HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 226: Mortal Enemy's Invitation (2)

Kim Han-Gyo’s invitation. Kang Ra-Eun had never thought that what she had said jokingly to Team Leader So Ha-Jin would actually come true.

Director Joo Seong-Won asked with a flushed face as he watched Ra-Eun in confusion.

“Huh? You didn’t know about it, Ra-Eun?”

“Of course not. Does he want to meet me alone?”

“From what I’d heard... What was it again? To be more specific, I believe he said that he wanted to invite talents affiliated with GNF and ask about the direction of the entertainment industry, or something like that... It’s a bit blurry.”

Direction of the entertainment industry... It certainly was a good reason, but Ra-Eun knew better than anyone that it was just an excuse.

‘He obviously planned something like this because of me.’

It was obvious that Han-Gyo was suspecting that Ra-Eun was the masked woman and that she was gathering people to go up in arms against him. Han-Gyo was a very perceptive man; there was no way he hadn’t realized that Ra-Eun was connected deeper to this matter than meets the eye.

‘An invitation from my mortal enemy...’

Ra-Eun wondered whether she should accept the invitation or not.

Ra-Eun and Shin Yu-Bin headed to GNF to meet Chief Jung on Friday. Like she had expected...

“Congressman Kim Han-Gyo contacted us, saying that he wants to invite our talents. That’s why I’m planning on asking who wants to go and then let his team know.”

Chief Jung mentioned exactly what Director Joo had said two nights ago. Ra-Eun was not surprised because she had already been spoiled regarding the contents of their current conversation. She had been thinking about what to do about this invitation ever since hearing about it from the director. And finally, she had come to a decision.

“What do you want to do, Ra-Eun?” Chief Jung asked.

Ra-Eun answered immediately as if she had been waiting for it, “I’ll participate for sure.”

Running away was not her style. If the opponent drew their sword, it was common courtesy for one to draw their sword as well, at least according to Ra-Eun.

Ra-Eun had declared that she would meet Han-Gyo, but her associates thought otherwise.

“I personally think you should’ve refused the invitation,” Ma Yeong-Jun remarked.

Park Seol-Hun, So Ha-Jin, and Director Do Hye-Yeong looked at Yeong-Jun. Ra-Eun asked him why he thought that way, but the reason was fairly obvious.

“He already suspects you, so I don’t think it’s necessary for you to go and raise even more suspicion.”

Yeong-Jun was not wrong; it might be a better idea to stay hidden in situations like this. However, Ra-Eun did not agree.

“He already suspects me, so his suspicions won’t disappear as long as I keep hiding from him. Rather, it might raise his suspicions even more.”

It might cause Han-Gyo to think that Ra-Eun was avoiding him because she had something to hide. Either choice had its risks.

“Now that it’s come to this, I’ll just have to do things my way.”

Hence, she had decided to gladly accept her mortal enemy’s invitation. Even so, Yeong-Jun could not agree with her choice.

Meanwhile, Seol-Hun asked while he was listening to their conversation, “But why do you hate Congressman Kim Han-Gyo so much?”
