[Please ring my bell when you get home.]
In Ha frowned. A text without a sender's name entered her phone. In Ha typed back. Usually, she never responded to all the incoming messages without a name, but the words made In Ha curious.
Is this what she thought?
[Who is this?]
[Your neighbor. When does your schedule end?]
She was right.
How did he get her phone number?
[How did you get my number? I'm on my way home.]
[When you get drunk. That's great. I'm cooking. Stop by when you arrive.]
In Ha frowned even more.
Cook?
She quickly found herself pass the door of her apartment and standing in front of Arthur's door when she went home.
She rang the bell hesitantly.
After waiting for almost a minute, Arthur appeared to open the door. His appearance made In Ha widen her eyes. It wasn't a 3-pieces suit that stuck to his athletic body, but a plain white t-shirt with a moss green apron hanging from his ne
"Boss ... " Baek Min Sung almost crying his eyes out. " The meeting with Han's group can't be postponed any longer, how could I replace you? Where are you going?" Arthur grabbed his coat and closed his laptop. "I have more important appointment than with the Han group." Secretary Baek was really weeping. The project with the Han group was worth billions of dollars, whose more important and valuable than that? He has no other appointments on his schedule. Who will he meet? "Boss, how about I make arrangements later for your meeting?" "No need. Just do it according to schedule, if they turn down this project. Let it go." Arthur patted his shoulder. "I know you as competent as Ian and you can do it. You're always become my acting CEO when I'm not around." To him, Ian and Secretary Baek were the best strong right-hand men despite having opposite personalities. Secretary Baek felt the weight on his shoulders increase tenfold. "Boss, I don't
"You should spare a single here." Adam reminded them over and over again, which Alex responded with a click on his tongue."Then look for a partner for yourself!"They finally argued and ended up betting on a drink.In Ha just watched them silently. Her forehead creased slightly. She did come with Arthur, as a friend. But they seemed to think she and him were a couple.Anna was not bothered by Adam and Alex's banter and focused on her notepad. Sometimes, her eyes glanced at the other woman.In Ha turned to Arthur. His drink had not run out since earlier, it seemed like he was drinking it bit by bit."Is it delicious?" In Ha didn't have time to order anything because everything was already on the table when they arrived."You want taste it?" Arthur offered. To his surprise, In Ha nodded. Arthur held out his glass and she took a sip from where his lips touch before. His heartbeat stopped then flung to his throat."It's swee
Her heart skipped a beat.'No way...'In Ha stopped where he was.She looked at Arthur as if he were a foreign object.Arthur returned her gaze with a million indescribable emotions. If he had been right all along, then he had been near In Ha more than he could have ever imagined. Nonetheless, on the other hand, imagining himself, slashing at a fictional figure who turned out to be In Ha made his stomach churn.There, he did the same thing over and over again with thoughts not much different from his in this world.He didn't get rid of her just for treason. He didn't want the perfect family's image he dreamed of being ruined by Lilian's hands... or In Ha's.Somehow, in those moments, in his subconscious, he felt Lilian was too similar to In Ha.Lilian and In Ha always feel hopeless and want to be loved. They never pay attention to who really loves them. Despite it all, he still killed her. He knew he was a twisted human being a
Hyun Jae took back his phone."But isn't this news a little bit better than before? She's not a flirt. That Jihoo bastard didn't clarify the truth either."They knew the one behind the fake news was In Ha's ex-boyfriend's secretary. The bitch that he saw in Ji Hoo's apartment."We'll just have to wait. As long as the upper people don't comment on it, it means everything's fine." Lee Han leaned back again.Regarding In Ha, he always got special orders that never harm his actress in the slightest, even though it weird, he couldn't say anything.It seemed like there was a big person backing her up without him being able to see who it was....Ji Hoo, on the other hand, slamed down his phone. He was dating In Ha in short time and during that time, he never saw her expression like on the news.Surprise, longing, and joy mixed into one. And what annoyed him the most, it was stating the man who captured with her were her lover! Which
"Here.""Thanks."Compared to discomfort, the nervousness predominates her. She tried to act natural.Who wouldn't be hysterical when you stand this close to a man who just woke up and shouted his handsomeness?Oh....my heart...Without knowing what In Ha was feeling, Arthur accepted the glass awkwardly.They stood in silence for a while before In Ha spoke. "Do you need to work today?"The glass of water stopped in front of his lips. He really wanted to take on In Ha's question as a wish for him so he could linger longer. But he knew In Ha didn't have those kind of thoughts of him.His fantasy would only survive in his own mind.When they spent the night talking, Arthur was increasingly convinced that the woman in front of him didn't think of him as a man in the slightest, but only as acquaintances and 'brother'.With a lack of spirit he mumbled a 'yes'."Oh, what a shame." In Ha shifted her body slightly a
Baek Min Sung cleared his throat and changed his posture to a more formal one. "Of course, Miss. Who doesn't know you? You are talented." He complimented her."Talented for slapping?" She asked playfully."What?" Baek Min Sung quickly shook his head. "No-o, of course not!""Or talented for seducing?""T-that-"Her laughter rang out as she watched Secretary Baek stutter.He looked at his boss as if asking for help. Be an honest person, she was indeed skilled at seducing role, but how could he mention that in front of people in person? Baek Min Sung didn't have the courage to insult someone who clearly looked special to his boss."Spare him." Arthur sat behind the desk."Okay." In Ha smirked."Anything else?" he asked his stiff secretary."No, I'll inform you for the next appoinment." Baek Min Sung shook his head and quickly moved his feet away, afraid if 'The Miss' beside him asking more. Being honest o
After a lengthy silence, Arthur rolled his hanging palm and brought it to his mouth. A soft laugh escaped his lips, leaving a bitter taste in his throat."How was that?" He said slowly. "You always tease me. Even when you're Lilian. So stop staring at me, I might have other thought."In Ha's silence scared Arthur. He wanted to push further, but wasn't brave enough. Anything about this woman made him wary and anxious.In Ha who loved flirting with Arthur couldn't say anything. Her brain stopped working for a while.Joke?Is that a joke? But his demeanor and expression was far from joking! He looked so damn serious!"You really are a talented actor." That was all In Ha's conclusion. "You really surprised me! I almost grab your hand." She dispelled the awkward atmosphere and smacked his arm."Listen. Don't be like that to other people.""I'm not doing this just for anyone. It's only with you or Arthur." She said matter of fact.
Arthur stared intently at their intertwined hands in the elevator's reflection that brought them down, and stole a glance out of the corner of his eye at the woman beside him. Her lips that were slightly swollen from their first contact had been polished with lipstick again and made him gulp.What had just happened was like a dream. No. It was too real to be called a dream!He kissed In Ha. He kissed her crazily! And this woman declared them as a lovers. He was aware that they were only in the early stages, but that didn't make his inner beasts sit still obediently, like a monster that had been thirsty for years and had just been given a drop of honey.Arthur tried to calm his turbulent heart back. Being alone in a closed place didn't make it any better. After tasting it once, he wanted to taste it again. That smiling lips kept teasing him from earlier. Arthur looked for her mask and put it on. Luckily, there was no one when they came out from t
