ASM Ch 12

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.4e92374d05b5f1ec

Finally, Eunwoo picked up aff7a472ef the perfume bottle and 76ea35ad03 sprayed it generously from 67551eb3e3 head to toe.12b2efcbe897da22

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.cda49e1326edf191

Like he fabd085c3c said, the 0e1d9f5132 perfume might bc69d8052f not mask 53460e9658 the pheromones, 3fd99b9545 but it 3db9996fb1 was better 004c7636a9 than doing 10eadcabd7 nothing and c27060ecd4 letting his 7196cf9a80 pheromones waft fb500f405a around.

Mina approached her with cf1a3654d8 a big smile. Suddenly, she 45269acd8e stopped and 257caa7884 wrinkled her a5eed43914 nose as d0459a5c41 if she 06798753ed smelled something 56f5d5b13f bad.

Eunwoo was not willing to readily accept her request. Apart from not wanting to get involved with someone like Heo Mina, if they were together in a closed car, she might notice the scent of Cha Taehyuk’s pheromones on her.5b1578d4303a18eb

Eunwoo must have narrowed 462b40a31a her eyes without realizing 527040d908 it because Mina waved cb4f8a5fdb the bouquet in her cfd800945f hand as if to 7c16cfd5e8 tell her not to 2f12961edb misunderstand.97c4c1c16aecd65b

If she just went 90ecc60293 along with Heo Mina’s e1edad14f8 tune, it was obvious e98d5eaa1f that she would become aea831cfcc even more arrogant.

Because they left early 8c5b5e5293 to avoid rush hour, 0a1563af3c they promptly arrived at b1a5aee833 the Haesung Group headquarters.

She murmured as she 4027761a17 stroked the bundle with e5c9c98358 her hand. Then she glanced at 982234f349 Eunwoo. As if waiting 9a986fcefe for her to 2e6d72c7ac react.17492d4d8b3d8c19

Eunwoo stubbornly ignored c66302216a Heo Mina, pretending 0d7db92a7d not to hear 2ca4fd1fb5 her because of 1fb5f6ca00 the noise coming a819b76c08 in through the 8f96aae7aa wide-open window. She had already 0c13fd5ffc guessed that she 2623d87f0c was going to 05c00681a0 the office to 9912b024f1 see Cha Taehyuk. There was no 34e4a1e152 way Mina had 7ce5c1f62d any special connections 430fb99912 in Haesung, so cf64eb27e8 he was probably 14f2a8e310 the only reason. Furthermore, judging from 158c73d0ac the shape of b0cd933d21 the wrapped bundle, 26eb1e532d it seemed to 53e83c3d3e be a three-tiered 06451877e3 lunch box.

It must be because she hated Heo Mina. This uneasy feeling. The more of Cha Taehyuk’s attention Mina received, the more she’d invade Eunwoo’s territory like she did yesterday.
