When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 42 Call Out for Lust

She looked at the clock, covered her head with the quilt, checked the time again, and fell into endless distress.

Sometimes she wanted to confirm Baek Sa-eon's indulgence again, and sometimes she hoped to never know the truth.

"Um..."

Hee-joo bit her nails and made a painful sound.

Her mind was in a mess because of the alternating emotions of cold and warm. But...

Beep, beep.

Her curiosity about Baek Sa-eon, her fear as a wife, and the boiling denial of reality intertwined, and finally made her pick up the phone.

Beep, beep.

Her heartbeat was more intense than usual.

'It would be better if he didn't answer the phone...' 

At this time, the phone ringing suddenly stopped. 

"......!"

The moment the call was connected, her mouth was instantly dry. 

'Am I... shaking?'

Hee-joo held her breath.

—Why call again?

The other party's voice was sharp, as if he was asking.

She was so scared that she couldn't say a word.

Although Hee-joo was relieved because she didn't hear the sound of water, she frowned at the other party's contemptuous tone.

—What do you want to see from me today? Do you want me to have some of your stuff? 

His dissatisfaction can be felt from his cold and slow tone.

Hee-joo's eyes flickered at that moment.

"If I open my mouth, your political career will be over."

—…

The other party suddenly became quiet, as if observing the situation. 

No, it should be tougher and more vulgar.

Talk like a real threat.

'Since you have decided to be a rebellious divorced woman, why are you still a rookie here?'

Back to the role of threat 406. Threats also have self-esteem...! 

Her stubbornness is almost equivalent to a stubborn denial of reality.

Impossible, how could Baek Sa-eon do that...

"I say, you bastard! Didn't I ask you to meet my requirements from the beginning?!"

—Ah, is this how you want to play?

"Even if the matter is exposed, do you really not care? Even if everyone will point fingers?"

—Since you are going to do it, then make some more exciting requests.

Baek Sa-eon also responded to Hee-joo's one-sided dialogue in the same way.

Because this man never loses his rhythm, Hee-joo is getting more anxious.

"Didn't I tell you to get back to the way it was before the call got so bad?!"

Hee-joo bit her lower lip and clenched her teeth.

"Do you really want to smear shit on your face? Can a guy who is obsessed with power bear it?"

A deliberately sharp tongue.

The condensed anger spread out.

Then, the click of the lighter sounded, followed by the sound of the cigarette burning.
