Chapitre 29: Curiosity killed the cat

'Wait! Doesn't Minhyun like the female lead? Now, this is going to get harder than it already is!'

An audible sigh was let out by Soohyun.

'Try to remember, Soohyun, all the connections between Minhyun and the female lead. Minhyun chased after the female lead because of some event that happened in the past, and ever since their first encounter, he showed interest in female lead.'

Soohyun was extremely curious on why she was here. Nonetheless, she had heard of the saying, 'Curiosity killed the cat', and she had no whatsoever desire to die.

"Chaeyoung-ssi, it's fancy seeing you here," Soohyun voiced out while waving her hand at her with a big smile.

Scanning the female lead from top to bottom, Soohyun found the female lead looking like ordinary female leads— extremely beautiful but less than the villain. Moreover, the female lead had a outlook that made her seem smart and cute at the same time.

"Jiwoo-ssi, it's a surprise seeing you here," Chaeyoung replied, turning towards Soohyun. However, her face showed no signs of shock.

'She must have known from those gossips going on below.'

"I'm just visiting my hubby. Since you have some important affair, I'll be taking my leave," Soohyun voiced out, closing her lunch box and grasping it in her hand.

Standing up, Soohyun walked towards the door whilst her mind was plagued with thoughts on why the female lead was here. Before leaving, Soohyun waved Minhyun a 'bye' and left the room with a jovial expression, as if she was clueless on what was going on.

She didn't want her body to be discovered dead by the police so soon. Then again, with Minhyun involved, her body might not be found.

The thought of that made Soohyun shiver.

Once the door behind her was closed, Soohyun looked around her, and when she saw that there was no sign of anyone, she leaned against the door to try to hear the conversation between both of them.

Knowing too much can lead to one's death, but in Soohyun's case, not knowing can also be detrimental. Therefore, garnering up her courage, she could only eavesdrop.

But before any of the words could reach her ear, footsteps were heard, and Soohyun immediately jumped away from the door. She can't be caught eavesdropping.

Turning away from the door with a big smile, Soohyun tried her best to not look at all suspicious. Seeing Jihyun in front her, she stepped towards him with an idea brewing inside her mind.

"Jihyun-ssi, you are single, I assume," Soohyun voiced out.

"Yes. But Miss Moon, how does that concern you?" Jihyun asked with dimples appearing at his cheeks whilst he spoke out.

"That means you have no one to make food for you." Soohyun pretended to look despondent. "It must feel horrible when you see your co-workers with lunch boxes made by their partner."

"That's not exactly—"

Before Jihyun could complete his sentence, Soohyun interrupted, "It's alright; I understand. You shouldn't hide it."

Placing her hand on Jihyun's shoulder to comfort him, Soohyun voiced out, "Since I'm your boss' wife and will be making lunches for him from now on, I'll make one for you too regularly."

Currying favour with Jihyun was the really important for her if she had to win Minhyun for Jihyun had Minhyun's utmost trust. If Jihyun has a favourable opinion of her, it would be easier to make Minhyun fall for her.

"That is not needed, Miss Moon."

"Don't be shy; I don't mind making an extra for you," Soohyun vocalised, "And you need to stop with the formalities. Just call me Soo-Jiwoo. Call me only Jiwoo."
