“The Chairman especially requested it.”
As Je Ho’s eyes curved into a smirk, Yul Li felt a sudden pang in her chest and quickly drew in a breath.
What’s with that smile… Yul Li was more annoyed with herself for not being able to adequately defend against his unexpected attack. As Yul Li maintained her cold demeanor, Je Ho continued to speak.
“If you’re feeling pressured, don’t worry. I want to do it as well.”
“Why is that?”
Yul Li frowned, unable to immediately comprehend his words.
“…Hmm.”
Instead of immediately responding, Je Ho softly pulled up the corners of his mouth. Then, he lowered his body to match his eye level with Yul Li.
“Are you really asking because you don’t know?”
“Yes, I don’t understand.”
“Oh, that’s disappointing. I thought I was brave enough to speak out… Did you forget everything?”
“What do you mean…?”
Yul Li gave Je Ho a glance, as if dumbfounded. She didn’t like the way he was acting, throwing out cryptic words and waiting for a reaction. But suddenly, she remembered something he had said before.
You can’t leave a woman who always catches your eye and makes you worry alone at night.
Could that be the reason?
That was just a cruel joke made in the heat of the moment.
As if seeing right through her, the corner of Je Ho’s mouth slowly rose.
“That’s right. What you’re thinking now, that’s it.”
“…That’s it?”
“Yes, because you always catch my eye and make me worry.”
Je Ho slowly spat out his words as if chewing on them and took a step closer. Yul Li instinctively backed away.
“So naturally…”
He paused for a moment and took a short breath, then looked intently into Yul Li’s eyes before leisurely continuing.
“I want it.”
Suddenly, the nature of his question seemed to subtly shift. It seemed that what he wanted was not just to design the house. His intense gaze at Yul Li was filled with ambiguous emotions and sparkled sharply.
“Have you ever wanted something very desperately? To the point of losing sleep?”
How could you say that out loud!
Surprised, Yul Li quickly looked around. Fortunately, it seemed that everyone else had gone home, leaving only Yul Li and Je Ho in the office.
No one is around, is he teasing me on purpose?
Yul Li took a deep breath and clutched the strap of the bag on her shoulder.
“Let’s forget about the newlywed house design. I’ll talk to the Chairman separately.”
Finishing her sentence quickly, she turned around and left the office. It might have been rude, but she didn’t care. If she stayed any longer, she might have been caught up in his pace.
She would have to face him again tomorrow, but for now, she wanted to get away from him. As if running away, Yul Li ran towards the elevator. Thankfully, the doors opened just as she reached them.
Only when the elevator started going down did Yul Li take a sigh of relief and lean against the wall. Her pale face reflected in the mirror on the opposite side.
She looked as if she was scared from being chased by someone. To be honest, she was scared. But she was more afraid of her wavering self than Je Ho. She didn’t know how she would react.
She didn’t understand exactly what he meant by wanting her, but her mind went black, her heartbeat became uncontrollably fast, and her face was about to turn red.
“You really annoy me.”
Yul Li scolded her foolish self and bit her lower lip. She was angry with herself for always being shaky in front of Je Ho.
Why can’t she stand up to him bravely? Because he was her first love?
Yul Li let out a bitter laugh and shook her head. Then, she looked at herself in the mirror again. The woman in the mirror looked extremely nervous, afraid that the hidden truth might be revealed.
Whether it was 10 years ago or now…
It was an uncomfortable truth that she was still attracted to the man called Kwon Je Ho.
((()))((()))((()))
“Sigh.”
Leaning weakly on the driver’s seat, Yul Li exhaled a long sigh. She had tried to start the car several times, but it wouldn’t start. For some reason, nothing was going right today. She didn’t know why her car, which had been fine when she came to work, was acting up all of a sudden.
She tried one last time, but it was the same as before. Unable to do anything else, Yul Li opened the door and got out of the car. She attempted to slip away before Je Ho got out, but unfortunately, it seemed she was a step too late. As the elevator opened, Je Ho emerged into the underground parking lot.
“What’s the matter?”
He approached her with a quick stride. She could have shrugged it off as nothing, but drained from a day full of tension, she admitted the situation.
“The car won’t start.”
“May I take a look?”
Instead of responding, Yul Li stepped back to allow him access to the car. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Je Ho examined the dashboard briefly and then pressed the service button installed in the car. A beep sounded, connecting him with the service center, and a gentle voice came from the speakers.
