On Thursday, Heeuk visited the department store ring shop again during lunchtime.

Since Hyunji strongly wanted after-sales service, there was no choice. It was supposed to be done smoothly after secretly purchasing and switching it.

“I apologize for changing my decision.”

“No problem, sir. I sincerely hope your proposal is a success.”

After purchasing the ring again and exchanging greetings with the staff, Heeuk tasted bitterness.

For a matter that could be resolved with 5.5 million won, he spent 60 million won. Instead of just buying the genuine product from the beginning and casually forgetting about it, he went through unnecessary trouble recognizing the fake and dealing with forgery. A waste of money and unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, he had to figure out how to swap this ring with a fake one. Heeuk had to do it without Hyunji knowing, but today, Hyunji didn’t let go of the ring even for a moment.

While pondering how to overcome this difficulty and feeling disheartened, Kim Taejun, a director from K Group, appeared in the parking lot.

Having a meeting in Seoul, Taejun stopped by the department store. He received a message that Soeun’s glasses had arrived. After picking up the glasses and heading to the parking lot, someone called him from behind.

“Director Kim Taejun?”

Turning his head, Taejun stopped walking.

“Attorney Yang Heeuk.”

“Nice to see you again. Korea is really small.”

“That’s true.”

Heeuk was the same as before. The unmistakable greedy look, even when hidden, was still there. This time, it seemed a bit more blatant and arrogant. Since the contract in a superior-subordinate relationship was terminated, it was likely that a more revealing side of him would emerge.

“I hope you’ve been well. I was very disappointed that you unilaterally withdrew from the contract. You didn’t contact me separately either.”

“I apologize. I’ll apologize.”

Taejun apologized without any change in expression.

“I thought the first contract would go smoothly, but it didn’t turn out as expected, and I was also disappointed. Please understand.”

“Still, is there any chance of restocking? I’ll definitely make the next contract a success.”

“Well, that might be difficult.”

“Oh. That’s regrettable.”

Even his regretful expression looked mocking. Taejun noticed that he was being sarcastic. With no intention of dealing with him for long, Taejun greeted him and was about to turn away, but Heeuk spoke again.

“In fact, your ex-girlfriend is at the central service center of K Electronics, where you work.”

Taejun’s eyes narrowed as he stopped his steps again.

“Is that so.”

“Her name is Han Soeun. Do you happen to know her?”

“Han Soeun, a team leader, right? I’m aware.”

“In fact, I broke up with that girlfriend a while ago. On the day we broke up, I saw her hugging you and my ex-girlfriend.”

“Such an incident occurred. I supported Han Soeun because she seemed unwell.”

With a gaze that seemed to examine his own expression, Heeuk dryly responded.

“You’re a warm person. How is Soeun doing now?”

“I don’t know. I don’t have the time to personally check on each employee.”
“Breaking up must be tough. I’m a bit worried because she’s a kind person. She’s the only friend I know.”

He quickly grasped that these were words brought up to see his reaction, but even so, he couldn’t completely hide his emotions. Taejun’s fist tightened with force.

“Why don’t you contact her yourself.”

“……. ”

“Then, goodbye.”

Taejun politely bid farewell and turned away.

Soeun, who returned home early, was immersed in contemplation.

Since they decided to spend 2 nights and 3 days together starting tomorrow, she needed to pack, but she felt clueless about what to take. It would probably be just a few pieces of clothing, and since she didn’t have many clothes, she felt disheartened. How many clothes to take, and underwear…

‘Ah, underwear…’

There were pretty ones she hadn’t worn yet. However, Soeun didn’t want to show her underwear to Taejun. He was unaware of the surgery scars on Soeun’s body. It was a wound she absolutely didn’t want him to see. A wound she wanted to hide forever if possible…

But she wanted to spend the night with him. She wondered what it would feel like to be warmly loved by someone she liked.

Am I too easy?

But, but… Could there be anyone who wouldn’t fall for a man with such dazzling beauty, who is so busy and affectionate, and who wants to be with her all weekend?

Soeun wanted to be a person who was more honest about her desires.

After much deliberation while choosing clothes, her phone vibrated. It was Taejun, who had external schedules all day and couldn’t be seen at the company. Soeun answered the call warmly.

“Hello.”

The affectionate voice in a low register made her jump from her seat.

Taejun parked his car openly in front of Soeun’s house, waiting for her.

Not long after waiting, Soeun rushed down. She had been restless all day at work, but seeing Soeun’s brightened face made him feel generous.
