"Hold on, I need to go to the washroom before we go." I tell Chan as I excuse myself and head straight into the washroom.
Going into one of the stalls, I hear a few other women walk out of the other stalls around me, hearing three very familiar voices, one of them making me grit my teeth.
"You know that really handsome guy we saw in the elevator this morning? Who was that hunk?" Rina asked.
"You mean Mr. Lee? He's one of the thirteen highest men in power at Royal One-Seven Company," Kyungmin, Chaewon's former apprentice, explained "Why do you ask, Ri?"
"Because he was such a babe. Did you see his arms? Or his ass? He's built like an Adonis. Do you know if he's single?"
My fists were starting to clench as I continued to listen. Sure, I won't deny that Chan was super handsome with a nearly god-like body, but I can't accept how she talks about him like that.
How dare she talk about Chan that way? He's not some sex object, he's a person!
"You're out of luck, Nana~" a shrug could be heard in Sumi's laid back voice "He's engaged to Ms. Rose, the CEO who took over for her father two years ago. Their wedding is this October."
I rolled my eyes. I regret agreeing to hire Soohyun's cousin. As much as I love Soohyun, Sumi is such a slacker.
"Well, I guess I'm going to have to show him that there's more... desirable options in the company, such as me." Rina said confidently "If a man is walking around looking like that while engaged to the CEO, she must be so boring and timid. Most heiress' are, and maybe he's looking for a side piece."
I grew more infuriated when she said that. How low is she to seduce an engaged man for her own personal gain? That is so her!
'Boring and timid'- bitch, this isn't a movie! Not to mention it's completely ironic.
Her entire personality is based off her achievements from high school and lavish lifestyle- a lifestyle supported by her parent's money!
"Keep your voice down, Ri! You never know if one of Ms. Rose's team is here!"
"Like who? Yuuki? She's all talk and no action. I could tell she's the type to chicken out of confrontation."
I quietly scoff upon hearing her remark - Someone's projecting.
"Ms. Ishikawa will have your head for saying that! She has a history of making people pay for underestimating her."
"Psh, she doesn't scare me! If anything, she only scares me with how little makeup she uses when she looks like... that."
Taking a deep breath to compose myself, I finally walk out of my stall and make eye contact with all of them in the mirror in front of us "Good evening ladies."
Kyungmin and Sumi bowed while they left hastily, taking Rina with them. Washing and drying my hands, I exit the bathroom to see all three of them are ogling Chan and whispering, making me roll my eyes as they continued to talk about his looks. Meanwhile I can tell Chan's feeling uneasy from the unwanted eyes on him.
Ignoring them, I decided to show them who's his fiancée. Who he truly belongs to.
"Channie~!" I say in a sweet tone while walking over to him and kissing his cheek "I didn't keep you waiting, did I?"
He looked at me all surprised and speechless as I giggled "Sorry I took so long, I was doing a bit of a touch up with my lipstick. I hope you like it."
"Han Jimin?!" Rina shouted as I looked at her all innocently "Why are you kissing the CEO's fiancée? Are you trying to mooch off another rich man like in high school?"
