" i will go into the restaurant first, to see exactly what he wants. afterwards, you will enter and tell the waiter that you want to come to my table. got it ? " wendy asked, as jungwoo nodded. the two were in the parking lot, waiting for wendy's former manager to park his car.
" do not worry about anything, wendy. i got this, and i will make sure that he leaves you alone. " jungwoo pat his friend's back, as wendy replied with a small smile. the moment she saw her manager and his bodyguard get out of the car, she let out a sigh.
jungwoo widened his eyes, trying to hold in his laughter. wendy's manager was a very grumpy and weird old man, one that was so short and stupid-looking. it was rather amusing to see that the man thought he could own wendy, when he looked like a gnome.
jungwoo could not be scared of his bodyguard, either. he turned to wendy, who fixed her dress. she waved towards jungwoo, before making her way into the restaurant. as she walked up to the waiter that was talking to the bodyguard, her former manager, mr. watson, turned around.
" ah, you are finally going to come and clear the air, because you have made my life worse ! everyone is asking for you ! " mr. watson began yelling towards wendy, who looked down. she was still scared of her manager, but then quickly remembered jungwoo's words.
" mr. watson, let's get going to our private table. we can not risk a paparazzi taking a photo and assuming things. " his bodyguard said, as wendy looked out the window. she tried to see where jungwoo was, before spotting him infront of the restaurant. " right here. "
wendy sat down on one of the chairs, waiting for mr. watson to sit next to her. she looked down, as she could feel her hand shaking once again. suddently, her old manager threw a briefcase infront of her, making wendy flinch.
" you have been the reason i am going to die since i began to manage you. you are such an attention whore, wendy ! " he yelled, as wendy's eyes widened. " you have gotten me in so much trouble, then made a scene when you were asked to suck off a man. do it, for god's sake ! it will just be one time ! "
wendy could not gather her words. what was he talking about ? why was it so hard to become famous and appreciated, without having to do such things ? she would never agree to doing it, even if she would be promised fame and success for the rest of her life.
mr. watson had no idea who son wendy was. a succesful woman that worked for herself, and that did not accept being taken down by others. she had one wish in life, and it was to be independent. she did not need to be brought into the spotlight by anyone but herself, and she was going to keep it that way.
" no, i will not do it. " wendy quickly replied, without hesitating. a waiter came towards them, pouring wine into their glasses. wendy took hers, before taking a sip from it. " i have no reason to go as low as that. i know my worth, and my reputation. " she said, as mr. watson let out a scoff.
" what reputation do you have ? " he asked, as wendy put her glass down. she smiled towards him, waiting for him to start bringing her down once again. oh, how used she was to his mean words and his useless arguments about needing old men to be powerful. " you would be nothing without us. "
" what do you mean by that ? you kicked me out because i became a threat to the other women, who were losing their respect for themselves by doing everything to become famous. " wendy gritted her teeth, as mr. watson's hands turned into fists. " now, i will tell you one thing. do not challenge me, you have no idea what i am capable of. "
" what are you capable of ? crying and complaining about your life ? " mr. watson let out a laugh, as he turned to his bodyguard. " i want you to call turner and tell him that wendy is coming back and doing as she was told to do. " he said, as his bodyguard nodded.
