"I can't believe it snowed on your first meeting How romantic."

Joo-hee, who was looking out the window, suddenly said.

"I stopped by an adult exhibition I knew and met Hye-won there by chance. So I was thinking about having dinner with her, but I suddenly thought of you."

"By the way, Hyewon must be very hungry. Should we eat first?"

"I am..fine."

When the woman opened her mouth. Taeseok's heart beat violently. She had such a lovely voice that I wanted to pat her cheek.

"Shall we order then?"

"I'Il prepare a menu for you. What kind of wine would you like?"

Joo-hee answered the server's question, "Oh, I'm done. I have to go in now."

"You... promised to eat with me." Hye-won looked perplexed.

"I have to go in before the traffic gets worse. I've had an accident with snow before, but I'm

nervous even if snow accumulates a little bit."

"This happens when you get older." Joo-hee smiled gracefully and got up from her seat However, there was no way Hyowon was unaware of her intention.

"Still stay a little longer..."

"Then you two talk."

When Joo-hee left, Hye-won was restless like a puppy who lost her mother. Tae-seok looked at her silently. The fact that she was hiding her face or couldn't even make eye contact stimulated his curiosity. He suddenly wondered. Laying her down on his bed, and rummaging his way through her the way he wants, what sound will she make.

Tae-seok's thoughts barely stopped when he rubbed the tip of his erect cock against his pants. The server brought the food.

"Looking at your expression, you seem to have been forced out, too," It was Tae-seok who broke the silence first.

"Do you know my name?"

"It's Kwon... Tae Seok." Hye-won looked embarrassed when he talked informally without hesitation.

She was hardly over vigilant. Tae-seok tapped the table with his long fingertips. Apparently, it was clear that she heard that his former attendant was beaten to death with a golf club.

"Since you showed up here today, you know what I mean, right?"

"What.. Do you mean?"

Hye-won, who picked up the knife, tilted her

head. Tae-sook gave a smooth smile.

"It means you can't get out of this marriage anymore."

"..."

"Your family wants to have three children, are you prepared?'

Hye-won dropped her knife from her hand because of his blunt words. Tae-seok almost burst into laughter.

"Calm down."

"..."

"Even so, I won't let you down on the first day we met."

When the knife slipped from Hye-wan's hand

again, Tao-sook could not stand it this time.

Taeseok's laughter rang out. Mr Park, who was

wary of the surroundings nearby, opened his eyes wide as if he could not believe

"it meant it for you to laugh"

"Its.. Its not funny."

"Why don't you drop honorifics? I can't wait to

get close to you."

Hyewon held the knife properly without answering. At that moment, she flinched without realizing it. It was because he got up from his seat, lowered his upper body, and made eye contact with her.

His well-grown beautiful body drew closer. Overwhelmed by the body odor of a man, she froze as it was, it was a brief moment, but she thought he was trying to forcefully take her lips

away.

"I'll do it for you."

But what Tae-seok took was Hye-won's plate.

Hye-won swallowed a sigh of relief as he began to cut the steak without hesitation, But his ever pouring of hot eyes still made her nervous. Despite her naive personality, she's not foolish enough to not realize that he has a positive feelings on her.

"Let me hear it."

"Wh.. at?"

"About you."

Tae-seok, who put her plate back in place, slowly licked up the sauce on his finger.

"Not just one thing about you but everything"

...****************...

"heard you met her last week?"

Tae-seok, who was lighting a cigarette, raised his eyes

"Who said that?"

"Well, that's a bit of a rumor."

Myung Hyuk smiled. He was Taasook's cousin and one of Mujin's lawyers.

"She is the granddaughter of the honorary chairman of the Swan Group. If it's the Swan Group, isn't it from Aunt's family?"

"That's right. I heard it's a relationship between.

my mother's family and in-laws."

"I heard that it was a marriage that was achieved because Aunt actively pushed it. How

old is she?"

"23."

"Then, is she a college student now?"

"No. She works as a regular employee at the SPA brand affiliated with the Swan Group"

"There's a lot at stake for this marriage, but in the long run, the wedding doesn't really matter.

There's nothing interesting except that she is the biological granddaughter of the honorary

chairman of Swan Group"

Tae-seok did not deny Myung-hyuk's words.

"She chose a daughter-in-law according to her

taste, in order to monitor my every move."

"Aunt still hasn't given up on the expectation that her son will take the throne?"

Myung-hyuk glanced at Tae-sook's expression.

"Are you going to do it?"

"What?'

"The marriage."

Tae-seok looked out the window of the smoking room without answering.

It was at a meal a couple of months ago that Tae-seok learned about the marriage.

Ho Jong-hwan, president and CEO of Swan Home & Network (HAN), a partner of Mujin

Construction, was seated at the place where his father called.

The two companies were preparing for a fierce

battle ahead of the selection of construction

companies for a redevelopment area in Seoul.

At first, Tae-seok thought it was just a business meeting. But the conversation gradually moved on to the other side.

'Oh yeah, I heard that Hyewon started at the

company not too long ago? How old is she this

year?'

'She's 23.'

'Already? Is she dating a man?'

'As far as I know, there isn't. She's so shy.'

'I saw Hyewon once when she was attending an international school in Hong Kong, and she was very kind. Even though she had lived abroad for a long time, she was so polite.'

'It was nothing.'

CEO Ha said modestly.

'She's still pampered at home. When she was young, she was always not feeling well, so we

took care of her. Oh, now she is in good health.'

'That's a relief.'

'Because she's the youngest, she's always like a little girl. When she joined our company this time, she wanted to move closer to the company, so l made her independent. How anxious is it for us that that child who cannot cook ramyeon lives alone. I'm worried that she might be stressed out because of her social life.'

"Yeah. Then I think my heart will be reassured...'

CEO Ha blurted out the end of his words and looked at Tae-seok's eyes.

He had a hunch then. That the old folks are already done talking.

Tae-seok was not surprised because he had a wedding with a woman from another prestigious family last year. In the world he lived in, marriage was also part of the business. To pursue corporate interests and consolidate power.

Recently, although the number of people getting married is increasing, dramatic marriages such as love with ordinary people are still rare. That is why Tae-seok accepted it with dignity. For him, who wants to take over the management of the group, marriage was like signing an approval document.

Although the fact that there might be a wife and children was uncomfortable, he could not ignore his image. In particular, it was unconditionally advantageous to have a family to deal with senior executives.

'How would you like to see her once, Tae-seok?'

When the eyes of his father and CEO Ha were focused, Tae-seok responded expressionlessly.

'I want to meet her once.'

And a few days later, a fairly thick document was delivered through his secretary. It was from his father. It seemed that the background check on the woman had already been completed. Tae-seok had left it in a drawer without even reading it. He was not that interested in his opponent.

Ha Hye-won, until he met her in person.

"...rim... Meeting?"

Tae-seok belatedly recognized Myung-hyuk's voice. He turned to Myung-hyuk with a cigarette in his mouth.

"...What?"

"Why are you so out of your mind?"

Myunghyuk stared at him with a puzzled look. "It's Christmas Eve tomorrow. Are you meeting Serim?"

"We broke up."

Taeseok answered briefly and rubbed out his cigarette. Myunghyuk's eyes widened.

"When?"

"It's been a few days."

"All of a sudden? You two were dating well not

too long ago."

"It wasn't a deep relationship in the first place. She knew that we could break up at any time."

"Really? Maybe... Is it because of that girl from the Swan Group?"

Tae-seok ignored Myung-hyuk's surprised gaze and left the smoking room.

After returning to the office, Taeseok picked up the cell phone he had left on the desk.

There were several messages from a number he saw for the first time.

[Please meet me just once. Let's meet and talk.)

Tae-seok's brow frowned.

There was no sender's name, but it was definitely Serim. Even after the farewell notice She constantly contacted him, so he blocked her number. She seemed to have left a message through someone else's cell phone. Then he called someone.

[Hello.]

The young voice that came after the long phone call seemed a little sleepy.

"It's me."

Hye-won was speechless as if embarrassed. Probably with those big eyes wide open.

As he imagined it, his tooth suddenly ached.

"Did you sleep? At work?"

[Today is a day off.]

"What about lunch?"

[I ate. Director... What about you?]

"What did I say on the phone yesterday?"

[To speak comfortably and... call you by your name.]

"Then say it."
