Amour-propre

capitulo nuebe

Irene would have turned her back when her father spoke.

"Shouldn't you thank your mother because she ask for your whereabouts and that means that your mother and sister really cares about you and your brothers condition?" by what Mr. Bae stated the mother and daughter feel ecstatic because it made them confident and it only add fuel to their intention of mocking Irene and Jin's current situation.

When Irene heard this, her heart suddenly in rage of anger and she feel disgust with her father, because of this, they were able to get more attention because they were still in the middle of the hallway so they were more exposed to people who wish to exit and enter the building and in addition there were some who knew his father and Sehun because they were also known in the field of business so there are some who simply listen to the conversation and even taking shoots of the commotion.

every time that the mother and daughter intentionally mocked her she could endure everything but Irene comes to her limit this time specially that no one is taking her side, even her own father were no longer the protective that she used to.

she looked at them. 'what an image of a perfect family' she mentally stated and with that it only made her aggrieved by the situation which she only slyly smirked by the sight.

"Thank you? I will just remind you that she is not my mother and most of all I have nothing to be thankful for, you as our father you should be by our side but where are you at the times we need you? Isn't it? So I don't have to thank anyone more than you who doesn't deserve to be called a father " Irene couldn't help herself of letting out her frustrations .

Irene, received a pair of slaps from her father that she did not expect to lay hands on her, it was already hard for her not to look at her father the way she did before, but laying on of hands was too much for her to take.

"Irene, you're too arrogant don't you think?, I hope you learn how to be humble at least once, it will do good for you" Sehun butted in.

Irene just laugh of what Sehun stated, the man she used to admire and look up to be by her side and defend her in any harm is the man she hates now, and she is sick of remembering that this is the man she once loved more than herself, so Irene couldn't help but to painfully laugh of what they had become and especially in his relationship with her father.

Mr.Bae called and signal his personal body guard to drive Irene away, he took advantage of his Power as the golden member of the restaurant so no one intends to help or stop Mr. Bae's command and a pitiful look is what they can only give at Irene.

Meanwhile, Lisa was on the second floor of the restaurant standing with her both hands inside her pants pocket and she witnessed the whole situation and she couldn't help but be dissatisfied with what they did to Irene it made her frantic the moment her own father slapped her in public.

Lisa had just finished her meeting when she heard the commotion so she decided to personally look and she was surprised that Irene was one of those whose involved and so she immediately summoned the manager of the restaurant.

the two Body Guards complied immediately and hold Irene in her arm to get her out of the building, while Suzy and her mother seem to be very happy with what's happening to her, and Sehun can't help but feel a little pity for Irene, he cannot stop Mr. Bae at all.

"try to touch her unless all you have the guts to do so"

a voice echoed that made everyone turned to and when they saw where it came from Irene's father could not help but confuse because of what the woman said that he reckon to be the same as Irene's age but she is taller and a little bit thinner and what made her stand out is her blue piercing eyes, but Mr. Bae care no Less of this woman.

"You don't know me kid? don't interfere with my matter, you better leave her before I could change my mind and kick you out also, and don't say I didn't warn you. So stay away from here now!" Irene's father's voice was threatening, if others could shiver to fear but for Lisa it was nothing but a shallow statement.

she didn't retaliate and just looked straight into the man's eyes.

"Take her out now!" Irene's father authoritatively commanded .

But before they could touch Irene, Lisa knocked them down with just a kicked, they didn't even notice that Lisa's moved and kicked them, they couldn't move and scream in horror for why a mere and little girl can make them squeeze into pain by just that.

Mr. Bae was even angrier by what he saw so he called the manager of the building.

When the manager arrived along with some other body guards the old man was overjoyed and felt sorry for the girl for he will take revenge by the humiliation caused by the girl and Irene.

But what everyone made so shocked is the manager's action that immediately apologized for the mess that happened to the girl who manage to humiliate the Bae's while helping Irene.

"you alright? Does anything hurt?" Lisa asks Irene as she helps.

"I apologized miss of the trouble that happened here, I promise it won't happen the second time around" the manager, Mr. Jeon stated, which made everyone surprised, because the well -known Jeon Hyun Seok gives respect to a girl.

"Just make sure or leave your position to the other suitable working in your place, you already know what you're going to do" Lisa told him then they left.

Mr. Bae was supposed to stop them but the guards stopped him while the manager was just talking to someone in his phone and after a while someone approached him with a black box.

"Mr. Bae this money is our compensation for cutting and removing you as a member of Lili's bite n 'kitchen" the manager stated.

Many were surprised by what the manager said because it was not just a matter of becoming a member but it happened in a flash. Mr.Bae was very surprised as well as Suzy, Sehun and Suzy's mother in what happened.

"manager Jeon, are you kidding? I have been a member here for a long time and I do not understand in what way or reason why I will be removed from the membership "Mr. Bae cannot comprehend at all by the sudden termination of his membership .

"About that Mr. Bae, I just followed the wishes of the higher ups, and maybe this money will be enough to pay you as your compensation" Mr. Jeon replied

"You can't do this to me" Mr. Bae insisted

Mr. Jeon signaled to the guards to lead them out of the building and arrange someone to clean the messed and reminded the front disk to not let them enter again inside the building.
