At Mrs. Na’s heartfelt voice, Minwoo furrowed his brows, took a sip of whiskey, and replied, “Why would you come? Just arrange for me to be reassigned to Korea.”

[Alright, Minwoo. Hang in there a little longer. I’ll somehow… How can I… I’ll bring you back.]

Unable to continue properly due to sobbing, Mrs. Na, Minwoo threw the whiskey glass against the wall in frustration.

Already in a state of pent-up anger, he was on the verge of going crazy due to Mrs. Na calling every day and bursting into tears over the phone.

Still, he couldn’t show his displeasure. Right now, the only person he could trust was Mrs. Na. Her relentless maternal love would make the impossible possible.

“But…”
Minwoo, waiting for Mrs. Na’s sobbing to subside, asked the question he wanted to ask.

“How is Yulli doing?”

[Yulli? Is her name coming out of your mouth now?]

Mrs. Na’s voice suddenly changed as if questioning when he last cried.

[All this happened because of you…]

“Is Yulli doing well?”

Minwoo was concerned about Hyunkyung suddenly returning to Korea.

If he had known, he would have put someone to watch over Yulli, despite Mrs. Na’s opposition… It wasn’t about listening to Mrs. Na’s advice to be careful for a while.

[You make yourself like this, and if she’s doing fine, isn’t that enough? She collapsed not too long ago and was hospitalized. She’s been discharged now.]

Minwoo’s face twisted at the news of Yulli collapsing.

“Why? Where does it hurt?”

[How would I know? Now that she’s fine, don’t worry about it.]

“Even though you said she was hospitalized, how can I not worry?”

[Weren’t you the one who was hospitalized? I also ended up in the hospital because of you. If you have time to worry about her, worry about your mother!]

Mrs. Na, seeming displeased, cut off the call unilaterally.

“Ugh…”

Cursing while staring at the screen that had been cut off, the woman lying with her back turned shivered.

Only now did Minwoo realize the presence of the other person and turned his head to the side. Delicate and white shoulders came into view.

She was the French Asian woman he met at the bar last night. She could barely speak Korean, with ‘hello’ and ‘I love you’ being the extent of her vocabulary, but she emitted a strangely similar atmosphere to Yulli.

Of course, her beauty couldn’t compare to Yulli’s. She was at a level where she couldn’t even be a substitute, but she wasn’t bad for relieving some desires. However, there were too many complications to do as he pleased.

Minwoo frowned, looking at the flawless woman’s back. Suddenly, the desire to make a mark surged uncontrollably.

However, this wasn’t Korea but France. Without Mrs. Na, who would settle things, causing trouble here would undoubtedly lead to a headache.

He needed to return to Korea soon to properly fulfill his pent-up desires…

“…Hmm.”

At that moment, as if waking up from sleep, the woman turned toward him. Yulli’s figure began to blurly overlap with the woman’s face as she opened her slightly hazy eyes.

Was it because of the intense emotions? Unlike last night, to Minwoo, the woman didn’t just seem similar in atmosphere but appeared as Yulli herself.

“Yulli.”

Reaching out to the woman, Minwoo pulled her into his arms forcefully, as if making a desperate confession.

“I love you. I love you so much that it drives me crazy!”

The bewildered woman tried to escape by twisting her body, but Minwoo held her even stronger, biting her lips forcefully like a hungry beast.

You’re mine even if you die.

Swallowing the soft moan in his mouth, Minwoo continued to ascend the woman’s body.

Chae Yulli, just wait a little longer.
I’ll make sure you don’t come to your senses when you go back.

⭐⭐⭐

On the way to the office, Jeho held the steering wheel with one hand and tightly held Yulli’s hand with the other. Whenever the car stopped at a traffic light, he turned his head lightly and matched their lips.

Yulli, who had been conscious of the surrounding gazes, eventually gave up and obediently offered her lips. She had given up trying to avoid him, and his deliberate approach seemed to provoke a rebellious spirit in her.

She could endure kisses even if she avoided the bed. No, it’s not about enduring; he thought it was okay to enjoy up to that extent. If not, physical intimacy would be torture for her.

When Jeho arrived at the underground parking lot, he turned off the engine and unbuckled his seatbelt. Then, he unfastened Yulli’s seatbelt.

As Yulli reached for the door handle to open it, her body suddenly turned toward Jeho. Looking at him with a puzzled expression, she heard him whispering, bowing his head.

“I thought you were going crazy.”

Although they lightly kissed whenever they received a stop signal, it wasn’t enough, and he fervently pressed Yulli’s lips against his, pushing her deep into the seat.

The passenger seat had fallen back, and the hot touch reached beyond the jacket, penetrating her blouse. Attempting such acts in the company parking lot was risky and daring.

What if someone sees?

However, Yulli didn’t push Jeho away. Just like before, an urge overwhelmed her. If she says she’s embarrassed and doesn’t want it, he would graciously retreat and tidy up her appearance. Then, he would say something like this.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know when to stop.”

He would lovingly gaze at her with eyes full of affection, gently combing her disheveled hair. He had been doing that all along.

Thinking that he was doing it out of love, but it was just a seduction technique. If she did the same, it would be over.

Surely, they wouldn’t cross the line in the car on the way to work.

“Don’t hold back.”

Softly detaching her lips, Yulli whispered seductively. As if he couldn’t believe what he just heard, a suspicious glint flashed in Jeho’s eyes.

“I feel like I might go crazy just like you, Mr. Jeho.”

Yulli recalled a languid smile and lightly stroked Jeho’s back with the palm of her hand.

As her gentle touch slid down, the rigid muscles felt tight and unyielding under her palm. However, instead of getting up, he looked at her with an inscrutable gaze.

He seemed perplexed by her reaction, and at the same time, he seemed to enjoy the situation.

“Fortunately, our opinions align.”

Jeho smirked, then opened the glove box and took something out. Seeing the rectangular package in his hand, Yulli gasped in disbelief.

This is insane!
Acting or not, realizing the extremely urgent situation, Yulli pushed Jeho away with all her strength. At the same time, she pressed the button and raised the reclined seat.

“I might be late at this rate.”

Trying to appear nonchalant, Yulli’s voice trembled, making it difficult for her to continue her words.

“I… I need to fix my makeup, so I’ll go first.”

Hurriedly getting out of the car, Yulli tightly held her bag and ran towards the entrance of the building. There was no time to look back. She just focused ahead and ran quickly.

As Yulli entered the building and the automatic door closed, a bitter smile appeared on Jeho’s lips, who had been watching until then.

“Phew.”

Letting out a short sigh, he wiped his face with one hand and leaned his head against the backrest with little strength.

I hoped it wouldn’t be the case…

As Jeho tilted his head, dark shadows settled on his face, and he slowly blinked his eyelids.

Did everyone find out after all?
