She ran after him but she was too late, he had already entered a cab and left. She quickly stopped a car and chase after him immediately.
"Hope there is going to be free food because I'm so damn hungry after going round everywhere and doing all these stuffs". Taner said grumpily touching her stomach.
Mia couldn't help herself and burst out laughing staring at her, "don't worry, and there is going to be more than enough food for our dear glutton".
"Why do I feel you are talking about something entirely different, what do you mean?" she looked at her warily.
"You will find out later, don't think too much with your pretty little head". Mia replied smiling mischievously.
'She is definitely up to something evil, but who cares, I'm getting free food', she thought to herself.
"Could you please stop working for once? At least just for three hours". Hangul said frustrated as he stared as his friend busy typing furiously.
"No". Jiseok said not bothering to look at him as he continued typing on his laptop without caring about his objection.
Seeing him ignoring him like this, Hangul got so angry and closed the laptop.
BANG
(Author: way to go dude, how do you want to die
Hangul: it was a mistake)
The sound echoed in the car. Hangul didn't care if his friend was going to kill him, what matters is that he has done what he wanted to do.
Feeling so brave now with the rush of adrenaline, as if that was not enough, he took the laptop and kept it away from him. He didn't mind the lasers and smoke coming from his friend.
Driver, 'you are so brave Mr. Hangul, you really are seeking your own grave'.
"Stop the car". Jiseok finally spoke coldly, commanding the driver. Now, after the adrenaline died down immediately, Hangul was terrified, he looked at the driver through the rearview mirror who had cold sweat running down his face.
"Are you deaf? I said stop the car!!!!" Jiseok roared. The scared driver immediately stopped the car. Jiseok got out of the car with his phone. Hangul quickly ran after him seeing him walking away.
"Seok seok seok!!!" Hangeul yelled running after him. Jiseok didn't bother turning back or responding but continued walking increasing his pace. Hangul continued running after him and finally caught up with him.
"Seok I'm sorry, I was very stupid for taking your laptop even though I knew how much of a workaholic you are, please let's go back to the car". Hangul pleaded.
Jiseok scoffed as he listened to him, 'is he insulting me or apologizing'.
"Did you just call me a workaholic?"
"Nooo!! How can you be a workaholic! You even sacrificed your time for me". He quickly changed his mouth. He had worked hard to convince him to agree on going to the date, he just can't see his hard work going to waste.
Jiseok stared at him for a while coldly before walking back to the car. Hangul who was already thinking of another plan was surprised and happy. He quickly ran back too and entered the car.
Lu Ling finally reached his destination. He paid the driver and came down from the cab. He was now standing in front of Disston, the company Fenton is working. This was is very last option right now and he prayed he would succeed.
He still couldn't believe that he was actually cheated by his friend he trusted a lot even though Ji-woo never trusted him and warned him about Fenton.
He walked inside the company and went directly to the receptionist.
"Hi Mr. Lu, are you here to see Mr. Fenton?" the receptionist asked him smiling. She was familiar with him because this was not the first time that he came to the company to look for Fenton, and she had seen him a lot of times with Fenton.
"Yes Jessica".
"I'm sorry but Fenton resigned, I thought you must have heard the news". She replied.
"When did he resign?" he asked with deep fear. He was already on the verge of losing his mind.
"He resigned six months ago, and I have not heard from him or seen him since then, the last time I saw him he was happy that he hit the land was traveling out of the country, I thought you knew since you guys are friends". Jessica looked at him surprised.
Lu Ling felt like he couldn't breathe. He remembered something and stared at her, "Weren't the two of you engaged and preparing for marriage seven months ago?"
Jessica felt tears rushing down from her eyes like her dam were broken; she looked at him with pain and answered,
"That cheap bastard broke off our engagement before he left, he said....he was just using me and had the gut to thank me and paid me for my services, but I through the money in his face". She broke down crying bitterly as she remembered everything like it happened just yesterday.
Lu Lin couldn't believe his ears. He never thought his friend was so evil and wouldn't spare anyone, now he finally understood what betrayal felt like. He looked at the pitiful Jessica who was crying bitterly and saw that both of them were used mercilessly and victims of his vicious scheme.
He hugged her, consoling her until she finally stopped crying.
"Sorry about that, I ruined your shirt". She said guiltily.
"Don't worry about it, is the manager around?" Lu ling asked.
"Yes I'll give him a call to let him know you want to see him".
"I'm sorry for what Fen did to you Jess, you deserve someone better" he said. He had known Jessica for over ten years now and they were great friends. He felt somehow guilty because he was the one who introduced Fenton to her.
Jessica nodded gratefully, "it's not your fault Ling, he was just a good actor and we both became his victims".
After some few minutes, the manger asked Lu Ling to come.
"Hey Ling, what a pleasant surprise!!" Sejun happily welcomed him.
"What's wrong you look very pale?"
Lu Ling stared at Sejun and told him everything that happened.
"I can't believe he coined you too, we have been receiving complaint about it before he resigned". Sejun spoke angrily just thinking of how Fenton had the guts to scam his own friend.
"Is there anything you can do for me to get my money back, I need it urgently?" he asked with little hope. The manager looked at him sadly with pity.
"So there is really nothing you can do?"
