"Sorry!" Aiden also realized that he had said too much, and apologized to Choi Ji-Yoon, but what he got in return was a murderous glare from her.
"Alright, alright, he already apologized, don't be like that." Jill quickly stepped forward to soothe Choi Ji-Yoon, then asked her, "What do you plan to do with her? Kill her? Or?"
Choi Ji-Yoon was originally rolling her eyes at Jill siding with Aiden, but upon hearing this, she froze, thought for a while, and said, "Of course keep her first."
Then a sly smile surfaced on her face, "Just now she said I need to be educated, hmph, I want to see who really needs educating. So, I'm keeping her to properly train her, hehe…"
Hearing her laugh, even someone unafraid of death like Irina couldn't help but shudder. She gritted her teeth and glared at Choi Ji-Yoon, asking, "What do you want to do to me?"
"Do what?" Choi Ji-Yoon glanced at Roberta, and a plan immediately popped into her mind. She turned to Aiden and said, "Aiden, do you want another maid?"
"What did you say?" Aiden was stunned, thinking he misheard. Then he saw Roberta and Fabiola glaring angrily at Choi Ji-Yoon.
"I said, do you want another maid?" Choi Ji-Yoon patiently repeated.
"That's not appropriate, you're a soldier," Jill said from the side.
"That was in the past. I've already been transferred to another department." Choi Ji-Yoon suddenly became impatient. "Just say yes or no." This last part was directed at Aiden.
"Well…" Aiden hesitated, looking at Jill and Roberta, trying to ask for their opinion.
Roberta and Fabiola naturally didn't agree, shaking their heads repeatedly, while Jill continued trying to persuade Choi Ji-Yoon.
But Choi Ji-Yoon directly made the decision, "Forget it, whether you want her or not, I'm going to train her. If she doesn't behave, I'll hand her over to the American government. At that point… hmph, the American government isn't as kind as I am."
Seeing how firm she was, Jill couldn't say much more. In fact, she agreed with some of what Choi Ji-Yoon said. As an American herself, she'd had dealings with those bureaucrats and knew what kind of fate Irina would meet if she fell into the U.S. government's hands.
After thinking it over, Jill still added, "If you ask me, just killing her would be better."
"That'd be too easy for her," Choi Ji-Yoon said coldly.

Because too many people died this time, after finishing their conversation, Aiden and the women first brought Irina back to their residence, leaving Dutch and the others to assist Balalaika's clean-up team with handling the bar corpses.
Of course, "handling corpses" was more about comforting the bar owner, who was nearly in tears. After this fight, his bar would have to close for renovations again.
So, as Aiden and the others were getting into the car, the bar owner chased after them, shouting that he would never let them enter his bar again.
However, the only reply he got was Revy extending a middle finger from the car window...
"Tonight we're all staying at your place, especially for this period, she's staying at your place." Just after getting out of the car, Choi Ji-Yoon came looking for Aiden.
Aiden was helping Jill take her luggage from the car. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why?"
Choi Ji-Yoon pointed at Irina, who was sandwiched between Roberta and Fabiola, "I don't trust her."
"What's there not to trust?" Aiden asked, "Besides, aren't you going to train her? Wouldn't living together be more convenient?"
"This woman's at least as strong as me, I don't want to live alone with her. I'm afraid she'll kill me in my sleep," Choi Ji-Yoon said honestly.
"If that's the concern, how about doing what Jill suggested, just shoot her." Aiden proposed.
Jill nodded, "Yeah, she's not a good person anyway."
"I already said, that'd be too easy on her," Choi Ji-Yoon said. "Even if we are going to kill her, it won't be now. I'm someone who keeps her word. If I said I'll train her, I'll train her."
Her words made Aiden mutter quietly, "Calling that keeping your word is a disgrace to the term."
"What did you say?" Choi Ji-Yoon didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." Aiden shook his head, then said, "If you want to stay, stay. It's not like I'm losing anything."
"Well, that's true. A house full of beauties, and only one guy, you're getting a huge bargain." Choi Ji-Yoon clapped his shoulder like he just hit the jackpot, then turned and went upstairs.
Watching her silhouette disappear in the stairwell, Aiden tilted his head to look at Jill and asked, "Is she always like this?"
Jill thought for a while, then said, "Not always. When she's on missions, she's very serious. Hmm… I guess you could call her a textbook ice-cold beauty."
"Don't ruin the image of an ice-cold beauty I have in my heart. I think she's more like a female thug." Aiden murmured.
Sighing, Aiden pulled himself together and said to Jill, "Let's go, Jill. Let's go home."
"Mm!" Jill nodded.
———
Back at home, Roberta and Fabiola had already thrown the tightly bound Irina into a corner. She was now sitting on the ground with a stubborn look, but her mouth was stuffed and she could only glare fiercely at Choi Ji-Yoon.
At this moment, Choi Ji-Yoon was lying on the coffee table, writing and drawing on a piece of paper. Next to her, Revy was watching with great curiosity.
Aiden went over to take a glance after entering, and when he saw it was a so-called maid-training plan, he left speechlessly.
Jill put her backpack down and walked around the room. After discovering there were only two bedrooms, she asked, "Aiden, where am I sleeping tonight?"
"Uh, I need to think about that." Aiden suddenly regretted agreeing to let Choi Ji-Yoon move in. The place was small, he couldn't just let Jill sleep on the floor or the couch, right?
"What's there to think about? You two can sleep together. I've seen the master bedroom bed, it's big enough for three or four people, more than enough for whatever you plan to do." Choi Ji-Yoon looked up from her paper with a mischievous grin at Jill.
"As for me, I'll sleep in the guest room with the two maids. I can keep an eye on Irina. Just keep it down at night. I don't mind noise, I can solve my needs myself, but Irina can't, since she's tied up."
Even though Aiden had thick skin, he still felt his face heat up after hearing that, but he felt he needed to clarify something.
"Um, usually, I sleep with Roberta." Aiden looked at Jill a bit awkwardly.
Let's not talk about Jill and Revy's expressions after hearing that, Choi Ji-Yoon immediately jumped up.
"They're so skilled, I thought they were just maids who doubled as bodyguards. Didn't think they also… serve in bed. But I guess it makes sense, those two maids are really pretty. If I were a guy, I wouldn't let them go either. Whoa, what are you doing?!"
As she kept rambling, Roberta had enough. She pulled out her pistol and slammed it on the coffee table in front of her, scaring her.
"Say one more word and I'll tie you up too, and use everything you just wrote on yourself." Roberta said coldly.
Choi Ji-Yoon looked at the head maid nervously. She had seen her fight before. In her opinion, even with Jill's help, they probably couldn't beat Roberta. So she immediately backed down.
But even though she gave up inside, she still said, "If you really want to try it on me, I just hope the maid outfit is one size larger. If it's too small, I can't fit."
Roberta stared at her expressionlessly and said nothing.
On Aiden's side, now that Choi Ji-Yoon had gone quiet, he heard Jill sigh softly and say, "Although I already suspected it, Aiden, aren't you worried that Ada would be hurt?"
She originally wanted to say "me," but since their parting at Raccoon City, she felt Aiden's relationship with Ada was closer than with her, so she decided to bring Ada up instead.
"Actually… Ada knows." Aiden said weakly.
Now it was Jill's turn to be speechless. She widened her eyes, looking around at all the women in the room, especially Revy, who seemed deep in thought, and didn't know what to say.
In the end, even though she came from the free USA, as a former police officer, she still found it a bit hard to accept.
Taking a deep breath, Jill slowly said, "I… I'm going to rest in Choi Ji-Yoon's room first. Let me… think."
She asked Choi Ji-Yoon for the key, took her bag, and left.
Watching the door close, Choi Ji-Yoon mischievously said, "According to 8PM soap opera logic, you should chase after her right now and then..."
"Apologize to her, right? I don't think that'll work." Aiden shrugged, feeling a bit troubled.
"No no no, that definitely won't work. What I meant was, you should go in there and confront her directly, then sleep with her. You've already captured her heart, now you just need to capture her body. That'll solve everything. You really think she's mad because you slept with other women? No, she just feels like she wasn't valued enough." Choi Ji-Yoon propped her chin up and explained.
"That… makes a lot of sense." Aiden nodded as if enlightened. Then suspiciously asked, "You seem to know a lot about this."
Choi Ji-Yoon spread her hands, "If you were bored every night and watched this country's 8PM dog-blood love dramas, you'd be like me too."
"Forget it, I never watch that stuff." Aiden shook his head, then looked at Roberta.
"Go." Roberta smiled at him, but sighed inwardly.
"I'll be with you tomorrow night." Aiden gave her an apologetic look, then walked out the door.
Watching Aiden leave, Revy hesitated.
Choi Ji-Yoon noticed and said, "I suggest you wait until next time."
"Next time, huh…" Revy clenched her fists, then relaxed and nodded.
———
The next day, Aiden returned to his rented house.
In the living room, Choi Ji-Yoon was sleeping on the couch. Although the room had air conditioning, she had taken off her pants for comfort and was only covered with a light blanket.
When Aiden came in, the blanket had already slid off, revealing two pale white legs.
Though he got an eyeful, seeing that she had curled up from the cold, Aiden walked over, picked up the blanket, and covered her again. Then he stepped back and stared at her face.
Honestly, when she was asleep, she did fit the image of an "ice-cold beauty" that Jill described. But remembering the things she said with that face, he sighed helplessly. It just didn't match the version of Choi Ji-Yoon in his mind.
As he was zoning out, Choi Ji-Yoon opened her eyes lazily and asked, "Am I ugly, or is my figure too poor to please your eyes? Why the sigh? Didn't see what you wanted?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her curled-up legs, crossed them, and struck a very alluring pose in front of Aiden.
