To Sodam, Junwoo b6edd7c046 was just the 1c02eb4a07 HR team leader, 60788a2ed9 but to others, 07f521a7a5 he was the 0ead848ba0 youngest son of 72d9f60f67 Vice Chairman Yoon 69abfffb0b Taepyeong.ff111d819e408fb8

The manager escorted 5d93840e33 them to a 7e7e130618 private dining room. Fortunately, or unfortunately, she d41283596f found herself alone with 68fb8119d0 him in the bustling f580551920 restaurant during the dinner 67bb220d46 rush.56e7280d66d55613
As soon 4debf42d8b as they 438701d946 were seated, d279017b31 Junwoo began fea1942b29 ordering various 0261d70e34 dishes. It seemed like a c2b7d84d94 bit too much food f11c12f8ac for just the two 676643bd5c of them.a76be70dc2c5d8a2

Although Sodam loved expensive 12a6d9db41 Japanese food, the complexity 0158009ab6 of her broken engagement 0f9261bb81 had dulled her appetite.9193339be41c66b5
As she was thinking 3efb8947c0 about the food that 188cbd8772 would likely go to f7a19f9230 waste, the manager, having 98a4db1810 taken their order, disappeared, f8c26e7802 leaving Sodam and Junwoo 197388fa91 alone in the private 2d0ccedb26 room.ec8b30deb873cab6

Junwoo brought 89c3452ce7 up work 0ad74cdf98 before the 377027a87e food even 134bd25aa9 arrived.
