Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella

Although Moon Jiwoo's anger for the male wasn't to the level that she would be killing him, it was to the extent that she wanted to punch the male and lash out on him.

For the past month, he made her overwork daily, and her weekends were not even relaxing due to his constant demands. He made her wake early in the morning in order to come to the shop.

Moon Jiwoo had no clue on from where he was able to find so many customers, but due to them, the store was packed all the time without giving her a time to rest.

She did suggest to him to hire a part timer, but he mentioned on how her salary will be reduced to pay the part-timer. That was enough to make her shut up, and she never suggested about that thing to Sookyung again.

At this point, Moon Jiwoo did not know why should she be working this hard. It's not like she is a mȧsȯċhɨst in the first place.

All the guilt she felt was starting to diminish, and if things went that way, sooner or later, she is bound to be able to have the motivation to beat him up.

But that wasn't enough for her to maintain a cheerful mood today. Her muscles were killing her, and with the piled up frustration within her, she was aware that getting a drink in this moment would be perfect.

As Youngjae grilled the pork, Moon Jiwoo and Yura raised the cup of beer and gulped it down in one sip. A wince escaped from their mouth after she did that.

"I want the old boss back. Oh Sookyung is an ȧsshole! He tortured me terribly over this month! I don't think that I worked this hard ever in my life," Jiwoo said, letting out a groan while a sigh escaped from her mouth.

The only reason she was able to find time to have drink was because of how Sookyung was out of town and luckily enough, he was smart enough to not take her along with him. 

Moreover, he did not ȧssign her with much task before leaving, and the customers today were less as well.

After all the torture, Jiwoo considered the day to be a blessing!

"I feel bad for you, Unnie! Look how thin you have gotten. Why do you even endure that boss of yours? 

Although he is drop dead handsome, he is terrible for making you work this much. If I was you, I would have broken all the flower pots on his head. Because of him, I am unable to meet up with you anymore."

"You are right! He is terrible! That scumbag! I have no problem with working overtime and on the weekends as long as I am paid enough for it. But no, that jerk is not increasing my salary after making me work this much.

Your idea is great! One of these days I will seriously throw those flower pots on top of his head and make him regret messing with him. That son of a bitch! Do I look like a pushover or something!?

And what's so handsome about him? Because of those looks of his, there are more customers coming in the shop! I don't even know what those ladies see in him. He is so ugly! It would be great if there were no customers! It's not as if my salary go down or up if that happened."

After those words left her mouth, Moon Jiwoo's eyes fell on Yura and Youngjae, who were opposite to her, and the reflection in their eyes caused her to blink her multiple number of times in order to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating due to being drunk.

That's when she felt a hand on top of her shoulder, and at the contact, a chill went down her back. She knew who that hand belonged to perfect and gulped because of that.

"Daerin-ssi, that's quite a wish you have. It's nice to see someone as fresh as you. Very rarely would one wish for their workplace to make no profits."

Embarrassment filled Moon Jiwoo after hearing those words, and she wondered what the man was doing at this place. She clearly remembered how he mentioned about returning tomorrow, and even so, he would not have been able to find her in this place.

Forcing out a smile on her face, she looked back to face him and voiced out, "What are you doing here, Boss? About what you have just heard, I ȧssure you that there was seriously a misunderstanding."

Before Sookyung was able to say anything, Yura added, "Yeah, Unnie wasn't badmouthing you or anything. It's just that this month had been terrible for her, and this was the first time she found working at the flower shop insufferable. That's all about it."

Moon Jiwoo did not whether to laugh or slam her head due to Yura's words. Maybe she would have gone for the former one if it wasn't for the fact how nervous Sookyung made her feel in this moment.

Raising his hand, Youngjae hit Yura at the back of her head and stated, "You idiot, didn't I tell you to talk as less as possible?"

Turning her head to face the male, she glared at him and vocalised, "What did I do? I was just being honest!"

Letting out a sigh, Youngjae raised his chopsticks, and picking up some piece of pork with them, he placed it inside her mouth before said, "Just don't say anything and keep on eating. That's the only thing you should use your mouth for."

After scoffing, Yura continued to eat the pork.

Moon Jiwoo, on the other hand, did not know how to fix the situation. Nonetheless, she did not find herself caring much about it. It was his fault for eavesdropping on her after all.

Nonetheless, not wanting to make the air around them more awkward, she spoke out, "If that's settled and you have nothing more to do, Boss, I will be going back to eating. Then, bye."

As Moon Jiwoo was able to turn her head towards the food, Oh Sookyung grabbed her by the collar and turned her back. 

"Who said that I have nothing to do with you right now? Of course because I want something from you that I have come to this place."

As much she wanted to give him a black eye— although that would not be lasting with his healing abilities— creating a scene at a restaurant wasn't her cup of tea, and therefore, she held back her fist.

Before Moon Jiwoo was able to retort to that, Youngjae got up from his chair and made her way over to the girl. Wearing a smile on his face, he gripped on to Sookyung's wrist.

He then said, "It is not polite to hold a girl you are not close to by her collar, Sookyung-ssi. I am sure that you both are not in a position to do that. 

That's why, I would prefer for you to refrain yourself. Moreover, since the time for her work is over, I don't believe that she was any responsibility to report to you. What you are doing right now can be reported to the police."

Hearing those words from Youngjae made Moon Jiwoo almost tear up. She was touched by how the male stood up for her, something that did not happen, and if it wasn't for the situation, she would have given the male a hug.

Nonetheless, that did not mean that she was willing to offend Oh Sookyung right then. She had to pay her rent and bills soon, and without the salary, it would not be possible for her to do so.

That's why, she had to keep this job unless she found some other job to replace it.

It was not as if Moon Jiwoo did not consider job hunting. But the matter was that she was too busy to that these days. It was not as if she would be able to trouble Youngjae and Yura with something like this.

Moreover, finding a job that paid as much as her current place was no easy matter and it was bound to take a lot of effort.

Oh Sookyung let go of his grip on Moon Jiwoo's collar, and noticing that, Youngjae released his hold on Sookyung's wrist. A smile formed on Jiwoo's face at that.

"Since it would not be right for me to do that, I will be joining for dinner with you all. I ȧssume that you will not be having a problem with that."

'Wow! You are really shameless to intrude like this. You even know that no one will be able to reject you.'

"No, it's absolutely fine, boss," Jiwoo sweetly stated.
