Chapter 5 – A True And Blue Arranged Marriage
JEON CAFE
She was seated comfortably in a quiet corner of her favorite cafe. Her fingers delicately danced around the brim of the cup.
So many thoughts were running through her mind at this moment. Her grandfather, Jeon Corporation, NCT and mainly him Johnny.
The chair in front in front of her was pulled and someone sat down. She didn’t bother looking up. She already knows who it was. She could feel his aura in the air. Strong, masculine, alluring dangerous.
“Why did you request you meet me? I’m a busy man.” He went straight to the point. There was no chitchat, no ‘how do you like the weather talk’
“I take it you have no intention on carrying out this circus of meds our families have set up for us.” She responded. She knew she had his full attention the second she spilled these words.
“What were you thinking?” He questioned. Yes, it was true they didn’t have a good first meeting, or a good second one but they had one thing in common. Neither wanted to be tied down, especially to each other.
“A true and blue arranged feelings for each other. This will last at least for 20 months, afterwards you take what you sow and we file a divorce.”
Johnny almost cringed at how robotic she sounded. He expected a stubborn brat for a wife. What he got was even worst. At least a brat could entertain him. SoMi was too detached from the rest of the world. The woman seemed too busy with her own vendetta to stop and live. She was simply boring. Johnny despised boring.
“This sounds…. boring.” He answered honestly. He expected her to make some sort of come back and she did.
“What? Were you expecting a honeymoon in Paris? Four course home cooking and morning?”
He chuckled at her bluntness. “Not the honeymoon or four course home cooking part but the morning however….”
“Im being serious.” She chimed in.
How could this woman be the same from yesterday? The one throwing witty remarks on him. How did she suddenly turn into this robot within the short time span of 12 hours.
He had to admit though, he like the person sitting across from him. She was confident and level-headed. He found nothing else than a confident woman who knew what she wanted. The fact that SoMi was gorgeous just added bonus.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” He asked
She tilted her head confused by his remarks.
“You knew who I was, yet said nothing. Why is that?” He clarified. He watched as a twisted grin appeared on her face. He was reminded of the woman from yesterday. The minx who wasn’t scared to insult him.
“Having almost hit me was a pure coincidence, believe me. I just wanted to see what makes those iron locks of yours shake. And apparently, people with no regards to your social standing really bugs you.” She commented with curiosity in her voice. Her voice was as light as a blade and deadly sharp.
“No. Just people who give no respect.” He corrected, he was unintentionally insulting her.
She huffed, knowing they were getting off track. She could feel the anger inside her begin to boil. She couldn’t allow that. She couldn’t allow this man to take control of her feelings.
“What do you say about my proposition?”
“I say we give it a try. With a few changes of course.”
“Such as?”
“Why 20 months?”
“Because in 19 and a half months, my grandfather will relinquish everything in Jeon Corporation to me or more specifically you, ‘my husband’.” She explained.
He like this even more. Jeon Corporation was one of the most powerful companies in Korea. To control born businesses in Chicago and Korea was just a major plus to him.
“If I get everything under Jeon Corporation. What about you?”
“You don’t need to worry about that.” She replied dryly.
A satisfied smirked appeared on his face. He stood up from his seat, his eyes glue on her. “We have a deal.”
“Jeon SoMi.” He mumbled while walking to his car. He liked the war her name sounded. The woman was now the main source of his curiosity.
