“What the hell are they doing?”

Gyeonhui was still wandering in the hallway in frustration and looked at Sun’s office door.

At that moment, the office door suddenly opened, and Eunwoo came out of the office. Gyeonhui quickly hid himself in the corner.

“What are you doing here?” At that moment, Ojae approached and asked him.

“Shh.” When Gyeonhui put a finger on his lips instead of answering, Ojae looked at where Gyeonhui was looking.

Ojae saw Eunwoo standing and leaning against the wall.

“Huh? Is he still here? Ugh.”

Gyeonhui hurriedly blocked Ojae’s mouth and hid behind the vending machine.

“Why are you doing this?” Once Gyeonhui released Ojae’s mouth, Ojae desperately asked.

“Shut your mouth, please!” Gyeonhui said while he was clenching his teeth. Gyeonhui was still taking a look at Sun’s office.

“I, I can’t breathe…”

Ojae’s face reddened, but Gyeonhui didn’t let him go.

Soon, Sun came out of the office. When Gyeonhui saw that Eunwoo and Sun got on the elevator, he finally released Ojae.

“Kuk, kuk!” Ojae coughed hurriedly. “Why were you hiding?”

“Do you think I wanted to do this?”

“What’s going on, again?”

“That’s… Hah… never mind.”

When Gyeonhui agonized for a moment, he just decided to shut his mouth.

He didn’t want to tell anyone about this even to Ojae.

It was such a shameful memory for Gyeonhui that he would remember it another ten years blaming himself every second.

“By the way, where have you been all day long?” Gyeonhui furrowed his eyebrows and asked Ojae.

“I… I had to buy something…”

“Then why is your hand empty?”

“That’s because I didn’t buy mine.”

Looking at Ojae, who blurred the end of his word, Gyeonhui figured out and no longer asked him.

“What are you doing here? Don’t you have something to do?” Gyeonhui asked.

“Me? Oh, I’m….”

Ojae blurred the end of his words again and scratched the back of his head.

“Wait a minute, are you waiting for Ms. Lee?”

“What? Hmm… yes.”

When Ojae involuntarily answered, he avoided Gyeonhui’s eyes in embarrassment.

Gyeonhui looked at him in sympathy but soon exhaled a long sigh.

“What happened to you and me… why are we doing this… here…”

Gyoenhui shook his head and spoke once he confirmed the time.

“I’m leaving the office now.”

“Where are you going?”

“The hospital.”

“Hospital? Are you sick again?” Ojae was surprised and asked him.

“No, to see the chairman. I would like to see him as much as I can as long as he’s alive. What he told me last time bothers me. I need to see him.”

Looking at Gyonhui’s firm expression, Ojae nodded slowly.

“That’s a great idea. Call me if you need anything.”

Gyeonhui nodded and got in the designated elevator.

When the door closed, the elevator, with a hushed noise, started to descend.

At the time, he felt a sudden pain in his wrist.

“Ow…”

He carefully tried to stretch his wrist, but the pain didn’t seem like it was going to subside. It was apparent that the pain wasn’t his own.

“She lives with all kinds of pain…” His expression sunk while he was furrowing his eyebrows and mumbling to himself.

Near Nonhyeon-station. One of Kidz Fan’s customers’ stores.

Eunyoung and Ari came out of the building after they greeted the owner of the store, Mr. Joe, who was one of their customers.

“Hah… Have we checked out all our customers in Seoul?”

Hearing Eunyoung’s questions, Ari confirmed the list.

“Yes. We’re all done!” Ari answered while she was stretching her arms to the sky.

“Okay, let’s go back to the office and check the numbers of orders and current inventories.”

“Oh… okay.” Ari seemed exhausted and exhaled a long sigh.

“You can go home if you’re tired.”

“Really? Can I?”

“Sure, I’m the boss.”

“Yeah!!” Ari cried in excitement. However, Ari started speaking again as she looked at Eunyoung. Do you have any appointments tonight? If you don’t, there is an excellent restaurant near here. Would you like to go there with me?”

“I need to go back to the office.”

“What?”

“Somebody should check the current inventories.”

“Then how can I go home when you don’t,” Ari asked her resentfully.

“I’m fine. You can go home.”

“Hah…”

When Ari exhaled a long sigh, she involuntarily turned her body toward the subway station.

“Why are you going that way?”

“How do I go home alone when you’re going back to the office? Just tell me to go back to the office together.” Ari started walking before her while pouting her lips.

Watching Ari looking all cute, Eunyoung smirked and started walking after her.

However, Ari suddenly stopped walking when she recalled something important that came to mind.

“They are going to be fine, right?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, Sun. She’ll be with Dr. Park and even Mr. Woo.”

After Eunyoung sighed a slight sigh, she started speaking.

“They have to fight, so they can find the answer.”

Hearing Eunyoung, Ari looked at her in wonder.

“Why?”

“I think you’ve changed somehow.”

“Me?”

“In the past, you said that it’s better to avoid trouble. I know that was why you wanted to move the office somewhere.” Eunyoung smiled bitterly.

“Did I do that?”

‘Bzzzzz.’

At the moment, Eunyoung’s cell phone rang.

She was surprised and looked at the phone number for a while, but she answered the phone.

“Hello?”

“Is this Eunyoung Lee’s phone?”

“Yes, this is. How can I help you?”

“There is a flower delivery for you, but there is no one in the office.”

“Flowers?”

Eunyoung was confused and asked again in wonder.

“Flowers? Isn’t it something Mr. Kwon sent to you?”

Ari asked her and tried to put her ear on Eunyoung’s phone to listen to the call.

Eunyoung tried to push Ari away from the phone, but Ari kept putting her ear to the phone.

“Where would you like me to leave them? Inside the office?”

“Yes, please. That sounds good.”

After Eunyoung hung up the phone, she tilted her head in wonder.

“Hmm… who sent the flowers?”

“Hey boss, let’s go back to the office quickly.”

Full of curiosity, Ari rushed Eunyoung.

Eunyoung also had to rush because of Ari.

In the parking lot of the Consencio building.

Sun and Eunwoo walked toward where Eunwoo’s car had been parked.

“I’ll take you somewhere special tonight.”

Sun said, exultantly, to Eunwoo.

“Can I trust you?” Eunwoo said.

“Sure.”

When she confidently answered, she pulled the car door to open it.

“Ow…”

However, because of the stinging pain in her wrist, she missed the door handle.
