Chapter 163 - Amazing (2/2)
”Did you say Jisoo Park? Yushin Park's wife?” Mr. Lee asked and Yanee was a bit surprised because the one he remembered was the one from Korea and not Japan.
”Do you know them?”Yanee asked and realized that they were all big names in the business industry so her father must have known them and their husbands.
”Of course. She's pretty popular in the circle. She's supporting many orphanages and animal shelters in Asia. Your mother and I met her and her husband last year at a charity gala in Seoul,” Mr. Lee said thoughtfully before frowning.
”What's wrong?”Yanee wondered why her father suddenly turned quiet.
”You said she's one of your interviewees?” he asked and Yanee nodded. This made the old man and his wife exchange looks.
”Er… dad, is there something wrong with that?”Yanee was now curious about their reaction.
”Yes, uncle. Why did you suddenly ask?” Chummy was also eager to hear the reason.
”Ah, nothing. Your mom and I are just surprised that you managed to make an appointment with her. She's not someone who likes the limelight and doesn't really give interviews easily,” he said.
”Well, my project is not necessarily an interview about her. I was just tasked to talk about romance with her so I can use the information as a reference when I write my book,” Yanee said.
She already knew the fact that most of her interviewees were people who never really gave interviews except for Jason Tan who was a superstar. But she never really thought much about it since it had nothing to do with her project.
”Which made it more surprising,” Mr. Lee interjected. ”Those people hate giving interviews much more talking about their personal life with a stranger for some book.”
Well… Yanee thought if they would put it that way, what her father said made sense. But she really never thought about it since everything's already been arranged. It was unlike when she worked at the magazine and had to arrange interviews by herself.
”Well, my boss arranged the interviews so I didn't have any problems,” Yanee told them. ”All I had to do was set a schedule with them and do the interview. Well, I do have to fly over to where they are most times. But traveling is fun so I didn't mind.”
”Oh? Arranged by your boss?” The couple looked amazed. ”He must be someone amazing to be able to make those people say yes to the interview.”
”Yes! Our boss is amazing! He's very handsome too!” Chummy chimed in with a giggle and Yanee side-eyed her, warning her to shut up.
She was not yet prepared to tell her parents about her new boyfriend right now. She was planning to tell them when Ami was here so she had someone really strong to back her up just in case.
”Really?”Mrs. Lee asked with curiosity. ”Who did Niji send by the way? Your boss is originally from Niji, right? Which one is he?”
Urgh…
Oh well, Yanee couldn't refuse to answer anyway.
”Tohru James,” she said, rendering her parents speechless.
