I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. I want to leave. 

These repetitive thoughts have been running through Dara's mind, almost like a chant, ever since she sat down in the fancy restaurant. 

Her boss has been throwing daggers at her with his fierce fox like eyes. From Dara's point of view, it looks like Jiyong would pull a knife out of nowhere and make her the substitute steak they were gonna have for lunch.
