14.

Eunseo’s voice sounded very business-like again. Feeling disappointed, Jihwan couldn’t help asking her a question even when she turned around to leave.

“…I think I deserved to be thanked.”

Kang Eunseo flinched and paused. She turned around and bowed respectfully.

“Yes, of course. Thank you so much for doing this overnight shift with me, President Kwon. I think I would have been scared if I had to do it alone.”

Jihwan had to stop himself from bursting into laughter.

“Not about that.”

“Pardon?” When Eunseo looked confused, Jihwan took a step toward her.

He replied, “…You know, about that night. The paint?”

When he pointed at her eyes, Eunseo seemed to realize what he was talking about. She gasped and answered.

“Yes, of course. Thank you so much for helping me.”

“So I wasn’t just being nosy. I helped?”

“Yes, you did.”

Jihwan crossed his arms and explained, “I usually don’t like to get involved in my employees’ businesses, but I also don’t want there to be any personal problems between them. If there is, it would affect their work.”

Jihwan was lying. He was actually curious about what happened, but he was trying not to sound nosy.

He asked, “If you like Mr. Seo Hyunwoo, why did you reject him?”

“I have my reasons.”

Jihwan was only guessing that she liked Seo Hyunwoo. But since she didn’t deny it, he now knew that he was right. He asked another question.

“Does your reason have something to do with Mr. Seo Hyunwoo? Or with you, Miss Kang?”

“…Me, Sir.”

“So does that mean it wouldn’t matter who asked you out?”

“That’s right.”

Just what was the reason that she couldn’t date anyone? Jihwan was curious, but he knew he shouldn’t ask such a personal question. And it didn’t look like she would answer him even if he asked.

“Good night, Sir.”

Kang Eunseo bowed and headed toward a nearby booth. Jihwan felt disappointed again. It was still pretty early in the morning, so they had plenty of time to chat. But it seemed that this conversation was over.

***

Phew.

Eunseo sighed deeply, making sure she kept quiet so the man nearby couldn’t hear her. Being near Kwon Jihwan made her uncomfortable.

To be honest, she had been avoiding him as much as possible since that day when he helped her.

Before that day, Kwon Jihwan was just her boss and nothing more. She was never interested in him because he was a man from a different world.

But after he helped her, Eunseo couldn’t help but think about him often. There were days when she wondered what Kang Jihwan was doing, and she realized that she was in trouble.

She had a very bad feeling about this.

Eunseo couldn’t date even an ordinary man, so how could she even think about the CEO of his company? She couldn’t be that stupid, could she?

Of course, Eunseo knew herself very well. She fell in love very easily, which was problematic. The best thing she could do for herself was to nip this in the bud.

She needed to avoid Kwon Jihwan as much as possible, and this was exactly what she had been doing.

‘ So why did I have to bump into him like this here?’

Eunseo sighed again, finding it impossible to believe that they would be sleeping in the same space until tomorrow morning.

She has seen him from afar often, but never like this. Today, Eunseo stood right in front of him, and it was the first time she saw his face straight on. She always imagined Jihwan to have cold eyes, but tonight, he looked at her with amusement.

Eunseo was again surprised by how handsome he was. All of his features were beautiful, and together, they created a perfect face. Jihwan was also very charismatic. There was something very dominant and strong about him that made her nervous.

Even now, Eunseo couldn’t help feeling anxious. Just looking at him made her breathless, which was why she left him as quickly as possible.

She was surprised that Jihwan knew about her feelings for Seo Hyunwoo. She was even more shocked that Jihwan asked her such a personal question. He was the CEO of this whole company, so why was he interested in the newbie designer’s love life?

Could it be that he was interested in her?

Kang Eunseo pinched herself hard.

‘ Don’t be so stupid, Kang Eunseo! Come on!’

What he said meant nothing. She knew this very well. She just needed to get through this night, and she would never get to speak informally with Kwon Jihwan ever again.

Eunseo quickly placed her blanket over the bed and wondered where the washroom was located. She worried if the breast pump might make loud enough noise for Kang Jihwan to hear.

Just then, Eunseo froze.

Her breast pump!

Earlier, the guard told her that she needed to leave her bag outside. She did without thinking, but now, she realized that her breast pump was in that bag too.
