Unbreakable love bond

25

After returning to the manor, Nancy and Jihyo ran out and greeted Nayeon as they excitedly held onto her arm. Nayeon simply laughed. She wasn't going to disappoint their expectations; especially not the person that thoughtfully helped her so much.

Jihyo noticed Nayeon's gaze was focused on the woman sitting on the sofa flipping through documents. She smiled cheekily as she pushed Nayeon towards her, "We won't be light bulbs anymore, hurry over and keep her company!"

After speaking, Jihyo and Nancy returned to their own respective rooms. However, not long after, Jihyo ran back out holding her phone towards Nayeon helplessly, "jungkook is calling, do you want to pick up?"

Nayeon took a quick glance at Jaemin before she nodded, grabbing the phone from Jihyo's hands.

"Nayeon, since the magazine has decided not to use you, you should return home first. There's no point for you to stay in the US. Don't blame my sister for being ruthless, she did it for the sake of jeon. The magazine wasn't happy with you, so you don't have the right to blame anyone," jungkook said, speaking like everything he and his sister did was right.

"After using me, you kicked me aside, now you want me to gladly accept all this?" Nayeon's tone was calm but contained a slight sense of ridicule.

"Why won't you give up? Why must you go against Yura? Why can't you just let us off?" jungkook asked impatiently. Nayeon felt like a heavy and annoying baggage that he was desperate to get rid of, but she just kept following him around.

"There is no reason for me to let despicable people off!" Nayeon's tone was firm, "I know how the industry is like. Today Yura has backup, so she is capable of stepping all over me and is using me to benefit herself. But, that doesn't mean she will still be this fortunate tomorrow..."

"You already have no chance, just let it go! The fact that I love Yura, is not her fault. My sister was right, you indeed do not have any tolerance."

Nayeon suddenly clenched her left fist. Sensing the change in her emotions, Jaemin reached out her comforting palm and pulled Nayeon into her warm embrace.

jungkook was indeed a heartless person, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to treat Nayeon this way. He took her love and destroyed her career, now he wanted her to support his new relationship - he was practically draining her of everything she had.

"Your selfishness will only push Yura further into hell." After speaking, Nayeon hung up the phone and tried her best to calm herself down.

Jaemin put down her documents, held onto Nayeon hands and gently swayed her body.

"I'm fine. It's normal to be annoyed once in a while, it helps me train a stronger heart."

"Did you see your mentor?" Jaemin did not ask any further as she changed the topic.

"Uh huh, it went smoothly." Nayeon naturally sat beside Jaemin as she leaned against her arms, "I also met a few famous photographers. Jaemin, I was so happy...all that was missing was you. I couldn't help thinking, if I could attend an event like that holding your hand, how perfect it would be."

"You will have plenty of chances in the future," Jaemin responded suggestively.

"Are you tired? Should I give you a massage?" Nayeon asked as she knelt beside her. However, before she could do anything, Jaemin turned towards her, grabbed hold of Nayeon hand and picked Nayeon up in her arms; carrying her horizontally.

"I want you to massage a different part of me..."

"Hubby...I won't make you wait much longer..." Under the moonlight, Nayeon hugged Jaemin and as the moment became more passionate, she mumbled, "...because I realized, when I think of you kissing someone else, I feel extremely uneasy."

...

Early the next morning. Secret's Headquarters. Mina once again notified Yura and the others to attend a meeting. After writing up the contract yesterday, today they had to officially sign it.

Yura wanted to take part in the magazine shoot as soon as possible because the child in her stomach was already over 1 month old. If things kept getting delayed, people would easily discover soon.

The Top Ten Model Awards was to take place in half a months time. She wanted to use the results from Secret's shoot to obtain an award, that way she would be able to climb up the ranks to become an A-grade model. As Secret was a weekly publication, her appearance in the magazine would be before the awards ceremony. So, whether she would be able to influence the Oriental Trend, would go towards her assessment for the Top Ten Model Awards qualifications.

5 minutes later, Mina entered the meeting room. She glared at Yura and Ruoxue with a mocking expression, however, they didn't realize.

"Mina, we are ready to go. We can get started with the shoot as soon as you are ready. Don't worry, Yura is an extremely professional model, she will definitely complete the task given by Secret and ignite the Oriental Trend."

"Also, we have already organized for Nayeon to fly home, she won't be causing us any more trouble...after all, you know she's not easy to deal with."

Mina sneered as she played with the pen in her hand, "What should we do now? Sorry, Ruoxue, unfortunately, I didn't ask you here to sign the contract...I...asked you here to change models again."

After speaking, Mina tore the contract in Yura's hands into shreds, "I'm no longer using either of your models. This is the condition the model I want has given me."

Upon hearing this, Ruoxue slammed her hands on the table angrily, "Mina, what do you mean by this?"

Ruoxue had never thought Secret would go back on their words.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I said I won't be signing Yura. For the sake of your family's personal matters, you've shoved an unworthy model into my hands. Ruoxue, is this how you treat your friends?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Ruoxue had a surprised expression.

"Fine, let me ask you one thing: why did you tell me Nayeon is a newcomer? She is already internationally renowned and has received multiple awards. She is even the disciple of Royal Magazine's editor, yet you intentionally told me she's a newcomer. Were you afraid I wouldn't take Yura, so you deliberately defamed her?" Mina exclaimed loudly.

"I..." Ruoxue was choked up.

"Did you know, because of your selfishness, how humiliated I felt at last night's photography exhibition?"

Mina continued to blame Ruoxue regardless of their past friendship, "Ruoxue, I don't care what you do when no one is looking, but in front of me you better contain your scheming."

"But, you can't just say you don't want her like that. You've seen Yura's abilities before..."

"Regarding this matter...I have no say - I've already made a promise to the model I've worked so hard to sign. If you want to plead, go speak to her. As long as she agrees to work with Yura, I have no opinion." Mina placed the shredded contract on the table and turned to ask her assistant, "Has she arrived?"

"Yes, she's arrived."

Hearing all this, Ruoxue clenched her teeth, "Let me see who this model that has made you shred up our contract and sever our ties is."
