Yuri, who had driven herself for the first time in a while, got out of the car with a reminiscent expression on her face.

The destination was the parking lot of TK Hotel.

She expected a call from In-ho, but it happened faster than she thought.

Since she had seen In-ho directly last night, the person who contacted her made her briefly doubt if it was really In-ho.

But the tone of the voice she heard on the phone was undoubtedly Seo In-ho.

The effect of the video was indeed impressive.

Even though it had only been a day, the fact that he contacted her made Yuri ecstatic. The location In-ho suggested for their meeting made her even more excited.

TK Hotel was a facility under TK Group, In-ho’s household.

Yuri couldn’t hide her excited feelings even now that she had arrived at TK Hotel after preparing for the outing.

The fact that she would secretly meet Seo In-ho at TK Hotel confused her mind.

Yuri took a deep breath. Then, she headed for the entrance connected to the parking lot.

Walking with a haughty step, she took out the sunglasses she had put in the clutch.

Wearing sunglasses on purpose to her flashy attire, she completed a look that could attract everyone’s attention regardless of age or gender.

Yuri checked her appearance reflected on the elevator door and raised her chin.

She went up in the elevator until she reached the agreed place with In-ho.

Every step she took was exhilarating.

Arriving at the entrance of the hotel lounge where she had an appointment with In-ho, Yuri looked perplexed when the door didn’t open.

Even when In-ho suggested meeting at the hotel lounge for the first time, it was strange.

The lounge would be an open place operated for customers who had checked in. Was it not strange to meet there?

However, since it was TK Hotel, not just any hotel, she thought In-ho would handle it.

Yuri glanced around and peeked through the glass door of the lounge.

She saw In-ho sitting not far away, looking through the transparent glass.

Just seeing him made an uncontrollable smile appear on her face.

The perplexed feelings disappeared, and all she thought about was wanting to meet In-ho soon.

She was about to take out her phone to call In-ho when an employee passing by, possibly serving the car In-ho ordered, noticed Yuri and hesitated for a moment.

After a brief pause, the employee placed the tray on a nearby table and opened the door for her.

“You can go over there.”

Whether the employee recognized her as Shin Yuri from her flamboyant appearance, or In-ho had given a prior heads-up, they naturally guided her.

It seemed that In-ho had thoughtfully informed someone in advance.

Even if it was a misconception, it was welcome.
Even in such a situation where one could make such a misconception, Yuri was simply overjoyed.

“Thank you.”

Yuri put on a public smile and greeted politely.

“Oppa.”

Hurrying over to In-ho, Yuri pretended to act casually as she took a seat across from him.

Only then did he, who had diverted his gaze from outside the window, look at Yuri with an unreadable expression.

In the meantime, an approaching employee placed a coffee cup in front of In-ho.

“What would you like to drink?”

In-ho gestured towards the employee and spoke to Yuri.

“I’ll have coffee too.”

In response to Yuri’s kind reply, In-ho nodded and looked back at the employee.

“Please prepare another cup of coffee. Just have it ready until there, and then vacate the seat, please.”

“Yes, understood.”

Following In-ho’s instructions, the employee promptly bowed and vacated the seat.

Instead of coffee, Yuri picked up the glass in front of her and glanced at In-ho.

With the fact that she was facing him, tension arose within her again.

Especially when In-ho, with a somewhat businesslike tone, asked the employee to vacate the seat, her heart pounded even more.

It felt thrilling, almost as if they were enjoying an affair away from the public eye.

“You came right on time.”

Taking a sip of coffee, In-ho spoke to Yuri.

At Yuri’s bright smile in response to a trivial remark, she nodded enthusiastically.

“Fortunately, it was a day without a schedule.”

“Luckily, the timing worked out well.”

At the end of his words, In-ho sipped his coffee with a gentle smile.

Simply pulling up her lips, she managed to make an expression so exquisite that it couldn’t be expressed in words.

Yuri shyly lowered her head to hide her blushing face.

“But why did you call me?”

While saying that, she briefly lifted her gaze at the end of the sentence to match his eyes.

It was her own expression known as the most beautiful and powerful weapon.

Their eyes met. Then, In-ho smirked with a perfect face that surpassed sophistication.

As if finding her cute, he even raised the hand he had placed under the table to touch his eyebrow.

Unknowingly, Yuri took a deep breath.

She couldn’t believe the situation in front of her.
