A Light Contract (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 6

Eun Hye trudged wearily up the hill toward her cozy little villa, dragging her exhausted body along.

Her mother’s relentless questioning about Yoo Gun—sparked by yet another disastrously failed blind date—had left Eun Hye flustered yet again today.

What ulterior motive could the CEO of a successful company possibly have toward her younger sister’s secretary, of all people?

Though she pitied her mother for jumping to absurd conclusions, Eun Hye couldn’t very well spill the whole truth either. She could only listen silently to her mother’s barrage of accusations.

Back when she’d nursed a painful one-sided crush alone, she’d occasionally let her imagination run wild, fantasizing about some ambiguous relationship with Yoo Gun—but that was nothing more than pure delusion.

Yoo Gun stood right before her feet, slightly frowning from the sudden brightness.

“C-CEO Jin Yoo Gun?”

As if the light were too harsh, Yoo Gun gave a small downward flick of his hand. Realizing belatedly that she’d just shone it directly in his face, Eun Hye quickly aimed the light downward. Only then did Yoo Gun’s expression relax, and he looked at her warmly.
