After saying that, he gave her some vivid advice to plan well, whether she had an appointment after work or was exercising. The newcomer clapped like a seal. He even told her that she should be quietly happy because it was too obvious.

But the person who wanted to clap the most was Yeon Woo.

‘I am guaranteed a week without Kwon Jun Hwi!’

Suppressing her excited mood as much as possible, Yeon Woo gathered the things needed for the business trip preparation and went to his room.

Feeling her presence, he looked at Yeon Woo, took off the glasses he was wearing, and pressed his deepset eyes firmly.

‘He seems to be in a bad mood.’
Could it be because of the newcomer’s words? His slow arm movement, rubbing his jaw, looked sensitive.

With a wordless look, he asked what was happening. Yeon Woo flinched weakly at his sharp gaze, which she hadn’t seen for a long time.

“Attorney, I need you to review the business trip documents.”
“……”
“I’ve also included a copy of your passport and a secure USB.”
“Is that so.”
“The airline ticket has not been issued yet, but I’ll give it to you as soon as it’s approved.”
“Are you happy that I’m going on a business trip?”
“What?”
Suddenly, he stood up from his seat, leaned against the desk at an angle, and tilted his body towards Yeon Woo.

His gaze, even lowered, remained above Yeon Woo’s, as he heatedly observed her.

“You seem excited to prepare this and that even though there are still two days left.”
What exactly is it that he doesn’t like? Jun Hwi’s deep voice was particularly cold that day.

Swallowing dryly, Yeon Woo’s Adam’s apple moved. Because even the slight fluttering he had shown a while ago disappeared in an instant.

“No, I’m not excited… just as usual.”
“Do you feel bad because you won’t see me for a week?”
“……”
His halflowered eyes began to wrap Yeon Woo slowly.

She too was well aware of the desire flickering vividly in his pupils.

Why is he suddenly like this, and that too in the office.

As he took another step closer, Yeon Woo instinctively looked at the halfopen door.

Seeing Yeon Woo looking for an escape route, Jun Hwi smirked.

“Contact me. While I’m away.”
“Yes, yes? …Why?”
“Why? Aren’t you going to report the key tasks?”
At the same time, he looked at Yeon Woo obsessively, like a beast seeking an opportunity to attack.

Right. She had forgotten for a while. He was originally this kind of man.

A man who went through the highs and lows of his mood without considering the other person.

His sudden desire to conquer Yeon Woo was blatantly shown in the office, not the bedroom, for the first time.

She couldn’t help but recall their secret times, which her body still remembered. Just like that time, the passion was far away.

“Yes. I will contact you.”
Barely managing her rising breath, Yeon Woo spoke quickly and fled the scene. No, she tried to flee.

But he was faster. Jun Hwi, who had followed Yeon Woo, reached out and closed the door she was trying to leave open.

Surprised by the sound of the door closing with a bang, Yeon Woo turned around.

“Contact me even if it’s not workrelated. Even if there’s nothing special.”
“……”

He stretched his other arm toward the door as well.

Caught between the door and Jun Hwi, Yeon Woo ended up standing in an awkward position, not quite embraced within his arms.

She didn’t expect kindness from him, but at least she wanted to know why he was putting up his guard against her as if to vent his anger on a random person.

Was he just playing with her as a way to vent his anger? What then, was the slight tremor in his deepset eyes?

“Don’t drink. Don’t wear clothes like this.” He spat out increasingly incomprehensible words and pointed to Yeon Woo’s shoulder with his chin.

Amidst all this, a sense of injustice surged. Yeon Woo’s navy boatneck dress was not deeply cut, it only exposed up to her shoulders and collarbone, it was modest.

“Especially sitting face to face with a stranger, having a meal and chatting. Don’t do that.”
“What?”
“It’s even worse with someone you know.”
His words today were the pinnacle of incomprehensibility.

‘Does he think he’s my boyfriend?’
Yeon Woo let out a tense breath without realizing it and gave a hollow laugh.

“It’s not a joke.”
He came closer again and murmured so close that they could almost bump into each other.

His knee came closer, pressing against Yeon Woo’s leg, and their clothes brushed against each other. Yeon Woo regretted relaxing even for a moment.

“Why are you doing this?”
“I don’t want to go on a business trip.”
As soon as he gave his succinct answer, Jun Hwi’s fingertips tried to touch Yeon Woo’s hair. Yeon Woo dodged it by turning her head slightly.

“……”
Surprisingly, he promptly withdrew his hand and stepped back gracefully. For someone who was rejected, he even managed to lift the corners of his lips.

He also withdrew his gaze, which had been slowly scanning Yeon Woo’s plump cheeks and full lips.

Jun Hwi opened the door he had closed in haste himself.

Only Yeon Woo’s mind became more chaotic.

“What the hell.”
Yeon Woo had to run straight to the restroom instead of her seat and catch her breath while leaning on the sink.

She would rather he lose his temper like before. That would be much easier to handle.

Why he didn’t want to go on a business trip, even though he didn’t give a reason, he suddenly trapped Yeon Woo within his grasp, acting like a clingy boyfriend.

While he was pushing her like he would never let go, he easily let go when she dodged his touch once. What was that about?

His unpredictable behavior made Yeon Woo’s heart pound and then flutter like a roller coaster ride.

Suddenly, she thought that he might have been more considerate of her since she rejected his proposal.

Even when Yeon Woo dealt with him, she felt strangely comfortable. She had been off guard because there was no hint of anything when they were alone.

‘From now on, I need to be more careful.’
If she didn’t stay alert, it could have been a disaster when he had pushed his way in just as she had earlier.

In fact, the situation was too dangerous just a moment ago.

Seeing his eyes so seductively lowered, Yeon Woo feared she might lose her senses and cause an incident at the office.

Such an accident with a superior should not be repeated.

Yeon Woo exhaled deeply and looked at herself in the mirror before returning to her desk.

As she adjusted her clothing, Jun Hwi’s absurd words kept ringing in her ears.

‘Don’t drink. Don’t wear revealing clothes.’
‘Contact me even outside of work, even if there’s nothing special.’
No, really, who does he think he is, policing her drinking and clothing habits and asking her to contact him?

She should definitely be offended. But the more she chewed on his direct, addictive expressions, the more her face flushed.

‘What do I do!’
She felt like she might never calm down.

Yeon Woo quickly turned on the faucet and clutched her cheeks with her hands cooled by the cold water.
