Two Worlds

Chapter 5

"Look at her! She looks so disgusting!" a woman complained while bragging her fake Louis Vuitton bag and iPhone 6 in front of  me"Fat and so poor! Ugh!"

"Finally going DOWN?! Still arrogant?!" another male shouted "Ex! Ex! Ex! Hahahahaha!"

"The next mistake you'll ever do is CALL YOUR EX!"

"Psycho! Hahahahaha!"

I took a deep breath and finished my work right after another person placed a bag of trash right in front of me. After I arrived home from work, I slammed the door shut. My back slid down the door and I held my knees closer to my chest. I couldn't hold myself and I cried so hard, quietly making sure no one can see or hear me cry...

"Honeybee... Please don't cry... I'm sorry..." I felt Yi-ge's hands lifting up my face to see him. He was kneeling down in front of me with his friends behind him. They had their faces down and look apologetic to me. Jong-oppa must've teleported me inside my apartment. I couldn't contain myself and held onto Yi-ge so hard and cried to his chest as if my life depends on it.

Flashback...

"If you wanna be successful, you have to market yourself first" Lu-ge lectured "Showcase your skills and expand your network to find potential business partners and buyers. So always work hard, understand? That's the secret to business"

I nod and wrote everything as much as I can. He's really kind and I'm really thankful to have met him. Though I don't know why Yi-ge wants me to meet up and get me to know his friends more, I decided to take this opportunity and learn from really successful people. And Lu-ge was one of them. After all, I'm acting as a billionaire's girlfriend so I have to understand how their world works. I also learned that he has a lot of business partners and he's a silent investor with a net worth that's on par with Yi-ge. That's really amazing.

"What drove you to success? How did you deal with all of these? What about the paparazzi?" I asked and he winked at me. He's so cool when he taught me things about how to run a company. There's a lot to learn and I feel honored that despite his busy schedule, he decided to give me time and teach me a lot about business. I wish I could be like him--- "Like what you see?" he smiled mischievously and I quickly collected myself.

"I heard you have fiance" I cut him off politely after remembering Hun-oppa telling me about Lu-ge's celebrity girlfriend. He told me that it's private so I decided to not ask anything. I like to keep things about me private as well so I kept my mouth shut. "Yep" he shrugged with a shy smile and waved his hand while ushering me to the small conference room connected to his office. I look back and saw the papers telekinetically flew back on his desk in a neat file while a pen remained in the air and signed all the papers needed to be signed.

I was so amazed. His telekinetic powers are so cool. Suddenly, I jumped when the door slammed opened and the same piercing eyes of Xi Min met mine once again. He looked at me from head to toe as if analyzing me so well. I felt uncomfortable but decided not to show it as if I don't really care. Lu-ge is very busy so my visit with him came short and I have to move forward with the next person, his best friend and the next CEO of the Xi Group of Companies, the eldest son of the Xi Family, and a self-made billionaire with a heart of Ice named Xi Min. I said goodbye to Lu-ge and he smiled, wishing me luck with Min-oppa.

"Chocolate or strawberries?" he asked and I told him it that the flavor doesn't matter since it's his treat. he shrugged and handed me a strawberry sundae with chocolate fudge and marshmallows. I squealed and took the sundae from him. How did he know my favorite?! Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw him smiled and ordered the same flavor that I love. "What do you do most of the time?" I asked and he shrugged. I was told that he's a silent investor as well and what amazed me is that he'll be graduating from his PhD soon. He's hot and a gentleman too.

After a few more talks, I found out that he's not really a cold person than what everyone told me. He just likes to keep things private about him and avoid getting into any issue. "Thank you for taking care of me, I really appreciate it" I smiled to him after he dropped me off right in front of my apartment. He smiled and I was shocked when he suddenly pushed me towards the wall. It's past midnight and there are no people around. I felt my heart beats fast when he leaned down caging me in between his arms, our lips dangerously close from each other. I almost felt my heart explode when---

"All women are the same" he greeted his teeth, seething in anger "You just want my money"

"Please don't cry, honeybee..." Yi-ge said, his eyes watery at the sight of my vulnerability "I don't want to see you so broken like this... You're strong, I know it"

I couldn't take my mind off of the sight of Min-oppa leaving me after calling me a gold digger and a social climber when doesn't even know me. I was hurt for what he told me and I could still remember his cold eyes looking down on me as if I'm a low-life person, to begin with. Then right the next day, I heard the news that he literally told the press that I'm his ex-girlfriend and that a low life woman like me should stay away from him. He also told the press that I'll never find another man because he'll finally expose all my lies. That I'm nothing but a snake in his life. After that, the news reached the whole world and everyone treated me with no respect. Even my students treated me as if I'm trash. Everything I worked so hard for all came falling down.

"We will fight, honeybee" Jun-oppa said determined "He's my brother but I don't tolerate that kind of attitude in stepping down on people especially when it's a woman"

"I agree with hyung" Dae-oppa said "We'll upgrade honeybee and make Min-hyung eat his words! Does anyone agree?"

Everyone nods in approval and that was the start of my intense training. To make Xi Min fall and eat his pride. We will teach him how to bend as well.
