Chapter 51.2

“About the watch.”

Park Seo-hwa pointed to the watch on Goyo’s wrist. Goyo squinted as she looked at the watch. It was one of Jae-heon’s possessions, and when she admired its beautiful design, he had snapped it onto her wrist.

“You received it without knowing? That brand starts at a minimum of 100 million won. Moreover, that model looks like a handmade piece.”

Park Seo-hwa chuckled, saying that if it was a product specially ordered from a watchmaker, it was likely the only one in the world. She added that it was priceless.

Given Park Seo-hwa’s sophisticated appearance, it was clear she was knowledgeable about luxury goods. However, Goyo hadn’t expected her to know so much about men’s watches.

“It’s not a gift. He just put it on me.”

The watch he usually wore was leather, not metal. Although the design was unique, she thought it wouldn’t be more expensive than metal.

But at least 100 million won?

Kwon Jae-heon wouldn’t own a mundane product, but why was the watch so expensive? No, more importantly, Jae-heon had even made a new hole in the leather because it didn’t fit her wrist…

‘Ah, Kwon Jae-heon. What kind of expensive item have you damaged?’

Goyo found herself unconsciously fiddling with the watch on her wrist. Her body instinctively shrank back.

Then she suddenly realized, why was she fidgeting like a criminal when she hadn’t done anything wrong?

Having heard so many times that she was a parasite living off Lee Yi-taek and a brainless fool living thoughtlessly, the habit of submission had become ingrained in her.

Today, she couldn’t even defend herself against such remarks. Her gaze naturally fell downward.

When she had her first s*x with Kwon Jae-heon, she received a necklace worth 1 billion won. Since then, the countless times they had intertwined their bodies had resulted in her being adorned with money she could never earn in her lifetime.

However, all Goyo wanted was peace.

She had endured being a dog for the Yi-taek family and tolerated violence because she wanted to live quietly. Of course, she had some desires.

To have them give up on her. To graduate from university safely and find a job. To build a family with the man she loved and live a normal life. Was that possible?

“You’re cute, Goyo. While others are eager to get more, why are you so down about something that’s not a big deal?”

“No, I’m just…”

A one-of-a-kind handmade item couldn’t be nothing special. Was it possible that receiving gifts from a man in exchange for s*x wasn’t a big deal?

“I understand why everyone is so eager to give.”

Park Seo-hwa muttered as she pulled a wallet from her handbag. Then, unexpectedly, she handed Goyo a business card.

“Here’s my number, Goyo.”

“…?”

Goyo blinked as she looked at the business card.

[Seongjo Daily

Executive Director Park Seo-hwa

010-XXXX-XXXX]

It was a simple business card with just her name and number written on white paper, but Goyo couldn’t bring herself to accept it. She didn’t understand why Park Seo-hwa was giving her the card.

“I thought you might feel uncomfortable if I asked for your number. So I’m entering my number instead.”

Goyo hesitated even to accept a single business card. Seeing her hesitation, Park Seo-hwa tilted her head.

“Is it that you can’t even accept my number?”

“Well, it’s not that.”

Receiving the business card wasn’t the issue. Every time a new phone number was added, it felt like an additional burden was placed on her.

Kwon Jae-heon hadn’t just given her a new phone for free either.

‘It’s better to answer my phone before it rings three times.’

‘Three times is a bit much…’

‘Is that a difficult request? There shouldn’t be a reason not to answer.’

Both Yi-taek and Yoon-gun would make a fuss if she took too long to answer their calls. Knowing someone’s phone number came with a certain obligation and interference.

“It’s nothing serious. Just contact me if Park Jeong-hoon bothers or harasses you. I’ll take care of him; he’s not a bad guy, but if he gets involved with Kwon Jae-heon, he loses his mind. Director Kwon doesn’t even pay him any mind, but he’s got this rivalry in his head, and it gives me a headache.”

“…I didn’t know that.”

“Goyo, he won’t give up easily. He impulsively got married, you know. He was so obsessed with stealing Kwon Jae-heon’s woman… With the first button fastened wrong, how could he live properly?”

Park Seo-hwa mentioned Park Jeong-hoon’s ex-wife, Kang Gyu-ri, who was also Kwon Jae-heon’s former fiancée. Just from the brief mention, it seemed there was a complicated story between them.

“It seems uncomfortable.”

“Is there any reason for me to feel uncomfortable?”

She denied it, but Goyo’s stiff expression and bitter tone spoke volumes about her feelings.

“Talking about an ex of a lover is always uncomfortable. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

“….”

“I genuinely mean it when I say to contact me if Jeong-hoon bothers you. He has a more persistent nature than he seems, so he won’t back down quietly.”

“…Okay.”

After saying all that, she couldn’t refuse to take the business card.
