Muyeol never shared the matters of the company with her. Even if he tried to, Yiyoung wouldnât be able to understand him, just as Muyeol was unable to comprehend the medical terms had used while explaining her days at the ER.
âDo you really not know?â Heesu asked.
Yiyoung expected that Heesu would spill something important, so she interrupted Heesu before she could utter another word. âI think you havenât learned proper etiquette yet. You canât call a sick patient like this.â
âI apologize if I made you uncomfortable. I felt it was okay to do so since youâre a part of the family now.â
âIf you called to congratulate me, then I appreciate that. Yes, Iâm being discharged today. Can I hang up now?â
âBut this matter is related to your husband!â Heesu chuckled, âSee, this is why itâs important for a man to only get married to a woman whoâs ready for marriage.â
This entire time, Yiyoung had wanted to be as courteous as possible to Heesu. Had it been Mr. Cha, Mrs. Kang, or Jaeho calling her, her attitude would have been much different. She had heard enough about them from Muyeol. Gong Heesu was different, however, since she had no idea who this woman was.
But hearing her mockery-laden words, Yiyoung ran out of patience. âHey, Ms. Gong Heesu. If you havenât learned proper manners, then please do so now. And donât ever say that Iâm a part of your family. I will never be a part of your family unless Muyeol says so. And you probably got engaged to Cha Jaeho because he deceived you with that fake personality of his. Heâs a piece of trash, so watch out. Heâs different than you think. Heâs two-faced, and he physically abuses women without any hesitation.â
âOh yeah?â questioned Heesu, âWell, maybe the women caused the abuse. They should be careful. Were you abused by him as well?â
The moment Heesu uttered the phrase âas wellâ, Yiyoung realized it; Gong Heesu already knew Jaehoâs true nature.
âYouâre crazy. Have fun being beaten by your husband.â
âWhat did you say?â
âYou should be afraid, having to live with a psycho who could attack you at any moment,â Yiyoung added, âYouâre not even someone important to me, and youâre ruining my mood for no reason.â
âMrs. Yoon Yiyoung, you should watch your mouth. You donât even know what happened to Muyeol because of you andââ
âIâm not going to watch my mouth. Bye.â Yiyoung hung up the phone.
But Heesuâs words still pricked her mind. Yiyoungâs hand began to shake out of anxiousness. âDarn it. Was she telling the truth? Did something really happen to Muyeol?â
But Muyeol was so quiet about his matters⦠There was no way for her to find out if something happened to him at work. Yiyoung was only able to calm down after blocking Heesuâs number. And then Muyeol walked into the room.
âOh, hey,â Yiyoung greeted.
Muyeol noticed that her food was practically untouched. âDid you have that many texts to send?â
Yiyoung began to continue typing her message to Jaehee, looking as if nothing wrong had taken place. âNo, I couldnât send a single text because this crazy woman named Gong Heesu called, and I accidentally picked it up.â
âGive me your phone.â
âNo. I already blocked her number.â Yiyoung stiffly tapped the keys as she typed the message. âIs something going on at work? I heard that that piece of trash is engaged now. Is the marriage a ploy?â
âNothingâs going on at work. And I donât care about them.â
âSo thereâs nothing affecting you at work because of me?â
âNot one bit,â Muyeol insisted.
âReally?â Yiyoung looked at him. âNothing?â
âIâm a talented person. I wonât let my marriage affect my work,â he said in a robust tone.
âOkay. Iâll trust you.â
âGood.â
Yiyoung shrugged in acceptance. âAlso, are you not comfortable with me calling him a piece of trash?â
âNot at all.â
âAnd what about me calling her a crazy woman?â
âNot a problem.â
âOkay,â Yiyoung exhaled in relief, âThank you for being on my side.â
Muyeol patted her hair, smiling at her as he did so.
