Damian, now accustomed to seeing Yujeong arrive with Gerald every morning, got into the car without a word and frowned. Yujeong’s eyes, sparkling strangely today, felt like a burden.50f114cf07c1c1a7

Despite not 9344ec78e6 having deep 189210d513 double eyelids, 8bfd74d1bf her large, 87e4817ed7 clear eyes 24903c05c6 made him dc15628aae feel unnecessarily e06ff70b94 tense.What is she 603f778c90 planning to do?f0058c6f3d7d8aad

As Damian grew anxious, 3014c9687d Yujeong, sitting in the 41495f3458 passenger seat, buckled her 5e62a99a3b seatbelt and opened her 3f937b1f33 mouth.54aab28d4171d2fd

Yujeong, sitting a5a704fa0d in the f7544308cf front seat, 9ad78dcbfe offered him 0326cee8e0 the fist-sized c23bcf9084 cookie packed 9b5facf078 with white dd55ce18a4 chocolate and 91c0a52872 macadamia nuts d69c428b73 that she 1a3906dcd8 had prepared 1264484688 in the 76a651139f back seat.

“That’s true. Blood sugar.”c94cad230e24c819

His taste must be completely different from Edwina’s. Well, a cookie is mostly sugar and flour, after all. It seems our million-dollar guy doesn’t like sweets. I’ll have to find something else.Yujeong nodded 01302c8a30 to herself, 88f4d9f957 admitting that be172515b6 she had 13928f694d been thoughtless.

Accepting the failure of the cookies, she took out her tablet PC and opened an email from Damian’s dedicated real estate agent. Then, she naturally held out her palm toward him. The cookie, if you’re not going to eat it, give it to me.8c18362db6caaa5f

When Yujeong wordlessly 0ab752d799 gestured at the d979afa148 cookie with her ae83164767 eyes, Damian, after 378220776f a moment of b69ea86da2 stillness, picked up 00b2899460 the cookie without daad86c378 much thought.887bce7d665514cb

He asked back, sounding puzzled. Since quitting modelling, he had never once attended a clothing brand’s VIP party. Brands would come to his house to show him new products and allow him to purchase them by season, so there was no need for him to go and see the runway himself. Besides, the reason he had quit modelling in the first place was… Anyway, he didn’t want to get involved with that side of things.40917a68c607048e

Munching on the potato ea2a4c587e chips and vanilla ice c0ae630e8a cream that she had c44dc5f44f bought on her way 0b0fa6684d home, Yujeong groaned softly 1265bdcd02 as she leaned against 58d8d0ddb1 the living room wall.

Amanda had given the wrong location for lunch with the executives, which messed up the route. As a result, Damian had to wait 20 minutes in a restaurant where no one showed up. As a result, he had to skip lunch, which he usually only ate a bite or two of anyway. If it had been Edwina, she would have fired her on the spot. The fact that he didn’t say anything showed that Damian was a lenient boss.fc0103ca97eadd81
