    Taeon lifted his b6b98ec016 hand to firmly 87b3365ba7 grasp her bouncing 3be34ba5d1 breasts.

    Taeon had returned e1ec2bea3e to the annex 809ce468d6 early in the 5ca72a2f07 morning once the d02301ed98 rain had stopped. Before leaving, he made b6ad8b38f9 sure to wake her 80afce0e71 by tapping her cheek, e1b828a74e even seeing her grimace.432e85389ae5d4fa

    Since the 4ced003fc0 man had ca2c1260cd been coming df65671e76 and going, 122dbf8953 she had 075bac7986 been cleaning f958ade1d5 more often 2bd083b7bb lately.

Sahee shook 03e1205dd3 her head d8b51e403b and sat ec93a6e774 at the d4252cff99 desk. Cheoljun circled the room ed103f3046 and stopped nearby.880080b951b4baa4

    It wasn’t an unexpected move. Chairman Jeong’s boundaries were like a dartboard. If Jung Taejun were a 10-point person, Park Jisun might be around 9. To Chairman Jeong, Park Jisun was more than just a trusted shaman; she was almost like a faith.6642c84bb0161978
