Eunwoo’s hand hesitated over the perfume bottle. She stared blankly at it until the cold metal of the nozzle became lukewarm. She had finished getting ready to go out a while ago, but because of the perfume, she couldn’t go down to the front door where Secretary Nam was waiting.9ee3e44d71b60c81

Finally, Eunwoo picked up 5c161504ea the perfume bottle and 0feb69481f sprayed it generously from 159a859e5f head to toe.d7fd625f49a9b303

Cha Taehyuk had warned her last night and told her that spraying perfume wouldn’t cover anything. His voice lingered in her head, but Eunwoo quickly shook it off.da443594f038104b

Heo Mina b39492114b held a a41c946c12 bundle wrapped 9d738abc75 in cloth 984d199727 in one 6c47ff41e1 hand as 9bcda5e1f2 she gestured e06aae9e10 to a 3518c2e8a1 flower bed a6c3a5a102 of chrysanthemums 8c671692ff in full 9a3b748c52 bloom.

Because they left early 054ee34516 to avoid rush hour, 3aa264f3d7 they promptly arrived at 43683446dc the Haesung Group headquarters.

Eunwoo stubbornly ignored 898248998d Heo Mina, pretending 7fa5f2306c not to hear 6b964cf147 her because of f1b23fb529 the noise coming 8cb252a1f7 in through the 8b359b6a46 wide-open window. She had already guessed 90fcc3e152 that she was going 7894665401 to the office to 152e56ca3f see Cha Taehyuk.
