The Manipulated Villainess Chapter 13
Advertisement
The outdoors were a bit darker than the other night as the stars had lost their brightness due to the rain that started to pour just a while ago.
Amidst the atmosphere which drastically changed from a pleasant one to a cold one, Leon Jung sits still inside his car. He takes a look at some documents to pass time and his eyes repeatedly shifted to the exit of the restaurant which was opposite to his car.
She stayed inside much longer than he expected to be and it troubled him a bit. But when he realized that it was the first time she had ever asked him for a favour, he unconsciously smiled to himself. The smile was short-lived as the call he received the next second instantly dampened his mood.
"What is it?" He bluntly said with his tone as cold as ever.
"Young Master, where are you? Master is very angry and he wants you to come home at once." The female voice said to him from the other line.
He heavily sighed, being tired of how dramatic his life was. "I already told him during lunch that I have a date tonight. I'll be a little late."
"But -"
He hung up the call right away and threw his phone to the other seat next to him. "What an annoying old man!" He muttered to himself.

The atmosphere inside the private room of the restaurant was a bit tense than expected. Nicole, who was about to approach the door sighed at how unbelievable this actor was.
"I thought that our conversation last night was already finished." She crossed her arms and stared at him with confidence.
"Is that so?" He let out a light chuckle. "Then what about you running away with my coat?"
The coat! She had completely forgotten about it! She nervously clenched her fingers as she recalled what she had done to his coat.
"Where is my coat?" He confronted her when he saw that she had become less stubborn.
"That coat. I -I..." She struggled, thinking about how to explain to him.
"Just say it." He was quite amused by how she stuttered. She was so confident just seconds ago!
"I throw it away." She gasped as she immediately hung her head low. She was convinced that she wouldn't be meeting him again and she throws it out before she left for her office. How would she knew that they would meet again right away?!

"What?!" Aston exclaimed. Her response was beyond his expectations. Not even a day had passed but...she already threw away? Why does it feel like she can't wait to dispose his belonging?
"I apologize. I don't even know your identity and I thought that we won't be meeting each other again; so I just threw away in the morning." She explained but she noticed that he was not pleased with her answer. "I will compensate you for that." She added but it still seemed like nothing changed.
When Aston heard her, he was still not convinced but his mood instantly changed when an idea popped up in his mind. "Rather than compensating me, why don't you buy me a new one?" He suggested.
"It's not hard. I'll do that." She was quite glad to sort out the problem until she heard what he said next.
"I want you to do it personally. I mean we will go and pick out a new coat. You and me. Together." A devilish smile plastered his face once again.
"That's absurd! She retorted right away. " Are you crazy? We are not a nobody!" She reminded him of their status in society.
One was a top celebrity who created news and gossips wherever his foot landed; while the other was a Chairwoman of a top corporation with a famous fiance! If someone ever spots them, it would be the beginning of endless rumours.
"Then you must find out a way to do that. You're the one who created this mess." He simply replied as if the rumours wouldn't be harmful to him.
Nicole was in a dilemma. She rubbed her eyes while thinking of a solution to clear this mess. She should have never accepted that coat in the very first place! She inwardly scolded herself for being so thoughtless!
When she realized one good solution, she looked at the man and said, "I understand. I will make some preparations and inform you when it's ready." She grabbed her purse, ready to leave once again. "So, can I leave now? As I said before, I'm in a hurry."
"Of course. Goodbye then." He simply nodded his head, gesturing her as if he showed her the way to the door. As soon as she walked past him, a playful smile appeared on his face and said, "See you tomorrow." But he didn't even bother to look at her and the same goes for the woman.

She paused for a second when she heard him but she was too hurry to be bothered by his small talk. She moved her legs and exit the room while thinking, 'What an absurd man!'
She hurried out of the room and get inside her fiance's car while the man greeted him with a seemingly nonchalant face, not questioning her even once.
Aston stood next to the exit of the restaurant and stared at the woman who captured his attention much more than he could imagine. But when he saw her riding her fiance's car, it made him wondered if it's true that she loved him.
He shook his head reminding himself to push away the negative thought and tell himself to at least give a try. For the first time in his life, he felt jealous when he saw them riding the car together. He can't help but smiled at the foreign feeling and leave the place with his car.

When Leon arrived home, the atmosphere was just like he expected to be. The moment he saw his father's face, he could see the anger in his eyes. Maybe it's time for another drama!
The Prime Minister approached his son and with a huge force, he punched him on the left face! The strong force made Leon move a bit backwards involuntarily but he didn't looked at his father nor showed him an angry face!
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is it this time?"
The father stared at his son with disbelief. "Did you just asked me the reason? You humiliate me and defy me today! Didn't you have shame?!" He started yelling at his son.
"I don't do anything wrong today, Father. I only say that I need to concentrate on my upcoming activity." Leon replied to his father with a calm voice.
"You don't do anything wrong?" The Prime Minister scoffed. "You made a promise but I think you have no intention to keep it!"
"I never say that I won't marry Nicole. I only want you to give us more time! I will surely keep my promise, so please," The tone of his voice was raised higher and higher until it became a yell which made him pause his words. He looked at his father and with a calm and pleading voice, he continued, "Why don't you just let me breathe for a while? It's so suffocating that it choked me, Father."
"Have a good sleep." He slightly bowed and went upstairs before his father could say anything.
He made his way to his room and the moment he stepped inside his room, he takes off his coat and hardly threw in the floor. He sat on the couch and while he roughly loosened his tie, one young woman entered his room.
The woman scanned Leon's room and calmly pick up the coat which was lying on the floor and placed next to him.
"What's wrong, Young Master? Why did Master behave like that?" She asked him in a respectful tone. She was the one who called Leon about an hour ago.
"It's nothing." He replied as he poured himself a glass of whiskey which was on the table.
"Is it because of that woman?" She asked with her gaze fixed on him.
Leon who was about to take a sip of the alcohol hardly placed the glass on the table which created quite a noise. His sharp gaze landed on the young woman. "You have crossed the line, Shara." He warned her.
His cold gaze and threatening tone should be enough to send a shiver down the spine of his subordinate but this woman named 'Shara' was quite a stubborn and brave young woman.
"I apologize. But Young Master, I have to say this. Please don't provoke Master for just a woman. You know how dangerous he could be. Why would you take a risk for a woman who didn't even reciprocate your feelings? This is -"
"You will surely be punished if you say just one more word again." He warned her for the second time and when he noticed that she had kept her mouth shut, he commanded, "Leave."
The woman left his room right away before she needed to be told twice! She knows very well that provoking the Young Master was like enraging a lion and the end result was never a good one.....
