Nareum's pov

I'm already sitting on his couch, feeling proud that I already memorised everything in the list about him.

“Good that you have it remembered. And just to let you know. The latest product is selling out really fast, thanks to your work”
Mr Sim walked over and sat.

“I never disappoint”
I said and he didn't say anything.

“Anyway, we're going out for lunch later. Take a turn around the city”
-Mr Sim

“With you alone? No way, I'm bringing Eunseo"
I rejected his suggestion.

“If that's what you want…”
He mumbled, avoiding my eyes.

“Why are you sulking?”
I notice his slight shift in mood.

“Why would I be sulking? And, anyway. It's good so my assistant won't be so lonely when following us”
He caught a glimpse of Mr Yang.

I looked behind me and Mr Yang was glaring daggers at Mr Sim, although his cheeks have a tint of pink. 

I don't know about Eunseo, but I need to keep her away from him.

These two men shouldn't be played with, knowing how both of them are so alike.

“Jaeyun, have you seen my.. Ohh, sorry to interrupt”
A man walked into the room, his dad.

“Not at all, we were just discussing some-”
I stopped when I felt someone's hand on my waist.

I immediately knew it was him, so I forced a smile. 

“Why are you here?”
His voice turned serious, looking at his dad.

“Is that who I think it is? Is that your new girlfriend?”
His dad walked over to us.

“Hello, it's nice to meet you sir”
I shook his dad's hand when he offered it.

“What a beautiful young lady. You should've told me sooner”
He complimented me.

“I apologise, I was still shy about meeting you. Mr Si..I mean Jake was just following what I said”
I chuckled, resting my head against Jake's chest behind me.

“What did you come here for? Don't waste my time”
Jake spoke up.

“Sorry, I just wanted to stop by for fun. Since you two are busy now, I'll leave you alone. And what's your name?”
His dad shifted his eyes to me.

“Yun Nareum”
I answered.

“I hope we can all have dinner together soon, Nareum. I'll see you soon”
He laughed and walked away, leaving us alone.

After the door shut, I push Jake's hand off me and distanced myself away from him.

“You didn't even warn me that he was coming”
I dusted off my shirt.

“That's what I hate about him. He self-invites himself to my office. I didn't expect him to come either”
He adjusted his blazer.

“Then why don't you install a camera at the entrance to monitor if he's coming or not”
I sat back down on the couch.

“That wouldn't be such a bad idea actually. Mr Yang, get someone to install it”
He told him.

“As a ceo, you should know better than me. Oh my gosh, you're not meant for this job”
I said in disbelief.

There's no point in being rich if you lack common sense.

(1pm)

I invited Eunseo to hang out with the other two and she agreed. We were now heading to the car park with Jake and Mr Yang.
