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
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
"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 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
A woman wearing a suit and a black span skirt pressed the number 9 button in the elevator, which now took her to the floor where her room was.The elevator doors reopened, and the woman began to walk out. Her long steps were accompanied by the sound of knocking from her 5-centimeter high heel.Employees who had been sitting in their chairs began to rise from their seats one by one to greet the woman.Park Irene is a woman in the highest position and the owner of a startup company that was previously managed by her father before he decided to manage it elsewhere.Who doesn't know Irene? The female employees, especially the male employees, idolize the beautiful and friendly woman who works in her company.However, behind the perfection that makes many people look at her with admiration, not a few of them talk about Irene's life behind her back.In addition to her beauty and charm, Irene is known as a person who is very active in her work, as evidenced by her efforts to maintain and deve
Even though Irene had heard the mockery directed at her, she was unconcerned and dismissed it as a breeze. Irene, who is happy living a life that may appear ambitious in the eyes of others, is fine even if others believe she is not.Getting married up to 30 years at age is not a sad thing for Irene, even though she wishes to marry soon. But how can she want to marry when she hasn't found the right man?Although many people judge Irene as a picky person and very perfectionist, it's no wonder why she hasn't found her soulmate until now.When it was time for lunch, Irene walked out of her room to the canteen with a sluggish face.Irene was holding the tray and waiting in line for food when Aaron arrived and then was in line behind her."What's the deal with your sluggish face?" Aaron inquired of Irene."Good afternoon, Miss Park," said one of the catering waiters in charge of delivering various types of side dishes to the office employees' trays."Good afternoon," Irene said with a smile
"Did you sign it?" Aaron, who happened to walk by and noticed Irene at Kang Yeri's desk, inquired."It took me a long time to think about it, and I've finally made up my mind," Irene said, turning to stare at Aaron.Irene and Aaron rose to their feet to return to their respective rooms."How about your mother's words? Have you also made a decision?"When Irene heard Aaron's words, she abruptly stopped walking and beat Aaron with an irritated face. Without realizing it, a female employee passing by could only smile a little and bow her head as she walked past her two superiors.When Irene noticed the female employee's presence, she couldn't help but awkwardly smile while nodding slowly and inviting the woman to continue on her way, "Hey! You almost shattered my image of friendliness and firmness in front of that girl!" Irene mumbled while hitting Aaron again, who winced but held back laughter."I'm just asking, why did you hit me?""It took me days just to sign the proposal; how can I
Irene sighed and began to lay her head on the table, as she had done earlier this afternoon in the office cafeteria."How can I say no to my mother's invitation to arrange a date for me with her best friend's child?" Irene expressed her displeasure."What?! You were engaged?!" Crystal stared at Irene, who was drooping limply, with wide eyes.Irene nodded slowly, "Crystal, what should I do?""Why don't you try to come first, even if your mother's choice is very handsome and wealthy?" Crystal stated."Oh, sh*t. I should not have asked you two for advice."Not long after, a waiter came back to their table bringing 2 servings of tteokbokki with 5 bottles of soju.Irene quickly straightened her seat and poured a bottle of soju into the glass before taking a sip.One gulp, two gulps, until Irene finishes two bottles of soju all by herself."What's the deal with her?" Aaron inquired, continuing to notice Irene, who was still pouring soju into the glass and sipping it nonstop."Did being in a

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
