THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT | SATZU

ACTING CONSPICUOUS

Tzuyu's POV

Here we are...

'Restauranté Grandé'

Been thinking of who is the person that keep sending me those letters. And the suspects that I have been speculating keeps on lowering its chance that one of them really is the culprit behind all of this.

Earlier, I went to the private monitoring room inside house to check the CCTV footage to see who put the paper on the top of my desk, but then when I arrived there, there were couple of men trying to fix the monitors. The operator said that someone must've been shut the system down. I almost broke the door when I discovered that, knowing that I won't be able to know who just barge inside my office. My office is not really locked just for emergency purposes only. You know, when I am at work and I need to make them pick something inside my office.

"Good evening, sir!" As soon as I stepped inside of the restaurant, a hostess greeted me with a smile on her face.

She probably knew who I am.

This restaurant was owned by Ms. Park's chief collaborator officer, Yoo Jeongyeon.

Me and Jihyo known each other for some couple of years already. We often used her models to advertise our clothes and that's how I also met Mr. Yoo, we became close to each other because of this restaurant, but we've been busy this past few months that we haven't talk much to each other much anymore.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Chou Tzu...yu?" A woman in a formal attire asked pronouncing my name Zu-yu. Well, it's not that kind of a big deal for me but I am just used to people calling me Chewy.

"Ah! Yea- yes." Why did she even asked?

"There's a reservation for you in the list, and it's inside the VIP room." The hostess said while pointing on the VIP room.

Seems like this is all planned.

I just nod at her as she assist me to the VIP room.

The inside contains a long table and the design is like a royal dining area. Jeongyeon really has good tastes in designing places like this. It's so well prepared that the foods are already served and covered with a cloche. Candles were lit up and utensils were placed accordingly.

"Are you fine waiting here, sir? Mr. Yoo is going to arrive here soon." My brows automatically furrowed hearing my friend's name.

Jeongyeon? Impossible!

"Sir? Are you alright?" I shook my head erasing my thoughts and smiled at the hostess before saying, "Yeah, I'll just wait him here. I'll be alright." I said trying to hold on my temper.

"Alright sir, just press the button placed on the table if you needed me. I'll be just outside the room." After she said that we bowed to each other and she already left the room leaving me alone in here.

I walk towards the table to sit. Why from all of the people I can think of... Jeongyeon's the one who betrayed me? I can still accept it if it was Dahyun who did that. Dahyun often shows signs that he likes Sana and I really hate it.

Jeongyeon's been a good friend to me and I never done anything wrong to him. I couldn't comprehend why suddenly he turned his back to me- doing something that could ruin my image...

I heard the door opened that made me look at it revealing a man wearing a khaki slacks, white polo long sleeves, and a brown leather shoes. "Oh, you're earlier than I expected." He said that made me stood up from my seat and approach him gripping on his collar while gritting my teeth in anger.

"Give me the other copy of the footage!" I furiously said but he seems calm and just holding both of my wrist.

I saw him suddenly smirk that made me push him on the wall and punch him on the face making him fall to the ground. "I thought you're my friend!" This bastard is a real douchebag!
