Kiss the Scumbag

“Hello, Yujin. Thank you so much for inviting me!”

Right after seeing his face, Georgina greeted him with a bright smile and loud enthusiasm. Behind her ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ stood another woman. When Yujin looked at her, Georgina spoke on the woman’s behalf, who looked embarrassed.

“Charlotte drove me all the way here, so I couldn’t just let her go. Is that okay?”

“Of course. Please come in, Charlotte.”

Yujin smiled and greeted her, and she hesitated before softly replying, “Yes.” Georgina, just as lively and full of energy as when Yujin first met her, began chattering excitedly while looking around the mansion.

“You have no idea how much I was looking forward to this. What’s Angela doing now? Does she know we’re here? Last time, we barely got to see her face...”

Listening to her nonstop chatter, Yujin barely kept his wits about him. Unlike the original plan, about five days had passed since the visit was first promised. Though it had been more like a one-sided notice than an actual arrangement, Georgina’s wish had been fulfilled. She hadn’t said why the date was delayed.

“I brought a gift for Angela too.”

Georgina proudly showed off a box.

“Angie will love it.”

Yujin smiled and said so, and Georgina stood tall and declared confidently,

“I guarantee it. This shop has been around forever. There’s no chocolate shop as delicious as this one. I heard Winston used to eat it quite often as a child...”

Yujin let her words wash over him. He hadn’t mentioned anything to Winston about Georgina. Since that day, the two had been in a cold war. They spoke only when absolutely necessary, and whenever they did, their conversations were full of sharp barbs and sarcasm.

Still, Winston never skipped sleeping with Yujin. Though Yujin thought it was pointless, he let it be. After all, Winston needed to keep him off guard until he was ready.

Inviting Georgina at the same time as Winston’s business trip was partly rebellious—no need to ask his permission—but also for a practical reason.

If we get close, useful opportunities will surely come.

Yujin felt a bit sorry for Georgina’s pure goodwill, but he figured she had approached out of curiosity anyway, so it was the same. Though he thought it premature to judge, Georgina didn’t seem like a bad kid. It was almost surprising such a bright, innocent person existed in the Campbell family. She was young, after all, so there was no need to overthink. For now, her attitude was positive.

“Well then, Your Ladyship, Madam, I have prepared a seat here for you. My servant will bring tea shortly. Meanwhile, let’s talk about what’s happened.”

We just met today, Angie thought. Yujin thought the line was off, but Georgina smoothly went along with the child’s words.

“Oh, Your Ladyship, please listen to me. At the last party, you made your social debut, right? If you knew how much I was moved seeing that...”

Yujin guessed Georgina had watched a lot of novels and dramas. At that moment, the butler knocked softly on the open door. Angela, who had been sitting on a chair, spoke with dignity. freewёbnoνel.com

“A guest brought a gift, Cain. Please bring the chocolates to go with the tea.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Yujin’s eyes widened at the fact that even the butler was involved. What on earth was going on? But there was no time to hesitate. Angela, the hostess of this party, had warned Cain in a strict tone.

“Your Majesty, you should be seated. The guests are all waiting.”

Yujin was stunned, but everyone was serious. Even Charlotte mouthed “Please,” and seeing that, he had no choice but to take a seat in the vacant chair. After confirming everyone was seated according to her wishes, Angela beamed a bright smile and declared.

“Thank you all for attending my tea time. Let us enjoy the carefully prepared refreshments and share pleasant stories.”

“It is an honor, Your Ladyship.”

Georgina quickly chimed in, and Angela’s cheeks glowed proudly. Just then, as Angela rose as queen of the party, Winston was boarding a plane to another state.
