When Noah noticed Irene was silent, he grabbed the paper from her grasp and said, "I warned you not to touch my things.""W-why are you still keeping it?" Irene, who couldn't believe it, asked quietly. She couldn't believe Noah kept the paper she gave when they were both in high school.Irene, who had long admired Noah, had deliberately practiced painting Noah's face on a piece of paper. Irene managed to paint it well even though it wasn't perfect.However, due to Noah's indifferent personality, Irene did not dare to give the paper directly. As a result, Irene placed the painting paper in Noah's locker without knowing him.When promoted to the next grade, Irene's gaze remained fixed on Noah, who stepped forward while carrying a piece of paper that he secretly placed in Noah's locker.But Irene noticed Noah and Suzy exchanging glances and smiling at each other at the time. A few days later, their school was rocked by the news that Noah and Suzy were dating.From the time Noah received

Aaron had a crush on Irene long before she had a crush on Noah. His feelings for Irene haven't changed up until now.Noah laughed, “What a sad love story. So you've been hiding feelings for a woman who has never loved you all this time? Wow, if only Irene knew how much you love her.""If only Irene's parents knew how much Irene was suffering from living with her husband." Aaron said, "You better go because I'll be the one to take Irene home." continued Aaron.After stepping while leading Irene, Noah grabbed Aaron's arm to stop him.“There's no need to bother. Her husband is already here, so let her go home with him."Aaron stepped back, ignoring Noah's words. But Noah stopped him once more. Noah immediately drew Irene's hand into his embrace. Aaron, not wanting to lose, took Irene back into his arms.Irene, who had been unconscious, finally opened her eyes after feeling swayed here and there as Noah and Aaron fought over her.Irene, who was half-drunk, was surprised to see Noah and Aa

Yeri, who had been looking downcast, began to raise her head. Irene crouched down to face Yeri and held her shoulders."What's going on? Why are you crying like this?” Irene asked again.Still sobbing, Yeri tried to wipe her tears, "People say I'm shameless for sending Manager Lee flowers."Irene sighed, "Gosh, how can they talk like that." with an irritated face, Irene was about to get up from her squatting position to scold the employees who had made Yeri cry.However, Yeri immediately pulled Irene's hand to sit back in front of her."Miss Park, I'm fine. Let them say what they want to say. After all, they were right. I shouldn't have given Manager Lee flowers."Irene was silent, looking at Yeri, who tried to stop her crying. Irene had no idea Yeri liked Aaron so much. Seeing Yeri cry like that reminded Irene of her old self, who used to cry when she discovered Noah didn't like her.Irene began gently stroking Yeri's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't pay attention to what other people

*Flashback On*Sharon and Jacob were sitting on the sofa, waiting for their only child to arrive. At that time, their face looked serious when they discovered that their family company continued to decline.Noah, who had just gotten out of his car, began walking into the house. Noah's mother had previously asked him to come home early because they had something important to discuss. Noah is already aware that his mother will undoubtedly discuss the fate of their company, which is now in Noah's hands.Noah approached his mother and father, who had been waiting all this time, with a leisurely step. Noah sat on the sofa in front of his mother and father, who was still looking at him with serious faces."Where is your promise?" Sharon inquired after Noah had managed to take a seat on the sofa.Noah sighed, “Everything takes time, Mom. I'm still working on it.”"Come on, Noah. Our company's fate is currently in your hands. You'll have no choice but to take my advice.""Do you have the hear

The woman nodded slowly, "That's the only information I can give you."The woman started walking away after lightly patting Irene's shoulder. Irene, who was initially surprised when she learned the hospital's address, rushed into the car.Her feet began to press the gas pedal to go to a hospital that she already knew the address.About 15 minutes later, Irene arrived at the hospital. She dashed inside, specifically to the reception desk, after getting out of the car."Excuse me, is there a patient named Choi Suzy?" she inquired."I will check it first. Wait for a second, please," the woman said as she began to open a book containing a list of patients.Soon after, the woman nodded and said, "Yes, there is. May I inquire as to your relationship with the patient?""I'm her friend. What room is she in?""She's on the third floor, in Jasmine's fourth room, Miss," the woman explained."Thank you."Irene took a quick step back to find the elevator that would take her to the third floor.Ire
