Married To Ms. Billionaire; (Ryeji Ver.)

When She Needs Me The Most.

I heard the doorbell ring and proceeded to open it.

"Hello maid, where is my daughter Ryujin?" her mother was at the door.

"She is in her room, ma'm. She has the day off." I replied.

She stepped in practically running over me. After her came Tzuyu. She was beautiful with her red dress on and her black smooth silky hair that passed her shoulders.

"Psy!" she shouted.

"Yes milady." Psy came in a rush.

"Get Tzuyu and I a drink." she snapped.

"At your service milady." Psy left in a jiffy.

Out of all people I've ever met in my life I surely wasn't too fond of Ryujin's mother. She was rude, and obnoxious. She went up the stairs to Ryujin's room without even asking permission. Though, I don't see the need to since this used to be her home. And now since Ryujin's father was sick, they gave it to her. After seeing her on her way, I escorted Tzuyu to the dining room and told her to wait.

"You're not leaving me here right?" she exclaimed.

"Huh?" I said turning around to face her.

"Can't even get a petty maid to welcome me the way it should be." she snapped.

"Excuse me?" I asked stepping closer.

"Just go do your job." she flipped her hair.

I turned back around, furiously walking back to the kitchen. I saw Psy getting the drinks ready and decided to tell him what was going on.

"Psy, how do you deal with her mother and can you believe what that girl in there just told me?" I whispered.

"Ah yes, Miss. Hwang, I told you I've worked here for 20 years, and I know I heard it all. Just try to ignore it that way you don't lose your job." he said.

"Well it's going to take me a while. I thought she was actually nice." I sneered.

Psy walked back outside to deliver the drinks and I passed out the napkins. Ryujin and I looked at each other awkwardly and I changed my direction of view.

"Good morning, Yeji, I know you saw me." She said.

"Oh, good morning Ryu-I mean Ms. Shin." I smiled.

I could tell Tzuyu noticed because she glared at me. It was like she was burning through my skin with her laser eyes. What the hell was her problem? I walked back to the kitchen with Psy and prepared freshly cut fruits as a snack for them.

A while later when Ryujin's mother and Tzuyu were on they're way outside, I overheard Ryujin's mother whispering to her.

"You hear me good daughter, don't let Tzuyu get away. She's rich and beautiful and your father's last dying wish is to see you married." she said.

"Mother, I don't love her, I like someone else." She explained.

"Who is it? Is she important because if she isn't I don't want explanations." she said as she walked out.

I looked over at Ryujin who's knuckles turned white, and her face turned red little by little.

She took her coat and threw with immense force to the marbled floor.

"Damn it!" She yelled through clenched teeth.

I turned my back on the wall I was eavesdropping by and closed my eyes while taking a deep breath. If Ryujin's mother didn't even want to hear about who she liked, then she's not going to want to hear that Ryujin likes a poor girl instead of a rich one like Tzuyu. I was filled with mixed emotions and felt like nothing was going right.

What was I supposed to do? I was falling hard for a rich woman who was betrothed to someone else.

I was walking to my room and saw Ryujin sitting against the wall by my room.

"Ryujin?" I said kneeling down to her.

"Yeji, why are you coming to your room so late? I've been here for the past hour." She said.

"Well why did you wait for me here instead of going to where I was moron?" I chuckled.

"Don't mock me, Yeji. I didn't because I wanted to be alone with you and Psy is out there." She explained and grabbed my hand.

"Well I'm here now, what happened?" I asked. She leaned forward.

"Ryu-" I said but stopped speaking.

Her arms wrapped around me and she buried her face in my neck.

"Yeji, I just want to hold you even if it's not kissing you." She said softly.

I smiled, and thanked God for her respecting me and not kissing me or touching me in any way like she said she wouldn't. She hugged me for a long time and I kissed her cheek

"Ryujin just go to bed." I said.

"I can't sleep. My mother is just so ...agh"' she said clenching her fists.

"I understand." I said softly putting my hand over her.

"And my dad...he came the night you saw them but he's not in good shape, he hasn't been for a while now." She explained.

'I know I'm sorry Ryujin, I really am." I pushed her head to my shoulder.

She wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed me tightly. Ryujin and I stayed like that for a while more until she decided it was late and I needed my rest.
