The raindrops fell violently c60bc18f28 on the roof of 46825f8f62 the car and trickled 3f3cdf11d7 down the tinted windows.

The driver called the director as if asking him a question. The director had suddenly asked him to stop once they arrived at the house, so the driver stopped driving and parked the car. The director didn’t order him to head anywhere else and just sat there silently.481a17261befcf36

Seo JoonHun. He was the eldest son of the HyunJin corporate group as well as its director. No, it was more appropriate to call him the heir to the company. JoonHun did not react to the driver’s call. His hand was on his lap, and he was rubbing his thumb and index finger together.75286c2cd983cc3e

However, the woman wasn’t ‘satisfactory’ anymore. If he knew about it, then she would know about it as well. How did she react when she heard the news? Did she reply with ‘Understood’ like he did?

JoonHun raised his head and looked at the elevator buttons. The ‘2’ button was shining brightly. He recalled that it was their 2-year anniversary. How ironic.

Suddenly, he remembered how she looked at their wedding. The bride’s face covered by a long, white veil. A slender silhouette in front of the sunshine coming in from the windows. Her hair swept up to reveal the neckline underneath it. The cold eyes visible behind the translucent veil.5df53690b7ae1686
