Chapter 42 - Trending Online

Getting into the seat beside the driver's seat, Soohyun closed the door and fastened on the seat belt. Then, wearing a bright smile, she turned towards Jung Ryujin, who was on the driver's seat.

"Ryujin Unnie, how has your day been?" Soohyun asked in a sweet tone.

Seeing Moon Jiwoo acting strange like the last time, creases appeared between both of Ryujin's eyebrows, and she replied, "Fine."

Soohyun needed a ride to the mansion where the ball was being held, and moreover, she had no idea where that mansion was. Therefore, Ryujin was the best option for her.

"You must be really tired after all the work you do. I've created lots of mess in the past, and sadly, now it's you who have to clean them. If only, if only," Soohyun voiced out.

Pretending to wipe away a tear from the corner of her eye, Soohyun added, "If only I could reduce half of that burden of yours. I'm really sorry, Unnie. If you don't think I'm good now, you can test me using whatever methods you wish to. Unnie, please don't abandon me."

Wearing a pitiful expression, Soohyun's level of currying favour was almost to the maximum. If it was from someone else, it might have seemed superficial, but from Moon Jiwoo, whose arrogance won't let her bow down to anyone, these words held a deeper meaning.

At times like this, Soohyun wanted to show Moon Jiwoo 'thumbs up' for her behaviour.

With such words from Moon Jiwoo, Jung Ryujin might put more care towards her, and if this doesn't work, Soohyun had many more ideas stored in her mind.

"Alright," Jung Ryujin replied awkwardly. 

Nonetheless, from her expression, Soohyun could see that she was slightly pleased.

"There's a job for you," Ryujin voiced out.

Soohyun's eyes brightened up hearing that, and she looked at Ryujin expectantly. Soohyun loved money, and since that Minhyun hasn't given her the legendary 'black card', she had to rely on her acting career to earn money.

'Villains are truly different from the male leads! If only I was destined to be with those male leads, I could've gotten that black card.'

"What is it, Unnie?" If Soohyun was a dog, her tail would've wagged around excitedly currently.

"It is a minor part in the drama," Ryujin voiced out, "It was recommended by Hyunae."

'Hyunae? Ah! That girl who is jealous of me, I mean, Jiwoo.'

Pretending that it didn't matter to Soohyun that the role was recommended by Hyunae, Soohyun replied, "That's great! When does it start?"

Honestly, it bothered Soohyun that while working, she needed to deal with adult woman's childish tantrums. However, for money, Soohyun did not mind having some fun with a jealous woman.

Confused at Soohyun's reaction and answer, Ryujin asked, "Doesn't it bother you?"

"Why should it? Hyunae-ah is very kind to want to put food on my plate," Soohyun voiced out, "Not even closest relatives does that these days."

"Regarding Min Hyunbin, what's your relationship with him? Both of you are trending online, and some speculate him to be your husband."

Soohyun answered, "What's there to speculate about it? We are really married. I don't understand why everyone finds it that hard to understand."

Soohyun shrugged her shoulders.
