Chapter 7 His secret

The guy didn't realize what was coming his way until he heard 'boom' at the back of his neck.

Violet punched him!

A real hard one!

The guy groaned as he held his head tight before turning to look at Violet.

She was breathing heavily as she glared at him.

"Shor-" a slap from Violet stopped the rest of the words.

His eyes widened as he looked at Violet like she's some psycho.

"What's your problem?? Why are you hitting me??" He found himself asking.

"You're my problem! How dare you call me a shortie??!" Violet yelled angrily, and the guy smirked.

"Because you're one." He said.

"I guess you haven't learn your lesson. Call me that one more time and lose four teeth... Just try me." Violet said as she took a step closer to the guy.

The guy looked down at her since he's taller. He measured her height and it stopped at his chest which made him chuckle.

"Really?? Will you be able to beat me when you're this short??" He asked with a tone of mockery.

Violet felt her blood boiling as she folded her fists in rage. She was glaring hatefully at the guy who was still smiling stupidly.

His mockery smile got her more infuriated and she raised her hand to hit him...

"Vee!" Her hand stopped halfway in the air when Jae-kyung's tiny voice penetrated into her ears.

She looked at her left side and Jae-kyung was really there, staring back at her.

"Jae-kyung." Violet called softly as she dropped her hand slowly. She completely forgot about the guy.

A smile appeared on her face and she rushed to Jae-kyung.

"I missed you." She pouted and Jae-kyung smiled as they hugged tightly.

"You should know that I missed you more, darling." Jae-kyung said, and Violet blushed greatly at that.

The guy stood there as he watched them in surprise.

If only Jae-kyung knew...

Soon, they broke the hug with smile on their faces.

"I've been looking for you since Ju-kyung left the house. I was actually passing by when I saw you with that guy." Jae-kyung said and that was when Violet remembered that she wanted to deal with him.

"Oh! That dunce!" Violet fumed as she glared at the guy who was still standing there.

Jae-kyung looked ahead and her eyes widened when she saw the guy.

"Sherlock...!" She gasped.

"What? You know him??" Violet asked as she looked away from the guy to Jae-kyung.

"That's--- Sherlock..."

"Sherlock?? Who's he?? How did..." Violet paused as she remembered something.

Suddenly her eyes grew wider as if to pop out of their sockets.

"Don't tell me he's the-"

"Yes it's him... Ju-kyung's manager." Jae-kyung cut her off.

"Jeez!" Violet bit her lower lip.

Neither of them said a word more as they kept their gaze on Sherlock.

His phone rang and he answered it.

"What's taking you so long Sherlock?! A while ago, you told me you're almost here, so what happened??" Ju-kyung yelled over the phone.

"I'm sorry Miss. Something actually happened but I'll be there soon." Sherlock said and Ju-kyung hung up.

"You should go now." Jae-kyung said and Sherlock nodded before walking away.

Surprised at the way he succumbed without hesitation, Violet looked at Jae-kyung who smiled.

"Why did you let him go like that? What if he tell on us to Ju-kyung??" Violet asked.

"He wouldn't dare to do that." Jae-kyung replied with a smile on her face.

"Why did you sound so sure??" Violet asked again.

"He has a secret that no one knows about, except me. So to save his @ss, he wouldn't dare to tell Ju-kyung." Jae-kyung said confidently.

Violet found herself smiling.

"Now I'm safe." She said.

"No, we're safe." Jae-kyung said back, and they both smiled as they locked hands.

"Where are we going now??" Jae-kyung asked.

"Anywhere. I literally came out because I was bored. I have no particular place in mind." Violet replied.

"Alright. Let's go to the pool. You know how to swim??" Jae-kyung asked, and Violet chuckled.

"Firstly, I don't know how to swim. Secondly, the cold is much, so how could you even think of swimming in this cold whether??" She asked.

"I just feel like swimming. And besides, the whether is cool. It's not cold, and neither is it warm." Jae-kyung explained, which got Violet rolling her eyes.

"I didn't ask for an explanation." She scoffed, and Jae-kyung laughed.

"Let's go to the sauna then." Jae-kyung suggested.

"That would be better." Violet agreed and they started walking while chatting along.

Ju-kyung was led in by Sherlock and two of her guards. They walked her to the VIP section where a man was already waiting for her.

The man sighted her coming and he quickly stood up to welcome her.

"Welcome Miss Ju-kyung. Please sit." The man said as he pulled out a chair for her.

Ju-kyung bowed slightly before sitting down in smile.

"You all should go. This is professional." The man said and the two guards left immediately.

The man raised his brows at Sherlock, who wasn't even looking his way.

"And you? Why are you still waiting??" He asked.

"Let him be. He's my manager and also my personal bodyguard, so he can't leave." Ju-kyung said, and the man scoffed silently.

"But this is about-"

"Can you just talk about what you called me here for??" Ju-kyung cut him short.

He heaved a sigh before bringing out a file from his suitcase.

"I'll make it short. This is a business proposal from my company. Be the face of G&G." He said and pushed the file to Ju-kyung.

"But I'm not using any of your products." Ju-kyung said, and the man nodded.

"I know. You're too pretty to ignore, so I want you for my company." The man said with a flirtatious look on his face.

He stood up and walked to Ju-kyung's side, totally ignoring Sherlock. He leaned closer to Ju-kyung who gave him a weird look.

Sherlock clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger as he watched the whole drama. He's trying so hard to calm himself.

"Your skin glows and you're always happy. Don't you think that makes you the perfect one for my company?? Yunno, Glee&Glow." The man winked while leaning more closer.

He tried touching Ju-kyung, but Sherlock grabbed his hand immediately and twisted it, breaking his pinky finger in the process.

"Arrggghhh!" The man yelped in pain as Sherlock twisted his finger more.

Ju-kyung stood up with a smirk on her face.

"The next time you try this shít with me, it'll be more than this." She spatted and grabbed her bag.

"Let's go Sherlock." She ordered and headed out of the place.

"Don't ever come close to her again if you love your life, got it?" Sherlock said.

"A-arasseo arasseo (yes yes)" The man said and Sherlock released his hand.

"Good." Sherlock said and adjusted his suit before walking out.

"Those two devils." The man cursed as he sat down gently.
