Chapter 54 - 54. This Is Part Of The Job Isn't It?

(Choon-Hee POV)

I've been sitting in front of Edwards' little library since morning, I texted and told him that his parents weren't home. They stay at the hospital because they have to take care of some things.

I dunno, I don't know much about what they're dealing with. I was told by one of the servants in this Mansion.

But it's been all this time, until the late afternoon. Edwards didn't reply to the messages I sent and hasn't come home. I'm bored. With all the things I don't enjoy right now, I have no intention of strolling around the Mansion or enjoying each of the available rooms.

This isn't my place, so I'm a little restless at the desperate reality. More precisely I like my own private apartment, what was I brought here for? If it's just left alone, I'd rather be in the apartment and enjoy the movies I like.

I flipped through some books I didn't understand, my eyes had been on Edwards' photo album. But I don't dare to open it again, I've had enough of being presumptuous once. Now even though my curiosity is very high, I still won't touch anything personal anymore.

I sighed softly, my eyes weren't sleepy enough to fall asleep. ahhh, I'm such a lonely woman now, usually at this hour I'm already getting ready for work.

Knock.. Knock.. Knock..

The sound of the door made me rush towards the source of the sound when I opened it. saw one of the maids who had lowered her head.

"what's wrong?." I asked slowly

"Mr. Edwards is already home Miss, he is downstairs with Miss Violet." Hearing what the waiter said, of course I was a little surprised. I immediately walked quickly to meet Edwards.

I don't want to be mad at him, I just want to know why Violet is with him again? ah maybe it was because Violet insisted to come along.

I've seen Edwards sitting quietly while giving food to Violet, seeing that I couldn't help but bite my lip.

Should I go down or not? I don't think I want to disturb a husband and wife who are alone together.

"Choon-hee, come here." I was surprised to hear Violet's voice calling out to me, even though I didn't mean to disturb them. In the end the footsteps brought me in front of him.

"hey, you're back.. how are you?" I asked pleasantly, when I got near the two of them.

"I'm fine, Edwards took care of me since this morning. Now he wants me to be treated in this mansion. I actually insisted on refusing, but because he was begging. So I can't say no. Why you're here too? Are you living here now? did you welcome by the Douglas family?" Violet asked with a sweet smile, but for some reason her voice didn't show at all that she was really being nice to me.

She was like a sly Snake Woman, how could her smile be so sweet in front of Edwards, but her eyes looked like they were going to kill me?

"Ah good then, I can go back to my apartment again. I was just stopping by." I said a little uncomfortably, you know how it feels when you have to be between husband and wife? even though you are a woman who is kept by her husband..

Ahhh, I feel like I'm getting lazy to be here.

"Oh I see, it doesn't really matter if you're here. You can take care of my husband while I'm sick, you're a good woman to him. I'm happy if my husband has got a new woman." Violet smiled again, she held Edwards' arm very tightly. sHe says it's okay but her hand gestures say That it can't be.

what is she doing?

"Don't say that dear, Choon-hee is only temporary. sHe also knows that she is paid to accompany me in loneliness, so don't misunderstand Choon again. He is very kind and responsible for her duties, After all now you are here. You can take good care of yourself and take good care of myself, this is our promise right?" Edwards said very casually, he looked down at Violet briefly and put some food into Violet's mouth.

I was just silent when Edwards said that, after all what Edwards said was true. I'm just being paid here, nothing serious to think about.

"Well then. Is Choon-hee sleeping in our room?" Violet asked again.

"No, there's no way I can put him in our room. sHe sleeps in my old room. Let's eat again, you have to take medicine after this." Edwards really wasn't looking at me at all, he was too busy on Violet and his eyes were blind again.

Yeah blind, because Edwards looks stupid when he's with Violet. just look at how Edwards treats violets so sweet. Even though only a few days ago he said he would divorce his wife. but what's the problem with me now?

Isn't this great? so I can be free and go about my previous routine, I can work well out there. Without having to dabble in other people's Family matters, it was so exhausting working with Edwards, he was too strange and opinionated.

why am i upset now? I'm just emotional, Edwards is a kind man and his feelings are very fragile. He easily falls for the wrong love, he easily falls for sweet words alone. Just look at how he now adores his wife again. Violet must have done some sickly colossal drama, until Edwards was drawn into it again.

But never mind, I'm lucky It's all over quickly. so I don't have to worry about taking care of Edwards anymore, he's like a big baby hungry for attention.

Ahhhh!!!! I want to scream in anger! what's wrong with my heart now?

"You want to go home now? Just ask my driver to take you, he knows the address of your apartment. Thank you Choon-hee, I will transfer the payment directly to your account. You are a good friend, I will add your work in a few days." Edwards only said about the fee, I tried to smile and nodded quickly.

Then I left the big Mansion with unsteady steps, I did come here without bringing anything. so i can leave with nothing, i get kicked out? No! from the start this is not my home.

Remember Choon-hee, you're at work. what you get now is indeed the risk of the job. I was standing in front of the door, one of the drivers asked where I was going. I just said I was going home, he got the car ready and I just got in there.

The car moved slowly leaving the Douglas family mansion, I swallowed hard. why does my heart feel so tight do i have any breathing problems now? And why do I want to cry?

good grief! good grief!!!! wake up Choon-hee! what's with your attitude? You only work with Edwards. It's part of the job. If you are no longer needed, then you really have to go! What do you expect?

"What did I expect?" I said to myself quietly.
