The next morning, Roseanne did not drive her own car but sat on Park Jimin's car to head to the studio.

She carelessly scanned through the car for several seconds. In the end, she found a gold round tube of lipstick in the barely noticeable gap between the leather seats.

Roseanne reached over and picked up the lipstick. She opened and looked at it briefly, raising her brows and chuckling lightly.

When Jimin saw the lipstick, he glanced at it indifferently. His tone was just like last night. "Sure you don't want to change cars?"

"Not changing," Roseanne curved her lips, playing with the lipstick in her hands. "What bothers me is not the car. Her motive is also not to retrieve this lipstick."

His thin lips curved. Although this little woman said that she believed in him and acted as though she had thought things through, her words still carried the sour scent of jealousy.

In the afternoon, as Seong Mina drove out of the company, she saw Roseanne Lin walking past the plaza in front of the company with a small gift bag in her hands.

"Mrs. Park?" Seong Mina stopped the car by her side, politely nodding and smiling toward her.

Roseanne looked at her and took a quick glance at her car. "Secretary Seong's car sure was fixed quickly. It broke down yesterday and can already be driven today?"

Seong Mina smiled lightly and replied, "Last night I called for a mechanic to come over. They are really efficient. When I came to work in the morning, I saw that they had already sent the repaired car back."

"Not bad, it was raining so heavily last evening, and it was outside of work hours as well. Their efficiency is godly fast. I should visit this auto repair shop in the future."

Roseanne said and handed over the delicate gift bag in her hands.

Seong Mina was surprised. "This is?"

"Last night, your lipstick was really dropped on Jimin's car. I discovered it this morning." Roseannd smiled as though it did not bother her at all. "Unfortunately, they only found it when I sent the car to be washed. When the worker was cleaning the inside of the car, he accidentally soaked your lipstick. I felt that it was such a pity. Coincidentally, there wasn't much I had to do today, so I went to buy the same brand of lipstick before coming, here, take it."

"Mrs. Park, you really didn't have to. It's only a lipstick; there was no need to buy me a new one. Not to mention, I was the one that carelessly left it in CEO Park's car." Secretary Seong's smile was polite and distant. She got off the car, considerately and politely standing to speak with Roseanne Lin.

Roseanne noticed this detail and found that Seong Mina was indeed very good at conducting herself. She indifferently curved her lips, calmly saying, "Last night, it was already past midnight, yet you specially brought it up over the phone. I thought this lipstick was important to you. Since I've already bought it, Secretary Seong should just take it. Anyway, this color doesn't suit me."

Roseanne threw the small gift bag containing the lipstick through the car window and into the car seat.

Seong Mina could not reject it and could only smile toward Roseanne. "In that case, I have to drop by a business lounge to collect something in the afternoon. I'm not sure if there'll be any good cafés along the way. Mrs. Park, do you want to have a cup of coffee with me? I'll treat you as thanks for the lipstick."

"You've really asked the right person. I know of several good cafés." Roseanne smiled happily and did not reject her invitation.

Seong Mina nodded, smiling as she walked around the car. While opening the door, she said, "Then get on the car; let's go for a coffee."

"It's not good to reject kindness, so I shouldn't stand on hospitality." Roseanne smiled and got on the car.

The two women sat in the car. On their way, they discussed small matters. It was as though they were intentionally avoiding talking about Park Jimin. They only discussed America's Park and the daily news in the country. They laughed while chatting as if they were both enjoying the conversation.

When they arrived at a street near the business lounge, the two of them walked into a graceful and quiet café.

Roseanne casually ordered a mocha, and Seong Mina followed.

"Secretary Seong enjoys mocha as well?"

"It's all right. I grew up in America and can't really take bitter coffee. But I enjoy mocha a lot."

"Although Secretary Seong's choice of lipstick differs from mine, the brand is the same. The coffee we like is the same as well. It seems like our tastes are rather similar?" Roseanne casually smiled."I just don't know if we have the same taste when it comes to men?"

Hearing her words, Seong Mina was quiet for a moment, before smiling slightly. "When Mrs. Park came to look for me today, you had wanted to speak to me, didn't you?"

Roseanne furrowed her brows. "You say, what do I want to talk to you about?"

"Of course, it's about CEO Park." Seong Mina met Roseanne's gaze straight on calmly. "Mrs. Park is a smart person. It's easy to speak to a smart person, so there is no need for me to act innocent. Coming here from America, my goal is simple and direct. Just like how Mrs. Park's goal for looking for me is simple and direct."

"So, Secretary Seong's lipstick was truly just an act? For the sake of luring me to seek you out?" Roseanne chuckled.

Seong Mina curved her lips imperceptibly. "Uncle Park does not look well upon your marriage with CEO Park. Grandfather Park has become confused with old age. Even the so-called family benefits have to be considered from a distance away. Although the Lin family once prospered in Korea, Lin Corporation's standards have constantly been falling in all areas. This political marriage has no benefits for the Park family whatsoever. It can barely be considered a suitable match, but only barely after all."

Speaking until here, Seong Mina met Roseanne's calm eyes once more. "Forgive my direct words, but Mrs. Park, your actions both before and after the wedding cannot be considered those of a good wife. Besides, I heard your relationship with CEO Park was not very harmonious several months ago. You wanted a divorce very much."

Roseanne lightly chuckled.

It was truly not out of expectation. Seong Mina's call yesterday was only to look for an opportunity to "discuss."

"Since Secretary Seong speaks so directly, then I shall not hide it from you." Roseanne held her chin with one hand, fluttering her lashes at her as she smiled. "At the beginning, I could not adjust to married life. I'm sure you know how Jimin is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Back then, I didn't really know him well, so I kept wanting to regain my singlehood and my freedom."

Seong Mina looked at Roseanne, her eyes carrying several hints of doubt and consideration.

"But ever since our marriage, he has constantly been indulging my small outbursts of temper. In the past, I was immature about it, but his passion coaxed me gradually." Roseanne appeared slightly embarrassed, yet her eyes were filled with sweetness. "When he becomes passionate, it's impossible to fend him off~."
