Chapter 47 - 47. It's Just Small Talk

I was already walking towards the dining room, in one of the chairs Edwards was already sitting quietly. I chose to sit next to Edwards.

Then I saw Mr Douglas' face which was quite pale and cold sweat, he smiled at me. I smiled back very politely.

"This is Choon-hee?" he asked me.

"Yes sir, my name is Choon-hee. I'm sorry for coming at the wrong time." I said feeling a little guilty.

"It's okay, it's just that the circumstances weren't right. I'm quite happy to see my son bring another girl to this Mansion. It means that you two are quite close, so I really appreciate your presence tinoght." Mr. Douglas said so softly.

I don't know if the Douglas family is really good like this, or is it just small talk?

"Thank you, sir." I said again.

"Edward's Grandmother and his two younger siblings aren't here today, they're on overseas business. Maybe we can talk together sometime." Mr. Douglas informed about the whereabouts of the rest of the Douglas family, of course I understand.

"Yes hopefully." I said once again, the three of them smiled at me. After a while some of the waiters came to bring us dinner.

I saw a lot of food menus on this table, of course it made my appetite jump. Ahhh.. if this was in my own house, maybe I would have finished all the food.

"Please eat Choon-hee, don't hesitate." Mrs Douglas made me nod immediately, I took some food and offered it to Edwards. he immediately nodded willingly, making me have to give it to Edwards first and then I took it for myself.

Edwards seemed to need a lot of attention, he always wanted to be served. I have no problem with it, only small things like this of course I can still do well.

We ate in silence, I took a bite of a vegetable salad that was quite fresh on my tongue. the taste is so different, maybe because the ingredients used are also fresh.

"Choon-hee what have you been busy with all this time?" Mr. Douglas' question made me gulp hard, I looked at Mrs Douglas and Edwards as well. they were already looking at me with shocked eyes.

"I saw Choon-hee at one of your universities, Dad. But she hasn't found a job yet. That's why I worked for her at the company to become an assistant secretary for me." Edwards interrupted first, I who heard this knew that Edwards wanted to cover up the truth about me in front of Mr. Douglas. actually I don't mind, at least it's better than me having to talk at the table then this That I'm a woman escort .

Even though Mrs. Douglas knows that I am a paid woman, but why doesn't Mr. Douglas know? does the husband and wife keep a secret? Maybe, but I don't want to talk too much.

"Oh I see, it's good if you really want to work hard. Even though you are a woman, you should be educated and change your destiny. I like women who want to continue to learn and be polite, because women's intelligence is seen from the way of thinking, point of view, education, and her attitude towards talking to other people. If you have all those things, I'm sure you will be well received anywhere." Mr. Douglas said again, making me confused myself at his words.

He said he had just recovered, because earlier I saw him who was like a man possessed, screaming in the basement. He who just recovered was already very detailed like this when asking, moreover is he really healthy? what will he ask me further? Gosh .. my little brain will not be able to think and open many conversations, with people who are very smart like Mr. Douglas like this.

"Honey, Choon-hee just arrived. Don't talk about things that are difficult to understand, we've clearly seen that she's quite educated. There's no way Edwards would bring such an obscure woman into the Mansion, even though Choon-hee might not be from a prominent Family. I'm sure she has a good personality." Mrs. Douglas said in a low voice, holding her husband's arm for a quieter conversation.

"Ahhh I'm sorry Miss Choon-hee, I talk too much with people. It's about business and the progress of this world, so my conversations are always very dramatic." Mr. Douglas laughed softly, he chewed the food in front of him quietly.

me who heard that of course, laughed too. even though my laughter wasn't fun at all. So this is what it feels like to be gathered in the midst of a respected family? this was just Edwards' parents. What about the two siblings? Grandma? Will I be asked if I ever get any awards? how much income per month? ah.. Questions for which I have no answers at all.

I just don't know how much my own monthly income is, because I work and get paid daily. there is a tenant then I will work, if not there? yes i don't get money.

"Let's eat some more." Edwards whispered softly in my ear, I felt that he knew I was uncomfortable with this kind of atmosphere. Of course I wasn't comfortable, I was used to eating alone and never had much conversation with other people.

Now I have to have a talk with the great Lord of the Douglas Family, who is greatly appreciated and respected by many people out there. Perhaps the people outside had prepared themselves well, before chatting with Mr Douglas. while me? without any Prepare, I was suddenly invited to this big Mansion by Edwards.

This is like a very tough test for me, I have to know how to answer it. Even though I didn't study at all

"anyway Edwards, he said there's bad news about you and Choon-hee this afternoon. but Daddy doesn't know what it is, is it big news?" Mr Douglas' question made Edwards choke on his food, I tried to help Edwards drink a glass of water and patted his back lightly.

"Sorry Dad, I choked because I was in a hurry to eat. About that Dad, it was Violet's plan. She was deliberately looking for trouble to badmouth Choon-hee. are usurpers of men's husbands and a slut." Edwards lied a little bit to his own father, he knew very well that I was indeed a slut. why didn't he just say it clearly? After all, Edwards and I don't have a special relationship at all.

And what did he say? My woman? Am I the woman?

"Violet really can't be loved anymore, she must be taught a lesson. Maybe tomorrow Daddy will ask her father directly." Mr Douglas said a little angry

"Honey, don't do that. You need to rest a lot, I don't want to see you like that again." Mrs. Douglas looked into her husband's eyes intently, causing Mr.. Douglas to finally sigh and nod in agreement.
