Kyle barely held back his laughter, ready to burst.
Once again, he was wrong.
Sehee always veered off his expectations.
Seeing Kyle with his eyes closed in apparent deep thought, Sehee was confused.
What’s going on?
After a while, when he lowered his hand, his face seemed flushed.
Was he angry?
Unable to decipher his state, Sehee was bewildered.
Then, there was another knock on the door.
“Excuse me. Your secretary is here.”
The chief manager entered, politely relaying the message.
Kyle then realized he had postponed all his paperwork to sit here.
What a ridiculous mistake.
“I’ll be back shortly. Feel free to enjoy your meal.”
Kyle stood up.
“Okay. I’ll give you ten minutes.”
Sehee playfully mimicked his haughty expression as Kyle turned to leave.
Exiting the room, Kyle sighed softly and shook his head, as if he couldn’t help it.
Entering his office, Kyle immediately picked up the documents.
He hurriedly grabbed his laptop and turned to leave.
“Sir?”
Dave was puzzled by Kyle’s incomprehensible behavior.
“I never knew ten minutes could be so short.”
“Sir?”
Dave looked on, lost for words as Kyle made an enigmatic comment.
“Dave, please sort out the rest of the documents.”
“Where are you going?”
“Hurry. Only six minutes left.”
Fortunately, the restaurant was a short distance from his office.
Thanks to him, Dave became busily caught up in gathering documents.
“It’s ready.”
After receiving the rest of the documents from Dave, Kyle hurriedly left the office.
After Kyle left, Sehee relaxed her tensed arms and legs, finally feeling at ease to eat.
The dishes were obviously top-notch at first glance.
She wondered how many staff members must have been troubled to prepare them.
Sehee, working in the hotel business, had encountered many difficult VIP clients during her service work.
She recalled bowing her head in front of customers who frequently demanded to see the manager.
That’s why she empathized more with the staff who must have been flustered preparing these off-menu dishes for Kyle, rather than appreciating Kyle’s efforts for her.
She felt a bit guilty towards Kyle for not appreciating his efforts, but the sight of the delicious food delighted her.
Forgetting her promise to return in ten minutes, Sehee happily picked up her spoon.
Just as she was about to take a bite of the soup, the door suddenly opened.
“What, what’s going on?”
Startled, Sehee looked at Kyle who had just entered.
“There’s still one minute left.”
“Huh?”
Sehee, with eyes wide like a startled rabbit, watched Kyle stride towards the back auxiliary table.
He placed the laptop and document bag he brought on the table.
“What’s all this?”
“I’m going to focus on work for exactly one hour from now. After that, I’ll talk about taking responsibility.”
Kyle declared firmly as he sat down, as if making a proclamation.
“Do you think you can finish all this in ten minutes?”
Shaking the pile of documents he brought, Kyle asked rhetorically.
Sehee couldn’t help but burst into laughter at his seemingly petulant expression.
She laughed so hard that tears of amusement glistened in her eyes.
Kyle watched her laugh with an indifferent gaze.
Sehee.
A fascinating woman.
If anyone else had laughed at him like this, they wouldn’t have gotten away with it.
No, there was no one else who dared to laugh in his presence.
But it wasn’t just that.
He wouldn’t have been pushed to hurry in ten minutes by anyone else.
Yet, he found Sehee’s laughing face not unpleasant.
He even wanted to keep looking at it.
Something fluttered in Kyle’s heart.
He was surprised to vaguely realize what that emotion was.
Kyle then fixed his gaze on the piled-up documents.
He dismissed the unnecessary emotion.
As if nothing had happened, Kyle turned on his laptop and calmly composed himself.
“Doesn’t feel good to be on the receiving end, does it?”
But then Sehee’s laughter-filled voice again stirred Kyle.
He deliberately didn’t look away from the documents.
“So, in the future, be nice and don’t do that,” Sehee playfully tapped Kyle’s shoulder and turned around.
Kyle felt a jolt in his heart.
That was close.
He almost grabbed her as she turned away.
He carefully exhaled a deep breath, pressing down his heated emotions.
Unaware of everything, Sehee sat back at the main table and glanced at Kyle while eating.
He’s really a remarkable man.
Someone had said that a man looks most attractive when he’s engrossed in his work.
That saying was the truth.
Sehee was feeling this firsthand right at this moment.
The sleeves of Kyle’s blue shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing his wrists and large hands that boasted unusually white skin.
Moreover, the straight and prominent veins on the back of his white hands moved in sync with his movements, stimulating Sehee’s attention.
Unconsciously, Sehee’s gaze began to follow the lines of his veins.
Her eyes trailed over his pale, large hands, slowly moving upwards.
The sensation triggered her imagination, visualizing the firm arms hidden beneath Kyle’s blue shirt.
Even the image of well-defined muscles and veins running along his arms became vivid.
A strange feeling enveloped Sehee.
Without realizing, she swallowed dryly.
Her gaze then traveled up his shoulders, eventually resting on Kyle’s lips.
Suddenly, she felt the intensity of his gaze directly on her.
Kyle’s icy blue eyes met Sehee’s intrigued gaze head-on.

Short scene 2:

Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
