Chương 45: Chapter 45

Nari walked out of the studio and headed to the garage, wearing a satisfactory smile.

As she walked towards her car in the garage, a familiar car entered. The car slowed down as it got closer to her, it stopped.

"Nari". Elvis called as he got down from the car. He was surprised seeing Nari at the studio. He quickly walked up to her, holding her hand while he carefully turned her around, like she got hurt.

"Are you okay?, why are you here?". He asked at once, a hint of worry in his voice.

Nari smiled, enjoying the care he expresses towards her. She shook her head as her smile here wider.

"I'm fine babe, mom invited me over".

Elvis was not convinced, especially not when his mother called to meet up with her, and not just anywhere, but her studio.

He suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Did she tell you anything?". He suddenly asked. As long as his mother hated Nari she would do anything to make her stay away from him, even if it meant telling her about his illness.

Nari smiled subconsciously, she knew exactly the 'ANYTHING', Elvis meant and she was going to play dumb.

She raised her brows, putting on false display of emotion.

"What do you mean Mmm?". She furrowed her brows, tilting her head to the side.

Elvis believing her act smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing babe".

Nari nodded and snuggled closer to him. She wrapped her hand around him, laying her head on his chest.

"You're here to see mom?".

Elvis pecked her on her forehead.

"Mmm, it's been long I visited her at the studio, so I wanted to do so today".

She pulled slightly away from him. "She's having a meeting with someone, so I had to leave, I'm not sure you'll be able to see her today".

She knew his mother would be in rage by their conversation and she would probably turn everywhere into a whole mess in anger, she would not let Elvis see that. The little conversation she had with his mother is going to die and be buried in that room and it's not getting out.

"Oh". Elvis smiled. "Do you have anything doing today?". Nari shook her head.

"I don't think so, why?".

"Nothing, let's just go home". Elvis called the driver, telling him to drive Nari's car home while he amd Nari drive his.

"What do you want for dinner". Chaeyoung asked Jia who had just woken up after a long nap. She walked down the stairs wearing a baggy shirt and shorts, she sat on the couch opposite Chaeyoung.

Taking her phone from her pocket, Jia scrolled through it. "Do you want to make something?". She said without raising her head to look at Chaeyoung.

"No, I'm ordering something, so what do you want?". Chaeyoung waited patiently for Jia, who was looking at her phone completely ignoring her.

Chaeyoung sighed and pursed her lips, her eyes shut tight trying to stop the burning rage of being ignored by Jia.

"Jia..". She called quietly to get her attention.

Jia raised her head and her eyes met to Chaeyoung piercing gaze on her. Her brows raised slightly in confusion.

"I'm sorry hun, I was attending to some stuff, did you say you were going to order something?".

Chaeyoung nodded.

"So what do you want?". She looked down on her phone ready to place an order.

A chuckle bubbled up from Jia's throat, she leaned her head back as she laughed uncontrollably. She soon became calm to look at Chaeyoung's stiff face, looking back at her like she had suddenly gone crazy.

"Wait you don't know how to cook". Jia asked, tilting her head sideways, her eyes fixed on Chaeyoung, ready to sneer at her.

"Mmm, I don't why?". Chaeyoung looked unfazed, she leaned back on the couch, crossing her leg as giving Jia an unbothered look.

How much Jia hated it when Chaeyoung looked at her like that, the urge to gurge those two eyeballs from the socket and throw it off to some wild birds.

"You're about getting married and you still don't know how to cook, do you want Yoonjin starving?". She put on a distraught smile.

She avoided calling Yoonjin her husband since he was going to be her's as long as she was there.

She knew he would not be able to resist her, just like every other men that has come her way, though he was a bit different, but he's also a man and they all are into attractive things, not something that looked plain-featured, something like Chaeyoung.

She began to wonder why exactly Yoonjin would want to get married to a rock like Chaeyoung, she still could not understand it.

"Anyways what happened between you and Elvis?, you both were dating, weren't you?". Jia remembered that she had meant to ask Chaeyoung the question but she was just too tired after her long flight.

The distance from country Z to Korea was a really long one, so she had to take a long nap as soon as they got to Chaeyoung's house.

"Mm, we dated why?". Chaeyoung knew exactly where the conversation was headed and she was ready to give an answer to any questions to fill Jia's curiosity.

"Does he know about it?". If Yoonjin doesn't know about her relationship with Elvis, then it could cause a huge problem between them. Yes, he know they were friends since he didn't looked surprised when she asked Chaeyoung the question in the car, but maybe he had no idea that they were something more than just friends.

A glimmer of hope shone at the corner of her eyes, a faint smile tugged the corner of her lips.

She just needed to find a time to come across Yoonjin.

"He knows". Chaeyoung interrupted her thoughts.

Jia looked up, her smile slowly turning into a frown. "And yet he wants to get married to you?". Jia felt she was hearing everything wrong.

Chaeyoung nodded with a shrug. Listening to Jia's questions about her and Elvis, is was slowly beginning to feel Jia was up to something.

Jia has always been that one person who will never be concerned about anything related to her but whenever she was she had a motive.

"And why are you so concerned about my relationship with Elvis?". Chaeyoung waited to see Jia's face drained off blood turning white. She continued without letting Jia get over her first question. "What do you want Jia?". She was not planning on acting clueless like Jia was.

Jia was not expecting Chaeyoung's question all of a sudden, but she did.

She forced a smile at the corner of her lips and shrugged.

"I'm just looking out for you cousin, I mean what if Elvis finds out that you are the bride of his cousin don't you think it's going to cause a lot of trouble for you?". She tried to sound sensible.

"If Yoonjin knows about my relationship with his cousin then what makes you think Elvis doesn't know about my relationship with Yoonjin?". Chaeyoung ignored Jia's question.

Jia was about to speak up when her phone rang, she sighed in relief, she did not know what to say to Chaeyoung at that moment and the call stepped in at the right time.

She looked at the caller ID, it was her mother.

She sighed knowing she was about to hear her continuous nagging.

"I'll take this call". She said and went upstairs.
