3.29% Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover / Chapter 12: That Woman Again

Chapitre 12: That Woman Again

He was staring at her in shock. Was he dreaming again?

"P-punk?" he asked incredulously.

"Yes you, punk!" she sneered. He was shocked at her words. No one had ever called him a punk before. Did he look like one at all? He was Hwang Minho, the richest man in the country!

"You-" he began but she was not listening to him.

Instead she turned to the crowd and yelled, "Is this a TV drama? Why are you all still standing here? Go and mind your own business! Let the police handle it!"

The crowd was taken aback by the detective's crass attitude. Grumbling to themselves, they slowly disbursed. Minho's shock subsided and it was replaced with mild irritation.

"Listen, you're misunderstanding! I did not-"

But his protests were drowned by Miyeon's cries. She grabbed Gayoon's wrist and sobbed, "This man just could not take a rejection! I-I only politely turned him down but he pushed me so hard! Look, my knee got scraped…"

She pointed at her knee. Her pants were a little torn and the scraped skin could be seen. Gayoon turned towards Minho.

"Mister, is she telling the truth?" she asked warily. Minho raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Gayoon did not know who he was. All throughout her pregnancy, they had not met face to face but Minho had her photo and details. He was debating whether to tell her who he was but the circumstances were preventing him from doing so.

"Ms. Miyeon is utterly talentless when it comes to lying," he said coolly. "I merely pointed out how her personal net worth is equal to zero, meaning she was not a profitable prospect for dating nor marriage."

Gayoon blinked in surprise at the strange man's remark. "What?" she frowned.

"You see, I judge people by the net worth they earn," he went on. "Ms. Miyeon, being an heiress who has not earned a single penny without her father's help, has no real money of her own and hence it utterly useless for me. If we end up dating, I would be the one who will have to buy her presents, take her out to expensive restaurants and perhaps spend lavishly on her with my hard earned money whereas she will be merely spending her father's wealth. Without her father's support, she won't be of much value and probably would not even be able to afford a cheap bagel off the streets."

Both Gayoon and Miyeon gaped at him. The man was truly unabashed when it came to his motor mouth. Minions turned towards Gayoon.

"He's now defaming me!" she wailed loudly. Her cries were starting to anger Gayoon. What a drag! She thought.

"Mister," she said to Minho. "Both of you'll have to come to the police station. If you really did assault her, then it's a serious crime."

"Why bother?" Minho asked in a cold tone. "Just check the CCTV camera and be done with it. It'll tell what the truth is."

The mention of cameras made Miyeon stiff with fear. If they check the cameras then she would be caught and Hwang Minho would press charges against her for defamation. Her dad would cut her off if he found out!

"Fine," Gayoon agreed. "I'll ask the park officials and-"

"Detective!" Miyeon exclaimed. "There is no need to drag this drama any further. I have forgiven Mr. Hwang."

Gayoon frowned at her suspiciously. Her tears seemed to have vanished within seconds. It did not take her long to figure out two and two.

"Ma'am, you have been assaulted right?" she pressed, emphasizing on the word 'assaulted'. "Weren't you crying for justice just moments ago?"

Miyeon bit her lip, trying to get out of the situation but Gayoon was able to read through her lies. Her expressions gave her away.

"N-no," she stammered. "I was hurt but it's nothing really! Let's just forgive Mr. Hwang. It was a mistake, really."

But Gayoon was not going to let her go so easily. "Let the cameras decide the truth," she said with a hint of threat.

Minho was quietly watching the two women, amused by Gayoon's sarcasm. Miyeon was visibly scared now that she was trapped in her own web.

"I-I-I just remembered I have an important meeting!" she claimed.

"At this hour?" Gayoon scoffed. A strict expression formed on her face as she was clearly annoyed with the lying woman. "Lady, do you know the punishment for defamation is three years in jail? No matter how small it is? If this guy wants, he can throw you in jail in seconds!"

Miyeon gulped nervously, her face beading with sweat.

"Now apologize!" Gayoon yelled, making Miyeon squirm. The latter turned to face Minho.

"I-I'm sorry!" she begged with her hands clasped. "Please forgive me, Mr. Hwang!"

"Lee Corporations, right?" Minho said, raising an eyebrow. "I'll remember that name. You can go home now."

Miyeon was more scared now. What was he going to do?

"You heard the man!" Gayoon barked. "Go home, miss!��

Miyeon jumped and turned on her heel, running away as fast as she could. Minho was also starting to leave when Gayoon asked, "What did you mean when you said you will 'remember the name'?"

He turned to face her. She had not changed much over the years except for the fact that her once frail body was now more toned and fit. It was no doubt due to the gruelling training police officers had to go through.

"It means, I will destroy her father's company by tomorrow morning," he said calmly. Gayoon frowned.

"Mister, are you some sort of rich CEO?" she asked. Minho almost laughed at her naivety.

"Who knows?" he smirked. "See you around, detective Jeon Gayoon."

With that, he walked off, leaving her very confused. Gayoon stared at his retreating back, inwardly appreciating the view. If only he wasn't a money hungry machine, she sighed. With those chiseled looks and fit muscles, he's a pretty good catch.

Then she slightly frowned. He called her by her name. She tried to recall if she had mentioned her name to him but her memory drew a blank.

"Maybe I forgot I mentioned it," she shrugged and turned around to finish the rest of her night shift.

….

Minho reached home at nearly 3 am at night. He headed straight for his bedroom and took a quick shower. Texting his secretary that he would go to the office late in the afternoon along with some instructions about dealing with Lee Corporations, he lay back on his bed wearing a bathrobe which highlighted his perfectly sculpted body.

It was hard to believe that of all the people in the world, he ran into Jeon Gayoon that night. He had wondered at times in passing what had happened to that weak looking girl who was Jina's birth mother. Never in his wildest imagination did he think that she would turn out to be a detective. It was hard to believe that a meek girl like her would turn out to be a strong woman in her own right.

"Looks like we'll run into each other soon," Minho smirked. "Jeon Gayoon."

Chapitre 13: Chicken Restaurant

When Gayoon walked into the station the next afternoon, she was deadbeat. Her nightshift ended at 5 am and the encounter with the strange money lover left her even more tired. She vaguely wondered who the handsome stranger was.

"His looks may be devilish but his tongue is a killer," she sighed. If only he had a gentle personality, she would have followed up on her grandma's advice and latched on to him. Too bad he had a nasty attitude.

She put her bag on her desk and sat on her chair, turning on the computer. The amount of files which needed to be updated were killing her. She had to go through at least 200 old files everyday alongside the new ones which only increased her already thin patience.

"Ugh!" she exclaimed. The database was so outdated that she would have to retype a lot of the information. Looking at the numbers and evidence only made her head spin. Gayoon laid her head down, trying not to cry in anger.

"Whatcha doin?"

A familiar voice made her snap her head up. Jina was looking at her with her doey eyes.

"Kid!" Gayoon said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Did you find my mom?" Jina asked. Gayoon felt a pang of guilt. She was so engrossed in her work, that she could not follow up on the little child's request.

"I...I am trying," Gayoon lied with her fingers crossed under the desk. But Jina narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

"You didn't try, did you?" she accused.

Gayoon groaned and lay her head back on the table. "Kid, I haven't been able to sleep for the past few nights due to the damn night shift! Cut me some slack!"

If Jina was being honest with herself, she stopped by to see Gayoon again. After meeting the Lady Cop, she became very curious about her. All day, she was waiting for school to end so that she could meet Gayoon again. She was getting impatient. If she could not find her own mom then she was determined to make Gayoon her mother.

"I know the feeling," Jina sighed as she climbed to sit on the table. She was carrying a school bag on her shoulder. "I rarely get to sleep at night."

Gayoon frowned. "Why?" she asked.

"Casper and Josephine come to visit me at night," Jina replied. "They're really sad and need someone to play with."

"Casper and Josephine?"

"Mmm!" Jina nodded. "They're my friends! They're really nice! I like to play with them even though dad says they're imaginary. But I think they're real!"

"What do you-" Gayoon began but they were interrupted by a loud crash. One of the inmates was throwing a tantrum.

"What kinda shitty food is this?" he yelled. "Sons of bitc-"

Gayoon immediately shut Jina's ears. "Don't listen to them!" she ordered.

"But why is the mister shouting?" Jina asked curiously. "And what is 'shitty'?"

"Hush!" Gayoon scolded. "Don't ever use that word! It's a bad word! Understood?"

She did not want Jina to pick up slangs from the criminals in prison. What if her father found out and pressed charges against them?

"But the mister used it."

"Yeah, well he's a bad guy. He uses it coz he's bad. But our Jina is a good girl. Right?"

"Yes!"

One of the officers went into the cell to deal with the prisoner. An argument was going to ensue so Gayoon picked up Jina in her arms and carried her away towards the pantry which was thankfully empty. Once they were out of earshot, she put Jina down.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. "Does your dad know you're here?"

Jina had coerced Driver Jang to take her to the police station once again. She had an inkling that the old man would try to call her father again so she threatened him that if he informed Minho, she would tell the latter about how she caught him with one of the servants inside the mansion.

"He's busy," Jina simply said. "Besides, I'm here to meet you."

Just then, her stomach gave a loud rumble. She had not eaten anything since break time and she was starving.

"You didn't have lunch?" Gayoon exclaimed. "Go home!"

Jina pouted. "I came to visit you and you wouldn't even treat me to lunch," she muttered, feigning sadness while peeking at Gayoon with her innocent eyes. "And here I was, trying to become a cool detective like you."

She let out a loud sigh. Gayoon bit her lip, finding herself in a dilemma. Jina looked so sad that her heart was wrenching at the little child's sight.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to buy her lunch, she thought.

"Fine!" Gayoon conceded. "I'll treat you to lunch. But don't make it a daily thing!"

"Yaii!" Jina cheered and hugged Gayoon. Touched by the little girl's gestures, Gayoon asked, "What do you wanna eat?"

"Chicken fry!"

"Ahh the restaurant across the road has some great chicken fries!" Gayoon exclaimed. "Let's go!"

She took Jina's hand and together, they left the station to walk towards the chicken restaurant. Gayoon picked up Jina in her arms again, waiting for the pedestrian signal to turn green.

"How long have you been a cop?" Jina queried.

"I passed my test when I was twenty two," Gayoon said. "Took me four tries but I finally managed to get in!"

They entered the restaurant. It was crowded but Gayoon managed to find a seat for them at a corner. Jina stared around her in awe. She had never been to such a place before. The crowd was a mixture of office workers and day time labors who came in for a hearty lunch. One guy was complaining loudly about his job while a group at another table was gossiping about politics. There were people from all segments of the society, sharing meals and drinks.

The smell of fried chicken engulfed the whole area. The place was nothing extraordinary but everyone was busy eating their food. They relished the greasy chicken as if it was something very exquisite. Jina wondered why everyone was so enjoying it so much.

"What happened?" Gayoon asked, noticing Jina's awed expression.

"I've never been to a place like this," she admitted. "So many people!"

"You've never been to a chicken restaurant?" Gayoon asked in shock.
