The stepmother

Tension

The blonde cracked up and Yongsun felt like punching the older woman's face.

__ What????

__ You should have seen your face... Hilarious.

Showing no signs of enjoying the situation, the brunette said:

__ I don't get it...

The blonde declared:

__ I am 200% disgusted by your boyfriend. I find him repulsive. And I never cheated on my husband.

__ But... why do you treat Kun-woo that way, then?

The stepmother crossed the door to leave:

__ For many reasons. Private ones. I'll tell you one thing though: He is not a man for you.

__ And do you expect me to believe you just like that?

The taller one turned her back and faced the girl:

__ I am just giving you honest advice. You do whatever you want, Yongsun-ah. But please... wise up. Some signs are right under your eyes.

Once the blonde went to the second floor, the younger girl sat on a stool with frustration in her eyes.

The trio didn't get reunited for the rest of the day anymore.

Tired of that house and the weird vibe going on, the receptionist collected her things and went back home in the end of the day despite the boyfriend's protests.

On Monday, Yongsun worked in a bad mood, and she wasn't able to focus.

Just thinking about meeting the blonde the following day was making her uneasy and excited all together.

The 21-year-old girl had a horrible night of sleep and she had to wake up earlier to put on a lot of makeup under her eyes.

At 8:00 am sharp, the brunette was standing in front of Moonbyul's secretary and the girl informed the businesswoman about Yongsun's arrival.

After waiting for around 10 minutes, the receptionist was told to get inside the president's office.

A bit intimidated, the dark-haired girl entered the room with some hesitation and stood there in the middle of the place, waiting that the blonde noticed her presence.

Moonbyul spoke without taking her eyes off the documents she was signing:

__ Have a seat, Ms. Kim. I'll talk to you in a minute.

__Thank you.__ The brunette murmured.

Finally, the blonde finished what she was doing and directed her attention to the younger one.

__ Alright, Ms. Kim. Tell me about your professional background.

Gulping, the dark-haired girl responded with a concerned expression:

__ I'm afraid it's not much. I've been working as a receptionist in a smaller company for around 8 months.

Nodding her head, Kun-woo's stepmother asked:

__ How about your educational background? As you are so young, I assume you don't have a degree.

Yongsun was embarrassed:

__ Yes, unfortunately, I lack many things.

__ Don't underestimate yourself, Ms. Kim. Many people are terrible employees despite having lots of experience and degrees. By any chance, do you speak any foreign language?

The brunette explained:

__ Yes, ma'am. I speak English, Mandarin, and Spanish.

__ That's quite useful. Well, I don't need a receptionist but I think you could be my assistant. Obviously, I need to have you trained and you will go through a month as a tryout. What do you say?
