Billionaire's Queen

Twenty-One

The photographer was having a great time doing his job because Dara was so good. "Wow! You are great! Okay stay that way and look feisty for me." the photographer was instructing her. "Okay, last one...an...d done. You did great Dara. Well done." the photographer keeps on praising her.

"Thank you so much. I couldn't have done it well if you didn't instruct me well." Dara humbly said.

Chaerin finally went to Dara and gave her bottled water. She was cautious of the woman earlier, but she just kept it to herself. She led Dara back to the makeup room and helped her change.

Dara then started to go to the bathroom to wash her face off of makeup. She really doesn't wear a lot of makeup unless it's needed for her work. It's still a bit early for Jiyong to pick her up and so she and Chaerin quietly waited in the makeup room.
Dara pulled out her phone and started reading her email when she heard the whispers on the other side of the room. She was about to ignore them but when she heard her name she quietly tried to listen.

"Isn't she Sandie Park the famous teen model from years back?" one of the women was saying.

"I think so too but was not sure because her name is different." another lady said.

"She's so gorgeous though and very professional. That's why the photographer was able to finish early." the other woman said.

"If you two are done gossiping about that nobody. Can you just do your job and help clean up?" another female voice was saying and was very rude.

Chaerin's ear started to feel hot and was about to get up but Dara held her arm and quietly shakes her head from side to side. Chaerin looked at her defeated and sat back down with a pout.

Dara just gave her an amused smile as she saw her assistant's reaction. She appreciates Chaerin's loyalty and how she gets defensive when someone is bad-mouthing her. She knows that she is secretly reporting to her husband and her adopted dad. But she is not stopping her because she's only doing her job.

Dara's phone buzz indicating that her husband is there to pick them up. "Hello. Okay, we'll be right out. Bye." she ended the call and urged Chaerin to get their things and go.

Just as they exit out of the makeup room the lady from earlier also came out of the other room. Both Dara and the lady looked at each other. But the lady raised her right brows at her as she looked her up and down and gave her a not so polite sneered and rolled her eyes. Dara just stoically looked back at her unbothered by that lady's sneered as she rolled her eyes on her as well and walked away.

The lady was taken aback by how Dara rolled her eyes at her and just walked away from her. "Nobody. And I mean nobody dares to roll their eyes at me!" she furiously yelled out loud. "You better watch your back. You never know somebody might sneak up behind you and dig your eyes out," she said out loud for everyone to hear, especially Dara.

Dara froze on her spot as she slowly turned around to face the lady with a sarcastic smile who threatened her. "Oh! Was I rolling my eyes at you? I meant to do just that and mind you I don't take threats lightly." she said smiling sarcastically. "You see I'm allergic to a lot of things especially from people who think so highly of themselves. Now if you will excuse me. I have to take my allergy pill. See ya! Byeeei!" she finished it at that as she waved her right hand in goodbye form and walked away. The lady was dumbfounded.

Chaerin squealed out loud in amazement as she followed Dara but decided to turn around back to the lady and copied Dara's, "See ya! B-byeeei!" with a hand wave and ran after her. She also noticed the other's squealing reaction and put her two thumbs up at them.

Coming out Dara saw Jiyong leaning on his car as he patiently waits for them. He looked up upon hearing their footsteps and smiled at his wife. Dara feeling giddy every time her husband looked at her like that as if he misses her all the time. She also returned his smile and Jiyong gasped.

"How was your photoshoot?" he said as he held her waist closer to him as soon as she's in front of him.

"It was great. Thank you for asking." she smiled at him again before Jiyong kissed her passionately not caring if Chaerin is there. He then opened the passenger door for his wife as he made sure she is settled in before walking around the front of the car and get into the driver's side.

Chaerin was still feeling amused as she entered the car and Jiyong notice this.

"What seems to be so amusing?" he asked as he steered the wheel out of the parking.

"OMG boss! I can't believe that your shy and quiet wife has it in her." Jiyong furrowed his brows as he looked at Chaerin from the rearview mirror and to his wife who just shyly smiled at him. She then told him the story and Jiyong was proudly smiling at his wife when they looked at each other and entwined their hands.

"Any idea of who that lady is?" he asked openly.

Dara shakes her head from side to side for she couldn't care less who that lady was.

Chaerin did the same thing but added. "Whoever she is, she's bad news, and hopes that we won't see her fake face ever again."

They arrived at the cottage just in time for dinner. Jiyong helped his wife out of the car as Chaerin took Dara's bag to her room.

"Why don't you go up and rest for a bit while I prepared our dinner." he sweetly said to his wife.

Dara stayed rooted and said. "Why don't you go and get some rest for a bit while I  prepared our dinner," she said as she gently pushed him up the stairs.

Jiyong furrowed his brows and was about to say something when Dara gave him a "Do not argue with me mister." kind of look. Jiyong chuckled and left as he unbelievably was just ordered again by none other than his wife. He's still getting the hang of being ordered around but will only take it from his wife and no one else.
