We don't talk anymore

Chapter 3

MC went to C&R to see Jumin a few more times after their restaurant date. He was usually very busy, and their meetings consisted of quick greetings and a few kisses before she would wish him good luck with his work and leave. They kept talking on the phone and messaging each other as usual. He did warn her that his schedule would be tighter than usual, but MC wasn't worried. She trusted him completely and was as patient as possible. Although, whenever Jumin gave her one of those wonderful deep kisses only he was capable of, a tempting voice inside her mind kept reminding her of their bodies entangled on top of his desk. MC never voiced those desires in front of Jumin because she didn't want to seem impatient. She, of course, wasn't the only one who felt this way. Jumin was faced with those same desires, and their short meetings only left him desiring more. But he had made a decision to be a better gentleman this time and wait until they had a proper first date. He was spacing out a lot the last few days, and Jaehee had to constantly check if he was actually listening to her or not. She was smart enough to know the reason behind his condition, but if she had to be completely honest with herself, she didn't really mind the change in him. On the contrary, she was excited that her boss had finally found someone special. MC was indeed very special, and Jaehee could also see that in the RFA chats. Everyone seemed to adore her, and she did her very best as the new party coordinator. Everyone was happy—a rare occasion that wasn't going to last for long.

"Did you find out anything new?"

"Yes, he started seeing this girl only recently. Nothing special happened; she went to visit him in his office a couple of times, and they had lunch once. I don't think we have anything to worry about."

"Don't be so naïve. Sometimes even one date is more than enough. Not to mention this is Jumin Han we are talking about. The only attention he pays to women is when he is about to close a deal with them. We need to act fast!"

"What can we do?"

"For starters, you should pay him a visit in his penthouse. I already spoke with his father about it, so you can use that as your reason."

"But what if he refuses to see me?"

"Well, you will just have to figure something out on your own. Try to be more resourceful. I can't decide everything for you!"

"O-of course, I'll see what I can think of."

"Good girl. Now, run along, and make sure to bring back good news."

"Who did you say is looking for me?" Jumin wasn't sure why someone he didn't know would visit him so late at night.

"A woman by the name of Sarah Choi, Mr. Han. She told me your father is aware of her visit. Should I let her in?"

"S...arah Choi?" Jumin kept searching through his mind for a hint as to who that might be, but he couldn't remember ever hearing her name. He let out a deep, irritated sigh. The combination of his father and an unknown woman was never good news. Whatever the whole deal was, if he sent her away now, his father would probably insist on their eventual meeting, and Jumin didn't favor that idea even a bit. "Alright, tell her to come in." Jumin made his way back to the sofa, where Elizabeth the 3rd was waiting for his company.

A moment later, Sarah walked in and announced her presence. "Hey there, Jumin!" She squealed in a loud and annoying tone, which Jumin instantly hated.

'Hey there? Didn't anyone teach this woman basic etiquette?' Jumin thought to himself, with displeasure written all over his face. He studied her for a second before his gaze went back to Elizabeth the 3rd, who was positioning herself in his lap. "I don't believe we've met." A simple statement with no eye contact from Jumin's side was followed by a sip from his glass of wine.

"Ah, but I know your father. You see, I happen to be Glam Choi's sister." Jumin struggled not to make a grimace upon hearing the mention of his father's new woman. "Your father and my sister are in a very serious relationship. Don't you think that basically makes you and me family?" Jumin nearly choked on his drink.

"Don't be ridiculous." He answered bluntly. "My father's relationships have nothing to do with me, and I have no interest in a woman like you." Jumin said the last words with obvious disgust in his voice, which made Sarah shiver in anger, but she did her best not to let it show. At that moment, Jumin's phone started ringing. MC was calling him, and the smile on his face didn't go unnoticed by Sarah.

'It's that annoying girl, huh?' Sarah thought to herself. Jumin gladly excused himself to speak to MC in the kitchen. Sarah huffed, and in her anger, she pushed Elizabeth the 3rd off of the sofa and sat down in her place. She hissed at Sarah and left the room in search of Jumin. "Even his damn cat has a horrible attitude. But don't you worry, Jumin; things will change pretty quickly, and I will make sure of that." A sinister grin formed on her lips. She dug into her handbag in search of a small package. Upon finding it, she poured the contents into Jumin's glass of wine. "Time to have a little fun." She poured another glass of wine, positioned herself comfortably on the sofa, and awaited Jumin's return. When he came back from the kitchen, Sarah sent him a flirty smile and stood up to hand him his glass of wine. "I hope you don't mind. I was hoping to at least join you until you finish your drink."

Jumin took the glass from her hand with obvious annoyance and gulped down its contents in less than a second. "As you can see, I am already done. When you're finished with your own drink, call someone from security to accompany you outside. It's not acceptable for a woman to be in a man's house at this hour, especially one she is NOT acquainted with." Jumin emphasized the last part, which made Sarah's insides burn from anger. "Now, excuse me, I have work early in the morning." Jumin made his way to the bedroom, but the strength suddenly left his body. He felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor.

"Hahaha, my, my, Jumin, what a pitiful state you're in." Sarah moved next to him. "Don't you worry, I will take good care of you, and have a little fun while I'm at it." She picked him off the floor and moved him to his bed. She kicked Elizabeth the 3rd away when she tried to reconcile with her owner. "Go away, you annoying fur ball!" Sarah closed the door and turned her attention back to Jumin. "Now, let's see what the great Jumin Han is all about." She made quick work of his clothes and underwear and almost whistled in amazement. "Would you look at that? Definitely exceeded my expectations." She licked her lips, a hungry look in her eyes, but quickly reminded herself of what she was here for. She took her phone out of her handbag and placed it on the bedside table. She undressed completely, climbed on top of Jumin, and positioned herself. "I wasn't going to make the photos this graphic, but you were extremely rude to me, Jumin." Sarah snapped the first photo, which with the right angle showed her riding on top of Jumin, whose sleeping face she was careful not to capture. A lot of naughty thoughts passed through her mind, but Sarah dismissed them and concentrated on the task at hand. She pulled the covers on top of Jumin and snuggled next to him, where she took another photo of her smiling and Jumin sleeping next to her. She let out a satisfied chuckle, got up to put her clothes back on, dressed Jumin so he wouldn't suspect anything in the morning, and left the bedroom in search of his phone. When the door was finally open, Elizabeth the 3rd quickly went into the bedroom, climbed on the bed, and snuggled next to her owner, letting out a quiet, dissatisfied meow. When Sarah finally found Jumin's phone, she checked his call history and wrote down the number in her own phone. She then sent the photos she just took to the unsuspecting MC with a brief message that said: 'If I were you, I wouldn't cling to a man when he's engaged to another woman. Walk away, while you still have your dignity.' Sarah then took the sim card out of Jumin's phone, broke it in half, and put it in her pocket. She made sure she didn't leave anything behind and left the penthouse, not even bothering to pay attention to the bodyguards on her way out. She called her sister and announced the success of their plan.

"Wh...at... What...is this?" MC could only stare at the photos in disbelief. "

She couldn't sleep that night, rolling around in her bed, her head flooding with all kinds of thoughts. At one point, she gave up altogether on trying to sleep.

"This won't do. I need to speak with Jumn tomorrow."
