2. With a name like amanda...
3. I was expecting a dowdy older housekeeper type...
4. With a gray bun and sensible shoes...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. Certainly not the twenty-something blonde who shows up in a cute sundress...
2. With a dhanel bag slung over her shoulder.
3. "Ji yeon-ssi?"
4. "Yes. Amanda, I assume?"
5. "You do need a wardrobe, don't you?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. Her gaze travels down my body, taking in kir's baggy clothes...
2. And she bites her lip.
3. "Ran said you'd need something to borrow for today."
4. "Ran?"
5. "Lee ki ran? The woman whose home you're staying in."
1. Even her name is sexy.
2. She hadn't exactly given me a fake name after all.
3. "Most of her her staff calls her ms. Lee."
4. "But she's just ran to me."
5. Interesting.
6. "Go, change!"
7. I wonder what else she is to kir. She's tiny and gorgeous...
8. With her pale skin and blonde curls... I feel self-concscious in her presence.
10. We spend the afternoon in various boutique shops, where I try on and purchase jeans, shorts, sundress and tops....
12. All on lee ki ran's gold card that amanda whips out at every transaction.
3. We aleady have several full shoppping bags of clothes and are at our last stop of the day..
5. ...a lingerie boutique for some much needed bras and panties.
6. "This looks good..."
7. "Ji yeon."
8. "Ran favours dark color."
1. I can feel my stomach twists at her implied familiarity with the woman I'm currently sharing a bed with.
2. I want to argue, to tell her it's not like that between me and her, but instead...
3. I drop the forgotten undergarment into the bin and continue looking.
4. From the corner of my eye, I can see her eyeing me suspiciously.
5. Maybe that was a test, and I've just answered her question about my relationship with kir without saying a single word.
6. Oh well, I do have a sexual relationship with her and there'll be no sense hiding it.
7. It's not lost on me that she's likely my best source of information on kir.
1. I mean, geez, I didn't even know her full name before she'd told me. I wondrered hwat else I could get her to let slip.
2. "How did you say you knew ran?"
3. "She was kind of vague on the details."
4. "What did kir tell you about me?"
5. "She said that you'd be staying for awhile and that you'd need pretty much everything..."
6. "Listen, ji yeon, I know it's not my place to pry..."
1. "But if you're in some kind of trouble, if you need anything...even a friend to listen, I'm happy to help."
2. I suppose it did sound suspicious. I showed up out of the blue without a stitch of clothing to spare.
3. "No, it's nothing like that. Just a fresh start."
4. I smile, trying to lighten the mood.
5. "Well, the offer stands. And I know ran better than anyone. It's not like her to just move a woman in."
6. "It's my turn to ask."
7. "Who's minah?"
1. "How long have you worked for her?"
2. I want to inquire about exactly what her role is, but I'm not sure if there's a polite way to word it.
1. "Oh gosh, ran and I have quite the history. Where do I start?"
2. I wonder what she means.
3. Have they slept together? Are they currently sleeping together?
4. I don't know why it hasn't occured to me before, but kir has no obligation to be faithful to me.
5. "Mmm, let's see. I've been her personal assistant for..."
1. "6 years now. I began at her office as a receptionist but our personalities just clicked..."
2. "And I started working for her personally a short time after that."
3. "Having someone she can trust in her home and private life is important to her."
4. The truth is, I don't know her at all.
1. It's weird to think that I know what she looks like naked, but I don't actually know her.
2. I want to.
3. Why is she so successful at such a young age and why in the world did she go to that auction in the first place.
4. "Amanda?"
5. "Hm?"
6. "Who's minah?"
1. "Ehm..."
2. "What?"
3. "Mmm..."
4. "She told you about minah?!"
5. Shit. Her accusatory tone and icy stare are too much. That, or my conscious is too big.
6. "Not exactly. Her brother stopped by this morning, and her name might have come up."
1. Frustrated
2. "She's not been herself since minah. She did a fucking number on her!"
3. I can't really imagine someone hurting the ever in control lee ki ran.
4. But then again, I have no idea of her past, just like she has no idea of mine.
5. But I intend to find out.
6. "Thanks for everything today."
7. She's calm now
1. "Of course. As a friend of ran's, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other."
2. "And seriously, I meant what I said before if you need anything..."
3. "A friend to grab coffee with or drinks, or just someone to talk to when she drives you insane."
4. "Call me."
5. I wonder what she means about her driving me insane.
1. I'm alone now.
3. I feel a little awkward placing my clothes on the empty side of the closet once occupied by minah's stuff.
4. But maybe that's what kir intends bringing me here, for me to replace whatever bad memories she left behind.
6. If that's what she wants, I'll do it.
1. Heaven knows I'm runing from my own baggage too.
2. I'm here for the money, but as knot that had permanently taken up residence in my stomach lessens with each passing hour...
3. I realize that's not the only thing this new way of life can provide me.
4. Being here, in this mansion, brings a sense of relief...
5. From the constant worry and heartache I live with every day.
1. I miss my family, well, mostly my mom and of course I worry about her health...
2. ...but it's not relentlessly churning in my head like before.
3. I should feel guilty at this realization, but honestly, it's a relief.
1. When did I fall asleep?
2. "Uh?"
1. "Unnie... Welcome back."
2. "How was golf?"
3. "Hot."
4. "How were things with marta today?"
5. "I trust you got everything you needed?"
6. "Yes, thank you."
7. "Amanda's... Nice."
8. "She is."
1. "She's a regular around here. She's in charge of my household staff and does any personal work I need her to as well."
2. "Are...are you..."
3. "Are you sleeping with her?"
4. "I don't think that's any of your business, ji yeon."
1. "Sorry."
2. "Do you remember what I said to you just before I left today?"
3. "Umm?"
4. "Yes!"
1. What is she thinking? I mean...are we going to....
2. "Then, take off your dress."
3. "Okay..."
4. I can feel her eyes on me.
1. "Ready."
2. "We're going to try new "Stuff"."
3. What does she mean with new "Stuff"?!
