"What is this bullshit?" Jake asked with a strained voice, I can feel he's surprassing himself from yelling.
"Just sit down first then we'll talk more." His father said with a monotone voice.
Jake rub his hair aggressively before he walks to the seat in front of me. I avoid his gaze but I can feel he's staring at me.
"Begin." His father ordered.
Woojae stands up to explain everything. "The son of Kim company is involved on a scandal where he hits the red light and killed a pregnant woman and her child."
Except for Jake, everyone gasped, including me. The son of Kim company, Kim Daehyun?
"That's why the ceo of Kim company, Kim Seokhan, asked our favor to cover up the scandal from leaking out. In order to cover up this scandal, we need something more sensational. Then we figured that you, Jake Sim-ssi, is an excellent candidate for this. You're the most popular ceo son in South Korea. Something sensational coming from you would give a big impact and pull the public's interest."
Jake scoffed, can't believe what he heard. Honestly, I also can't believe that they'd used him, the ceo's son, to cover up the scandal.
"We paid someone to follow you around, to capture anything that'll give a shock wave news. And luckily, you, Heo Yeonwoo-ssi, are at the scene just at the prefect time."
Everyone is looking at me, including Jake. Well, Jake is more to glaring at me but I avoid everyone's eyes and stares at my lap. I can feel my heart picking its pace again.
"If it's not because of you, then we'd set everything up. Hiring someone to seduce Jake Sim-ssi and use that photo to starts a rumor about him. So, thank you so much Heo Yeonwoo-ssi."
I am not pleased with that gratitude, Woojae-ssi.
"Why? Why do you want to help them cover the scandal so much?" Jake starts to explode. His strained voice sends me a shiver under my spine.
"You should know better, Jake Sim-ssi. Kim company is our most important partner. They even gives us the biggest share in their company as a reward to help them. Isn't it's a good thing, Jake Sim-ssi?" Woojae smiled innocently at Jake, making his body tremble in anger, his jaw clenched.
"Heo Yeonwoo-ssi also got a positive impact from this rumor, right? I heard that you've got a lot of drama offer after they heard the news that you're dating Jake Sim-ssi." I widen my eyes as I turn my head to Lee Byuncheol.
He smiled at me apologetically. "Sorry, Yeonwoo. You've been in this industry for six years but still didn't get any recognition. This is a chance for you."
No. This is not how I want to be a successful actress. I want to achieved it with my own hard work, not through a stupid dating rumor!
"See? Win-win situation. But this is just the beginning. Since the dating rumor didn't do much, we're going to make something bigger from this rumor."
