What's Wrong With Assistant Kang?

32. Beautiful

Things weren't really the same. At all.

The fact that all her efforts seemed to be in vain didn't do anything but pertub the young pop star. Just how?

How was it possible that a man had actually rejected her...? And for such an average-looking simpleton like that assistant woman...

How?!

She just couldn't fathom it in the most profound depths of her pretty, little head.

She was going to admit it: at first, she only went after Jumin Han for the ultimate chances of adquiring all the money under his hand (which was quite a pocketful) and the immense amount of fame and attention she would receive. He was also really handsome and successful as a plus; it was all someone could ever ask for.

So why, why was it that her life couldn't go the way she wanted?!

She had been sure she could get anyone she wanted, everyone around her told her so. But she was starting to doubt herself due to all this complicated crap going on with the CEO-in-line.

"Kyungju, dear, you're looking quite gloomy today," her father remarked, half-caring for an answer and half-unable-to-care-less as he concentrated on his golf game.

"Don't call me Kyungju, daddy..." She muttered with a deep sigh, annoyed. "It's Echo Girl."

"Oh, forgive me, Echo Girl." He struck the ball with his golf club, and it fell right through the hole, causing him to grin widely in satisfaction. "I was just asking about the wellbeing of my daughter, is that so wrong?" he continued, now looking at her with the same content smile as she scowled right at his face.

"You're playing golf by yourself?" she asked instead, avoiding the question.

"Ah, no, no." He shook his head, exhaling a bit at his daughter as if such a thing was a dumb question. "I'm actually practicing before Mr. Han arrives." He settled the little white ball in front of his feet again.

Echo Girl almost jumped out of her seat. "M-Mr. Han?!" She ran towards him, hitting him in the back. "Daddy! Why did you invite scum like him here?! Why are you gonna play golf with him?!"

Her father seemed confused. "Oh...? Oh!" He realized, blinking. "I believe you're thinking of the young Mr. Han right now... I'm talking about his father." He cleared up (as if that would be any better) and closed one eye in concentration before hitting the ball again.

"What difference does that make?!" Echo Girl yelled at the top of her lungs. "I thought you were blackmailing him!"

"I am. I am, sweetie." He said carelessly, glad again when he saw the ball fell straight on the hole again. "And since I'm doing that, I may as well take advantage of it and defeat him at a game of golf, too!" He chortled, pushing away a tear of laughter from his eye. He clearly was enjoying the power currently he held over the chairman of C&R.

Echo Girl wasn't amused. "How dumb..." she murmured inside her head, turning around and stomping off. "Looks like daddy isn't going to be of any help, after all..." From the looks of it, at this point he could care less about her troubles surrounding Jumin.

She still hadn't gotten over it, though. And she wouldn't.

She would win this fight and prove she was ten thousand times better than that assistant wench.

Echo Girl wasn't afraid of taking what belonged to her.
