CLUMSY INTERN - CHAPTER 36&37
❀❀❀❀
Eun-Hae reached the Lee’s penthouse, she slumped on the couch tiredly with a long sigh
A middle aged lady who is the house’s caretaker rushed to her and bowed
“Welcome ma’am” She said, “What would you want me to get for you?” She asked and Eun-Hae waved her away with her hand, she didn’t need anything
“Okay ma’am…I’ll be around if you need me” The lady said before leaving
Eun-Hae sighed again and closed her eyes recalling how Min-ji spoke to her, she felt hurt, really hurt that a tear dropped from her eye
When she was about to go into a deep slumber, she started seeing a few disturbing images and voices
“Ji-hyo!!”
“She left…it’s all your fault, vile woman” Minister Lee glared dangerously at her and she gulped shaking terribly
“Ji-hyo”
“Eomma!!!!” Min-ji yelled seeing her mom in a pool of blood on the highway
Eun-Hae’s eyes snapped open immediately, her breath ragged, she shakily went through her handbag and grabbed a container of pills
Took out two tablets and pushed it down her throat quickly
She was unnecessarily sweaty and anxious, this isn’t the first time she’s having such flashes, in fact it happens on a daily basis that she needs pills to get her to sleep
After she slowly caught her breath, she took out her phone and tried calling Anna but it didn’t go through, Anna blocked her number
Eun-Hae heaved a sad sigh and bit her lip, was this what she gets?
Such rash treatment for one mistake?
Her daughter h@??s her existence, her stepdaughter will not even like her in years to come and her husband?
She chuckled at the thought of minister Lee, he h@??s her to the moon and back
Slowly, she rose up from the couch and scampered upstairs

< MELODY HIGH: CAFETERIA>
Moon was back in school, he’d gone home after the incident with Yu-ri to change so he was in different clothes now
After getting his food, he went to the only table available which was occupied by Gavin
“Hi” He said smugly and Gavin smirked, keeping mute
Moon noticed he was going through a book and his eyes widened, wasn’t that the same book Yu-ri almost ki||ed him for?
A weird feeling engulfed him and he scoffed
“How did you get that?” He asked irritatingly
“This?” Gavin looked up and pointed at the book then waved at Yuri and co who just got their food, “She gave it to me”
Moon was about speaking when Juni plopped on the space beside him, he smiled foolishly at her
“Wow…people love the cafeteria’s menu?” Yu-ri exclaimed as she sat down, the number of people in the cafeteria was incredibly much
She and Moon locked gazes briefly before facing their meals
“So apparently your boyfriend is still alive” Yu-ri said with a pointed stare at Juni
“What?” Moon raised a brow
“Yes… she reported me to the Principal with claims that I ki||ed you?” Yu-ri said in an angry tone
“What do I expect from someone like you who goes around fighting everyone, I was scared” Juni snapped, “Behave like a girl for once” She added
Yu-ri felt defeated a moment, but her face lit up, “I’m a girl who’s not a baby…like some of us here” She said and Juni frowned obviously getting the hidden message
Gavin smirked, “That’s right… girls who own their $h|t are better than softies” He said and Yu-ri didn’t know when she smiled
Jack and Blake just watched on, surprised that Yuri was smiling at what Gavin said
“Isn’t she supposed to like Moon?” Blake whispered to Jack
“Honestly, I’m also confused” Jack said back
Moon watched with weird feelings as she directed her smile at Gavin
He gulped losing his appetite, involuntarily
“Are you okay?” Juni asked, he nodded and looked back at Yu-ri, she was staring at him too
“I’m full” Yu-ri announced and pushed her tray towards Jack, then snatched her book from Gavin before marching out of the cafeteria
“Me too” Moon said grumpily standing up, he stared at Gavin before leaving
Gavin just sighed, and picked on his food
Moon walked slowly along the halls, creasing his brows in annoyance, he suddenly felt hungry again
Why did he leave anyway?
He scoffed, why did she give him the book she blatantly refrained him from touching…
Suddenly out of nowhere, Alisa jumped on him clinging tightly
“$h|t!” He cussed and pushed her away, she almost fell on the floor
“Hey what was that for…that isn’t how you react when a girl likes and hugs you” She said with a strain of hurt in her voice
He scrunched his face in disgust
“Well that’s how I react when I don’t like whomever claims to like me, now quit being a ?îtçh and f_ck off!” He snapped and shoved her aside before walking away
“It’s because of her..” She muttered and folded her fist
★★★
< 7:30pm: AJ GROUP OF COMPANIES>
Ace was swivelling about in his chair rubbing his head tiresomely as he stared at the city through the wide transparent glass
His lips stretched into a smile and soon it turned into a chuckle. He was thinking about the love of his life actually…Min-ji.
He pouted feeling lonely and cold wishing she was here with him, God was today boring. He attended several meetings within and outside the company that at a point he almost looked for a replacement
His door opened and the sounds of a lady’s heel was heard, he didn’t look back as he thought it was his secretary
Min-ji grinned taking calculative steps towards him, she was almost covering his eyes when he swiftly swivelled around with a frown
“Woah..” She gasped moving back quickly
Ace sighed and breathed out in relief, for a moment he thought his secretary turned to a ?îtçh!
Whereas, it was his cute girlfriend…the one he’s been thinking about
“Jeez pipe down sweetheart” Min-ji rolled her eyes flatly with a half smile, he smiled back and leaned into his chair staring at her like a billionaire dollar antique
She nervously bit her lip as she dropped her bag and blazer on the chair, she stepped out of her heels and threw her legs around
Argh…finally out of that torture..she thought
“You keep getting pretty everyday…what’s you secret” He asked pulling her to himself and she fell on his laps giggling
“I missed you” She said and cupped his cheeks placing a light kiss on each side
“How was work?” He asked
“I wanna quit!” She said seriously and he nodded
“You do you okay?… But do you really wanna quit? That job hella suits you” He said and she laughed, she loves that job too f_cking much to even quit
“I thought you left already, I was kinda nervous coming here, hope I didn’t disturb you?” She asked making herself comfortable on his legs
A subtle laugh escaped his lips, she was seated on him almost unclad off her work attire and she just remembered to ask that?
This girlfriend of his is really something…
“You came just in time… and you’re always welcomed here” He said and took a bunch of spare keys on the desk and handed it to her, “The house and office keys”
She giggled and hugged him tightly, they remained like that for awhile in comfortable silence till Ace spoke
“Are you really minister Lee’s daughter?” He asked and she cringed clutching his sides a bit tighter
Speaking about her shitty family is the last thing she planned to do today especially after meeting half of them earlier
Ace noticed her discomfort and cussed inwardly at himself
“I’m really sorry pumpkin, I didn’t mean to get you worked up, you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, I’m sorry” He apologized and she sighed
“It’s nothing… I’m not ready to speak about that just yet” She said and straddled him fondling with his shirt
“You don’t want to go there pumpkin” He smirked but she continued stubbornly, rocking her hips back and forth on him with a naughty smirk
“Or else..”
“Don’t dare me..”
She grinned wickedly and rocked faster, he shut his eye and grunted
He grabbed her waist and drew her head closer to his, slamming his lips on hers, kissing gently and passionately
His hands trailed up her legs to her butt and groped it, a Mõ@? escaped her lips, all this while she unbuttoned her shirt and even unclasped her bra letting her B-__-bs free
She broke the kiss and took off the lose clothing in a flash. Ace’s eyes widened at the sight of her fleshy round peaches in front of him
“f_ck!” He gulped and launched his mouth on one of her hard ??pplës sucking and biting
“Gawwd!!” She Mõ@?ed and threw her head backwards in ecstasy as Ace worked on both her B-__-bs
★★★
Min-ji’s car drove into the driveway, she had a sheepish smile on her face as she got out. She looked disheveled, lips swollen and hickeys all over her neck and probably on her B-__-bs too.
That was the most intense make out she’ll ever have with anyone and she loved it. They didn’t go past that anyway, just a basis to their relationship
As she reminisced, she looked forward and saw another SUV parked by the street.
“Huh?” She walked over to the car, not wanting to miss a chance to meet Rhett that’s if he’s the one
As if on cue, the glasses whined down, she gasped
“Ahhh….it’s really you…Yi-jun!!” She squealed and gestured for him to come out which he did
She jumped on him squealing excitedly
“I’m your biggest fan…I’ve read all your books even the ones you plan on writing, I’ve read them” She screeched and he chuckled
“Thanks for being a fan” He smiled
“Where’s So-hee, isn’t she supposed to be with you?” She looked around then back at him
“She left without me, so I..”
“You came to see if she got home safely” She completed his statement and tugged on his arm, “We’re soulmates, we think alike”
He looked at her clearly amused by how cute she was
“I’ll leave now” He informed and she gasped, “No way, you’re staying till she gets back…but till then you have a fan signing to attend”
He stared at her blankly, fan signing? He doesn’t remember organizing one, or did his manager do that without his consent?
Besides why at night?
“All my books of yours…I need your signature on them to rub it in people’s faces” She jumped about and skipped to the front door
Rhett smirked and followed behind thinking of how So-hee would react when she sees him in her house
“I like her already” He muttered referring to Min-ji and her vibes
***
So-hee paid off the cab and waved at it till it went out of sight, she looked back at the apartment and sighed
With all her heart was doing today whenever she saw Rhett, she needed a good night’s sleep.
She purposely went on a meeting with Vivian to avoid being stuck with him in his car, since they were soon gonna be stuck together on a vacation
Which seemed like a bad idea already but just so she could keep Ella shut…
That witch!
With a childish pout, she dragged herself to the front door where she presumed she was hearing voices
Did Min-ji bring Ace?
She grinned and opened the door quickly but froze when the voice sounded awfully familiar and a cologne she knew hit her nose
“How do you come up with such lines..” Min-ji said laughing
“It’s pretty easy but this one…I still can’t wrap my head around it”
She let her bag fall when she heard the voice, what was he doing in her home?
She was about turning back when Min-ji ran towards her, “Kim So-hee!! Guess who’s here?”
“I’m going to see Yu-ri” So-hee said holding the door knob
“You and I know that in a million years you’d never go to see Yu-ri for any reason” Min-ji said and pulled her into the room then to the kitchen
“Tada… it’s Rhett…freaking Rhett!!!” She squealed while So-hee sighed dropping her shoulders
Rhett watched her with a smirk and legs crossed
“Hi boss” She itched her head, “what are you doing here..in my home.. with my friend…in our kitchen?” She asked awkwardly
Min-ji and Rhett bursted into laughter causing her nervousness to double it’s feat
“It’s good you’re back So-hee, I was really hungry…can you make something for me, for us?” Min-ji batted her lashes cutely
“Let’s order take out tonight” She grumbled
“No..we can’t order take our special guest” Min-ji winked
After convincing her to prepare pasta, Min-ji went to her room to bring her “book collection” which So-hee knows doesn’t exist
She only did that so she’ll be left alone with Rhett
“So how was the meeting?” She jumped when she felt him behind her
“It went well” She answered
In a swift motion, she was placed on the counter and he was between her legs
“Sir” She whispered looking cautiously at the stairs for Min-ji
“What?” He raised a teasing brow, “Don’t worry she’s not coming back soon”
“The pasta..”
“What did I tell say about avoiding me?” He cut her off and she blushed at how intimately positioned they were
“I’m not avoiding you…it’s..” She trailed listening to her heartbeat
Rhett looked at her emerald eyes seemingly, a smile stretched out on his lips
He knows that reaction too well…the silly blushes, nervousness and sudden loss of words
He smirked and rubbed her face
“Do you want me to leave?”
“No!” She answered sharply and he smiled, just as predicted…cute!
So-hee palmed her eyes, “You can leave after you’ve had dinner” She said and got down the counter, he just smirked and walked back to the chair
Min-ji came back just in time for dinner, they ate together with she and Rhett talking about books
So-hee just listened
After the awkward dinner, she quickly scurried to her room before Min-ji would haul questions at her
★★★
< 2 DAYS LATER >
“It’s just two weeks Min-ji, don’t act like I’m getting married” So-hee snapped as Min-ji kept whining about her leaving for Jogno-gu
She dragged her bag outside, Min-ji followed frowning
Rhett’s car stopped in front of them on the street, he wore shades making him hotter, So-hee was lost drooling
“Ahem..” Min-ji cleared her throat and tapped her shoulder lightly, “Are you sure you wanna go on that vacation with this load of segziness?” She whispered into her ear
She shrugged
“Good morning” she mumbled and proceeded to place her bag in the booth
She and Rhett didn’t speak much and it was hurting her pretty bad, it even worsened when they picked Ella.
Rhett and Ella kept blabbing on and on, she seemed invisible. She was strangling Ella in her head already, she didn’t even realize she was glaring through the mirror
Lastly, they picked Felix and for some stupid reason, Rhett asked her to drive so he could sit in the back with Ella
So-hee has never felt so angry before, she almost cried when he suggested that
Felix wanted to drive but she insisted, through the drive, they stopped for ice cream
“Bunny, are you okay?” Felix asked when he noticed the sour look in her face, she got her ice cream already and sat on a bench with him
She didn’t answer him, she was glaring daggers at Rhett who was busily flirting with the receptionist
“So-hee..”
“I’m fine” she snapped, feeling waves of anger, jealousy and sadness flood through her in a whiff
She felt like walking up to that receptionist and shoving her ice cream cone straight into her nose
And Rhett? After he’d asked her to stop avoiding him, he was doing this…
She dropped the ice cream and ran to the car
Felix shook his head, maybe she’s homesick?
He then smiled thinking of how he’s planned out everything to make her stay comfortable, he even thought of telling her about his feelings when they got there
“Let’s switch places, I’ll drive now” Ella volunteered
So-hee sent her a fake smile and shook her head
“I’ll drive, just enjoy the ride” She said and looked back at Rhett who was busy on his phone
Her heart pricked, he’s not even staring at her again?
Ella shrugging and got into the back licking her icecream delightfully
“Are you sure you want to drive?” Felix asked worriedly
“Yes, I’m sure!” She said snappily shocking them, “I mean yeah sure” She forced a smile and ignited the engine
“Look there’s something on your lips” Rhett said and Ella giggled trying to clean it but he stopped her
So-hee was watching through the mirror
“I’ll do it!” He offered and took his hands to her lips wiping it slowly
So-hee’s body went numb instantly, her hands dropped from the steering wheel, she quickly took control
He still continued wiping Ella’s lips
She involuntarily started pressing the horn her eyes not leaving the mirror
“So-hee!”
“Bunny!!”
“We’re gonna die!!”
“So-hee!!!!”
