Madam Kim nods her head. " Umm, My son worked hard every day in the past. He was very determined to succeed. When he first bought a car with his hard work, He came to me and said that it has to be me who will take the first step inside the car. I couldn't be more prouder than that."
Madam Kim broke into a bright smile like a proud mother then she turns to you. " When I took a ride in that car, I felt like I was in a dream just like you. Though it wasn't that costly like this but still no car can replace that. "
You nod in understanding. " By the way, how can I address you?"
You ask as you were bewildered whether to call her ma'am, aunty, or something else.
" Honey, just call me Aunty Kim."
Madam Kim says with a light giggle.
"Aunty Kim, okay!" You nod again.
Just then, The driver stops the car as he says " Madam, we have reached." He then opens the door for you and Madam Kim.
When you see the place, you jump in fright. ' Why this place of all the places?' You think as you feel like laughing and crying at the same time.
" Y/N, This place is quite near. I came here a few times before. The service and food were quite decent. I guess you will like it here. Let's go inside." Madam Kim says as she goes forward without giving you chance to deny.
You could only bite your lips and follow her inside.

*Mingle Restaurant*
Yoo Jeongyeon slowly strolled towards Boss Yoo. "Boss, Actually-"
Boss Yoo gave her cold stare " I know what you are going to say. It is about that lazy Y/N, right?"
Yoo Jeongyeon nods her head " Boss, You shouldn't have fired her. Though she came late sometimes but the way she worked and served the customer was certainly incredible. She is exceptionally diligent and a hard worker. You also know that day when madam Kim visited here-"
Upon hearing Madam Kim's name, Boss Yoo stood up as she put her finger in her mouth and made a "shh" sound. " Speak in a low voice."
Yoo Jeongyeon nips her lips as she begins to talk in a low voice " That day, You sent Y/N to cook because the cook was feeling sick. And surprisingly you got praised by Madam Kim. Thereafter we had so much profit in the business. But you didn't even raise her salary nor thanked her, now you have fired her."
"You-" Boss Yoo becomes enraged. Just as she was going to scold her.. the door opens. Following by an elegant looking middle-aged woman enters the restaurant.
Everyone including Boss Yoo and Jeongyeon becomes stunned. " Ma-Madam Kim!" Boss Yoo nearly falls down. 'All of a sudden 'She thinks.
Boss Yoo hastily runs and greets her with a deep bow. " Welcome, Madam Kim!"
Madam Kim chuckles as she shakes her head " You don't need to stand on ceremony, I have a guest with me. Please find a quiet room for us ."
" Yeah, Yeah.. Jeongyeon takes our guest to XX room. " Boss Yoo says glancing at Jeongyeon with a big smile which nearly went to her ears, so bizarre.
Jeongyeon nods her head as she bows respectfully to Madam Kim " This way please." Madam Kim smiled in response as She proceeds to walk.
" You..What are you doing here?" Suddenly Boss Yoo asks when she sees you standing in the door silently with head lowered.
'What was even thinking? lowering my head will prevent them from recognizing me? Hah-' You think taking a deep sigh.
"Ahh.. I knew you couldn't just part with your job. And came here shamelessly to create a scene. But don't ever think about it. You are just a lazy bum who is good for nothing. Go away, we have VIP guests today. Don't ruin the good luck." Boss Yoo says looking at you disdainfully.
'I also didn't want to come here okay. Was it not for Madam Kim, I would've never stepped into the lousy restaurant of yours!! Humph,' You scoff internally.
You don't give a single glance to the Boss and walk the path where Madam Kim went. Seeing this Boss Yoo gets mad and strides towards you.
Madam Kim was already quite far so she didn't hear anything the Boss said just now.
" Err, Madam Kim, sorry but May I ask you who is your guest? When will she or he arrive?" Jeongyeon inquires when she notices Madam Kim following her all alone.
"Huh?" Madam Kim eyebrow's shots up as she turns around to see no one.
"Aigoo, I am seriously getting old. Haha, I forgot about her. Sorry, But Can we return to the entrance? Unfortunately, I don't have her number."
Jeongyeon flash a professional smile " No bother, Madam Kim. Let's go."
After a while, they both reach at the entrance and see Boss Yoo grabbing Y/N's hand and trying to drag her out of the restaurant.
"Boss Yoo, let me explain, first. You are misunderstanding." You declare as you tried to fling her hands off. But she was strong, She begins to drag you saying :
"These kids nowadays are so shameless. I told you that you are fired. Don't you get it? No problem I will drag you out now and never return back."
Jeongyeon becomes red in embarrassment. She turns towards Madam Kim only to see her alarmed expression.
Madam Kim shortly walks towards you and the boss and grabs your hand as well as flung the Boss hands-off. The sudden action makes both you and the Boss freeze in the respective place.
Madam Kim glares at the owner coldly " Sorry, what did my guest do that made you drag her out like this? "
