Sold? Oh Please. Chapter 111

"What the hell have you done?" Katherine gripped Jessie upper arm and shook her as though sense would flow into her impulsive friend.
Jessie stared at Devon with a small smirk, playing on her plush red lips. Devon raised his brow at their reactions, with the smug look on this woman face and the mortified on Katherine's it seemed he was supposed to say something?
"I'm I supposed to know who you are?" He asked.
Jessie blinked and Katherine look of mortification turned to utter shock. No one, absolutely no one did not know who Jessie Marin was, in this country. Even if you didn't know her face, you would definitely know about her but it was rare to find someone that didn't know her face. After all she was the nation's first love! No one forgets their first love.
"You don't know who she is?" Katherine asked again just to be sure she heard right, and Devon sincerely shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, does my face seem like a 'doesn't seem bad'?" She said with a frown.
"Well if it doesn't seem bad doesn't that mean it's good?" He scratched his head. "I'm not sure what you want exactly." He sighed after he saw Jessie features fall into slight rage.
Katherine jabbed him, and smiled. "She's beautiful isn't she, breathing taking even." She said through clenched teeth, looking up at him.
"Yeah well I guess, but in my opinion your more breathing taking Dr. Park." He stated bluntly.
That was it, she was going to kill this man! If they could see, they would definitely see the smoke that was coming out of Jessie ears.
Katherine eyes widened as she looked into Devon's eyes, did he just say she was more beautiful than Jessie in his opinion? No one, absolutely no one had said something so nice, and she felt funny. She wasn't an ugly woman, not even average. She knew she was good looking no doubt there. But for someone like her that never dated before and had never heard such strong affirmations from the man she longed for most of her life, her self esteem tended to have dimmed over the years. But she never thought she would ever be compared to the nation's first love, worse... she was more beautiful?

Jessie on the other hand was burning up with fury, Katherine was a beautiful woman no doubt and while she didn't want to feel proud or anything, wasn't she the nation's first love? Hell this guy didn't even know who she was. She was always humble as a celebrity, she would introduce herself everywhere she went because she did want assume everyone knew who she was, but then again they did. So why not him? Had she really fallen so far? Unless...
"Really? So you like Katherine then?" Jessie asked bluntly.
Devon opened his mouth to answer before he stopped himself.
"Where are you going?"
"Song memorial hospital." Devon replied curtly.
His friend brows furrowed in question. "But we are at Song memorial hospital."
"No, the one in the capital. I'm going to see Dr. Park." He said with a smile.
"Dr. Park? Weren't just there a few days ago? Is there something wrong with the patient?"
Devon poured, "not that I know off, no" he shook his head.
"So why are you going there?"
"I already told you, to see Dr. Park." Devon said.
His friends eyebrow rose, normally ofcourse at this point one would assume he likes Dr. Park, but the Devon Geum he knew didn't like people, he had known him for eleven years and he always said relationships where an absolute waste of time. Not that it stopped women from throwing themselves at him.
"Is she threatening you?" His friend asked.
"What? No! I want to see her." He said rather forcefully.
"Why?"
"Because I've come to the realisation of my feelings for her." He stated matter of factly.
His friend went into a coughing fit, no way! "So what are you going to say to her?"

Devon rolled his eyes, "I'm going to tell her I like her." He sighed in frustration.
"Don't do that!" His friend scolded. "Absolutely don't do that. You'll definitely scare her away. Women are like bread doughs, you have to knead her and knead until she's soft and right then you bake! Do you understand?"
Devon opened his mouth then closed it again, shaking his head.
His friend drew in a large amount of air and spoke again. "You have to make her like you first, even if it's just a little."
"How do I do that?"
"Oh my friend, you've finally grown." His friend laughed deeply. "Make her comfortable around you, by visiting frequently. It should be easy for you, women throw themselves at you. But no matter what do tell her you like her."
Devon blinked at Jessie them looked at Katherine. "I can't tell you that right now." He replied.
Jessie jaw dropped and she scowled at him, what kind of person is this?
"Well then, I will see again Dr. Park. In maybe three to four days. Goodbye." He bowed and walked away.
The two women stared at him walk away with two different expressions but they read the same thing, disbelief.
"Who the hell is that?" Jessie asked Katherine as she lead them to her office.
"Dr. Devon Geum, he is a genius with an IQ of almost 200." Katherine stated.
"Ugh, I hate his type, always did. I never did well in school so those geniuses that did so without effort always made me mad. That must be why his head is so out of it!" She exclaimed.
Katherine fought the urge to laugh, who knew Jessie would be so affected by his statement. He was basically a hot nerd that knew nothing apart from his work.
"Oh I really don't like him!" She exclaimed again as she sat down.
"Because he said I was prettier than you?" Katherine teased.
"... ah" Jessie sighed not wanting to come of as rude or proud.
"I'm just teasing" Katherine laughed when she saw Jessie serious expression. "It natural you'd feel annoyed you so used to being the most beautiful person in the room." She consoled Jessie. Smiling mischievously again she teased "until now."
"Hey!" Jessie laughed.
"So why are you here? I mean I missed you and all but this is strange? Jason letting you come out here after what happened." Katherine asked.
"Oh, Jason wasn't the one that sent me, it was Paul. He said you too had a fight?"
