Is it because you like me?

The next day, Choi Tzuyu arrived at Park Capital in a wheelchair. She intentionally made her face appear a little pale with make-up. As a performer, she was quite skilled when it comes to make-up and her techniques were on par with professional make-up artists.

"Are you sure that he agreed to meet with me?" she asked her secretary the moment they entered the building of Park Capital.

"Yes, Miss. Secretary Han confirmed it." Then Yanyan approached the reception counter and gave Choi Tzuyu's name to the receptionist. After checking against her visitor records, she swiftly led them to the common lobby.

"Why am I not directed to the VIP elevator today?" Choi Tzuyu asked Yanyan. "Did you tell them that I was using the VIP elevator the last time I was here?"

"The receptionist said that the VIP elevator is only for VIP clients," Yanyan answered meekly. Given her understanding of Choi Tzuyu's character, she knew she would be offended.

"Good. Very Good. This must be that woman's doing!" Choi Tzuyu gritted her teeth in annoyance. She was still someone from the Choi family after all. How could Park Jimin disregard her status and not treat her with the respect that was due to her? She did not deserve this.

Unlike the VIP elevator, the elevators in the common lobby do not lead them straight to the president's office. Instead, they would have to exit at the fifteenth floor, walk through a corridor and transfer into another elevator that will then lead them to the president's office on the highest floor. In other words, the common route to the president's office was not very convenient.

Choi Tzuyu didn't have any other choice but to swallow all her grievances for now. She had already come so far as to arrive in a wheelchair. She reminded herself of her goal which was to show Park Jimin the video in her possession and reveal Roseanne's true colors. She convinced herself that she needed to save Park Jimin from Roseanne.

"Miss, we are here. Please remain calm and-"

"I know what to do!" Choi Tzuyu hissed at her secretary but quickly adjusted her expression when she saw Secretary Han approaching them. "Secretary Han. It's nice to see you again," Choi Tzuyu said with a smile.

"Miss Choi, please follow me," Secretary Han said as he led them inside Park Jimin's office.

Her eyes immediately caught sight of Park Jimin's handsome back the moment she entered his office. He was looking out of the window with his hands tucked behind him.

"President, Miss Choi is here," Secretary Han announced before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

"Mr. Park... I was actually surprised that you agreed to meet with me, especially after what happened yesterday..." Choi Tzuyu paused to observe Park Jimin's reaction before she continued, "I'm guessing that you want to find out what really happened yesterday right?"

After their altercation yesterday, Choi Tzuyu had instructed her secretary to obtain the footage from the CCTVs around the area. After obtaining the CCTV footage for that entire duration, Yanyan instructed the staff to erase the footage from the mall's surveillance system.

If Park Jimin had seen the CCTV footage, he would have already known the truth and there wouldn't be a reason for him to agree to meet her. Hence Choi Tzuyu was sure that Roseanne didn't manage to get her hands on the footage and claim her innocence.

"I always knew that you are rational and fair. I want to show you something," she added before taking out her tablet. She gestured for Yanyan to play the video for Park Jimin. Yanyan carefully placed the tablet on his desk before pressing the play button.

"From this video, it is clear that Miss Roseanne was the one at fault. She intentionally pushed me and caused me to sustain injuries. I'm not sure what Roseanne told you but I demand justice." Choi Tzuyu's eyes never left his back. Up till now, he hadn't even turned around to look at her and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"I thought that you came here to apologize for what you did but I guessed I was wrong," Park Jimin finally spoke. His words made her swallow hard.

Then Park Jimin turned around and sat down at his desk. "If I tell you that Roseanne and I never talked about this at all, would you believe me?"

"..."

"Do you know why video isn't trending? Or why you aren't getting any media coverage for your video?" Park Jimin scoffed. Though Roseanne had taken some measures of her own, it was Park Jimin who made sure that the video didn't even reach the internet. He also threatened the media not to align themselves with Choi Tzuyu.

"Why don't you tell me your motives, Miss Choi? Why are you trying to ruin my wife's reputation? Is it because you like me?" His bluntness made Choi Tzuyu speechless. "Is it not clear enough to you that there is nothing that you could do to make me reciprocate your feelings?"

Choi Tzuyu stared at Park Jimin, her mouth agape. How could he...

Seeing Choi Tzuyu speechless, Park Jimin continued. "You have been causing problems for my wife. That is enough reason for me to have you killed."

"Mr. Park!" Choi Tzuyu exclaimed.

"What? Do you think your parents would care if you disappear?"

Again, she was not able to answer. What Park Jimin said about her parents hit the spot in her heart where it hurts.

"You are ruthless!" She said after a few seconds. "Was messing with my sponsorships not enough? Now you are threatening to kill me?"

"I can kill you now and no one will ask any questions. Not your parents, not your fans and certainly not your sister. But to kill you is being too kind. And I am not the type of person to show kindness to my enemies," Park Jimin spat out.

Then he rose from his seat and picked up a picture frame that was sitting on his desk. You could see the gentleness in his eyes as he stared at the picture in the frame. "You are not even fit to breathe the same air as my Rose," he added.

By this time, Choi Tzuyu was already trembling inside. Park Jimin might look calm on the outside but anger was building inside him and threatening to explode. His cold words and his condescending tone made her extremely nervous.

"As we speak, videos of your illicit bedroom activities with your manager are being streamed on several pornographic websites," Park Jimin casually said as he carefully placed the picture frame back on his desk. "I'm sure no one will want to hire you anymore and your parents will hate you even more."

"Mr. Park... what are you talking about?" she said as she signaled her secretary to search the internet to verify his words. Seeing the look of shock on Yanyan's face, Choi Tzuyu immediately cried out, "How could you ruin me like this?"

"Miss Choi must be joking. Who is the one who loves to spread videos online? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Now you know how it feels like to be...famous. Maybe you will change your ways from now." Park Jimin chuckled. "If I wanted you ruined... you wouldn't even have the chance to speak to me right now."

"Mr. Park... I..."

"I could have auctioned you off in the underworld but I didn't, because you reminded my wife of her previous self."

"..."

"This is for you. It's for a high-end escort service company that I own." Park Jimin gave a small calling card to Choi Tzuyu. "May this remind you not to mess with my wife again, or else-"

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Choi Tzuyu rose from her wheelchair and hastily left the office. If she stayed any longer, she was sure that he would be even more ruthless towards her. Choi Tzuyu wiped her tears as she ran towards the elevator, her secretary following closely behind.

She was ruined.

"President, shall we stop her?" Secretary Han calmly asked after Choi Tzuyu was gone.

"Let her go but have someone follow her. One wrong move and she will be auctioned off. I'm sure many older businessmen would love to have someone like her as a slave."

Secretary Han involuntarily cringed at Park Jimin's words. The president's ruthlessness was not new to him but witnessing it first-hand still gave him the chills.

Cold and deadly.

Secretary Han could only pray that Choi Tzuyu doesn't make a wrong move or else she would end up like Sakura and every other woman who tried to scheme their way into his bed.
