"It's been two months since you barged in the wedding huh, rich handsome young man?" The 40s woman casually asks in sarcasm, not forget to emphasize the word 'rich' as if it is the only thing she cares out of this world.
It's her true face anyways.
Deep inside it's not hard for her to aware of the reason why the said man asked for an appointment today.
"Stop pulling your marriage deal on Hyemi."
"What if I don't?" She scoffs, "That orphan owes me a shelter to live, eat and grown up. It's time we get the fruit of our patience and money during those years."
In this woman eyes, her foster daughter is a bad news.
As a decent girl she is, Hyemi would never do anything against her foster family because her mind sticks with the fear of being abandoned, being a child that unwanted. There are uncountable times she wonders why her biological parents left her.
Seeing Hyemi being desperate like this hurts Hongjoong the most.
Every single heartless words from the wicked woman who is sitting opposite gets on Hongjoong's nerves. His jaws clench due to anger but he still manages to be composed on the metal chair of the cafe. It's located in a different district which is pretty far from his work place. The Song company to be more exact.
Why a far cafe? Rumor would spread like wild fire if people from the company see him and the man doesn't like it at all when things not related to work wander around the company.
Taking a sip from her cup of tea after the conversation is followed by silence, the woman shots the young man a cocky smile, "Don't think highly of yourself just because you got lucky to happen being adopted by a rich family, Mr. Kim".
Has Hongjoong ever thought highly of himself? Not even once.
Otherwise, the male knows he must study hard, work hard, do everything hard in general to not burden his foster parents despite being loved equally as Mingi, the biological son of the family. Being adopted by wealthy parents may be comfortable in terms of money but the struggle to get people's approval would never be eager at all.
"What do you want?" Knowing where thing should end, Hongjoong asks the woman without hesitation, eyes briefly scan the time on his wrist watch as he's gonna attend a meeting at the company this afternoon.
"Glad to know my daughter has a smart friend like you here. Such a shame she hasn't known her advantage yet." A chuckle leaves the woman's lips shamelessly because of seeing the red haired man gets to the point quickly. As if this scene is inevitable like her plan beforehand.
