Weekly Chapter 1/3

“He’s handsome, but he even has dimples.”

“Eunju, wake up.”

She shook her head. Inho wondered why she was so fascinated.

“Here’s the American coffee.”

“I’ll take it to him.”

Inho set the iced Americano down in front of Gwangmyeong. On the table was the lighter that Yoongyo usually used.

He flinched at the look on Gwangmyeong’s face like a person caught stealing. He did not have the courage to look him straight in the eye. This man fired him, then reinstated him. Inho felt so afraid that he bowed his head. Maybe it was due to this man’s superior, who had visited the coffee shop.

Cappuccino was Jumi’s favorite coffee. She handed the customer the cappuccino. Even though he was seated in the farthest corner of the coffee shop, all the customers’ attention was drawn to him. But his attention was only focused on Jumi. He kept her every movement within his line of sight.

Inho stopped Jumi, who was about to grab a heavy plate, instead he pulled out four plates. Jumi set a slice of cake onto a plate.

Even when she smiled, there was a shadow on her face. He knew that she also owned this building. He didn’t understand why she always looked distressed. But her smile had changed a little. He felt that the shadow on her face had disappeared. Surely an external factor had changed her demeanor.

The moment Inho locked eyes with Yoongyo, his shoulders drooped as if he’d been hit by a bolt of lightning. He awkwardly bowed his head, and his intense gaze only deepened the suspicion that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Please clean up after yourself.”

“Don’t worry.”

Then Jumi approached Yoongyo, who was drinking coffee.

“Excuse me, don’t disturb my business, leave.”

“Gwangmyeong, did you hear that? Now drinking coffee is disturbing a business.”

“Jumi. Let’s have coffee together.”

“I don’t have time now.”

“A mother’s stability is a baby’s stability.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“The less you know, the better for the baby.”

Yoongyo, who said something scary, lifted the cup.

She looked at Gwangmyeong why she didn’t understand what was going on, but there was no way he would confess it, when Yoongyo didn’t.

“You guys can waste your time here?”

“It’s part of our job, so please cooperate.”

She took a seat, realizing they had no plans to stand up.

Jumi was about to ask about the President’s birthday party, but decided to pretend she didn’t know she was supposed to attend. She would surely meet Song Hayoung there. Jung Yoongyo brought her to his house to keep her safe from her. There was no reason to have a meeting with her.

Finally, the expected time came.

They left the coffee shop. There was a sedan outside. But when she climbed into the back seat as usual, he closed the door. She had never seen this driver who had a bald head either. There was even a subordinate in the passenger seat.

“Take a break. The sea is good for a pregnant woman.”

“Aren’t you going home?”

“I must finish my business before I leave.”

Why did he suddenly want her to see the sea?

A shiver ran down her spine. She opened the car door.

“I guess something’s wrong.”

“Why then do you want to follow me?”
