The atmosphere inside the Principal’s room was tense. Jina and Chanmi stood at the front while the Principal was sitting with Jung Hyojin and a lawyer. The eighteen year old Hyojin was one of the most popular students in the school. His dark hair was dyed with purple streaks and his eyes were tense. He was a foot taller than Rachel and the boy wore his football jersey.

“Are high schoolers allowed to dye their hair?” Chanmi whispered. “Isn’t that against the school rules.”

“Not when one of your parents is a member of the school board,” Jina muttered. The lawyer was talking to the Principal in a hushed tone before turning to the cops.

“Good afternoon officers,” he greeted them. “My name is Hyun Charles l and I’ll be representing my client, Jung Hyojin.”

“I’m Detective Hwang Jina,” Jina said. “And this is Officer Shin Chanmi. We only want to ask a few questions to your client.”

“My client is not interested in answering any of your questions without valid grounds,” Charles stated. “He is exercising his right to remain silent. Do you have any evidence to prove that my client is an important witness or suspect in this case?”

Jina and Chanmi looked at each other. They could not mess with this lawyer without valid evidence to back them up. Moreover, they were bound by the law and could not even take the boy for interrogation.

“He was Song Rachel’s boyfriend,” Jina pointed out. “We need to ask him questions about when he saw Rachel for the last time.”

From the corner of her eye, she saw Hyojin shifting in his seat as if he was uncomfortable.

“They are exes,” the lawyer clarified. “They broke up weeks before Ms. Song’s unfortunate demise. He has nothing else to tell you. My client’s parents will be arriving in a while and I must say that-“

At that precise moment, the door burst open and a woman in his early fifties came running into the room. She was wearing an expensive black trench coat with bright pink stockings. Her branded bag was flashing in front of her and her ash colored hat was almost falling off her head. The woman looked a lot like her son but was chubbier and shorter with sagging eyes. 

She glared at Jina and charged at her.

“You bitch!” she yelled, slightly pushing Jina backwards. “How dare you try to arrest my son? You dirtbag of a cop!”

A nerve twitched on Jina’s forehead. I must not insult civilians, she chanted in her head. 

Aloud, she said, “No one is arresting him. We just want to ask him a few questions about Rachel-“

“I know you lowly policemen very well!” Mrs. Jung screamed. “You guys only want bribes which is why you’re harassing my poor kid! I will sue you! You don’t know my family!”

Jina raised an eyebrow. She studied the woman from head to toe but did not make any remarks. Chanmi was annoyed at the woman and was about to tell her that the woman did not even possess the fraction of wealth Jina had but was stopped by her boss. Jina shook her head, continuing the ruse.

“We’ll leave now,” Mrs. Jung went on. “We’re not gonna waste time on riffraff like this! Come my son!”

She pulled her darling boy with her and left the room. The lawyer went with them while the Principal looked apologetic.

“I’m sorry detective,” he said. “She’s one of our new trustees and we had to inform her about this.”

“She’s new money as well,” Jina said. “They recently became rich, right?”

The Principal was taken aback by the statement but nodded. “Her husband’s healthcare application became a viral hit and they got investment from Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. They’ve recently purchased a villa and are going to throw a lavish party tonight. An exclusive party only for the top elites of the country.”

“Really?” Jina asked thoughtfully. “Thank you for your time, sir. We might have to bother you again but rest assured, we’ll make sure that the investigation is over as soon as possible.”

She thanked the Principal and together with Chanmi, left the premises. Once outside, Chanmi burst out.

“Boss, why didn’t you let me tell her that you’re the heiress to the Hwang family?” she demanded. “That would have shut her mouth!”

“The Hwangs show off their love for money but not their wealth,” Jina said, dialing a number on her phone. “Rather, we slap people on the faces with more finesse.”

Chanmi was confused but her boss winked. Jina heard someone answer the phone.

“Young Miss!” 

It was Jongin, her father’s secretary who was in town at the moment. 

“Hello Secretary Jongin,” Jina greeted. “Did we receive an invitation from the Jung family? They have a party at their villa, right?”

“We did but no one accepted it yet,” Jongin said. “Master Minyoon said he has a paid fan event while Master Yoonmin said he’s busy with investors. Chairman Junho straight up called them boring, preferring to babysit Miss Miyoo instead.”

“Tell them that the eldest daughter of the Hwang family will be attending,” Jina ordered

“Er…but you will need a date, Young Miss,” Jongin told her. 

At precisely that moment, Jina spotted an auburn haired man getting out of a taxi. She flashed an evil smile at Hobin who was visibly confused by her change in attitude.

“I already have one,” she declared. “Deliver me the finest gown you can find. The more expensive the better.”

“Understood Young Miss,” her father’s secretary replied at once. “We’ll get you the best one!”

Jina hung up the phone to find Chanmi and Hobin stare at her with a mix of confusion and awe.

“Boss, you’re great!” Chanmi said gleefully.

“What are you planning?” Hobin asked suspiciously. 

But Jina only patted his cheek and said, “You’ll know everything in due time. Just make sure you have a fine tux ready for tonight, babe.”

Hobin was now traumatized. B-Babe? What the hell was going on?

Jina merely winked and got into her car with Chanmi. Hobin was still standing there, completely shocked.

“Are you coming or not?” she yelled at him, breaking him out of his reverie.

“I better get free dinner!” he grumbled getting into the car.

“I’ll add a free dessert too, okay?” Jina sneered while Chanmi only looked from her boss to the Doctor Demon. 

Is it me or do these two make a very good couple? She wondered.
