Chapter 164: Summons
The woman smiled broadly, her lips curling up in a playful grin.
"Oh dear, look at me, forgetting to introduce myself. My name is Jang Mi-sook. You can call me 'Aunt,' but I wouldn't mind if you called me 'Noona' either."
"..."
"Hoho! Was that too forward?"
Cha Eui-jae slightly opened his mouth, then, without realizing it, raised his hand to check the gas mask. He was glad his face was hidden. He bit down on his lip. As soon as he heard the word "Aunt," he felt like the ground had just dropped out from under him.
"..."
Cha Eui-jae found himself studying Jang Mi-sook's face. Her perfectly normal hands too. Of course, the woman in front of him bore no resemblance to his aunt. That's how it should be.
"Come on, let's get going. He's waiting. Honestly, he's got no patience, not even a speck of it..."
Grumbling, Jang Mi-sook turned and began walking. Cha Eui-jae was about to follow her as if in a trance, but his feet suddenly stopped. His face scrunched up behind the gas mask. The thing that was holding his feet in place was none other than the thought of the repercussions if he disobeyed Lee Sa-young's orders.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Lee Sa-young, not at all. It's just...
'Isn't he going to give me an earful for acting on my own again...'
So hard to placate a sulking Lee Sa-young!
