“Oh, no, it’s exhausting to satisfy. I’ve to clean up, but when I am going residence, I will probably be late, so I’ll go to the lodge.”

Confused Hae-won stammered.

– Haewon is the CEO, so it doesn’t matter if you happen to’re late. There’s nobody to scold you.

“I needs to be an instance. There needs to be nobody to level at me.”

It was extra of a resigned tone than a reproach.

Hae-won modified the decision to speaker mode and ready to exit. She thought it was as a result of Adam didn’t say something as the decision time repeatedly elevated.

– How’s your home? It should be nearer than the lodge.

Did you pause to say this?

Haewon refused with a snap.

“It’s okay.”

– We’re going to remain collectively anyway.

“That’s not at present. Adam, I’ve to exit. I’ll dangle up now. Have a pleasant day.”

Hae-won ended the decision with out listening to any reply.

She was frightened that Adam would possibly wait in entrance of the constructing, however she was grateful he wasn’t. However, Haewon drove on a special street than regular. It was as a result of she felt like she was being chased by one thing.

‘And my physique…’

Within the automotive, she unwittingly held the steering wheel and put power on her hand. Her coronary heart tightened as she repeated the discharge of her fist and a faint slight fever wound across the physique.

Is it due to Adam’s voice that I’ve heard since morning?

Adam saved reminding her of the Alpha.

He was a sophisticated man.

Haewon completed checking in and received on the elevator alone.

It was a burdensome value to return after simply having a shower, nevertheless it was rationalized with the thought of shopping for time.

Above all, she didn’t need to return residence with a grimy physique after her warmth. Yeah, it’s soiled. Haewon felt like a beast.

When she entered the neatly organized room, she all of a sudden remembered Bora’s phrases that mentioned, “In case you don’t need to journey, generally go on a lodge trip.”

‘You have to relaxation.’

Hae-won smiled gently as Bora’s affectionate scolding got here to thoughts. Let’s fake we’re on a lodge trip. 1 hour and 40 minutes till work time.

It was an hour and 40 minutes of trip.

“Ought to I take a lower-body bathtub after a very long time?”

She slept on the workplace desk all evening, so her entire physique was crumpled. Because it occurred to be a room with a big bathtub, Haewon obtained water with out a lot thought.

Splash!

When the steam from the bath touched her face, her eyelashes had been moist. With the gradual rise of water, the air inside heated up within the quiet hallway.

And, Adam.

Splash.

One of many leaning arms slid into the bath. The interior ripples prompted a twig on the calm water floor. Haewon turned off the water and ran out.

“…….”

She sat in entrance of the espresso desk in the lounge and skim the newspaper whereas the water was being obtained. After all it couldn’t have been learn. The phrases had been wealthy and disappeared within the head with out making an entire sentence.

It was time to flip by way of the newspaper mechanically like that. The second she noticed an article on the cultural web page, her coronary heart sank.

[JS Atrium Museum is trying to make a new change]

Haewon folded the newspaper in half and put it down on the desk. That shallow bundle of paper felt like Pandora’s field.

She is aware of they’ll proceed to see one another if she avoids him like this. It will likely be solely a matter of time earlier than the interview is posted together with Adam’s image on the primary portal website as there may be an article within the newspaper.

And but she’s so shaken by just a few articles about Adam. Her coronary heart, which she thought had calmed down, started to run once more.

Adam had a knack for making his opponent suppose twice as uncomfortable. Then why is it awkward?

As a result of I really feel like I’m a prey?

Standing in entrance of that smooth and decadent gaze, she felt like a residing and shifting goal.

The humorous factor was that Adam didn’t appear to need to hunt, and he simply appeared to take pleasure in observing this case.

Or press the prey slowly into the nook.

Both approach.

One factor was clear.

With solely two encounters, Adam shortly gained the higher hand of the connection. If Chairman Web optimization knew, it will have been dangerous.

Knock, knock.

Somebody knocked on the door.

Hae-won jumped up like a rabbit with entrance ft.

No approach.

Haewon gulped down his saliva.

“We’re the entrance desk, madam.”

The following voice relieved the stress. Haewon fastidiously opened the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry, I ought to have advised you on the entrance desk, however there was a mistake. This rest equipment is being supplied to friends as an occasion.”

The lodge clerk handed over the field. Contained in the field had been sleep masks, small earplugs, and bathtub salts product of pure supplies.

“Thanks for bringing it your self.”

“No fear, then have a cushty morning.”

The employees greeted her politely and went again.

Haewon walked to the lavatory with the field, and it shortly bubbled up when she poured the tub agent into the stuffed water.
