The Vicious Wife

Jeon

The dinner that they shared after sunset was sumptuous. Though Park Jimin did not make everything by himself, all of the food he bought satisfied Roseanne. After they had dinner, they decided to fly back to the city and went home together. The weekend passed peacefully for the couple.

July 18th, Monday

Just like any Monday, Roseanne was busy running the Anne Group. For reasons unknown, she felt happier and lighter as the weeks went by. Of course, deep inside she also knew that this was because of Park Jimin. However, this feeling did not hinder her from working hard for the launching of the Anne Group's new head office.

After another meeting, Roseanne noticed that it was almost three in the afternoon. Since she didn't have another meeting for the day, Roseanne decided to go to Park Jimin's office and bring him some coffee. Moreover, she was also planning to talk to him about Li Industries.

On her way to his office, Roseanne remembered that he had mentioned that the twentieth would mark one month of their marriage. The reminder made Roseanne drop by Time Square as she wanted to check out things she could give him. Of course, this had occurred because Roseanne realized last Friday that it was Park Jimin who always tried to impress her in their marriage.

Roseanne thought it was the right time to reciprocate these actions.

"You are looking for a gift? Why don't you give him a lap dance instead?" J Hope said. Since Roseanne was clueless when it came to gifts, she chose to visit his store and ask for his advice.

She glared at him in response. "I want it to be memorable. Something that will remind him of me."

"You don't need anything to remind him of you!" J Hope rolled his eyes. "What you need is a good strip dance, and I'm sure Escort Park will remember it for a lifetime."

"Pervert! Your brain is really on a different level than us mortals," she said as she sipped her tea. "It seems that my trip here was actually useless. Aiya... I was thinking of investing in that new clothing line... but its seems-" Roseanne dramatically shook her head. "I will just choose the gift on my own and leave now." J Hope placed a box in front of her before she could get up from her seat.

"I was just joking... joking..." He laughed. "How could you dance in front of Escort Park? Wouldn't that daze him for months? That will be very dangerous for his business..." He laughed, avoiding her eyes. Seeing Roseanne watch him, J Hope stopped laughing and gestured for her to open the small rectangular box.

"Hmph! As expected of someone like you. Tell me, Hope, which one do you value the most. Me or money?" she asked, a little amazed at how fast her friend changed at the mention of a little investment.

"What are you talking about? It is only natural for friends to help each other. So, it is natural for you to invest in my brand," he said. Seeing Roseanne not open the velvet box, he leaned down and opened it in her stead, eager to show Roseanne its contents.

"A pen?" Roseanne immediately raised an eyebrow. In front of her was a fountain pen with a solid platinum barrel. It was encrusted with diamonds, making the pen sparkle like stars in the night sky.

"Well, since you are so generous enough to invest in my new brand, I will give you a ten percent discount on this pen." J Hope grinned at Roseanne.

"I want a sixty percent discount," Roseanne said as she slowly picked the pen up and examined it under the light. She knew that talking about money in front of this man would turn him into someone else.

"What? No! How could you be this shameless? Twenty and we're done," J Hope said.

"Fifty-five and I will pay you in cash," Roseanne countered, putting the pen on the case. "I don't even know what kind of pen this is. This can only mean that it is not that valuable or else... why would it be sitting here in your jewelry shop?"
