"You've done a good job.” Lee Moonsaeng reached out to lift Lee Cheonsoo's chin. ‘Tm beginning to admire you more and more. Buying you back then was the best decision I made."
Lee Cheonsoo didn't say anything.
She remained expressionless, as if she had lost her ability to express her emotions.
She was really nothing but a zombie.
"For the next few days, just continue to keep him excited. This fellow only has a few hobbies, so just hang in there. Once I get everything sorted out, and you'll be able to get what you want."
"I want freedom," Lee Cheonsoo blurted out.
She suddenly looked up and opened her mouth. After some hesitation, she added on, "I...I just want freedom. I don't want anything else."
Lee Moonsaeng frowned and glared at Lee
Cheonsoo with eyes that looked like a ferocious wolf.
Then his gaze slowly became gentler and had a glint that looked both complicated and curious at the same time.
"Sure. Once you complete this mission, I will let you have your freedom back."
"Really?" Lee Cheonsoo became excited and her eyes immediately lit up. Even her voice was trembling slightly.
"Of course." Lee Moonsaeng gently caressed her face. "I'm not a liar. You deserve this."
He helped Lee Cheonsoo to her feet and gently caressed her hair. His expression was gentle and it was an expression that Lee Cheonsoo had never seen before. She was in a daze just looking at him.
When he first found her, he seemed to have a similar expression too. But later on...
Lee Cheonsoo didn't dare to look up
anymore.
She just wanted to regain her freedom. Even if she had to go back to living in poverty, it seemed better than whatever she had now.
She was suddenly uninterested in status, fame nor money.
