“You don’t believe me.”
“Wasn’t it more than what was written in the contract that we could trust each other?”
Ye Seul felt like she had been hit in the back of the head by Si Heon’s sharp words.
“I… ”
Ye Seul was unable to continue speaking and stood still for a moment.
“I guess I was mistaken.”
How long had they known each other for her to expect this man to trust her?
Until just a while ago, Ye Seul had also not trusted Si Heon.
Nevertheless, the warmth that Si Heon showed had intoxicated her with the feeling of being special with him.
“Ms. Ye Seul, I’m sorry if I hurt you. Let’s just do something pleasant. I don’t think we need to know each other to this extent.”
She had forgotten.
What Si Heon wanted was not a real marriage but a game of being a real couple.
“But I hope you won’t misunderstand Sebastian.”
Ye Seul licked her dry lips, trying to defend Sebastian.
“Ms. Ye Seul, I don’t want to hear any more.”
Ye Seul flinched as Si Heon’s expression seemed worse than before.
Knock, knock.
The sound of knocking broke through the heavy atmosphere of the conference room.
“Sir, the guest is here.”
“I will go now.”
Si Heon left the meeting room without saying a word to Ye Seul.
The sight of Si Heon leaving without even looking at her seemed strange.
A hollow laughter slipped out.
What kind of relationship did she expect him to believe in?
Ye Seul felt so stupid for trying so hard to justify herself.
“Ugh. Really, Baek Si Heon is like a brat! What is it? Just want to have fun with me? Listen to people.”
Ye Seul gripped her head in frustration.
Why was she feeling so unjust and angry about whether Si Heon thought whatever he wanted as long as the contract was made properly?
“I should… do my work.”
When faced with complicated issues or concerns, she always immersed herself in making chocolate in the kitchen by trying out new ideas.
If only life went as precisely as a dessert recipe…
Ye Seul slightly lifted her head, closed her mouth firmly as if making a resolution, and boldly left the conference room.
((()))((()))((()))
“Haven’t you left yet?”
The security guard knocked on the sample room door.
“Oh! I’m about to go now.”
Ye Seul, who was standing blankly in front of the washed utensils, answered in surprise.
“The building is closing soon. Then, please check out.”
“Yes. Take care.”
Ye Seul stretched out to regain her composure and picked up her coat.
Throughout the day, she tried not to think about the troubling matters, immersing herself in her work until she felt her body vibrating with exhaustion.
Images of Baek Si Heon’s gaze kept surfacing in her mind, almost causing her to fail in controlling the tempering temperature.
The day had been a mess.
“I’m really tired today.”
On days when nothing went right, she realized she had already made a mistake in the morning.
There was an interview scheduled for the magazine before the opening of C’du Core, and she had been late.
She mistook the time for the interview, and despite Ye Seul’s efforts to arrive thirty minutes early, she was actually thirty minutes late.
After the awkward interview, she managed to get to work.
The root cause of all this was her decision to meet Juliet in the company lobby.
She might have been better off not hearing that story.
Ye Seul didn’t realize Juliet harbored such animosity towards her.
She remembered getting along well with her as fellow Korean chefs at C’du.
Above all, they had similar tastes in chocolate and had even come up with the same designs.
She thought it wouldn’t be bad to get along with Juliet, even though they would be competitors.
But to think Juliet assumed Ye Seul had used underhanded methods to become a chocolatier…
The office was about a tenminute walk from her apartment.
As she walked, Ye Seul replayed the day’s events in her mind.
Baek Si Heon seemed to believe that Ye Seul and Sebastian had some sort of relationship.
“Do I have to explain this…? He probably wouldn’t listen anyway.”
Ye Seul sighed as she punched in the passcode at the entrance.
“I’m home.”
The kitchen lights were on, signaling that Si Heon was back.
“You’re late. Go wash up.”
Si Heon was pouring a bottle of wine.
“Did you have dinner?”
As if forgetting the day’s events, Si Heon greeted Ye Seul as usual.
“Ah, well…just something quick.”
Ye Seul stood by Si Heon, stammering a bit.
Si Heon looked down at Ye Seul with a puzzled expression.
Ye Seul rustled and offered a box.
“Today’s sample is Foret Noir. I think you should taste it, Si Heon.”
She made it especially to break the tense atmosphere with Si Heon, but she didn’t want to say that much.
“Merci.”
Si Heon opened the box with a truly happy smile.
The box contained a deliciouslooking cherrytopped cream that covered layers of chocolate sponge.
“Ye Seul, this looks really delicious. I’m looking forward to it.”
“….Eat up. I’ll go take a shower.”
Ye Seul regretted not telling Si Heon that she made it for him.
Ye Seul, looking at the powder room mirror, decided to affirm her innocence to Si Heon one more time.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
