Chapter 121 - Let Us Pretend

Xie Eun felt uneasy the entire say.She had been restless since last evening when she received Yu Seok's message that he would be out o touch..She did not believe herself to be the clingy type that needed to know where her husband was at every moment but the message was too cryptic for her!Dam*** he was not in the military that he needed to go on top secret missions that he could not discuss with her.

"Hmpf!" She snorted angrily as she made her way back to the car,scaring the innocent passers by with her anger. Or he could restrict himself to one message a day!At least she would know he is safe! As she reached the car,her clumsiness had started to rise again and the driver who had opened the door for her to enter,was stomped on the foot. The girl however never realized it while the driver almost shot in pain.The next moment,she had pulled the car door while the driver still had his hand on it causing him to almost lose his fingers while the perpetrator remained oblivious. Sighing,the driver thought thankfully that today was his last day on the job or he would have to ask the person who hired him to compensate for injuries. He had already passed on the message that Miss Xie was distracted today,just like the boss wanted.

Xie Eun who was unaware that she had already attacked someone who wanted to harm her,kept muttering and cursing slowly. Occasionally,she glanced out of the window to check her surroundings and once assured that they were going in the right direction,she would turn back her gaze to her usual silent phone. The driver kept checking and seeing that the girl was still clutching the cell phone he planned to take a rash turn so that the phone would drop and shatter.That would be step one of their plan. But just as the thought had struck him,Xie Eun let out a scream,"Stop!!"

Unintentionally,he stepped on the brake hard and looked at the young lady.They had just been about to reach the spot where the small accident would take place. Then why did she stop before that. He wondered if she had discovered his deception. The driver gulped and was about to escape when he noticed that Miss Xie Eun was already getting off the car.

His eyes widened and he called out,"Madam..madam.."

But Xie Eun simply waved him off and shouted,"Go home..I will comeback on my own. And tell the security people to keep a safe distance!"

Xie Eun knew that she would have the security following everywhere so she simply let them follow her at a safe distance. That was something not in her hands. But she did not want the driver to be treated unfairly and wait for her. She hurried away into the mall before the driver could say anything. At a loss,he finally reported the sudden change to his superior..and waited for directions. He needed to cause the madam to be admitted to the hospital to receive his final pay..chances were he would be admitted to the hospital in her place with the way this madam behaved. why was she so impulsive?

Xie Eun, raced into the mall to follow the person she had seen. She was pretty sure she had seen Shan Shan but the girl had been dressed weirdly.. Finally she spotted the girl who was dressed in a bohemian off shoulder top and long skirt and called out,"Shan Shan?"

Wen Shan,who had been wondering what tactic to use to scare away her suitor for today heard her name being called out and turned with a black frown which immediately eased into a genuine smile.

She waved excitedly,and waited for Xie EUn to reach her. Finally,relieved that she had seen the right person,Xie Eun walked over and immediately the two girls started to walk around. Xie Eun could not help but ask Shan Shan if she dressed like this in her off time causing Shan Shan to be embarrassed and then tell the tale of how she had adopted this technique to chase away the blind dates arranged by well meaning family and friends. Finally she groaned,"I used this get up yesterday. Usually I have time to think something up but these two dates happened back to back and now I cannot think of any new ideas to get rid of the suitor today. So I came here early to see if I can find something else.."

After having heard the story,Xie Eun nodded in sympathy and then offered her own advice,"Shan Shan,you could try ignoring him..you know when I was not very satisfied with my fathers choice for my husband,I simply ignored him so that he would go away.. The two girls had just bought ice cream and Shan Shan could not help but stare at Xie Eun as she received this advice.

She shook her head at Xie Eun,pointed a finger and said,"Anna!That is absolutely the worst advice and example you can give!I want to get rid of him,not marry him.In case you have forgotten,please check your ring finger and remember that instead of being able to get rid of Yu Seok you are still married to him and very happily it seems from the rosy glow on your face.."

Shaking her head,Wen Shan muttered something about useless advice and walked on,staring into the windows of various shops.

Xie Eun:".." She really did have a point..Yu Seok had not been ignored..

Finally,she licked at her ice cream and followed Shan Shan thoughtfully.According to Shan Shan,they had an hour to get ready.Finally the two girls could come up with nothing so Shan Shan desperately begged,"Anna!Let's pretend to be lovers.."
