Aaron immediately embraced Irene and carried her into the car. Likewise, Leo brought his wife and led her to the car.They took separate paths. Aaron directed Irene back to her apartment while Leo and Crystal went home. Irene was delirious halfway through, still having trouble opening her eyes."Can we go to the park for a little while?" Irene inquired.Aaron, who had focused on driving, began to turn to check on Irene to see if she was delirious.Feeling that Aaron didn't answer his words, Irene's hand began to move to touch Aaron's hand, which was in gear."Aaron, let's go to the Park. I don't want Noah to see me come home drunk like this," Irene said again.Aaron turned to Irene, "You'll be home late at night if you take the time to go to the Park first.""That's okay." Irene sighed.Aaron remained silent. His car was currently driving towards a park near the restaurant they had previously visited.They both arrived about 5 minutes later. Aaron came to a halt and turned to face Ire
Aaron had a crush on Irene long before she had a crush on Noah. His feelings for Irene haven't changed up until now.Noah laughed, “What a sad love story. So you've been hiding feelings for a woman who has never loved you all this time? Wow, if only Irene knew how much you love her.""If only Irene's parents knew how much Irene was suffering from living with her husband." Aaron said, "You better go because I'll be the one to take Irene home." continued Aaron.After stepping while leading Irene, Noah grabbed Aaron's arm to stop him.“There's no need to bother. Her husband is already here, so let her go home with him."Aaron stepped back, ignoring Noah's words. But Noah stopped him once more. Noah immediately drew Irene's hand into his embrace. Aaron, not wanting to lose, took Irene back into his arms.Irene, who had been unconscious, finally opened her eyes after feeling swayed here and there as Noah and Aaron fought over her.Irene, who was half-drunk, was surprised to see Noah and Aa
Noah entered the room and noticed a bucket of roses on his desk."I'm not sure how many times she sent me roses," Noah said as he sat down in his chair, holding the flower bucket.And, for the umpteenth time, Noah threw the bucket of flowers into the trash can near his desk."Even she acts nonchalant at home, but when I get to the office, she always sends me flowers," Noah said again, looking at the bucket of flowers already in the trash.Not long after, someone entered Noah's room and opened the door. Alison walked calmly over to Noah. His brow furrowed as he looked at the trash can."You threw it away all over again?" Alison inquired as he sat in the chair in front of Noah.Noah sighed and leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. "Those flowers just litter my workplace," Noah later explained."You are truly heartless. What if Irene finds out that you always throw the flowers she gave you in the trash? Do you have the courage to hurt your wife's feelings?" enquired Al
Yeri, who had been looking downcast, began to raise her head. Irene crouched down to face Yeri and held her shoulders."What's going on? Why are you crying like this?” Irene asked again.Still sobbing, Yeri tried to wipe her tears, "People say I'm shameless for sending Manager Lee flowers."Irene sighed, "Gosh, how can they talk like that." with an irritated face, Irene was about to get up from her squatting position to scold the employees who had made Yeri cry.However, Yeri immediately pulled Irene's hand to sit back in front of her."Miss Park, I'm fine. Let them say what they want to say. After all, they were right. I shouldn't have given Manager Lee flowers."Irene was silent, looking at Yeri, who tried to stop her crying. Irene had no idea Yeri liked Aaron so much. Seeing Yeri cry like that reminded Irene of her old self, who used to cry when she discovered Noah didn't like her.Irene began gently stroking Yeri's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't pay attention to what other people
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sharon, who had been waiting in Irene's room, turned her head and smiled at her daughter-in-law."Mom? How long have you been here?" Irene, still puzzled, asked."Hello, Irene," Sharon said. "No. I haven't been here long. Sorry if I came in when you weren't there."Irene, still holding her cup of coffee, laughed awkwardly, "A-ah, it's okay. I should be the one to apologize for keeping you waiting." Irene then took a step forward and sat in her chair.Her hand reached for a cell phone, intending to call one of the cleaning boys who used to make coffee for her."Hello, Chad. Could you please bring me a cup of hot tea? I'm having guests,' Irene said.'All right, Miss Park. I'll make it immediately and deliver it to your room,' said the man on the other end of the phone.'Thank you!'After hanging up the phone, Irene turned to face her mother-in-law, who was sitting in front of her."How are you?" Sharon inquired.Irene smiled, “I'm fine, thank you.
*Flashback On*Sharon and Jacob were sitting on the sofa, waiting for their only child to arrive. At that time, their face looked serious when they discovered that their family company continued to decline.Noah, who had just gotten out of his car, began walking into the house. Noah's mother had previously asked him to come home early because they had something important to discuss. Noah is already aware that his mother will undoubtedly discuss the fate of their company, which is now in Noah's hands.Noah approached his mother and father, who had been waiting all this time, with a leisurely step. Noah sat on the sofa in front of his mother and father, who was still looking at him with serious faces."Where is your promise?" Sharon inquired after Noah had managed to take a seat on the sofa.Noah sighed, “Everything takes time, Mom. I'm still working on it.”"Come on, Noah. Our company's fate is currently in your hands. You'll have no choice but to take my advice.""Do you have the hear
Irene, who had succeeded in surprising Aaron, immediately grabbed her bag from under the table and stepped out of the room, leaving Aaron, who still sat with a shocked expression while staring at Irene's steps as they stepped out."Wasn't she the one who invited me here? Then why did she come out first and leave me?" Aaron sighed, shaking his head.***Irene immediately took her cell phone from her bag after successfully getting into the car to contact someone she believed could assist her by providing information about Suzy's whereabouts."Hello, Alison? Can we meet for a while?" Irene stated after the call was successfully connected.Being Noah's best friend at school until now, Irene is certain Alison knows a lot about Noah's relationship with Suzy. Irene was also certain that Alison knew where Suzy lived.When the call ended, Irene and Alison decided to meet at a restaurant not far from their respective workplaces.Irene arrived at the restaurant after about 15 minutes of driving.
The woman nodded slowly, "That's the only information I can give you."The woman started walking away after lightly patting Irene's shoulder. Irene, who was initially surprised when she learned the hospital's address, rushed into the car.Her feet began to press the gas pedal to go to a hospital that she already knew the address.About 15 minutes later, Irene arrived at the hospital. She dashed inside, specifically to the reception desk, after getting out of the car."Excuse me, is there a patient named Choi Suzy?" she inquired."I will check it first. Wait for a second, please," the woman said as she began to open a book containing a list of patients.Soon after, the woman nodded and said, "Yes, there is. May I inquire as to your relationship with the patient?""I'm her friend. What room is she in?""She's on the third floor, in Jasmine's fourth room, Miss," the woman explained."Thank you."Irene took a quick step back to find the elevator that would take her to the third floor.Ire
Irene kept staring at Noah. When she felt Noah's hand grip her wrist, her heart skipped a beat."I need to go to the bathroom," Noah said as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.Noah stood behind the bathroom door, his heart still pounding."I must be crazy," Noah said.***Noah, who had just finished taking a shower, began to walk outside while wiping his wet hair with a towel."Yes, Mom. There's no need to be concerned. I'll keep you updated later." Irene entered the room after finishing the phone call."Is that my mother?"Irene nodded, "Yeah, I told her you were sick, so you didn't come to work today." "You shouldn't have to call her because I'm fine."Irene stepped towards Noah while putting her cell phone in her trouser pocket."Your body temperature is still quite high," Irene said after trying to place her hand on Noah's forehead. "Hurry up and get changed, and we'll go to the hospital. I'll be waiting for you outside."Irene stepped outside and waited for Noah to get
"I am home," Irene said after successfully entering her unit.She looked around the television room, but Noah was not there. Irene entered her room and tried to open the door.Irene noticed Noah lying on the bed with a blanket over his body.Irene smiled and let Noah rest while she began walking towards the bathroom to take a shower because it was already 9 p.m.A few minutes later, Irene, who had finished bathing and put on her pajamas, walked to the bed and lay down there.Irene grabbed her phone to explore social media because she wasn't tired yet. Not long after, Noah, who had been lying with his back to Irene, shifted his position so that his body faced the ceiling of the room.Noah's hand landed on Irene's left hand, which was lying on the bed, while her right hand was busy holding a cell phone.Irene's brow furrowed as she felt Noah's body temperature. Irene immediately sat up, put her phone away, and touched Noah's brow."Gosh, his body temperature is so hot," she said.Irene
Irene stopped in front of Alison and Crystal with a smile."Wow, apparently you also invited Crystal here?" Irene asked Alison.Alison nodded, smiling, “Yes, of course. Please take a seat, Irene.”Irene sat down next to Crystal in the chair. While Crystal could only laugh awkwardly at her and scowl at Alison."Sorry if I'm late.""It's okay; Crystal hasn't been here long either," he explained.Crystal giggled awkwardly, "A-ah, yes, that's right. I've only been here a short time.""Why wasn't Leo invited?" Irene inquired, her gaze shifting between Alison and Crystal."A-ah, Leo... Of course, Alison invited him to join us. But Leo can't because he is working late tonight." Crystal lied."Let's get some food; you can order whatever you want. I'll take care of it." Alison later explained.Irene smiled broadly, “Wow, really? Why are you suddenly treating us?”"Hey, exactly that's what I wanted you to do here," Alison chuckled.Irene shifted the menu book in front of Crystal, "You order fir
Irene rushed out of her room, heading straight for the parking lot.Aaron, who had just emerged from his room, began to frown as he noticed Irene walking quickly."Why has he been so busy lately?"Aaron began to walk towards the elevator; not long after, Yeri, who had noticed Aaron from a distance, began to jog to catch up with him."Good evening, Manager Lee." When Yeri arrived next to Aaron, she bowed."Oh, hi, Yeri," Aaron said, turning his head after pressing the elevator's down button. "Good afternoon."Not long after the elevator door opened, Yeri smiled. Aaron motioned for Yeri to go first into the elevator.Yeri smiled as she stepped into the elevator, her face beaming.Yeri could only remain silent while trying to think of something to say to Aaron in the elevator that brought them down to the ground floor.Yeri cast a slow glance at Aaron, who stood silently looking ahead."Manager Lee," Yeri said.Aaron turned his head, “Yeah?”"If you don't mind, could I ride with you toda
Noah, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, began to get up and walk toward the kitchen when he became hungry.He took a cup of instant ramen and began boiling water. Not long after, someone opened the door while he waiting for the water to boil."Where have you been?" Noah asked, not looking up.For a brief moment, Irene looked at Noah. "I was just meeting my friend."Noah remained silent as he waited for the water he had cooked to come to a boil. But soon, Noah's brow furrowed as Irene began hugging him from behind.Irene turned Noah's body to face her, then began to kiss Noah's lips gently.Noah's eyes widened, and he pushed Irene's body, saying, "Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm cooking?"Irene began to turn off the stove and then turned her body, grabbing Noah's hand to hug her from behind.Irene, who was standing with her back to Noah, began to move Noah's hand to her breast.“Hey, what are you doing?!”"Touch me, Noah, touch me wherever you want," Irene said, di
Adam turned his head, “Nothing. It's just that this man just ran into me.”Noah bowed his head again, "I'm sorry." Then he walked away while looking for Irene, who had just disappeared from his sight."Hey, we're not done yet!" he exclaimed.The girl held Adam's shoulder, "Never mind, just let him go.""Have you redeemed the medicine?" Adam inquired later."I have." The girl nodded while showing a plastic bag containing some medicine."Let's go home.""Can we get something to drink first?"Adam nodded, "Yes, of course."The girl smiled as she started walking with Adam, "Do you know that man?"Adam shook his head, "No, but I met him yesterday."Meanwhile, Noah kept walking while looking for where Irene's steps had gone."Oh, sh*t. I'd lost her. Where did she go?" Noah said when he couldn't find Irene.Noah's steps are now moving toward the receptionist."Excuse me. Is there a patient named Jung Crystal here?" Noah inquired as he paused in front of the reception desk."Please wait a mom
Jennie came to a halt and looked at the three girls in front of her."Ah, Mr. Won and I are just friends.""Does someone who comes only to give you breakfast deserve to be called a friend?" asked the woman again as the other two stood there silently.Jennie, who was confused, started to nod, "Yes, what's wrong?"The girl snorted and began to bend her body closer to Jennie, who was still sitting.“Mr. Won is mine. Don't ever dare to approach him. You're new here. You don't want to ruin your career when you're just getting started, do you?"Jennie remained silent while slowly nodding before the three girls snorted and walked away from her.Soon after, a girl who had been staring at Jennie from a distance began to rise from her chair and take a seat next to her."Hello, you are Jenny, right?" said the girl after sitting next to Jennie.Jennie nodded, smiling, “Yes, I am."The woman smiled widely, "Wow, you are much prettier than I thought. You know, everyone here is talking about you bec
Aaron, who had just gotten out of his car, began to walk into the restaurant.After successfully entering, from a distance, Aaron saw Yeri waving her hand while sitting at one of the available tables."I apologize for being late." While attempting to sit in front of Yeri, Aaron said.Yeri nodded, smiling, “It's okay, Manager Lee. You're only 5 minutes late.""Ah, please don't call me that when we're outside. Just say my name."“But that sounds impolite, Manager Lee. Can I call you Oppa?Aaron paused before finally nodding slowly, “A-ah, yes, you can.”Yeri smiled cheerfully. She had no idea this would be her first date with Aaron, a man she had admired for a long time.Yeri didn't care if Aaron didn't like her yet. All Yeri has to do now is show Aaron how much she adores him."Oppa, do you want to order now?" asked Yeri later."Oh, yes, please." Aaron nodded while Yeri started trying to call a waiter to come over to their table.The food and drink they had ordered arrived on the table
Suzy smiled and began telling Irene everything she knew about how she could find out if Irene had paid off all of her hospital bills.*Flashback On*A nurse came over to Suzy's room to inject some medicine through the IV that was attached to her right hand."Wow, Miss Choi, you have a grandmother who truly loves you. I get jealous sometimes because my grandmother died three years ago," the nurse said as she began to inject the first medicine.Suzy smiled, “Yes, I'm so lucky to have her. Even in her old age, she still has to be busy taking care of me and thinking of ways to pay off the hospital bills."The nurse put down the first medicine and started opening the second medicine, “You don't need to worry, Miss. All of your hospital bills for the next few months have already been paid in full. Didn't your grandmother tell you?"Suzy frowned, “What? Did I hear it wrong?""Of course not, Miss," the nurse said with a smile as she put some medicine into the container after injecting it into
