The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
“It’s something I’d like to talk about… just the two of us….”
Jae Ho murmured to himself, tilting his head slightly. She probably wanted to discuss the newlywed house design, but he couldn’t help feeling quietly curious about what exactly she intended to say.
The past few days had been quite tough for him. Upon hearing that Department Head Yoon, who had overseen the overseas construction project, was in Gyeongnam, he impulsively followed Manager Kim on a business trip to the region. Department Head Yoon had managed most of the critical information, but when problems arose in the overseas construction project, he abruptly submitted his resignation and disappeared without a trace.
Department Head Yoon greeted Jae Ho with an embarrassed expression and, despite earnest persuasion, refused to utter a word. Returning empty-handed, Jae Ho felt as though his body and mind were weighed down by a massive boulder. Yet the moment he encountered Yuli in the office, that suffocating heaviness pressing down on him vanished completely.
Could that be why?
“If you’d like…”
Though utterly exhausted, Jae Ho readily accepted Yuli’s suggestion.
“There’s a quiet café right in front of the company. Let’s go there.”
“No, better not. Your car isn’t fixed yet, right? I’ll give you a ride. We can talk in the car on the way.”
“Alright.”
Yuli agreed to Jae Ho’s suggestion without objection. She absentmindedly stepped toward the elevator but suddenly froze mid-step. She feared that if she rode the elevator with him, the strangely vivid dream she’d had might come rushing back. Yet as she tried to avoid Jae Ho approaching from behind, she ended up awkwardly stepping into the elevator anyway.
Ah, don’t be nervous.
Yuli took a deep breath and stared intently only at the light indicating the lower floors. But the scene from her dream—of heated, passionate kissing—kept resurfacing in her mind, making her heart swell as though it might burst.
“You don’t look well.”
“Huh?”
