51.

Normally, Kwon Jihwan prepared his office before Eunseo arrived. He would check himself in the mirror, clean his hands, and get some tissues ready. But today, he remained seated in his chair and stared at the documents on his desk.

Of course, he couldn’t focus on them at all.

Just then, he heard someone opening the door and walking in. Jihwan didn’t even look up. He pretended to be signing something.

“Hello, Mr. Kwon.” Eunseo bowed respectfully, and it was only then that Jihwan glanced up at her.

He asked, “Did you bring your breast pump today?”

Eunseo looked confused. She replied, “Yes, I always carry it just in case. It’s in my bag.”

“Then please bring it and use it today.”

“Pardon?” Eunseo finally looked concerned.

“I’m really busy today, so I can’t do this for you. Secretary Shin is gone, so you can do it in his chair.”

Jihwan said coldly and pointed at the door with his chin. Eunseo quickly bowed.

“Of course. Please excuse me.”

When Eunseo quickly left, Jihwan became even angrier.

Why didn’t she ask him what was wrong? Couldn’t she ask him if something happened?

But no, Kang Eunseo didn’t do any of these things. She just left like she didn’t even care. In the end, Jihwan realized that perhaps he was just a replacement for a breast pump to her.

‘ I guess… what I really wanted from her was for her to know that I’m upset.’

Feeling frustrated by his own emotions, Jihwan threw his pen angrily.

Eunseo sighed while staring at the orange shopping bag. She wondered what happened to Mr. Kwon yesterday.

Today was Friday, and tomorrow was Christmas Eve. Sunday was Christmas, which meant that she really needed to give him the gift before the end of today.

But remembering what happened, Eunseo didn’t have the courage to hand it to him. It was obvious Kwon Jihwan was upset.

For the first time, they made a deal, Jihwan refused to “do it” for her yesterday. He said he was busy, but he looked very angry. Eunseo tried to figure it out all day, but when she could, she even asked Secretary Shin.

“Secretary Shin, did something bad happen to Mr. Kwon?” asked Eunseo.

“I don’t know. Nothing that I can think of, but he looks upset, doesn’t he?” replied Secretary Shin.

Eunseo couldn’t help but wonder if Jihwan was angry at her. But then… She couldn’t think of anything. Even the day before yesterday, they had such a nice time together…

Just them, Eunseo’s heart fell.

Could it be… because of “that”?

It was the first time she experienced an orgasm. Eunseo was worried she might have looked creepy and strange. She was jolting and flinching and making strange noises.

Did Jihwan find her gross? Did he find her disgusting? He told her she did well and patted her, but…

Now that Eunseo thought about this, she felt like perhaps she did creep him out. This was the only reason she could think of.

She bit her lips.

‘ That’s why I asked him not to touch me down there…’

She became resentful toward Jihwan. She warned him that she felt strange. She asked him not to touch her that way.

But Jihwan insisted on doing it, and in the end, it ruined everything. Jihwan told her what she felt was normal, but it appeared that he was just lying.

Eunseo realized that perhaps this deal between them was over.

She felt awful, and when the time came for her to visit Jihwan’s office, she didn’t know what to do.

Eunseo hesitated before grabbing her breast pump and Jihwan’s gift. Based on how he reacted yesterday, she assumed that he was probably still annoyed by her.

But she still hoped Jihwan would accept her gift.

Eunseo was on her way to Jihwan’s office when someone called out her name in the hallway.

“Eunseo.”

It was Seo Hyunwoo.

“Oh, hello.” Eunseo quickly hid the shopping bag behind her.

Hyunwoo asked, “What are you doing this Sunday?”

Only a few weeks ago, Eunseo felt like her heart would burst just from talking to Seo Hyunwoo. But now, she felt nothing.

“I’ll be just home, I guess,” she replied without paying too much attention. At the moment, she was so nervous about meeting Kwon Jihwan that she couldn’t think about anything else. Eunseo was actually annoyed that Seo Hyunwoo stopped her like this.

“Then would you like to have lunch with me?” asked Hyunwoo.

When Eunseo looked at him in surprise, Seo Hyunwoo waved his hand hurriedly and explained, “Oh, no. Please don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean anything by it. There is something I want to talk to you about work, Eunseo.”

Eunseo thought quietly for a moment. All Hyunwoo was asking was to have lunch to talk about work. So she felt guilty saying no to him. It wasn’t like he was asking her out, so she didn’t want to look like she was overreacting.

“Alright,” Eunseo answered.

When she nodded, Seo Hyunwoo looked relieved.
