7. I'm innocent

"Baekmyo! You're bad! Bastard! Damn!" I shout, point at Baekmyo's face angrily.

I keep screaming, try to defend myself even though the two men drag me out of that room. But who will hear the screams of the woman who works as a cleaning service?

Several people have already crowd into the front of the director's room, they are looking at me curiously. They do not help me but even talk about my ugliness. Right, who will dare to help someone like me? Than against the command of director, it is better let I like this.

-o0o-

I can't sleep, even though it is past midnight and almost morning, I am still wait for Baekmyo to return. I walk up and down in front of his room anxiously. Of course for worry myself. He is dead or alive I don't care, the important thing is to solve my problem first.

I want so badly to suffocate him, my hands feel so itchy. Where is he going? Why he doesn't come back? It is almost 3:00 in the morning and my eyes are not strong enough. Two cups of coffee have no effect at all.

Clek! Clek!

It is sound of door is opened.

Ouw, Baekmyo is back.

I run down the stairs and come to him. I can't wait to talk to him. I can't wait any longer.

Baekmyo looks at my appearance lazily, looks very relaxed like nothing have happened. Felt innocent after makes me miserable.

"What?" he asked casually.

'What' he said? What is with him? Only that?

"Let's, talk!" I said.

This time he comply my request. We sit in the living room, in front of the TV. He sits casually with his legs crossed, his hands crossed and leans on the sofa.

"Say!" he said.

"Are you behind all of this?" I squint suspiciously. I really believe, the mastermind behind all of that is him. He intend to make me unable to live in peace even I can't sleep.

"This proved, you're pretty good at guessing," Baekmyo said.

I know it isn't a compliment, but he is blatantly confessing. As stupid as I am, I can easily guess who deliberately drastically lower my position, consider... that Baekmyo is the CEO of HK Group.

"Then, what is your final decision?" Baekmyo asked seriously. He really wishs I am on his side.

"I'm innocent. You're accusing the wrong people."

"Do I need to tell you all the evidence again? You posted the draft in your account and you sold it illegally, it led the HK Group to be accused of plagiarism and incurring losses. How are you going to pay it? That much money to pay my employees, their fate depends on you."

I am astonished. I feel guilty but I am really innocent. "You set me up? What tricks did you use?" I said softly contain a sadness. "My account was hacked! I bet it!" I get up and push Baekmyo and grab Baekmyo's collar. "That is not me!" I shouted in frustration.

Baekmyo looks away, he let me rode on it but have no intention to remove my hand from his shirt collar. "Then, how do you prove it if you are innocent?" Baekmyo asked dryly.

"..."

Finally he releases my grip with a rough snap. Then, he gets up and go somewhere, maybe to his room.

"Baekmyo, damn it!" I shouted in frustratio.

-o0o-

I have breakfast alone in the dining room. Auntie Yoo does other work after cooking. I asked her to have breakfast together with me, but she refused because it can violate the rules in this house. I know what Auntie Yoo afraid of and I don't insist.

My appetite has recently decreased, I can't sleep and even swallow my food it doesn't taste good. The problem at the office is not over yet I don't even know how to solve it. I don't have any proof. Hire a lawyer is also not possible, I hear the best lawyer in the country works for the Byun family. It is certain that the lawyer will reject my request and side with Baekmyo more. Besides, I don't have enough money to hire a lawyer.

How should I defend myself? Scream myself till death won't drop the charges if I don't have solid evidence to defend myself.

"Baekmyo, damn it!" I grumbled, stab the fork into the meat on the plate.

"You still have an appetite," Baekmyo said sarcastically, just comes down from his room. He puts his coat on the back of the chair and then he sits on the other chair.

My grip on the fork and knife grew tighter. I am so pissed off but I can't take it out. Baekmyo, that guy always makes me angry and uneasy on purpose. Be calm demeanor will probably irritated him too. Be happy in front of people who hate us, it will hurt them.

I will make him like throw a boomerang.

"Of course I need to eat, I need to eat to survive and fight you," I reply, trying to calm down.

"Is that so?" Baekmyo nod his head nonchalantly. After that he starts eating his breakfast menu without say anything else. He looks relaxed, it is like I throw stones at my own feet. It annoy me, even I am annoyed by it.

"Since when did you become CEO of the HK Group?" I asked.

"Since marrying you, why?"

I know it. "Why only now? Why didn't you take that position from long ago?"

"In the past I didn't need it. But now ... I'm forced to take the position for your sake, isn't torturing enemies at close range easier?" Baekmyo grins.

My heart is frozen. My blood seem to stop flowing. He definitely doesn't mess with his words. This man really terrible. What should I do?

-o0o-

After the incident in front of Baekmyo's room that day, the people who know me turn away from me. They avoid me and talk about me in the back. My friends who start out as little now have run out.

Some of them even blatantly curse me, blame me for leak company secrets. My self-esteem gets lower and gets trampled on. My heart is hurt, but I doesn't want to look weak in front of them because they will step on me even more if I have low self-esteem.
