The Vicious Wife

An incompetent wife

Aug, 05, Friday

Roseanne smiled softly as she looked at the canvas in front of her.

It was an oil painting of Roseanne in a hanbok with a small smile on her face. Her beautiful and radiant face perfectly contrasted with the white, pink and blue colors of the hanbok. The background of the painting featured Chinese bamboo. It reminded Roseanne of the bamboo at the temple in Fussa, Japan that they'd visited months ago.

The painting is a gift from Park Jimin. He had his men deliver it to Roseanne's office just this morning. Roseanne ran her fingers over the painting as she nodded in appreciation. He is indeed talented she thought while staring at the hanbok's white, pink and blue interweaving colors that were in perfect harmony with each other.

Roseanne instantly wondered when he found the time to paint this as both of them were so busy with work lately. Was it possible that she just failed to notice him working? Instantly guilt flashed in Roseanne's eyes. She had been scheming and thinking about herself all this time and she didn't even know if he had a special room for his paintings in Lotte.

While she is aware that he has many paintings of her, she never even bothered to ask him about it. Now that she thought about it, Roseanne realized that she doesn't really know a lot about him. She bit her lip before letting out a loud sigh. She is such an incompetent wife ah.

She shook her head in irritation. She had been taking from Park Jimin. She had been pampered and treated like a queen and she did not even think about giving back. Roseanne had always believed that a relationship should be equalbut it was obvious that she was failing to do her part in this relationship.. Her selfishness was engraved into her bones so deeply that it was truly hard for her to just remove these habits from her system.

"Lia?"

"President," Lia respectfully said.

"When will VP Gloss arrive?"

"Monday at 1300 our time," Lia answered.

"Alright," Roseanne nodded. Vice President Timothy Gloss had been working with the Anne Group for more than twenty years now. He had been Vice President of the company before Roseanne took over and now his role was Vice President of Operations for all of their subsidiaries in South America.

The Subsidiaries in South America were fairly new so Roseanne took advantage of his skills and asked him to personally take charge and manage these companies for three months. Roseanne was sure that the profits of these companies would double after a quarter, and she was right.

Now that VP Gloss had accomplished his goal, he will join them in Seoul. Roseanne also thought that this would be the perfect timing as having him here would allow her to spend more time adjusting to married life. After all, they'd really had no time together since they got married and she was also hopeful that they could spend time together to try for a baby.

The other night, Park Jimin mentioned visiting Japan for his adoptive mother's death anniversary and using this opportunity to get tested in Japan as well. This made Roseanne a little excited and nervous at the same time. While she was hoping that they would get good results, she was also a little afraid that she would only be disappointed. Of course, Park Jimin knew this and he immediately assured her that everything would be fine.

"What is my schedule for today?" she asked after a few minutes of staring at the painting.

"The market research for the new Harmony Isle in Seoul and Singapore was already submitted and is waiting on your table. You have a meeting with Mr. An later for that project in South Korea that's budgeted at a billion. This meeting is about his bid as he wanted to get your approval first."

"What time is this meeting?" Roseanne asked.

"1500 our time," Lia answered.

"Good. Let's go and shop," Roseanne said. Unlike Park Jimin, her talents were lacking. She doesn't know how to draw or paint or play the piano. She also doesn't know how to cook a good meal or give a very good massage.

Now that Roseanne thought about it, she felt a little depressed. She doesn't have the time to learn all these things. Moreover, she is a little too old to learn. She doesn't want to embarrass herself by going into classes at this age.

Roseanne could only think of one thing that she was good at and that was making money. She knew that her money making skills are on par, if not even above Park Jimin's skills, and she was planning to use this to give him something.

However, she fell into another dilemma. Park Jimin already had everything. What else could she give him? For some reason, J Hope's voice suddenly echoed inside her mind.

'Why don't you give him a lap dance instead?'

Roseanne slowly swallowed her nonexistent saliva as she thought about her friends suggestion. A lap dance?

'What you need is a good strip dance.'

Unknowingly, Roseanne's face turned scarlet as she continued to think about it. A strip dance? Roseanne furrowed her brows in annoyance. She is actually considering J Hope's suggestion, ah! How could she think about this in the middle of the day?

Roseanne walked towards her table and grabbed her hand bag. Her lips then slowly curled into a smile which for some reason made Lia shiver. She had been standing so close to Roseanne that she was able to see her expression changing. It instantly made her wonder if Roseanne had been scheming again. However, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and was replaced by her usual calm demeanor.

This immediately made Lia wonder if she was just hallucinating. She decided to shake off these thoughts and follow Roseanne outside to shop.

Since Harmony Isle was still under construction, Roseanne decided to go to another high end mall in the northern part of Seoul. This one was called Fair Pagoda Mall. With its Pagoda like structure, this mall was known for having all imported products from Europe and the US.

This is also the reason why this mall was frequented by most socialites and people from South Korea.

After sitting in the car for almost an hour, the first thing that Roseanne did in the mall was to check out every store. Her goal today was actually to buy some imported lingerie, however, she also decided to check out men's clothing to see if something would look good on Park Jimin.

"Aw!" Roseanne almost dropped all of the bags that she was carrying when someone suddenly bumped into her.

Roseanne furrowed her brows as she lifted her head to look at the man with a grumpy expression who was towering over her.

"You've ruined a very expensive keyboard!" the man said coldly. "Tell me how are you going to compensate me for something that was custom made abroad?"

Roseanne examined the man in front of her. "How much is it?" Roseanne asked, her face cold. She could not understand why this man was acting as if he wanted to murder someone just because of a keyboard. Wasn't this too childish?

"Woman, I am in a competition tomorrow and this keyboard was made abroad. There is no way that I could buy another one for my competition," the man answered, his face still dark as he stared intently at Roseanne.

"Tell me the model, price and manufacturer, I will have it delivered to your doorstep tomorrow," Roseanne answered. "You were the one who bumped into a small lady like me and yet you have the audacity to ask for compensation. Not that it matters, but I can buy you ten of those keyboards a week." Seeing a flash of shock on the man's face, Roseanne continued, "Take it as my condolences for you being so childish at this age."
