THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT | SATZU

PRESENT SCENE 22: [TZUYU]

I am currently in my office waiting for the papers I asked for. 3 weeks have passed and everything went back to normal, well except for me and Sana. For the past 3 weeks, I've been a slave to her. Sana black mailed me that she's going to spread what I did to her if I didn't do what she asked me to do. That deal was sealed after I convinced her to trust me with my plans.

I am just glad that she's not that grumpy to me anymore. Like I can talk to her properly like we're close friends. But you know it's not like that always. Women often change their moods.

It's not a bad thing though I can do my own plan in return. Sometimes, I was not able to have my free time because Sana will call and ask me for something. She's really annoying you know.

Our special event is in two days. Sana is doing her job really well with the venue's design. I just hope that everything will go smoothly as planned.

"Mr. Chou, here are the papers that you've asked for." My thoughts was cut by my secretary who just entered my office. I don't know what's happening but this past few days, Nayeon's been acting too close to me. It's not that it's a new thing for me but I don't know— she's acting differently recently.

I browse the paper she gave me. This will be needed for our event. Our collaborators are going to be there. The clothes that the models are going to present should be performed well so it won't be embarrassing for the whole company.

"Mr. Chou, do you perhaps like Ms. Sana romantically?" I lifted my head and looked at Nayeon who's at my left side leaning on my desk.

My brows furrowed upon hearing her question. Why is she asking me that?

"Why are you suddenly so invested in us Ms. Im?" I curiously asked and put the papers down at my table as I faced her.

"Nothing, I just noticed that you're often making time for her— which is not really your thing." She said as she roams her slender hands on my arm up to my shoulders.

What is she trying to do?

"What are you doing?" I asked ready to yank her hands off mine but then she moved it away and spinned my swivel chair facing her. She then locked me by putting both of her hands on the arm of the chair.

"I know you're not that stupid to not notice my behavior Mr. Chou." I just stare at her observing her move.

She started to roam again her fingertip unto my lips. "I can do better than her, Mr. Chou. I know I am better than her." Nayeon said in a lewd way. I am looking into her eyes, and I can see the lust in her eyes. I remained still and just look at her face.

Suddenly, Nayeon opened two buttons of her white button up blouse revealing her cleavage.

She's trying to seduce me ain't she?

"Tzuyu! Sana is—" I was startled when I suddenly heard my office door clicked and Chaeyoung's voice, so I pushed Nayeon as I stood up fixing myself. "—here... Oh hoho! Seems like you guys are having fun huh?" Chaeyoung teased and I looked at Sana who's at his back with no reaction at all.

I looked at Nayeon who's just beside me trying to button her shirt up. "What are you talking about? We're not doing anything!" I defend. But Chaeyoung being the mischief friend, he didn't let that pass and teased us nonstop. "Cut it right there Chae. Why are you guys here?" I asked.

Both of them walk towards my table and sit on the chair just in front of my office desk.

"Well, Sana wanted to give you something." Chaeyoung said and looked at Sana while smiling. "Right Sana?" She said while moving his brows up and down.

I looked at Sana's hand and she's holding a container. When she noticed that I was looking at it she said, "Uhh... Y-yeah. Here's a food for y—"

"She made i—" Chaeyoung cut her but didn't finished what he's about to say when Sana spoke again loudly.

"My mom made it for you. She told me to give this to you for lunch." She said and glared to Chaeyoung. Hmm... So she made this for me huh?

I smirked and get the container in her hands. "What is this?" I asked.

"That's kimbap. Mom heard that that's your favorite food." Sana said. My smirk didn't fade, she really take that mom thingy as her reason huh?

"Kimbap is better with Tteok-bokki. I can share my lunch with you Mr. Chou. You like Tteok-bokki too right?" Nayeon who's at my side said.

I saw Sana squint her eyes on Nayeon. I don't really want to assume things, but are they kind of... You know... Rivals? First, Nayeon told me earlier that she's better than Sana. And now, Sana is here bringing me food which is very odd of her.

"Yeah, Tteok-bokki and kimbap is a good combo. But I am going to eat my lunch in the mausoleum. I'm going to pay some visit to Elkie." I said.

I saw Nayeon smirked as if she won something.

"Who's Elkie?" Sana curiously asked.

I just smiled at her and shrugged my shoulders as I sat down on my seat. I promise Elkie to visit her more often so I'm putting this vacant time for her.

"She's Mr. Chou's ex fiancé FYI. She died three years ago." Nayeon answered Sana's question.

"Okay, before this topic went somewhere else I just wanna thank you Ms. Minatozaki for your MOM's kimbap." I said while emphasizing the word 'mom'.

Chaeyoung laughed at me as she pats Sana's back. "Go back to your work now folks! We need to work hard for the upcoming event in two days." I said and they all agreed.

Chaeyoung and Sana was about to go out of my office but before they do I called Sana.

She look back at me and asked "Why?".

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked and I stood up from my seat and walk towards her.

Chaeyoung went out of the office and Nayeon remained beside my table.

I put my hands on my pocket and leaned closer to her so she can hear my whisper clear. "Wait for me before you go home. I'll drive you home, okay?" I said. That is one of our deal. She told me to drive her home everyday because her dad confiscated everything especially her cards. Last time I bought her new phone, because you know what happened.

I just reminded her that. I don't want her to think that I'll be staying in my ex fiancé's mausoleum for too long that I cannot driver her home.

"I already know that, silly!" She whispered shout and hit my chest. I faked an "ow!" Reaction but she just walk past me leaving my office.

That girl is really something.
