“We’ve just received a call from Choi Young-Do’s father, Sunny. He’s still on the line”, Liam informed her after bursting through the office doors. “Line 2”, with that said he took a seat in one of the armchairs and watched me expectantly.

“Hello, this is Cha Eun-Sang, the representative’s secretary. How may I help you?”

“Oh! Cha Eun-Sang, it’s Choi Dong-Wook. It’s a true pleasure to have you on the phone, my dear”, Choi Young-Do’s father spoke in a friendly matter, which caused a shiver to run down my spine. I had despised that guy from the moment I had met him and after learning how he treated his son…that’s the moment I had decided to give him a lesson he’d remember for the rest of his life.

“Mr. Choi! It’s a true pleasure. Liam is unfortunately not present, would you like me to leave a message?”, I asked while trying to sound as friendly as possible, while also hoping to end that call soon.

“Yes, please. I’d like to schedule a dinner with him, my son and you. Tell him to call me back as soon as possible”, Choi Dong-Wook answered and I had the feeling that I could detect some annoyance laced in his voice.

“That’s why my father is actually pushing me to marry into a wealthy family, but preferably marrying someone that has the money but that doesn’t have the family that goes with…”, Young-Do answered while chuckling lightly, but there was no humor in it – and I couldn’t blame him for it.

‘That sounds suspiciously like my situation…’, I couldn’t help but to think as I awkwardly smiled at Young-Do.

E-S.P.O.V.

As I sat in the back of my car, watching for a moment my driver, I started to wonder about the conversations I had had that evening with Choi Young-Do. About the things he had told me concerning his business, but mostly the thing concerning marriage. It bothered me, greatly. Especially because it made me remember Kim Tan, what happened to us and the fact that people were forced to marry people they…didn’t know. I felt tears coming up and I willed myself to look out the window of the car, willing my mind to concentrate on the passing streetlights.

“Miss, we’ve arrived”, my driver spoke softly and upon turning to look at me offered me a tentative smile.

“Thank you, so much. About tomorrow…I will not need your services, you can take
