Irene kept staring at Noah. When she felt Noah's hand grip her wrist, her heart skipped a beat."I need to go to the bathroom," Noah said as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.Noah stood behind the bathroom door, his heart still pounding."I must be crazy," Noah said.***Noah, who had just finished taking a shower, began to walk outside while wiping his wet hair with a towel."Yes, Mom. There's no need to be concerned. I'll keep you updated later." Irene entered the room after finishing the phone call."Is that my mother?"Irene nodded, "Yeah, I told her you were sick, so you didn't come to work today." "You shouldn't have to call her because I'm fine."Irene stepped towards Noah while putting her cell phone in her trouser pocket."Your body temperature is still quite high," Irene said after trying to place her hand on Noah's forehead. "Hurry up and get changed, and we'll go to the hospital. I'll be waiting for you outside."Irene stepped outside and waited for Noah to get
A woman wearing a suit and a black span skirt pressed the number 9 button in the elevator, which now took her to the floor where her room was.The elevator doors reopened, and the woman began to walk out. Her long steps were accompanied by the sound of knocking from her 5-centimeter high heel.Employees who had been sitting in their chairs began to rise from their seats one by one to greet the woman.Park Irene is a woman in the highest position and the owner of a startup company that was previously managed by her father before he decided to manage it elsewhere.Who doesn't know Irene? The female employees, especially the male employees, idolize the beautiful and friendly woman who works in her company.However, behind the perfection that makes many people look at her with admiration, not a few of them talk about Irene's life behind her back.In addition to her beauty and charm, Irene is known as a person who is very active in her work, as evidenced by her efforts to maintain and deve
Even though Irene had heard the mockery directed at her, she was unconcerned and dismissed it as a breeze. Irene, who is happy living a life that may appear ambitious in the eyes of others, is fine even if others believe she is not.Getting married up to 30 years at age is not a sad thing for Irene, even though she wishes to marry soon. But how can she want to marry when she hasn't found the right man?Although many people judge Irene as a picky person and very perfectionist, it's no wonder why she hasn't found her soulmate until now.When it was time for lunch, Irene walked out of her room to the canteen with a sluggish face.Irene was holding the tray and waiting in line for food when Aaron arrived and then was in line behind her."What's the deal with your sluggish face?" Aaron inquired of Irene."Good afternoon, Miss Park," said one of the catering waiters in charge of delivering various types of side dishes to the office employees' trays."Good afternoon," Irene said with a smile
"Did you sign it?" Aaron, who happened to walk by and noticed Irene at Kang Yeri's desk, inquired."It took me a long time to think about it, and I've finally made up my mind," Irene said, turning to stare at Aaron.Irene and Aaron rose to their feet to return to their respective rooms."How about your mother's words? Have you also made a decision?"When Irene heard Aaron's words, she abruptly stopped walking and beat Aaron with an irritated face. Without realizing it, a female employee passing by could only smile a little and bow her head as she walked past her two superiors.When Irene noticed the female employee's presence, she couldn't help but awkwardly smile while nodding slowly and inviting the woman to continue on her way, "Hey! You almost shattered my image of friendliness and firmness in front of that girl!" Irene mumbled while hitting Aaron again, who winced but held back laughter."I'm just asking, why did you hit me?""It took me days just to sign the proposal; how can I
Irene sighed and began to lay her head on the table, as she had done earlier this afternoon in the office cafeteria."How can I say no to my mother's invitation to arrange a date for me with her best friend's child?" Irene expressed her displeasure."What?! You were engaged?!" Crystal stared at Irene, who was drooping limply, with wide eyes.Irene nodded slowly, "Crystal, what should I do?""Why don't you try to come first, even if your mother's choice is very handsome and wealthy?" Crystal stated."Oh, sh*t. I should not have asked you two for advice."Not long after, a waiter came back to their table bringing 2 servings of tteokbokki with 5 bottles of soju.Irene quickly straightened her seat and poured a bottle of soju into the glass before taking a sip.One gulp, two gulps, until Irene finishes two bottles of soju all by herself."What's the deal with her?" Aaron inquired, continuing to notice Irene, who was still pouring soju into the glass and sipping it nonstop."Did being in a
Jennie, who sits at the end of the bed, began to clench her hands tightly as she heard her father and mother's laughter, which sounded so happy when Irene was home. But, very different when Jennie was there.Irene and Jennie used to be very close like any brother and sister. But as Jennie grew older, everything changed.She felt that the more days the mother compared herself to her sister in any matter. Furthermore, Irene has grown into a successful career woman of what her parents desire, while Jennie is still chasing her dream as a musician, even though she has received no support from her father or mother.Of course, this makes the relationship between Irene and Jennie worse by the day.***Night fell. In her room, Irene was standing in front of a large mirror while looking at herself, wearing a black dress given by her father.Irene took a deep breath when she saw her pitiful face because she had to attend an event she despised.Irene walked out of the room. Down some stairs, and
Unlike Irene, the man sitting down just stared at Irene for a moment with a straight face and then looked straight ahead."Wow, you two already know each other?" Sharon smiled broadly."Ah, yeah. It just so happened that we were schoolmates.""How could you not tell me that Kim Noah is your schoolmate?" Hara asked her daughter.Several dishes are now available on the table. Irene appears restless, her eyes stealing glances at Noah, who looks dissatisfied with tonight's meeting.Irene and Noah are schoolmates, even though the two have never been classmates. However, Irene knows the figure of Noah, who is very famous among girls due to his good looks and intelligence.Noah also knows Irene because they both have been Olympic candidates due to their intelligence. Both Noah and Irene are well-known for their intelligence, and it is not uncommon for some students at school to believe that Noah and Irene are dating because they resemble the school's son and daughter."Because our children a
They exited the line and went to separate tables to eat their lunch."Are they all right?" Wow, I didn't realize manager Lee was so good at winning a sulking woman's heart.""You're right. This time I'm jealous; Manager Lee is very handsome and understanding; he's exactly the type of man I want."Irene was about to start eating her lunch and heard the whispers again."Don't they know if you and Yeri are close? But why do they keep talking about us like that?" Irene inquired of Aaron, who had enjoyed his lunch.Aaron looked at Irene after trying to swallow what he had chewed, "I don't know. You should ask them directly," he replied.Irene sighed as she placed the chopsticks on the tray. "Oh, sh*t. I have no appetite.""Is it because of what they said? If you're bothered, I'll reprimand them.""No," Irene said with a shake of her head. "Should we go back to drinking soju after work?""Are you going to drink another three bottles?" Aaron inquired.Irene shook her head for the second time
