บท 40: An honest system

I'm an honest system, Soohyun," Minnie voiced out, "Since you've completed the mission, you'll be rewarded as well."

Thinking of the reward, Soohyun's eyes sparkled, and great expectations came in her mind. Since Minnie mentioned it will help in her mission, could it be something helpful related to topping the man?

"Eunwoo and Chaeyoung will be attending a ball tonight," Minnie said.

'I knew that already; I read the novel. Is this supposed to be your so-called reward? Where is that honesty you're speaking about? After all that effort I put in—"

"Listen to me completely before speaking!" Minnie exclaimed— slightly irritated.

A smirk formed on Soohyun's face when she realised she had irritated Minnie. After all that annoyance from Minnie she received, this was barely close enough.

"The ball is a great chance for you to cause a disruption between Chaeyoung's and Eunwoo's relationship if you play your cards right," Minnie informed, "Your reward for this is an invitation card to the ball."

'Oh!'

Such balls can not be attended without an invitation card. Recalling the details from the novel, Eunwoo was given two invitation cards for himself and Moon Jiwoo.

However, the Male Lead gave Chaeyoung the invitation card, and instead of Jiwoo, he took Chaeyoung along with him. To the hostess, he had lied that Jiwoo wasn't able to attend due to some sickness and have given her card over to Chaeyoung.

Soohyun had to admit that this move made Eunwoo a jerk. Even though Jiwoo was not the best person out there, giving one's things to someone else was not acceptable.

Thinking about the ball, many ideas on how to create fun came in her mind immediately, and she couldn't wait to try them out.

Now that the dear Male Lead was her enemy, she will have an enjoyable time playing with him. After all, the stress that Minhyun and Minnie gave her had to be released somewhere.

Going to a ball required proper arrangements, and since she was a beauty now, there were lots of gorgeous clothes which would suit her, unlike her previous tomboy self.

Excitement filled her as she was about to get off her bed when a sharp pain went through her back, and she immediately fell down on the ground with a pained expression.

"Shibal! Shibal! Shibal!" She exclaimed whilst groaning. She was truly a beauty who was tortured by the beast mercilessly.

That is when the door to the room opened, and Minhyun entered in. Looking down, he spotted Soohyun. Instead of showing concern, he rolled his eyes and stared at her with a bored expression.

"Come over for breakfast," He voiced out, leaving Soohyun speechless.

'Is that it? Shouldn't he help me up or ask if I'm alright? Is that how one reacts after seeing someone as beautiful as Moon Jiwoo, now me. Truly, this Villain is more in love with the Female Lead than the Male Lead himself.'

Thrusting her lower lips forward, Soohyun pouted and blinked her eyes multiple times, trying to form the tears. After the tears formed, she stared at the ground with a pitiful expression.

As Minhyun turned to leave the room, Soohyun expressed, "Hubby, it hurts. I can't get up."

Halting in his steps, Minhyun faced Soohyun, and the bored expression from earlier was replaced with a devilish smirk. Something within Soohyun told her that she had awakened the devil.

Stepping towards Soohyun, he sat down with his one knee touching the ground and the other knee raised. The sadistic look in Minhyun's eyes made Soohyun gulp in fear.

"So, you need my help?" Minhyun questioned.

The deep voice of his made Soohyun feel tingles all over the body get scared at the same time. She had an ominous feeling about the entire thing.

Hesitantly, Soohyun nodded.

The smirk on Minhyun's face widened whilst he spoke out, "I don't give my help for free though."

At that moment, although frightened, Soohyun was very close to having a nosebleed.
