At Yuri’s words, Yul Li silently checked the time on the wall clock. She had been asleep for less than 30 minutes. For a dream she had in such a short time, it was quite dramatic.
There had been unintentional skin contact yesterday, and for several days in a row, she had been losing sleep, leaving her body weakened. Perhaps that’s why she had such a strange dream.
Yes, it’s no big deal.
Her heart was still racing, but she calmed herself with deep breaths. After a while, Yul Li slowly got up from her bed.
“Where is father now?”
“He’s in the study.”
Last night, Congressman Chae couldn’t return home due to parliamentary work and stayed up all night in the Parliament Building. As a result, she couldn’t ask the question she wanted to.
Yul Li, who had left her bedroom, headed straight for the study. When she knocked and entered, she saw Congressman Chae on the phone with his assistant. Yul Li waited for the call to end and as soon as it did, she immediately threw her question.
“Who designed the newlywed house, and why didn’t you tell me?”
“Didn’t I tell you?”
Congressman Chae looked puzzled.
“But why? Is it a problem?”
“Kwon Je Ho was a former fiancé. How can I be okay with it?”
“What’s there to be okay with? It wasn’t as if we were getting married out of love back then or now…”
With a look that indicated it was not a big deal, Congressman Chae shifted his gaze back to the document he was reviewing.
Perhaps his words were right. It was only a formal marriage with absolutely no personal feelings. The conditions and circumstances had changed, so naturally, the marriage partner had changed as well. Perhaps Yul Li herself would have calmly accepted it without any objections. But the partner was Kwon Je Ho. He had just appeared in her dream out of nowhere and disturbed her.
“I don’t like it.”
Yul Li clenched her fists and put strength into her voice.
“It’s the house I’m going to live in. If I have to live in a house that he designed, it’s obvious that I’ll be uncomfortable. If you allow it, I want to personally meet Chairman Kwon and decline.”
“If you don’t like it, I can’t do anything about it.”
Congressman Chae replied curtly, not taking his eyes off the document. He didn’t seem to have much interest in this marriage. He had been proposed to have a political marriage with Min Woo and when he said he wanted to, the only thing Congressman Chae asked was ‘Why him specifically?’.
“…..But you know.”
As Yul Li was about to leave the study, Congressman Chae lifted his gaze from the document and stopped her.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t upset Chairman Kwon over unnecessary matters.”
Yul Li stopped and turned around.
“Think carefully about who can truly be on your side in your new family.”
It was truly a sagelike statement from a seasoned politician. Instead of retorting, Yul Li silently listened to Congressman Chae’s words.
“Don’t stir things up for no reason, and if you don’t want to, have Min Woo’s side refuse. I don’t like seeing you get involved.”
After a brief silence, Yul Li slowly nodded.
“I’ll do that.”
There was no need to oppose since Congressman Chae’s words were right. Yul Li, who had left the study, stood in place and looked down at her phone.
After a moment of hesitation, Yul Li decided to call Min Woo. It would be more comfortable to refuse without giving it much thought. But no matter how many times she called, for some reason, Min Woo didn’t answer.
The time was nearing 9 o’clock, but she didn’t want to postpone the call until tomorrow. Perhaps the strange dream she had was also because of the burden that she had to live in a house designed by Je Ho.
Since she couldn’t leave work before 10 o’clock anyway, with the expectation of being able to meet him if she went to the company, Yul Li borrowed her younger sister Yuri’s car and drove blindly to the KG Group headquarters. As soon as she stepped into the company building, the security guard who recognized Yul Li greeted her cheerfully.
“Director Kwon, you’re here to see him. Please wait a moment.”
The security guard informed of Yul Li’s visit via internal phone and kindly opened the gate.
“The director seems to have stepped away for a moment. Please go up first. I’ll try to contact him again.”
Just as the security guard had said, the office door was locked. She was about to sit on the sofa and wait, when her mobile phone, which she had put in her bag, rang.
[Yul Li? Where are you now? Are you in the lobby?]
As soon as she pressed the call button, Min Woo’s voice flowed out. He must have been contacted by the security guard.
“No, I came up. I’m in front of the office now.”
[What? You’re in front of the office?]
Why so?
Min Woo’s voice rose an octave, sounding quite flustered. This was the first time she had seen such a reaction. Whenever she came to the company, he had been happy as if he had everything in the world.
But that was not all.
Even though Min Woo’s voice was coming from her mobile phone, it seemed like she could hear it from beyond the office. Holding her phone in her hand, Yul Li turned her head towards the firmly closed office door.
“Yep, I’m in front of the office. Are you inside right now?”
[Huh? No, no… I’m in the meeting room downstairs right now.]
At her words about being in front of the office, Min Woo’s voice became small as if whispering.
[Wait a moment. I’ll finish up here and come right up.]
The phone abruptly ended. Yul Li put her mobile phone in her bag and stepped out into the corridor to greet him. He said he would come right up, but Min Woo showed up panting only after 20 minutes.
“Whew, whew, why did you come without contacting me?”
Seeming like he had rushed, Min Woo was panting in front of her.
“I have something I really want to say… But you didn’t answer even though I kept calling?”
“Oh, really? I turned it off because I was in a meeting.”
“I see. I thought I could see you if I came to the company.”
“Oh, I see. Welcome. Let’s go in.”
Having caught his breath, Min Woo finally smiled brightly and embraced Yul Li’s shoulder with one hand.
Suddenly, a fresh lemon scent brushed her nose. It was not a strong scent like perfume, but a faint scent that could be smelled after taking a shower.
Naturally, Yul Li’s gaze landed on Min Woo’s hair. He seemed to have hurriedly dried his hair, and the tips were slightly damp.
He said he was coming from a meeting, but he took a shower?
As Yul Li gently frowned, the sound of high heels echoed from the other end of the corridor. When she turned her head towards the sound, she saw a longhaired woman approaching.
The woman was dressed in ordinary office attire, but at first glance, she had a flashy appearance. Especially, her thick lips painted with bright red lipstick drew attention.
When the woman found Min Woo, she smiled kindly.
“Director, aren’t you leaving work even though the meeting is over?”
“Oh, Manager Shin. I should be leaving soon too.”
“Yes, don’t push yourself too hard and just leave.”
As soon as Manager Shin finished speaking, she glanced at Yul Li. Was it just her feeling? The way Manager Shin looked at her felt somehow meaningful.
“Then I’ll go first.”
With a deep bow, Manager Shin passed by Yul Li in a rush. For a moment, Yul Li frowned gently at the familiar scent that brushed her nose.
This scent…?
The same scent she had just smelled from Min Woo.
It was the scent of lemon.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
