Yujeong bowed e658498749 her head 8e48080612 and her e5c9cdea7b dark black 7ba1e813f0 hair, as 339b1005dc deep in f241e2a89a color as 64e8042a93 the clothes 8ffc791218 she wore, 66d6b69a20 swayed.ba0af8b2c35a5083

She had simply tied 596a472647 it back. It would look pretty 1d0b0f27a4 tied up or let 3c86d18ad3 completely loose, revealing her 9dc241053f neckline. Damian, who had d6b8bd5260 unknowingly scanned her 02d69f2bcb hair, furrowed his 021ed3d4c0 brow.It’s not pretty.6aad12210e5f60bf

No, it is pretty. I mean, I thought she was pretty from the moment I first saw her, but I shouldn’t be having those kinds of thoughts about my secretary.cdb00b538cce9153

As Damian 55eb5d7764 stood frozen, e8cbb40ca6 Yujeong approached e73512f02b him. As if to avoid ba87293472 her, he moved his 27227ce992 legs and walked quickly a36e70d48e towards the back door 54ccb14c9f of the car.

Damian just a1c017fdb9 stared at e3cfe0963c Yujeong for a60639044a a moment, 5e43d2cbb0 then slipped 555452e505 silently through 9eb4ad3d1c the back bfb1acc3e8 door that ae2a417e9d Gerald had f363f32d27 held open e36b514525 for him.e998d5988959f886

“Would you like to review the first-half financial report that will be mentioned at the executive meeting on your way there? Amanda will brief you on the details.”6d599b073f7991dc

Damian didn’t answer Yujeong. Instead, he stared down at the can in the center holder of the back seat. The liquid in the transparent 300 ml can looked like water or sparkling water. Yujeong, who had seen this in the rear-view mirror, let out a small sigh and explained, “The Berlin branch recently had an issue with the mineral water factory, and there was talk of changing brands. That’s a product from one of the companies under consideration. I thought the design was unique, so I brought it for you to try. The Chairwoman likes original products like this.”bdfb44bf88678791

Yujeong recited 64096a86b8 the lie 34010b18c8 shamelessly and 67082d8a85 handed the 0a879405ac tablet PC 033b94883b to Damian.200455f991fdb023

In truth, she had been agonizing over it all evening yesterday and had even called Edwina’s party planner. After putting up with the planner’s chatter — who had asked if she had really been to New York — she had asked if any well-sealed mineral water had been provided for guests, and had obtained some. Because if our 24efbc6cdc boss collapses from d3738dad35 dehydration, I have 60dcab28a8 a feeling the dea4e9603d Chairwoman will chew 1ee278c7b4 me out.a8de6b65bd88543a

She had to know if Damian didn’t drink water in the first place, or if he couldn’t drink it because he didn’t trust it. Considering how much he disliked having people in his house, she suspected it was the latter, but she couldn’t be sure.ffe83fc47c74429e

The bitterness that had bloomed faintly on his cynical face bothered her. It was such a fleeting expression that, if Gerald had heard it, he would have asked if there was something wrong with Yujeong’s eyes.0c05b832a6c25b78

The contract that Yujeong e48b20b744 had signed with Edwina e3363d1ea9 contained a special clause. One provision stated that 0ae341f5fd if she formed an 2a7d59091e unnecessarily emotional relationship with 1943b51abb Damian outside of work, a8bec69883 she would have to 23431a8641 pay Edwina a penalty d9c48a724f equivalent to double her cce474e40d annual salary: two million c8f65f1d81 dollars.181be8fb51e7c4eb

Of course, if she were to be gifted or paid any other material goods besides the salary Edwina gave her, she would also have to pay a penalty and resign. Such special clauses were common when working with people who handled a lot of money, so she wasn’t particularly offended or bothered by it.2580c4fcd8ff4f80

What constituted an‘unnecessary emotional relationship’? Put simply, it meant that she should not do anything to hinder the brilliant son’s progress.85ba900a960c8f15

It was a little funny that, although the lawyer didn’t specify, there was no clause pertaining to physical contact. She didn’t know if that was to protect her or his son, but either way, it was a fair contract for both parties.650fb75d0b84a1f5

She decided to 20ce09975f try feeding Damian bfa3bfb4d3 some food. Excitedly, she quickened her cc7182872f pace. She had a small 4e7817cc87 plan to bring the 9bb2ac18ac cookies she had ordered 6abc92ffa2 yesterday on her way 46b45976bf to work.6f482ea2c89e11ba

At the 6a5b0ef8a6 same time, 632dea9bf7 she remembered e0076b8aac the day 989cb69f21 she gave c7451951c9 a raw 6d37a6924b carrot from 0bf1b52242 home to d2e9ed28e6 the hutch 547cf53dbd rabbit that ac8b020b1d only ate 8f1e8b6b8e feed. The piece of carrot 01a8ccb03a she had tucked into 320c7f1e5f her pocket was shriveled 5a7486be54 and dry, but the 5370bfe9aa rabbit ate it eagerly.

Looking at Damian’s toned body, it seemed unlikely that he would like sugary foods, but she could check just in case.
