Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 3)

"This can't be possible. Mr. Yook told me that we have the same chances. How could Director Matt have not heard of my name? Ask him again," Annie was flustered by the sudden shock. She had never imagined that Sung-jae would deceive her in secret.

"I've already asked in detail. He is certain that he has never heard of your name. That is the truth. By the way, I am busy, so I need to go."

"Bro...look into it further for me. I really want to know what happened," Annie held back her tears as she pleaded in seriousness.

Hearing her slightly sobbing voice, her cousin was put in a difficult position. So, he agreed in the end, "OK, OK, tell me everything that happened and I'll look into it for you later tonight."

After a bit of time, Annie recalled everything that had happened over the past few days to her cousin, including how she had been 'bullied'.

After listening to her story, her cousin expressed his thoughts regarding the matter.

"Little cousin, according to my years of experience, it seems like you've been deceived."

"Bro...I don't quite understand."

"How could you be so stupid? Let me spell it out for you: I don't think your manager attempted to seize the opportunity for you, he simply used you as an excuse to discipline your opponent."

"No, that can't be. Mr. Yook has been really nice to me!" Annie refuted.

"Think about it carefully. Are you sure?" After expressing his thoughts, Annie's cousin hung up the phone, leaving Annie all alone in deep thought.

Never in her right mind would Annie have imagined that Sung-jae would treat her like that.

So, she pulled out her phone and decided to ask Sung-jae for clarification. But...

...if her cousin was right, yet she went to look for Sung-jae, wouldn't she be putting herself in a position of loss?

After careful thought, she decided to endure for the time being.

...

The next morning, So Hyun was in the living room reading through her contract. After walking out of her bedroom and seeing So Hyun's​ back facing her, Annie couldn't help but rush over and ask, "So Hyun, have you and Mr. Yook known each other for a long time?"

So Hyun felt like the sun must have risen from the west. Otherwise, why would Annie talk to her without any trace of coldness, "I've only known him a little longer than you."

"I can tell that he is really nice to you."

"Nice?" So Hyun scoffed as she threw her middle finger in the air, "When did you ever see that?"

"No matter how much you deny it, it's the truth."

So Hyun felt that it was impossible to converse with Annie, "If you don't have anything else, please don't disturb me from reading my contract."

Just as the two women stopped talking, Sung-jae knocked on the front door and entered the apartment. Without taking a single glance at So Hyun, he went straight over to Annie and said, "Tidy up a little. You have an important audition to go to."

Annie was surprised, but she did not feel happy at all. At this moment, she no longer felt it was possible to trust in Sung-jae.

"What? You don't want to go?"

"Please wait a moment." Annie quickly returned to her room and changed her clothes. Her endurance today was for the sake of her pride tomorrow, Annie reminded herself.
