The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 229: "I Don't Want To Be Your Friend"

Meanwhile, Rosé's days had been nothing but long and uneventful. She spent most of her time making sure her patient was following the doctor's orders and taking his medications on time, while working hard to revise everything she needed to cover for her studies.

When she returned to the Kim Estate that night, she hadn't expected to see Dong Hee out on the porch, mulling about something. He stopped and turned to look at her when he heard her footsteps. He gave her a curt nod and gestured for Rosé to join him.

"Must be nice to go out and have fun once in a while." He commented, pouring her a cup of the tea he was steeping before Rosé arrived.

"You haven't gone out for a while. You should also take a break." Rosé replied, after giving him a quick thanks.

"I know I should, but I can't afford to slow down right now, not when my brother needs help." Dong Jee sighed, but Rosé could see that he was under stress these days, just like his older brother.

Ever since her small talk with Jisoo that day at the beach, she never had another conversation with him. Rosé had tried her best to avoid him and was doing a great job at it.

"You should also tell that to my brother. I haven't seen him take a break since he got back. Not here, not at the company." Dong Hee eyed her as he took a sip from his cup. "Did you two have an argument? You are avoiding him."

Surprised by that, Rosé was thankful she wasn't drinking the tea as she might have spat it out. Instead, she merely raised a slender brow at the younger Kim brother.

"I am? Since when did you care about your brother anyway?"

Dong Hee laughed at that. He really couldn't blame Rosé for questioning him like this.

"I don't. I'm just curious as to why he's been unusually cranky these past few weeks and then I noticed that you are rarely around whenever he's home. So I figured it must be related to you."

Rosé shook her head and averted her gaze, choosing to look at the blooming garden that Dong Hee's mother diligently tended. She would be lying if she said she didn't find Jisoo attractive, but she would rather not have anything to do with him. She also didn't believe Dong Hee's claim that Jisoo was on edge because of her.

"We have nothing to do with each other."

"Uh-huh, I sure do believe you, Miss Park." Dong Hee said with a teasing smile.

"I'm not forcing you to believe me." She shrugged.

Rosé ignored his teasing and excused herself. She went to her room and closed the door behind her with a soft sigh. Now that Chairman Kim was doing better and was recovering well, she could ask to terminate her contract at any time.

It would save her from a lot of stress and worries if she ended her contract early. The payment she received from the Kim family was enough to support her for a few months once she entered med school.

However, would it be the best course of action to take from this point?

Rosé shook her head and shed her coat, putting it on the rack and decided to resume her studies. She wouldn't have gone out today if she hadn't received a call from Jennie, asking her to join the rest of their friends who were meeting up that afternoon.

She spent another hour catching up with her studies until her body clock reminded her that it was time to retire for the night. She stood up and took a quick shower, dressed in her pajamas.

Taking a glance at the clock on her nightstand, Rosé thought that most people would be asleep by this time. She went down the stairs and straight to the kitchen to refill her water bottle, but she didn't expect that there would be another person awake at this time of the night.
