Son Chaeyoung has never expect that the best bargain he ever came across would receive an unequivocal “NO” the moment he mentioned that the seller is Jung Yeeun.
“Look, let’s keep business and personal feelings separate.” he says to Tzuyu.
“Can you at least be mature enough not to mix the two together?”
“I dislike him.”
“Why do you dislike him so much? It is not as if he pinched your butt.”
“Son Chaeyoung, I am getting angry.”
“You are getting angry? I am nearly dying from anger right now!”
“Go ahead and die first if that is the case. When you have resurrected, help me look for another shop.” Tzuyu hangs up, looking none too happy. Many years back when Chaeyoung has doubted his sexual orientation, he has endured the insult. But he has crossed the line this time with his suspicion on his relationship with his love-rival.
His anger caught Sana’s interest and she looks up from her reading spot at the sunny balcony. Tzuyu is not someone who gets angry easily and Sana is curious what has roused his ire. When he shies away from her curious gaze, she finds his reluctance funny and giggles. After a pause, he walks over and peers at the thick volume in her hand entitled “The Dummy’s Guide to Quantum Physics”. Sana has bought the book to help her understand a bit more about Tzuyu’s work and Tzuyu’s remark when he sees the book title is:
“Can you understand its contents?”
“Sure I can. I just read that Newton has a big quarrel with Hooke. It has never crossed my mind that the life scientists can be so exciting.”
This is all she understand? Amused, he strokes her hair gently while she turns the table around. “Why were you angry just now?”
“It is only a small matter that is not worth mentioning. Do you really intend to go for the job interview tomorrow?”
“Yup! I think I should not forsake my career.” Sana has finally figured it out the answer to the “purpose of life”. Such a profound question should be answered by profound man, and a normal person such as herself should not attempt to think herself into coma. Since she has spent years in the car industry, why not continue to expand her knowledge in this field, as well as client network? However, she recognizes that being a sales leader is very demanding on her time so she is aiming for a management position this time. The dealership she is going tomorrow carries several automobile brands although the flip side to these brands are that their cars are not the easiest to market. But on the plus side, the shop is situated in Seouls fifth circle which she can commute by the metro relatively easily. To top it off, it is still an opportunity so why should she not go?
Privately, Tzuyu does not wish for Sana to continue working, but he respects her decision and keeps his reservations to himself. Wait and see, he thinks, when you become my wife and have your own car shop, you can choose whichever position you want, be it general manager, director or CEO. But no matter what position you choose, you must not let work come between us. And I will visit you often to bring you pack lunches, and we can do this, and that…..
He is jostled out from his imagination by an incoming call. After speaking into his phone, he turns to Sana. “My dad and mom would like to invite you to eat with them this weekend, will you be able to make it?”
Sana nods slowly, a little unsure. Mothers usually have a big say in their children marriages and would Madam Chou look down on her? Seeing her unconscious frown, Tzuyu reaches out a hand to smooth away the furrow. “What’s wrong? Do you not wish to go?”
