Chapter 111 - Need Some Candles

"Another thing that the members of the Red Clan is afraid of is the heat. Members of the Red Clan are stronger at the low temperature, and the rise of the temperature weakens them. Their healing abilities and speed gets much slower, and extreme heat can cause death for them as well," Soohyun read. 

She then mumbled, "No wonder the Mansion can get extremely cold at times. If I can increase the temperature of the room, Minhyun will weaken physically, and that's how, I will be able to top him."

"That's perfect!" Soohyun exclaimed, "I just need some candles to increase the temperature. Considering how Han Minhyun is a high ranking Vampire— I mean, member of the Red Clan— I need lots of candles. But the question now is how to get the candles. I'll just purchase them when I am allowed to leave the mansion."

That is when Lee Soohyun's phone rang. Closing the book in front of her, Soohyun turned towards her phone, and seeing that the call was from an unknown number, she wondered on who it could be.

Receiving the call, Soohyun was about to ask who it was before the person shouted, "Moon Jiwoo, do you take me to be a joke?!"

Startled by the loud voice, Soohyun moved the phone away from her ear, and creases appeared between two of her eyebrows. Could it be that it was another one of those person Jiwoo had previously offended?

"Who are you?" Soohyun asked whilst keeping the phone at a distant from her. She was not sure whether or not the person would yell again, and most definitely, she did not want any damage to her eardrums. 

"Moon Jiwoo, what type of games are you playing now!? Are you telling me that you don't recognize my voice? First, not only you did not attend the shooting and now you're pretending to not know me? Moon Jiwoo, are you even aware of how much humiliation you have brought upon me? I did not expect you to—"

"Wrong number," Soohyun voiced out, "I do not recognize anyone with this voice and the number is not saved in my phone. Therefore, Miss whoever you are, check the number you have called at again."

"Yah! Moon Jiwoo, stop with your jokes! This is Hw.a.n.g Hyunae!" 

"Ah! Hyunae-ah, this is you. I swear you sound so different on the phone, so I couldn't recognize you. It's all my fault," Soohyun vocalised, "But what caused you to scream this much. Is everything alright?"

Hw.a.n.g Hyunae scoffed and said, "Stop pretending. You purposely did not attend the shooting site and now, because of you, I was humiliated. Wow! Jiwoo, you're really a b.i.t.c.h!"

"b.i.t.c.h? Hyunae, I don't remember agreeing to attend any shooting site, and so if you want to scream about something as idiotic as this, I'll be hanging up," Soohyun voiced out.

"Yah! Moon Jiwoo, I swear I will—"

Before Hw.a.n.g Hyunae could continue, Soohyun hung up the call. Soohyun had already informed Ryujin on how she will not be able to take jobs for the time being, and as she was married to Han Minhyun, her agency did not dare to say anything against it. They just let her be.

Soohyun realized something and muttered, "The call that day must have been from Hyunae."

Soohyun shrugged and added, "Well, that has nothing to do with me. Right now, I have greater things to worry about."

Seeing that Moon Jiwoo had hung up on her abruptly, Hw.a.n.g Hyunae felt anger within her rise further. Throwing her phone across the room, Hyunae watched it hit the floor, creating a loud noise. Multiple cracks formed on its screen. Nonetheless, that was not Hyunae's concern at this moment.

Hw.a.n.g Hyunae clenched her hand tightly, and what she desperately sought after was revenge against Moon Jiwoo. Because of Jiwoo's actions, the cast showed disapproval towards her, and she was scolded tremendously for her carelessness. 

She tried to explain on how Jiwoo wanted her works, but no one trusted in her words. There was no proof for her words. Hw.a.n.g Hyunae gritted her teeth.

That is when a middle-aged man entered into the room. On his face sat nonchalance, and watching him step in, Hyunae's current expression was changed to something more pitiful. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes whilst Hyunae sat back at the couch.

The man's lips curved to a smirk, and amus.e.m.e.nt was visible in his eyes while he looked at Hyunae. Walking closer to Hyunae, he sat down on the couch. Extending his hand to hold Hyunae's waist, he placed the girl on his thigh.

"What has upsetted my Dear Hyunae?" He questioned. His breath hit her neck sensually as he did so.

Turning towards the man, Hyunae stared at him wirh tear-filled eyes and said, "Because of Moon Jiwoo, I was extremely humiliated today, Darling. Everyone was laughing at me, and I was scolded by many."

"Moon Jiwoo?" The man questioned.

"Yes, Darling, she is an arrogant sn.o.b, who tries to bully me at every chance she gets. Because she desperately wanted it, I let her my position as the lead in a commercial. However, she did not show up at the end, which caused me to be humiliated. Once, I was close to ending my life because of her," Hyunae vocalised.

An indecipherable look appeared in the Man's eyes as he questioned, "So do you want to take revenge on her?"

Hyunae stared at him— unsure of how to answer. She desperately wanted to say yes, but choosing that would ruin the pure image she was trying to portray.

"If you want revenge, I can help you to have that." The Man offered.

Tempted by the offer, Hyunae bit her lips and nodded. With the help from him, Hyunae will be able to take revenge on Moon Jiwoo.

"Thank you, Darling," Hyunae voiced out before pulling the Man into a kiss. The man responded to the kiss with equal fervor whilst his eyes had a glint in them.
