Ji Hu settled herself into the tub, letting the hot water ease her muscles. She leaned her head back against the edge of the tub. Ji Hu's eyes were closed, but the only thing she could think about was Do Kyung and his creepy ass smile today. That smile was something out of a horror movie. Ji Hu pinched the bridge of her nose, trying not to freak herself out before bed.

But the thing was, Do Kyung was Seok Min's son.

An evil bastard created an evil bastard spawn.

Ji Hu knew if Seok Min took over as chairman, Do Kyung was in line for the CEO position at Mirae Electronics. He might have taken out his grandmother to make sure that happened, but he wouldn't have known about the will and left everything to Ji Hu, including the chair position.

Ji Hu let her head go under the water. She only stayed under for a few seconds before popping her head out, pushing her hair from her face and breathing heavily. Ji Hu rested her arms on the side of the tub. She wiped her face before resting her cheek against her arms. Her arm fell off the edge, dangling down. Her nails touched the platform that the tub was on.

Ji Hu didn't think it was directly Do Kyung. She didn't think he could have killed Madam Ju, even with that evil smile she saw today. Not that he wasn't capable, but...

Ji Hu stopped for a moment. She lifted her head up, thinking about the fact that the CCTV footage was gone. Someone who knew how to use Madam Ju's security cameras would have done it, which wasn't many. Outside of the security team themselves, the only ones who knew how to control it were Madam Ju, herself, Ms. Shin, Seok Min, and Do Kyung.

It was Seok Min who installed it himself.

It was a new product for the Electronics division.

Ji Hu leaned back, letting herself slide down until her chin touched the line of the water. Ji Hu tapped her fingers against the edges of the tub. Her two main suspects were definitely Seok Min and Do Kyung. But one thing didn't make sense – did they know Madam Ju was planning on giving Ji Hu everything? According to their lawyer, Madam Ju took some time to come to this decision and she wrote letters to Seok Min and Su Ahn basically explaining why they weren't getting anything of hers in the long run, unless Ji Hu handed it over.

Ji Hu suspected that either Madam Ju knew she was going to be murdered soon or something pushed her to make the decision she did.

The question remained: if Seok Min or Do Kyung found out, how did they?

Ji Hu allowed herself to soak in the tub for a little while before cleaning herself off from the day. Ji Hu was in a long shirt, hair dripping while she was in the kitchen. She had just finished making herself a cup of tea for the evening. Ji Hu stupidly forgot that she had gotten married that morning, she wasn't the only one in the apartment right now. And it wasn't until she heard the second bathroom door open, and footsteps headed towards the guest room that she remembered.

Ji Hu nearly choked on her tea when she saw Gu Won. He had a towel on his shoulders, dressed in pajamas, unlike her. Ji Hu like sleeping in baggy shirts, ones that went straight to her knees with nothing underneath. She wasn't modest at all, but right now, she wished she had put on a pair of leggings or something.

She turned, trying not to look at Gu Won.

Gu Won stopped, looking at Ji Hu. When she looked in his direction, he quickly reached to open the door. The words fell out of Ji Hu's mouth before she could stop herself. She asked if he had a nice shower.
