The next morning while having breakfast, Ryan have been overly caring. Loading her plate with foods and sometimes feeding her. Right now, she has her mouth full as she watched him load her plate. He would load her plate and feed her but he won't eat. She couldn't even speak because her mouth was so full. Finally, she got rid of the food in her mouth and said, "Ryan, why are you not eating?"
"I'm fine" he told her and brought the meat to her mouth. "Ahh.."
"I won't eat if you won't eat." she crossed her arms, and puffed her cheeks, so he had no choice but to eat.
"See, I'm eating" he said, and attempted to feed her again. But she took another chopsticks and began feeding him. His lips pressed into a thin line, thinking he doesn't deserve this right now. But he opened his mouth anyways and collected the food. She smiled brightly, her eyes twinkled. And she too filled his mouth with food. He was having a hard time but he managed. Is this what they call sweet revenge?
While they were eating, Ryan suddenly started smirking as he fed her. She wondered why he had the mischievous smile but she couldn't ask now. Her mouth was loaded. The sound of heels clanking ferociously in the floor echoed through the hall, and his smirk widened, before they disappeared as Zariel barged in.
"Young master!!" she yelled out, and he lazily looked at her.
"What?"
"I just went to get a few stuffs, but I didn't have access to my credit card. What did you do?" she demanded.
"Ah..that? I blocked it" he said nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.
"WHY?!" she screamed on her lungs.
"Didn't I tell you I'll make you pay? Sure I was supposed to do something worse than that"
"What did I do to you?! I need my credit card!"
"That would be until further notice, Ms Jung" he smiled at her.
"Yah!! Do you have to put me through so much embarrassment? Was it my fault that you made her angry?"
"No" he shook his head "But next time, when Ari is angry with me, you wouldn't side with her and make my life a living hell. I am your boss, you should side with me"
Arianna's eyes darted from Zariel to Ryan. He's being a bully again. Sigh...poor Ms Jung.
"Yah! You little... Aish!!" she cursed out loud, ruffling her hair. She so badly wanted to pull his hair hard.
"By the way, what's the meaning of this?" Ryan asked as he pointed the meat towards her. "It's not as soft as I want. It's supposed to melt when it enters the mouth. You're stressing my Ari here"
Her chest went up and down as she breathe through her mouth, glaring hard at him. "Yah! Do you realise I'm older. Don't let me beat you up. Unblock my credit card. Now!"
Arianna pressed her lips together to stop herself from laughing. She wanted to roll in the floor right now and laugh out loud. These two... Ryan's head tilted to the side as he stared at her, amused.
"You want to beat me? Gosh.." he shook his head. "Chairman Park!" he called and the next moment he appeared.
"What?" he asked.
"Did you hear what she said to me? She said she would beat me if I don't unblock her credit card. I should punish her for spouting nonsense, right?"
Zariel bit her lips "Young master, I didn't mean what I said"
"She probably didn't mean it" Leonel tried to help, and the man's gaze darkened.
"Are you siding with her now?"
"No. I wouldn't"
"Good. So, Ms. Jung, I think I want to change the interior of this house. Make it more bright. Add a few antiques, and paintings. And, all this would be done without your credit card. You're not meant to give her money chairman Park" he made it clear.
Zariel's lips were trembling "Yah! I'm sorry"
"I don't forgive so easily ,you know that" he smirked at her.
"What did you say?" Finally, Aria came to the rescue. His smirk disappeared and he looked at her. He gulped at her sharp gaze. "You don't forgive? Should I go angry at you for real now?"
"Aria.."
"Why are you being a bully? What did she do to deserve such treatment?" Zariel wiped her fake tear as Aria spoke.
"Didn't you hear, she wanted to beat me?"
"And so what?" she slammed her hands on the table and they all flinched. "You would unblock her credit card at once "
"What?"
"You heard me. If not, I'll punish you too" she spoke seriously, but inwardly she wanted to laugh. Ryan glared hard at Zariel and she sniffed, blinking her eyes at him. While on the other hand, Leonel was really trying to hold his laughs. This was really funny.
"Fine" he spoke through clenched teeth "I'll unblock it"
"Thank you, young master" Zariel said as she did a quick bow. The angered man stood up that his chair fell backwards and he walked away.
"Where are you going?" Aria asked.
"I have some work" he replied without turning back.

Meanwhile, at Jana's home, she stared at Shin woo while he ate breakfast, with her hands clasped under her jaw. She was wondering how to tell him about the demon. Ever since that day she fell into the river, she hadn't had rest of mind. She wanted to tell him but the words were afraid to leave her mouth.
"Why aren't you eating, Jana?" Shin woo asked her.
"I...I want to tell you something" she spoke, biting on her lips.
"Okay"
Jana took in a deep breath. "You... remember when I acted like a total different person?"
"Of course, I would never forget that time. You gave me headaches several times" he chuckled.
"Well, it was because... I was... under a demon's control" she spoke, and he stopped eating that instant. He lifted his eyes and looked at her and she continued speaking.
"He wanted to use me to kill someone, and since I refused he caused my nightmares and made me act differently. Recently, he... he almost killed me. I would have been dead by now if it wasn't for my friend who saved me"
"Wait, wait. Hold on" he stopped her from speaking further "You mean to say, a demon have been meeting with you, caused your several nightmares, asked you to kill someone, and even almost killed you. And I'm just knowing, now?"
"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't know how to tell you. And you would always say I should go to the hospital"
"Goodness, Jana! How could you give me that silly excuse to keep this away from me? What if you had died? What would I have done? How would I even know what happened to you?" he yelled.
"Im sorry. I was scared that maybe you wouldn't believe me. I'm sorry, brother" she pleaded.
Shin woo took in breaths to calm himself. He looked at his wristwatch and sighed. "When I get back we'll talk about this. I'm running late so I have to go" he stood up and she could only follow him with her pleading eyes. "Stay indoors until I get back, you hear me?!"
"Yes" her voice was low, as she looked down at her hands. Sighing he felt. He was angry, but didn't want to show it. He knew how much she suffered those nightmares, and of course everyone would be scared. He knew himself, he wouldn't believe so easily and just as she said, he would definitely ask her to go to a hospital. But today he believed, because he had seen the wounds on her neck a few days ago. He got into the car and drove away immediately.
Jana sat with pursed lips, as she stared at the foods on the table. He didn't even eat much. She should have told him earlier. Sighing, she began to eat. When...
"Still alive, huh..."
