He is The Boss || Markrong

Chapter 20 || He is the Boss

Chorong

I cleared my throat as the car started moving again.What a great timing.Probably, everyone will jump into conclusions at this point. Did they thought that I slept with him? The possibility of that would be none, Why am I even thinking about it? I smiled at everyone."I am so sorry. Business." I said, showing my phone.

When we reached the destination, I slowly shook Hayoung to wake her up. She yawned while stretching her arms,"Did something happen while I was sleeping?"Hayoung asked. Surely, it's not good to mention it. We all went out from the van and followed Hayoung.

The commercial was about shampoo, Hayoung does have a great hair. I carefully focused myself as I do her make up. Her phone suddenly started ringing, she answered."Oh, Mark." I felt a little curious as to why she called her. Hayoung looked at me and then smiled.

"You are inviting us?"

"Okay, I'll take Chorong with me."

"We will meet you there."

Now I am really curious, why was my name mentioned? I couldn't hear Mark's voice.I tried to act natural while continuing what I was doing. Hayoung locker her phone before placing it on the table before her,"Are you free, tonight?" She asked me, still with a smile.

"Yes, why?" I replied. She told me that we are going to have a dinner with that guy - I mean, Mark. Did he knew that was going to happen at the car? With my hands shaking with anger, I accidentally overdid Hayoung's lipstick. I gasped."I am so sorry!" I apologized to her. Hayoung just laughed at me as I try to fix the mistake I did. 

Hayoung admired herself in the mirror and then looked at me through the mirror."You heard us, right?" She asked me. I knew exactly what she meant. Hyunjin.I nodded."Was it not the right thing to do?"

"Hayoung-a, let's start!"

The shooting took a while. Watching Hayoung, I suddenly thought of calling my mom. I went outside the room as I dialed my mother's number."Where have you been, Park Chorong?!" I could hear her yelling from the other side."Don't you dare make excuses, missy! I want you to go home, right away! I don't want later, I want it now."

"I am still at work, eomma." I said, leaning my back to the wall. She didn't reply for a while then started asking me how I got a job and ect. As I explained to her what happened, mom calmed down in the process."So, that's what happened. Aren't I lucky, eomma?"

The door beside me opened, revealing one of the staffs."Excuse me, Ms. Oh needs you inside." She said then closed the door. I told my eomma that I'll be going back to work, before ending the call. Hayoung was holding a pink dress as I approached her. I knew exactly why she wanted me to use it. I was forced to put it on for the dinner with my former boss."You look great." Hayoung complimented me.

Hayoung had her arm linked with mine as she dragged me in a restaurant which foods sold looks pretty expensive. She waves her hand at the person who I believe is Mark Tuan, she let me sit across Mark then sat beside me."Why are you suddenly inviting us to dinner?" Hayoung asked him with her chin rested on her palm.

"No reason." He said, raising his hand to call for a waiter. A waiter came with menus in his hand then gave it to us, individually. I was about to grab the menu,"Don't give her one, she is not going to order. I'll pick for her." Mark said, still his eyes on the menu. 

My eyes widened as the menu left my hands."Why can't I order my own food?" I asked him. He didn't respond so I glanced at Hayoung, who just smiled at me. I scoffed as I grabbed Mark's menu and then smiled at him."I want this one." I told the waiter, pointing at the first thing I saw.
