Twist Of Fate
Chapter 60
The Fundraise Event

"Jangmi?" You broke out.

Your colleague and friend glanced up from her desk with the pearls and jewelries in her hands which she currently used to make some bracelets.

You fluttered your black long lashes, gulped hard, and looked the other way. If you told her what you have done, you can imagine that her questions would flood like a river and make you wash away with a strong wave.

"Why are you quiet? You called my name." She said and raised her brows in question.

"I need to tell you something," You cleared your throat.

This time, she nodded and made a hand gesture for you to continue. You sighed deeply, closed your eyes for a second, and breathed out.

I have no choice but to tell her.

"I've invited Yongguk for the fundraise." You breathed out and looked at her face for her reaction.

However, she didn't act upon it and just looked at you without speaking. You blinked your eyes, feeling confused, but then the corner of her mouth curved up and her one brow lifted.

"You invited him?" She asked with a witty grin.

"Yes, we could use some help." You shrugged.

"Yes girl, yes!" She exclaimed. You stared at her baffled, when she clapped her hands excitedly.

Just then she dropped the pearls from her palms and her eyes widened as the little colorful pearls fell.

"Oh my God!" She ducked under the desk and began to pick up the pearls which she used to make the bracelets for the fundraise.

"Jangmi, calm down." You said as you went over to help her.

You couldn't believe she clapped her hands when she had been holding onto pearls, who does that? You smiled at her silliness.

The both of you were under the desk, picking up the pearls and Jangmi giggled to herself. You knew this would happen. So, you sighed.

"How come you invited him?" She asked.

"He said that I don't want him working here, so I had to do it." You shrugged and handed her some peals in her palm.

She clutched her fist with the pearls and shook her head. You furrowed your brows. "I mean it." You said in a clear tone, but she shook her head once more.

"Just be honest, you do want him to come by, you've seen how the kids adore him." She said, suddenly sounding quite serious, and unlike herself.

You looked away and continued to pick up the pearls that were scattered on the floor. You placed her peals back in a little box on her desk.

"What kinds of bracelets have you planned to make with the kids?" You asked.

"Don't change the subject." She said firmly and scrunched her face at you, making you frown. You blinked your eyes and smiled sweetly.

"Tell me, why did you invite him, give me the real reason." She said. Your sweet smile didn't affect her.

You breathed deeply, and she looked at you, into your eyes deeply, waiting. You knew you couldn't escape from this.

There was no going back. The both of you were ducked under her desk and you were alone in the office.

"Fine, okay, I want him to come." You confessed.
