Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 97: It's Time to Fight Back

On the way to the radio station, Jooeun got out of the car halfway to buy some medicine and fetch some warm water; only after she watched Jeonghwan take the medicine did she feel rest assured. Jeonghwan looked at the anxious look on her face and revealed a slight smile. "I've already taken the medicine, are you still angry?"

"Next time this happens, are you not going to tell me again?" Jooeun stared at him and asked.

"I know you are strong and can always find a way to tackle a problem. You only ever allow people to see the good side of you. However, true married couples should be able to rely on each other when they are at their weakest. You might think it's a small issue, but it still makes me worried. Jeonghwan, the type of love I want is not complex. I just want a person that cares about me and that I can also care for in return."

After hearing her words, Jeonghwan is silent for a couple of seconds before he reached out his arms and pulled her into his embrace. "I won't hide this from you again. I will listen to you."

Jooeun gently punched Jeonghwan's chest in protest before tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.

As the King of an Entertainment Empire, it's normal for Jeonghwan to make decisions without batting an eyelid. After all, this is a cruel world and the entertainment industry is probably the cruelest industry of all. Although he hadn't gotten to the stage of being fake, he is still not the kind of person to show his true self to others. However, the woman in his arms is so anxious over simple flu. It's like she had displayed the most basic and pure form of human interaction to him.

That's right! If you love someone, then go ahead and express your love, whine in front of them, get angry in front of them and give all you have to them. Why must you hold back even in front of the person you love?

The couple happily embraced each other in silence, like they are absorbing each other's warmth. A moment later, the alarm on Jooeun's phone went off. It's 7:50 pm; the meeting at the radio station is about to start, but Jooeun is still on her way. Jooeun furrowed her eyebrows but didn't say a word.

However, Jeonghwan took the phone from her hands and said, "I won't let you suffer."

Inside the meeting room of the radio station.

The station manager, announcer, and other guests had already arrived. However, Jooeun had yet to make an appearance. The station manager glanced at Minjung who's sitting in Jooeun's seat, a look of disgust flashed across his face. Minjung's heart sank, she had a bad feeling.

This radio station is very famous in the industry. Although their radio show isn't broadcasted live, they still had a great reputation because of its fine production and workflow. Naturally, there are plenty of celebrities that wanted to go on this show. As a slightly famous model, Jooeun had the least amount of influence amongst the 4 guests that had been invited, yet she is uncaring enough to only have her assistant attend the meeting.

The station manager is a 30-something-year-old man. As he already had a bit of white hair, he appeared a lot older than he is. He pointed at Minjung and said, "Miss Jang, you can go. And tell your model she will never get the chance to go on our show again."

It's not that Minjung didn't try to save the situation, but the man is unwilling to listen to her. No matter what the reason is, if someone didn't show up at the organized time, to him, it simply meant they aren't professional enough and had no work ethics.

The other people in the room also looked at Minjung impatiently. It's like they were telling her to hurry up and leave so she could stop delaying the progress of their work. Everyone had rushed over from various locations, Jooeun isn't the only one that's busy.

Minjung unwillingly got up out of her seat. Just as she's about to leave, Jooeun arrived at the doorway trying to catch her breath. "Sorry, I'm late."

Seeing Jooeun, the station manager stood up and yelled at her angrily. "Do you think this is a marketplace where you can arrive at whatever time you want? Cha Jooeun-ssi, let me tell you. Take your assistant and leave. For a person that depends on bed-climbing rumors to get famous, how dare you treat yourself like someone of importance?"

Jooeun is dumbfounded for a moment before calming herself down and pulling Minjung to her side. "Let's leave immediately."

"Jooeun ..."

"It's OK." Jooeun shook her head as she looked at the people in the meeting room. She didn't feel humiliated at all as she walked out in confidence.

"That's the first person to be late for one of my shows! Who does she think she is?" After releasing his anger, he returned to his seat to continue the meeting. However, at this moment, his assistant walked in with a man. The man is dressed in a tidy suit and had a pair of black-framed glasses perched atop his nose.

"Assistant Park, it's you. I didn't know you'd be coming. Sorry I didn't come out to greet you." The station manager stood up and greeted Taejoo respectfully.

"No need to be polite. I am here on behalf of President Lee to announce something: GK has decided to end its sponsorship for this radio station."

The man is stunned. When did he get on Lee Jeonghwan's bad side? He quickly invited Taejoo outside for a talk.

"What...what is the meaning of this? The show is going well. Did we do something President Lee isn't pleased with?"

"Since you won't give other people an opportunity to explain, our President can also do the same to you. That model, Cha Jooeun, was late because of our President. It's OK for her not to go on your show, but our President has to return her favor. So let's just say: you guys are out of luck."

After hearing it's because of Jooeun, the man felt a chill down his spine. All his results over the years had given him a proud personality; he had long forgotten how to give others a chance. Who would have thought he'd be faced with this challenge?

"Assistant Park, can you please help me plea to the President? We can't just stop this show..."

"To President Lee, stopping a show simply means a new show will start."

"I will take note, from now on I will no longer be so arrogant." The station manager's forehead is already breaking out in a cold sweat. This is his career, something he had worked hard on; he couldn't just give it up.

"She's only late by less than a minute. It's bad enough that you asked her to leave without letting her explain herself, was it necessary to insult her? You can call Cha Jooeun yourself and beg for forgiveness. Also, President Lee doesn't want to hear any ridiculous rumors, so watch what you say."

Just thinking of having to contact Jooeun, the man is reminded of how arrogant he was when he told her to leave. He didn't want to do it. But for the sake of the show and to not offend GK, he immediately asked for Cha Jooeun's contact details from his assistant.

Minjung picked up the phone, they were already back in the car. The station manager requested for them to return, his tone is a lot nicer than before.

Jooeun received the phone from Minjung and listened as the man spoke. "Miss Cha, I was too impulsive; I didn't ask for your explanation before talking to you in such a rude way, I am extremely apologetic. Can you please come back?"

"Today, I was indeed late, you don't need to be sorry. It's a shame I won't be going on your show."

"Then, what about President Lee..."

Jooeun suddenly remembered what this man had said about her bed-climbing earlier, so her voice became cold. "Since I have paid for my mistake, you must also face the consequences of your words!"

This station manager and the man that had asked her to be a nude model. She remembered them clearly. Just because she is polite, it didn't mean she had no temper. Since the bed-climbing incident had been turned around, it's also time for her to fight back!
