Feeling extremely suspicious, the three brothers collected all the credit card statements and waited for Ruby. When they heard that her boyfriend was unemployed, younger, and couldn’t even pay the rent, the brothers were dumbfounded.
“So, all that allowance disappeared without a trace. The money from selling Kim has been going into that guy’s pocket!”
The three brothers immediately informed the family about this fact. The day Ruby got her head shaved was a clear sign that something was terribly wrong.
“Phew, what should I do now? Dad coming all the way to Seoul and saying he won’t tolerate it anymore… What should I do if he tells me to break up with Philip?”
White smoke dispersed into the sky, swirling.
Thud.
At that moment, the rooftop door opened. Ruby, who was sitting crouched behind the water tank, startled and hastily put out her cigarette. The approaching person was Hyeju.
“I thought you would be here, Ruby. Are you okay?”
Looking at her, holding two cups of coffee in her hands, Ruby replied curtly.
“Yeah, whatever.”
In the past, she would have run up to her and hugged her, calling her “Unni!” But now, she couldn’t do that anymore. Ruby couldn’t trust her own judgment that Hyeju was a good person.
A mistress. And a spy for the jewel.
That was Ruby’s definition of Hyeju.
If it was just her best friend’s lover and a fling, she could ignore it and turn a blind eye. But the spy was different. Though she only caught a glimpse earlier, Hyeju seemed quite intimate with the jewel. It couldn’t be explained by a simple business relationship.
Yes, you spent tens of millions of won to monitor her. Is this a company worth going through all that trouble? Does it serve good food? I asked Deputy Oh countless times. Did it work?
The jewel’s words strengthened her suspicions.
“It seems like you definitely sold my information at Dad’s request. Oh Deputy, I never thought you were like this, lacking loyalty.”
If I had known, I would have done everything to stop sending the proposal to Taeyang Food!
At that time, I didn’t think the contract would actually go through. And there was no reasonable reason to stop sending the proposal.
Ruby, who simply thought it would be no big deal to contract with Dad’s company, now felt extremely displeased.
“Why did you come to the rooftop? Did you come to see me?”
“Ruby, your father was very worried. He said you had an argument earlier, so I came up here once to check on you.”
“Are you on such terms with Dad? Looks like you two are quite close.”
Hyeju was quite taken aback by Ruby’s disdainful remark. It was the first time Ruby had been so rude to her.
“Well, now that you’ve seen my face, you can go back down. I’ll have one more smoke and then return.”
Watching her light her cigarette with a determined crookedness, Hyeju felt a simmering anger rising within her as well.
“Do you have any complaints against me? If you have any, say it out loud. Stop with the passiveaggressive behavior.”
“I don’t have any complaints.”
“Your face clearly shows full of dissatisfaction. Is this the extent of our relationship? I thought I had shared my feelings with you, Ruby.”
“Who betrayed whom first!”
Ruby burst out in anger.
“I really thought you were a good person, Unni. But why do you keep disappointing me? Unni, is our father a spy? Was he the one who received the request and informed about my every move?”
Hyeju was astounded and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
“Don’t force it! The CEO has never asked me anything about you, Ruby. I only found out today that you’re the CEO’s daughter. How could I inform him about your every move?”
“Lies! Dad said that earlier. He said you told him everything about the company’s welfare, how much overtime you do, and how good the cafeteria food is!”
“Listen to yourself, you’re going overboard with delusions. Do you think Ruby is the only one doing overtime at the company? Do you think only you eat at the cafeteria?”
“Would Dad have asked about things that don’t even concern me? Who knows if there were things I wanted to hide in the answers Unni casually spilled?”
“Wow, you have a talent for catching people, Ruby. Back in the day, it wouldn’t have been just making someone a spy.”
Hyeju fanned her flushed face and let out a puff of air.
It was all for nothing. She had thought their relationship as Ruby’s protector was special, but to be constantly accused of being a spy was extremely hurtful.
“And Unni, you advised me to break up with my boyfriend last time, didn’t you?”
“Well, he was always borrowing money and never paying it back….”
“Now that I think about it, I’ll handle my boyfriend myself, so don’t worry about it! It’s not even a topic you have the right to discuss.”
Puff. A dagger flew and struck.
“What do you mean by not having the right?”
“You’re a homewrecker, Unni!”
“A homewrecker?”
