Both couples did not get to watch the movie that night. Instead, they went for a double date at a restaurant nearby for dinner.

Hye Joo who is also working in the banking industry knew about Jong Kok though they never meet in person. It turned up that Kim Jong Kok is actually a BIG and famous name in the world of banking. He takes care of many accounts for prestigious companies. Hye Joo who was still a junior in the banking world always sees Jong Kok as his idol.

As the waiter serves the main course, she started to get bored. She felt that there is an invisible wall between herself and these 3 persons who were at the same table as her. Gary, Jong Kok and Hye Joo were drinking red wine while she chose to have an orange juice.

“This orange juice taste like those in the fridge of the minimart but the price is almost 4 times as expensive compared to those minimart ones. I feel so stupid ordering this orange juice.” Her inner thoughts scolded herself.

Gary, Jong Kong and Hye Joo were talking about how the government policies are affecting the banking and finance sectors. But she failed to understand any of those. She only knew that how the minimart policies are affecting her, such as she is now suspended from working night shifts. She earned less and she has to cut down the amount of money that she is donating to the Orphanage.

“Ji Hyo ssi, do you like the food?” It was Jong Kok who noticed that she was very quiet.

“Yes, good.” She gave short answers. She ordered a seafood spaghetti, actually she wanted a steak like the rest but she was afraid that she will be a disgrace to her friends since her table manners weren’t good enough. So spaghetti is the safest, just need a fork and spoon.

“So Ji Hyo, how’s the business at the minimart? Any plans for expansion?” Hye Joo asked.

“Business is good. But I don’t know anything about expansion.” She replied.

“Oh….you didn’t proposed anything to the management? Since business is good like what you had mentioned.” Hye Joo continued to ask.

“Oh, here comes the dessert.” Gary quickly stopped the conversation. He could sense that Ji Hyo’s temper was raising.

“Yah! Yah! Why ask me all these. Didn’t Kang Gary tell you that I am just a staff? Just an ordinary staff who plays the role of a cashier, move goods around the mart, cleans the toilet, tag prices and serve the customers?” She cursed in her heart.

Gary, Jong Kok and Hye Joo continued to chat during and after dessert. She just kept quiet. She did not want to spoil the night by leaving early. Her eyes lids were getting heavy as the rest discussed about the policies in different banks.

“Excuse me. I need to go to the tol….I mean the ladies.” She stood up after the desserts. Jong Kok quickly stood up, pulled the chair for her. He wanted to lead her to the ladies when she told him that is OK, she knows the directions.

She locked herself in one of the cubicles in the ladies.

“So sleepy after dinner. So full.” She brought down the sit cover, sat on it and slowly she dozed off.

“Where is that child?” Gary kept glancing at the doorway that leads to the toliets.

Jong Kok and Hye Joo were so engrossed in the discussions for the past 15 minutes. They did not realized that Ji Hyo was still not back to her seat.

“Sorry, Hye Joo, could you check the ladies? Ji Hyo seems to have gone for too long.” Gary asked Hye Joo.

“Oh, Ji Hyo Ssi.” Jong Kok quickly stood up to find Ji Hyo but was stopped by Hye Joo.

“I will check the ladies.” Hye Joo went to the ladies but the restaurant was conducting a wash, a caution signage was hang outside the door.

“Ji Hyo Ssi, are you there?” Hye Joo shouted, she tried to open the toilet doors, water started to splash since the cleaner was washing the floors.

“Yah! So dirty.” Hye Joo quickly retreated from the ladies.

“She is not there.” Hye Joo said.

“But her hand bag is still here, she can’t go anyway without her stuffs. Did you check thoroughly?” Gary asked, raising his voice a little. He was getting worried.

“Gary Oppa, they are washing the toilet floors. So dirty and wet, are you expecting me to go in and knock cubical by cubical? My shoes will get wet. This pair of Hermes shoes is limited edition. This is a gift from my elder sister. I can't afford to wet it with detergent water.” Hye Joo wasn’t happy, she kept talking abou
