Nari sighs and walked to an empty chair, she sat on it and crossed her hand in front of her chest. She was ready to put Jiwoo in her place, she was tired of pretending to be a naive girl just because was trying to make a good impression for someone that was not even worth it.
"And so?".
Jiwoo eyes swiftly turned to Nari, astound by her arrogance, her lips twitched as she slowly stood up to her feet, walking close to Nari, looking unbothered.
"What did you just say?". Her jaw clenched in anger.
Nari tilted her head. "I said what is going to happen now that I'm late?".
Jiwoo hastened her steps towards Nari, as she got close to her, she raised her hand to strike her across the face, but Nari held her hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you". Nari pushed her hand away and stood up.
She walked in slow steps around the room, with so many paintings hanging on the wall. She smiled admiring it, one of an abstract drawing caught her attention. She walked close to it and smiled.
It was a painting of a girl holding a baby, whom she swaddle tightly. Nari smiled and brushed her finger through the painting.
"It's beautiful". She mumbled but enough for Jiwoo to hear.
"Get your filthy hands off that". Jiwoo snapped. Nari hands paused in the air, she scoffs and looked at Jiwoo.
"Can you get away from that, I don't want it to get missing when you're leaving". Jiwoo smiled, she goes to the chair Nari had recently sat on, she picked up her bag from the chair and threw it on the floor, taking a sanitizer she sprayed the area before sitting.
"I'm sorry, I just hate it when something is dirty". Jiwoo smirked. "Anyways, I see you're getting chubby, we'll what can I say, you're living off my son's money".
"I really am". Nari conceded. "Well I mean, I'm obviously doing him a favor, so I should get something in return don't you think?".
Jiwoo raised a brow at Nari, followed by a light chuckled.
"Doing him a favor?". She scoffs and leaned back on the chair. "Can you remind me of what you're talking about because I can see you're all delusional". Jiwoo brows were raised as she waits for Nari's answer.
"I'm carrying his child Mrs Park".
Jiwoo sat unfazed by her words. She knew Nari was pregnant, but what does that have to do with her doing him a favor. She knew Nari is from a poor background but being dumb is shocking to her.
"And am I supposed to be on knees thanking you for that?".
Nari tilted her head and smiled. "Shouldn't you be doing that?".
Jiwoo's eyes darkened in anger, she stood up from the chair.
"I dare you to repeat that one more t-.."
"You know your son is partially unable to produce kids". Nari cut her short. Jiwoo freezed on her spot, her mouth tied in shock, she could not say anything. Nari smiled, it was the reaction she had expected.
"What the hell are you talking about!?". Jiwoo's lips curled in anger, talking in a hushed tone.
Nari slowly made her way towards Jiwoo.
"You know your precious son has a medical problem were there is only a two percent possibility of him producing a child, and that two percent is~". She placed her hand on her stomach, locking eyes with Jiwoo.
Jiwoo could not say a word, she was tongue tied, wondering how Nari got to know about the secret she had been hiding for years.
"Are you surprised Mrs Park?". Nari paused. "You know that's the reason you haven't gone to the old man to protest about me being with your son, but rather you make my life a living hell".
"Who knows if you didn't go, sleeping around like your co actresses do and you got pregnant but lie that it was Elvis, his two percent will never be wasted in you". Jiwoo spat back.
Nari chuckled at her stupid speculations.
"Even if I were to do that, as long as I am pregnant and say it's your son's, you're still going to let me keep the baby, you know the old man is about handing his company over to one of his two grandsons, and you don't want him feeling discouraged in making Elvis president when he's impotent."
"Han Nari~!!". Jiwo screamed, her heart raced hearing the white lotus words.
"Park Jiwoo!". Nari screamed back, she was ready to put the old fool in her place. When she see Jiwoo was quietly shooting daggers at her, she continued.
"The old man wouldn't want his company ending with your precious son, Jiwoo, so you better cooperate with me, like I said I'm basically doing you all a huge favor, I also know that's the reason Elvis is keeping me my his side". Nari had to accept reality, even if Elvis loves her, he loves the baby more being that it is the only one he would ever be able to make.
"I'm not asking for much Jiwoo, I just want you to stop interfering with our relationship, if you can't be nice to me indoor then do so outdoors, I don't want the public having a bad impression on me, I would like to keep the healthy popularity I have managed to build, so do the needful".
Jiwoo remained quiet, her fingers clenched in anger, she had never hated a human like she hates Nari. Why did Elvis have to go around sleeping with lowlifes and ended up with the bag of trash in front of her, this fake b-tch.
After keeping the secret for years to protect him, to protect his crown, Elvis had to insert in a b-tch like Nari. She was devastated.
"What if I choose not to act like a loving mother-in-law outdoors".
"Then I'll kill the child". Came Nari's curt reply. She was so unbothered about saying a word like that, she never needed a child anyways, but to be with Elvis she had to.
"You know Mrs Park, I don't need this thing". She points at her slightly bulging stomach. "I never had a good relationship with my parents because why did they have to make me suffer just because they could not work hard to make money, instead I was born in a home with church rats, because of them I had to do so many dirty things just to belong in this judgemental society, well they died and you know I was the most happiest person on earth". She paused and breathed.
"After I began having something in my pocket and after this fame and riches and of course the man I happened to get, I made up my mind not to bear a child, because now that I am living in money I would not want a nasty child enjoying what I couldn't when I was younger, I want to enjoy all of it alone, but thinking about it, if I don't have a child then I'm slightly unworthy to Elvis, I had to do everything as possible to be with his child, so if you try to do anything stupid, I will take this thing out".
Jiwoo was starting to see a completely different behavior from Nari, she looked like a psychopath.
"Don't you think he'll divorce you when that happens?".
"Don't you think he'll forever be childless Mrs Park". Nari turned a deaf ears to her question.
"Even if he remarries he would not be able to bear you a grandchild, so you better cooperate with me, you know what will happen if the old man finds out about your sons problem, he's pretty quick at getting information on anything".
Nari picked her bag with Jiwoo had thrown on the floor, she smirked.
"Think about it MOM". With that she left the studio, leaving Jiwoo speechless, her eyes fixed on the door Nari had just went through.
Her knuckles turning white as her fingers were ball in a fist.
