The Vicious Wife

Together

When Roseanne arrived at Lotte, Park Jimin was already there. The couple originally wanted to eat outside but Roseanne changed her mind and asked her husband if they could just stay at home. This was mainly because she wanted to rest and think about some things that had been bothering her lately.

"Hot Pot?" Roseanne smiled when she saw Park Jimin arranging some of the ingredients on the table.

"Hmmm... I also made my own version of a dipping sauce," he answered. Park Jimin was wearing a gray Henley shirt that showcased his biceps, paired with beige shorts. Roseanne continued to eye Park Jimin before lifting an eyebrow.

"Are you going to make me another offer to be a stay-at-home husband?" Park Jimin give a low laugh. He shifted his gaze towards Roseanne and gave her a wink before focusing his attention back on the perfectly arranged thinly sliced meat for the Hot Pot.

"Hmmm... My grandma said that having a handsome husband will give women headaches," she said as she took a seat across him.

"I thought I was the best husband out there. When did I ever give you a headache?"

"Fighting against scheming women who like you is such a headache," Roseanne said while eyeing the now simmering broth. She then smiled at the mushrooms near her and used a chopstick to pick one up.

"Go change your clothes first, then we can start eating," he said, making Roseanne pause. She slowly turned her head towards him and gave him a brilliant smile.

"How... strict," Roseanne smirked as she raised an eyebrow at him. "I am already hungry President Park. Can't I eat without changing my clothes?"

In response, Park Jimin stopped what he was doing and approached Roseanne. "Depends," he answered, his stature towering over her.

"On what?" Roseanne asked.

Park Jimin quickly leaned down towards Roseanne's ear and whispered, "On what you want for dinner."

August 02, Tuesday

Roseanne woke up with a small smile on her face. The Hot Pot last night was just what she needed to end her day. Of course, sleeping with an extremely hot husband was another reason, but still, Roseanne would chose to credit the Hot Pot for her impeccable mood today.

"Kang Daniel bought all of the shares last night," Park Jimin said as he placed a cup of coffee in front of Roseanne. He then helped her close the zipper of her knee length red dress.

"His ego was not able to take it. That's expected," Roseanne said. She then took the coffee and smiled at him. "Thank you."

"I also sent you a video of Tian's confession."

"He confessed?"

"Of course," he replied. Roseanne just stared at Park Jimin for a few seconds before she averted her gaze and took a sip of the coffee.

"And?"

"He does not know why Yang Lina wanted to silence Yang Sen, but he remembered her mentioning something about what happened seven years ago."

"Seven years ago? Isn't that..."

"I already had my men investigate everything and so far... we've found nothing except for the hospital personnel that were fired," Park Jimin answered. Seeing Roseanne stare at the cup of coffee without saying anything, he immediately added, "Don't worry too much about it. I will keep looking."

"Jimin... seven years ago, our child..." Roseanne did not continue her words, instead she lifted her head and looked at him. "Yang Lina is quite close to the Madam of the Choi Family who owns the city hospital that I was admitted to. She is also a doctor with lots of connections. I wouldn't be surprised to find that whatever this secret is, it has something to do with me."

"I agree," Park Jimin said as he reached out to touch Roseanne hand. "We are in this together, alright?"

After Roseanne finished her breakfast with Park Jimin she first went to Harmony Isle to visit the newly constructed building before going to her office to continue working.

"President, a man named Yang Jing is insisting on seeing you," Cathy respectfully said. Her words immediately made Roseanne frown. According to her research, Yang Jing should be in the military, so why is he here now?

"Did he mention the purpose of his visit?" she asked after a few seconds of silence.

"No. But he said that it is very important."

"Tell him an important matter is not enough to see me. Ask him for his purpose again. If he still refuses to say it then tell him I don't have the time to see him," she remarked in an offhand manner before continuing to type on her laptop.

After a few minutes, Cathy came back.

"President, he said it has something to do with what happened seven years ago."

Roseanne instantly froze when she heard Cathy's words. She then massaged her temples as she reached out for the recorder in her drawer. "Bring him in and cancel my meetings for the next hour."

"Got it, President." Cathy made a low bow before she walked out of Roseanne's office, her normally stern face slowly turning into a scowl. For some reason, her gut was telling her that Yang Jing's purpose in coming here had something to do with the death of her best friend, Iris Anne, seven years ago.
