It was a weekend so perfectly prepared and executed that it felt perfect.

From the engagement ring brought all the way from abroad to the secluded and charming restaurant reserved exclusively for the two of them, and even a surprise event to astonish Gaeul.

Having prepared an event-like thing for someone was a bit awkward for Giktae, as it was the first time in his life, but as long as it made Gaeul happy, it was enough. What Gaeul liked was something I also liked.

Hope it remains as an unforgettable memory.

As Giktae meticulously scanned the surroundings, a cute cake that had just been completed entered his discerning eyes.

Recalling the adorable way Gaeul enjoyed the cookies from SWEET & CHOKO last time, he impulsively invited the French pastry chef he knew.

Since Gaeul seemed to brighten up more when eating desserts than during meals, he paid special attention to desserts.

‘I wonder if she’ll get a bit embarrassed when she unintentionally gets whipped cream on her lips and then looks at me like a child. She will probably then shyly offer me a bite.’

Although she was not usually a big eater, whenever she showed a good appetite, it always looked beautiful.

So, if it was something she liked, I wanted to buy it all for her.

She liked it, but the fact that it made her smile brought me an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

A full-fledged smile now appeared on his face. It was because he vividly pictured her enjoying what he had prepared.

‘Cute Yoon Gaeul.’

Upon careful observation, everything was perfect.

Yet, despite being nervous…

Before leaving the restaurant, he approached the chef and said something quietly.

“I’ll see you at the appointed time.”

“Yes, CEO.”

“Please do it smoothly.”

As he left the restaurant, he naturally took out his phone and called Gaeul.

Soon, beyond the receiver, the voice of my cute girlfriend came through.

Hello? CEO? You said you had something to do in the morning, and it’s already over?

Today, not knowing what he would do, Giktae chuckled at the cheerful and innocent voice.

‘I shouldn’t give it away.’

Giktae suppressed his laughter with a full mouth. For the surprise event to remain a surprise, he had to hide it carefully now.

Clearing his throat, Giktae answered in a serious tone.

“…Yeah. I’ll come to pick you up at the scheduled time.”

Yes. Will you come to the main building as usual? Then I’ll wait in front of the main building.

“No. I’ll call you when I arrive. It’s cold, so stay inside.”

Okay. Then, I’ll wait for you in front of the main building. Take your time, and drive safely.

“Yeah. See you later.”

A smile that couldn’t be hidden appeared on Giktae’s face again as he ended the call.

It felt like excitement, but he was still a bit nervous.
I was happy at the same time. Today was the day I had been looking forward to the most.

Quickly leaving the building, Giktae got into my sedan and started the engine.

Not wanting to be disturbed during our time alone, today Giktae chose not to bring a driver and took the steering wheel himself.

As he turned the handle, the sedan left the restaurant.

Rrrr……. Rrrr…….

At that moment, Giktae’s phone began to ring.

Unable to answer the call while driving, Giktae cleanly ignored the ringing phone.

However, after ringing for a while and being cut off, the call rang again. Though he didn’t know who it was, the persistent caller irritated Giktae, and he grumpily pulled the car over to the side.

Checking the caller ID, it turned out to be his secretary.

‘I told them not to call unless it’s urgent.’

With an expression that indicated how annoying it was, Giktae answered the phone.

“What’s the matter?”

If it was an unreasonable reason, he was about to hang up.

However, it wasn’t an unreasonable reason. The secretary’s voice sounded quite urgent.

“CEO! I’m sorry for contacting you even though you told me not to. I think I should tell you because there’s an article about Miss Yoon Gaeul’s driver now. Have you seen the article?”

“Gaeul’s driver?”

“Yes, CEO. It’s an exclusive article from the Seoul Daily.”

Giktae tried to recall any recent articles related to Gaeul.

“Is it written by Reporter Kang Young-gyu?”

“No. It’s a different article, but… the content is a bit strange.”

Was there another article besides that one? Trying to guess another article that might come up, Giktae, who had suppressed the secretary’s somewhat verbose explanation, urged impatiently.

“Why are you bothering me so much about this article?”

During this, he was concerned that Gaeul would be waiting for a long time.

“It’s urgent, so please look at it quickly.”

His secretary, who hesitated for a moment, cautiously answered.

“That… it’s not that Miss Yoon Gaeul’s father passed away due to an illness, but… he committed suicide due to financial difficulties. The article is about the truth surrounding the death of Yoon Gaeul’s father, Yoon Dae-ho, a genius emerging painter and representative of Korea.”
