You're Under Arrest
Chapter 6
The curtains of the night gradually opened.
The taxi stopped in front of the MBC television station. Chi Tae-ri stepped out in a pair of stilettos.
It was rare for her to wear a dignified and formal dress today. She tugged at the hem of her dress unnaturally. Her eyes fell on the TV station, and her palms couldn't help but sweat.
She really had phobia of the camera, and at this moment, she was absolutely unwilling to stand there.
But the class monitor also said that this matter couldn't be delayed. The results of the third division of the police station in all aspects, whether it was investigation rate or poll rate, had never been outstanding compared to the other divisions. It was rare that they could finally hold their heads high, so the higher-ups naturally wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good image.
And she had no choice but to become the protagonist of this matter. It was all because of how she had accidentally saved Kwon Ji-yong. If he was an ordinary person, the media wouldn't have cared so much.
Chi Tae-ri smoothed the hair in front of her forehead and looked at her watch. Clutching her handbag tightly, she had no choice but to step forward.
"Officer Chi, you're finally here." The PD who came to pick her up was a little girl. She was waiting in the lobby on the first floor, looking very anxious.
Chi Tae-ri was a little apologetic. "Sorry, I seem to be late."
"It's okay, come with me."
The PD led her into the elevator and pressed the floor. "It just so happens that we have a lot of recording today. We don't have enough dressing rooms, so we might need to share a dressing room with someone else. Is that okay?"
"It's okay, I'm not an artist anyway."
"But Officer Chi has the beauty of an artist."
"… Thank you."
Chi Tae-ri was still a little unaccustomed to the little girl's sudden praise. She smiled helplessly, and her little face was tinged with a rare pink color.
Usually, when she stayed at the police station, other than the uncouth uncouth people around her, there were perverted hooligans who had been arrested. After a long time, she gradually became assimilated. It had been a long time since she wore a dress and high heels like today.
The elevator arrived at the floor she wanted to go to. Chi Tae-ri followed the PD into the dressing room. In front of the mirror, there seemed to be an artist surrounded by a makeup artist and a hairstylist.
She slowly walked closer and her eyes met the man in the mirror. She was stunned. He happened to be looking at her too.
"Chi Tae-ri Xi?" Kwon Ji-yong put down his mobile phone, and Jun's face flashed a look of surprise.
The PD was startled. "Oh right, I've seen the news. You guys should know each other, so I won't introduce you."
"Yes, there's no need for introductions.
I know her, Officer Chi Tae-ri. "
Kwon Ji-yong said indifferently. His pair of black eyes stared straight at her, emitting a strange light. The corners of his lips could not help but raise into a smile. It was shallow, but it could be easily seen.
Her clothes today were very different from before. She was really beautiful. This was what he wanted to exclaim subconsciously.
Today, she looked more like a young girl. The dress was also very suitable for her. The slim-fit cut showed off her good figure. In fact, this dress was more suitable for her.
Chi Tae-ri followed his gaze and looked at the dress she was wearing. Then, she looked at the remaining smile on his lips. Her face gradually darkened, and she raised her eyebrows. She seemed to understand what he was looking at.
Because of her work, she had always been used to studying other people's expressions and reactions, as well as their motives. Naturally, she was very sensitive to such changes in expression. It seemed that the saying that men were always purely visual creatures was not wrong. She had only changed her clothes, but the look in her eyes was completely different.
She raised her habitual smile and interrupted his gaze. "Kwon Ji-ryong Xi, hello."
"Because there are more programs to be recorded today, is it okay for the two of you to share a dressing room?" the PD asked.
Kwon Ji-yong smiled at her gently and said first, "It's okay."
Chi Tae-ri sat down next to him, and Kwon Ji-yong looked at his phone.
The dressing room fell into silence again, but he could not concentrate. He looked up helplessly, and there was a gentle smile on his handsome face. "Have you been well?
These few days … "
"It's been like that."
Chi Tae-ri returned a polite smile. In fact, she had not been well these few days. Because of her relationship with him, her popularity had not decreased. Every day, there were reporters coming to interview her, and every day, there would be fans coming to visit her. There was also a lot of news about her on the Internet, and even a lot of her private information had been dug up by the media. All this attention had seriously affected her life and work. How could she be well?
However, they were not friends at all. She believed that he was only asking to deal with the awkwardness of the two of them sharing a dressing room. Naturally, she did not need to be too serious.
"Thank you so much for that day."
"You're welcome. That's what I should do."
"Did you receive my gift?"
