"So... When we'll be able to get chenle back here? By this week or next?" mrs. zhong asked while spinning her pen on the tips of her fingers
Jaehyun stare at the woman wearing no emotions on his face, even though deep inside, his mind were occupied by the thoughts about the chinese male, he feel bad about chenle seeing how happy he is with the family especially mrs. lee's youngest son.
He's aware that jeno is lying about the three males hating dirts. Heck, he saw before his very eyes how much they change at the amount of time they're gone.
"Chenle didn't really change that much... Maybe a tad but not mind-blowing." jaehyun stated in a stern tone
Mrs. Zhong chuckled and lift the side of her lips "Really?" her smirk quickly turned into a scowl as she placed her pen down on the table "That's why chenle is letting mrs. lee's son kiss and hug him... Hmmm, he didn't change... Really?" she gets up to her swivel chair, mrs. zhong stood up in front of her desk and lights her cigarette up, blowing the smoke right into jaehyun's face
The male is absolutely disgusted by the action but he had to keep his composure and pretend like it's nothing, he's not very surprised that she knows what is going on with chenle but he didn't expect for her to know about jeno and chenle's feelings for each other.
Chenle never really had a privacy when it comes to his personal life since mrs. zhong always meddling up with it as if her son couldn't take care of himself, jaehyun always feel bad everytime he watches the chinese male closely as he could see how uncomfortable chenle is whenever he does that.
"I mean... They're kind of close, but I don't think chenle have feelings with jeno."
"Are you trying to act dumb just to cover up chenle's wrong doing to me?"
Since when did falling in love with someone become wrong? Jaehyun heaved out a sigh, there's no use of lying when mrs. zhong had already knew it before him a miles step ahead.
"You're the one who give your son the punishment and send him to the lees for him to learn his 'lesson' but now that he's doing his task right, you're calling it 'wrong' now?"
Mrs. Zhong poke the walls of her cheeks with her tongue before putting her cigarette down to the ash tray "Yes, him falling in-love with someone who isn't like him is a wrong doing! It would be such a big shame in this family once they learn that chenle is involve with someone who is probably poorer than a rat!" she stated with her head up high
A subtle scowl appeared on jaehyun's face after that unpleasant remark she made about jeno "Why don't you just let chenle act like people his age, you're always on his neck whenever he tries to do something that is totally normal for a young person!"
"Are you trying to teach me how to raise my son now, jaehyun?" the woman smirked and let out a huff, brushing the hair off her face "In case you forgot, you will not be here alive and kicking if it weren't for me saving you."
This is what jaehyun hates the most about working for mrs. zhong, her extremely manipulative and unkind nature, she doesn't miss any of her chance to bring up his past just to get whatever she desire.
She does this to everyone, especially chenle.
Jaehyun sighed for the nth time as he clenches his fist tight "You really had to use it, aren't you?"
"Of course, you know what will happen if you ever put something up against my will."
