His whole body language changed. His arms went to his waist, and his expression, along with his jaw, hardened. "Well, Ma'am, there ain't any need to be worried. Other than being jobless and without her son, she's just fine. Due to the recent events with the President, we are keeping our witness under protection."

Did this fucker just try to backhand me under-handedly?

"I only recently learned about her losing her job," I said. "If you could please let her know she can have it back once this has all died down, I would be grateful." And I won't slit your throat.


He frowned, looking me over carefully before glancing over to Jimin and Suho. "A lot of muscle you have there just to see a maid. I'm sure you people can find a new maid in a jiffy."


"Who, them?" I pointed to Jimin and Suho. "My husband is so paranoid sometimes, and now that I'm pregnant, he's just gone bonkers. Ms. Mun has been working for us for years. She's been trying to bring her son over. When I heard my sister-in-law fired her, I felt horrible. She's not only done so much for us, but now she's stood against injustice, against the most powerful woman in the country. With that type of strength, I wish I could do more for her. I truly want to let her know that the Kims are in her corner if she needs anything. You can do that, right officer? I'm not breaking some super-secret police code, right?"


"Yeah." He nodded. "I'll have it passed along once she testifies tomorrow."


"Thank you, Officer Sickjun—"


"Sijun."


"I'm so sorry. I'm horrible with new names. It's pregnancy brain. Can you believe I'm almost eight months already? Well, I'll be off. Thank you again." Reaching out to take his hand, he smiled as he shook mine.


"You too, Mrs. Kim. Congrats on the Senator's win."


"He hasn't won yet. The election isn't for another three weeks." Or did he have a crystal ball up his ass?


He shrugged. "Everybody knows now that the First Lady is out of the picture, your man is about to become the leader of the free world. You Kims always have the best luck. How do you all do it?"

He wants to do this now?


"We're just blessed, I think. Good things happen to good people, right? I still can't believe all that mess with the First Lady."


"You know," he laughed, "there's this crazy rumor going around about how you were all connected in this somehow. That this was all part of your husband's master plan to get his guy in the White House for his own agenda. The First Lady said she had help, but she didn't know the woman's name. What do you think about that?"


He was pushing the wrong hormonal woman right now.


"Should I...call my husband or my lawyer or something?" I asked him, rubbing my stomach.


Before he could speak, Nam walked up beside him. "Mrs. Kim? Is there anything I can do for you? I'm so sorry, none of us knew you were coming in today."
