There was simply no room for interference. No matter how hard he tried to memorize, talking with so many people, there would inevitably be a mistake in words or actions. Then, taking advantage of that gap to shout, ‘Everyone, it’s the truth!’ and prove that Kwon Seungju had lost his memory and become a child would be the plan.

…But the truth was that there was no gap at all.

The same was true when welcoming Kwon Jihwan, the CEO of premium interior company D&H, and his wife.

“Did you take sick leave for a while due to a traffic accident? Trying to go to see President Moon, he only said he was recovering in the provinces. What happened?”

Kwon Jihwan asked while maintaining a handshake with Kwon Seungju.
“I took a break pretending it was because I fell. The accident itself wasn’t a big deal, but I unnecessarily caused worry, and I feel sorry.”

The two were classmates in the Business Administration department at Korea University. It was a natural conversation between friends that anyone could overhear.

“Yeah, is your grandfather still in good health?”

“Of course. He said he’ll go back after seeing his great-grandchildren get married.”

“I’m sorry for the late greeting. Tell him I’ll visit to bow and give New Year’s greetings next year.”

Kwon Ji-hwan’s grandfather, Chairman Kwon Jung-hyun of Daehan Construction, was originally friends with Seung-ju’s grandfather, Chairman Kang Sun-ho of Daewon Group, when Sun-ho was alive. Kwon Jung-hyun, who was Kwon Ji-hwan’s grandson, was treated with special care by Chairman Kang, who considered Seung-ju a distant relative, and he even provided significant help for Daehan Construction’s recovery.

The problem was how Seung-ju, who lost his memory, knew all about it.

“How’s Mr. Jeseu? Are the twins all healthy?”

Seung-ju also greeted Ji-hwan’s wife. Among the many women in the banquet hall, Ji-hwan’s wife, who had a noticeably voluminous figure, smiled.

“Thanks to you, they’re growing well. President Kwon seems to have become even more handsome.”

Kwon Ji-hwan quickly gave Seung-ju a stern look and blocked the way to his wife.

“Greetings are enough. Seung-ju, you can leave now. The farther, the better.”

Watching that scene, Seung-hyun’s mind was completely upside down.

Even if he’s a genius, there’s no way he memorized all of that. Unless he received a list of attendees in advance or something.

This party was planned by himself. Just in case, he had thoroughly controlled to prevent leaks of the attendee list. Even if he somehow got the list in advance, he wouldn’t have known about such personal matters.

So, that means…

“Has your uncle been well? Are the twins in good health?”

Seung-ju greeted Ji-hwan’s wife.
“Don’t just stand there blankly; come here. Now that you’ve become the team leader at our company, you should greet the guests. Let me introduce you.”

Kwon Seung-joo gestured casually towards her stunned younger brother. It was a graceful yet arrogant gesture, as if dealing with a subordinate. Greetings weren’t the issue; Seung-hyun approached, lowered his voice, and quickly asked, “You’ve returned?”

For a moment, a subtle smile played on his perfect lips.

He slightly bent over and whispered something into his brother’s ear.

…

Having heard Seung-joo’s whispers, Seung-hyun’s face gradually lost color.

After witnessing Seung-hyun’s face turning pale upon hearing the secret from Seung-joo, Eun-seo discreetly left the banquet hall.

Her chest swelled with relief and pride.

“Well, who is our Seung-joo? Despite being only 9th in the nationwide rankings!”

It seemed like he had everything planned in advance. Probably obtained the attendee list and thoroughly studied it.

Regardless, she was no longer worried. Seung-hyun must have had a big shock this time, so he wouldn’t think of bothering Seung-joo for a while. Since Seung-joo was the one who broke their agreement, there was no need to force a relationship anymore.

Even if Seung-hyun reported to his father, Seung-joo had already returned and was handling her duties excellently. It wouldn’t be easy to prove memory loss. Today, didn’t she handle herself perfectly in front of so many people?

As for the misunderstanding with Seung-hyun… sincere apologies would resolve it. Eun-seo decided to believe that.

Our Seung-joo is broad-minded and affectionate.

Wearing high heels that were not familiar to her feet, she walked lightly as if dancing. After leaving the banquet hall, passing through a quiet corridor, Eun-seo was suddenly grabbed by someone. Surprised, she turned around, and Seung-joo was holding her arm.

“Seung-joo!”

As she looked at Seung-joo’s face up close, tears poured out.

“What the heck, seriously, give me a heads up… You surprised me!”

Filled with joy, she cried and laughed, punching his shoulder.

“What happened? Did you get the attendee list in advance? No matter how, how on earth did you memorize…!”

The words she poured out in a hurry suddenly stopped in the middle.

A man who had been silently watching her, suddenly rushed in and pressed his lips against hers.

It was like a kiss that devoured her.
