For a moment, Mijoo was at a loss for words.
She knew very well what the phrases ‘Everything Helper’ and ‘travel expenses’ could imply as a sort of bait. But she was advised by the business card company that such phrases make people remember and contact her.
However, she never engaged in any illegal or strange jobs. Her main tasks, as mentioned on the card, were document handling, shopping, babysitting.
Occasionally, she did accompany to parties, but she always refused if the offered amount was too generous, knowing that it implied ill intentions.
And recently, she even started declining light party companionship.
But why was this man focusing particularly on the phrases ‘travel expenses’ or ‘Everything Helper Service’? Mijoo felt uncomfortable.
“I don’t do those kinds of jobs.”
As Mijoo responded with as cool a voice as she could muster, Siyun continued.
“What kind of job are you referring to?”
Mijoo momentarily thought Siyun was seeking an escort service between men and women.
‘Right, this man isn’t interested in women.’
She was relieved that Siyun couldn’t see her overreacting on the phone.
Siyun, sensing her confusion over the phone, chuckled.
“I won’t ask for anything strange.”
“Really?”
Really? Shouldn’t she be glad first? Is she really a woman who would do anything for money? Mijoo’s response made Siyun’s expression turn cold.
But soon, Siyun realized he was cornering her and found his behavior amusing. He took a leisurely breath.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something…”
Her voice was fading, as if she was flustered or about to flee from the call or the job.
“No, there’s no misunderstanding. I need some documents handled. You do that kind of work, right?”
“Documents? Yes, that’s possible. Please explain over the phone, and I’ll see what I can do.”
Mijoo’s voice relaxed a bit.
“It’s not a simple task. It might be difficult for you, Ms. Choi Mijoo.”
Hearing her real name instead of ‘Chloe,’ Mijoo corrected him.
“It’s Choi Mijoo.”
“Alright, Choi Mijoo.”
Siyun’s low voice echoed crisply through the phone, sending shivers down her spine.
“I’ll send a text. Come over, and let’s talk. Goodbye.”
He ended the call unilaterally and mused.
“Chloe. Choi Mijoo. Suits her.”
Siyun typed the address swiftly and sent it. It was a one-sided request to come over, but he had no idea where Mijoo was or if she could come.
He expected a text like “I’ll come by this time” or “Can’t today, let’s meet another time.”
But even after a while, there was no text or call from Mijoo.
Siyun, usually superior in his dealings and relationships, was baffled by Choi Mijoo’s unpredictable behavior.
“Not even a text?”
In a world where basic manners seemed extinct, he expected at least a text of refusal to work together, but even that was absent.
“Is he coming or not… sigh.”
It was Si Yoon who felt frustrated not knowing her mind.
Just ignore it, but that’s not possible either. Waiting for a call that doesn’t come, he keeps looking at his phone and checking again.
Si Yoon found himself stuck at home, unable to move, waiting for Mi Joo.
Facing undefined emotions, Si Yoon wanted to regain his usual composure, realizing he was overreacting.
He put down his phone, changed into a swimsuit, and stepped out into the yard beyond the terrace. The swimming pool water, heated by the sun during the day, glistened in the sunlight.
Splash.
As his large body dove into the pool, water splashed around.
Underwater, he tried a long and deep swim. All he could hear was the sound of water brushing past him and the beating of his own heart.
Si Yoon wanted to focus solely on himself, cut off from the world. Gasping under the pressing water pressure, he wanted to forget someone who didn’t even contact him.
“Damn, I’m still thinking about that woman.”
Annoyed by the unilateral call and rudely cut off, Mi Joo was subtly angry.
“Just bear it. This person is a client now.”
It’s a no-loss deal as long as she gets paid for the trip, whether the work gets done or not.
Mi Joo received Si Yoon’s address, expecting a high-end village. But the location she checked on the navigation turned out to be an even more luxurious residential area than she imagined, which somewhat intimidated her again.
“What kind of person lives in a place like this?”
Well, someone who attends embassy parties must be from a well-known and wealthy family.
Mi Joo speculated about Si Yoon’s social status.
“But why would someone with money and fame ask me for document processing?”
A doubt suddenly arose.
He could call high-end professionals like lawyers or administrative agents anytime.
“Why me? He said it was a difficult job; is it something illegal?”
Could she refuse if offered a huge sum of cash?
She also thought about how far her conscience and beliefs could be pushed.
“I must be crazy for money.”
Feeling pathetic for all these thoughts, Mi Joo got into her car.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
