's so mean. Hateful people doesn't deserve complete 8 hours of sleep.

"I remember her now… Ugh. That woman is a witch. Thanks for notifying me. And also you don't need to rub it all the time that I got brutally rejected as well." I teasingly advised. Heck this woman will always try to point out that embarrassing event in my life.

"Girl, you better get married soon so that Hyun-jun's rejection curse will be forgotten. You better not ditch this handsome guy I pestered next week! I tried to persuade him to meet and date you. You better come!" Mi-ran suddenly sounds so enthusiastic.

Whenever if it's about me dating her selected prospects as my future husband, her mood will suddenly lit up and she'll blabber all kinds of stuff.

Suddenly, my secretary gave me a signal that my meeting with some new clients is starting.

"I know. I will go so don't worry. You better keep this date a secret so any information will not reach my family or Hyun-jun. That man will do anything to make me a lonely old-maid." I warned Mi-ran.

I really want to get married soon before I turn 30 years old. I just became 29 years old two months ago but I'm still single! This is all Hyun-jun's fault.

Though I had a fiancé and almost husband before, but they were all related for business relationship and future partnership. They didn't become my boyfriend or lover. They all started as fiancé and remained as a fiancé for business matters.

Right now, I want to have my own love story. Not something forced by my parents. Ahh~ I can't wait for that day.

"Yes, of course. I will keep my mouth shut." Mi-ran promised.

"You better be. Anyway, I'll end the call now. I have a meeting." I quickly said and ended the call. I immediately rushed towards the meeting room.

My clients were already there waiting for me. Just in time, I gave them my most beautiful business smile as a greeting.
