“Am not a kid, dude… Mind your words…
I will have the red one”
He said rudely and bo Ra looked surprised.
“Ar hee, I told you to have respect and some mannerse”
Bo Ra snapped back at him…
He took the ice cream from the owner and walk away…
Bo Ra brought out some money and apologize to the owner before catching up with him..
“Whenever you disrespect anyone again… I wouldn’t take you out any longer…. And you will be at home alone”.
“Am sorry, mom…

“Lee Bin, calm down please… Don’t release your temper on her”
Cha calmed him down… Lee Bin sighs and sat down.
Why did you lie about your name?
Cha asked facing her.
“Well, he was calling me a beggar and I have no choice but to say a name that comes to my head”.
She replied.
“Wait, which means you have seen the name somewhere??’

Bo Ra and Lee Bin scoffs…
“You are not working for too long…. Just three days”.
“Three days??

Cha just shrugged watching the two of them.
“You will be paid W25,000,000 each day and little bonuses if I see your good work”
He said and brought out a contract file.
“Sign it and you can start tomorrow”.
Bo Ra sighs sadly.
