Chapter 9 - chapiter 9: «she's just a replacement »

In a house where calm reigned, Mr. Seo was sitting quietly in the living room, absorbed in reading his newspaper, while Mrs. Seo savored her coffee. They were enjoying a moment of relaxation, trying to catch some fresh air.

Mrs. Seo, with a gleam of contentment in her voice, expressed her opinion about an Elsa who seemed to have particularly caught her attention. "I think this girl is really something special and unique!" she said enthusiastically.

Mr. Seo, still engrossed in his reading, couldn't help but respond: "I can't argue with you there. Did you see how she responded to me? If it weren't for this marriage, I would have thrown her out already."

Mrs. Seo quickly retorted: "You know very well that I'm not talking about that!"

Intrigued, Mr. Seo folded his newspaper and asked: "If it's not that, then what makes her so special?"

"Well," Mrs. Seo began, "it's just that it's the first time I've seen him so open with someone. I never thought my son could talk so normally with others. He's always been so shy and thoughtful about every move he makes. If you had seen how they were talking just now, it was really the first time I saw him like that."

Mr. Seo replied skeptically, "She just arrived in this house and you're already getting attached to her? Don't forget that she's doing all this just for money and she'll be leaving soon. There's no need for you to build a relationship with her."

Mrs. Seo sighed, aware of the reality but touched by the young girl's personality. "I know, but I can't help feeling comfortable around her! She doesn't even try to hide her intentions. It's as if she's honest and..."

"And ill-mannered!?" Mr. Seo cut in vehemently. "I see nothing good in her that deserves such admiration."

"And what if you tried a little bit of..." Mrs. Seo began.

Mr. Seo interrupted her: "What? To have a little respect for her? I don't want a girl like that in my family. I've told you, she's just a replacement here and she'll leave when the time comes. So don't get attached to her."

Meanwhile, Elie and Elsa were driving with their chauffeur and butler, Mr. Gilbert.

Elsa curiously asked: "But where exactly are we going like this?"

Elie replied with a mischievous smile: "We're going to get you some clothes! You can't wear the same outfit even for the honeymoon!"

Elsa protested: "I know but I don't have money to buy others! I can't go out completely naked in front of everyone! I've been wearing this outfit for three days and I see no problem with it!"

Elie chuckled lightly: "Ah, now I understand better where that smell is coming from!"

Elsa indignantly started sniffing her body: "What smell? Hey! I took a shower last night and again this morning! And it's not as dirty as you think, okay?"

Elie shook his head making a face: "You think? Because I feel like I can't breathe anymore! Let's open the car window!"

Elsa exclaimed: "But stop that!"

The chauffeur then announced: "Sir, we have arrived!"

Intrigued, Elsa asked: "What is this place?"

Elie replied with a knowing smile: "Get out and you'll see!
