“Secretary Han, why do you think I drink coffee every morning?”
Yerin thought for a moment and then came up with an answer.
When Secretary Choi handed over the job, he had heard that Lee Hyun preferred to drink coffee in the morning.
“Isn’t it because he wants to focus on his work with a clear mind?”
“Yes, that was the reason before Secretary Han came to be my personal secretary.”
Lee Hyun’s lips curved upward as if there was another reason.
“Coffee is an excuse now, and I’m just trying to see Secretary Han’s face one more time.”
Yerin’s eyes widened slightly because she had never heard of this before.
“But what are you going to do if you send someone so ridiculous?”
Lee Hyun slowly let go of the hand that was holding Yerin’s face.
Then he wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Yerin was startled and placed both hands on Lee Hyun’s chest.
“Director, this is the company.”
“I know this too.”
“Let go of this… … .”
Even though Yerin tried to get away, Lee Hyun was holding her with such a strong hold that there was no room.
Yerin, who was worried for no reason, glanced at the tightly closed door once before turning her gaze back to Lee Hyun.
“Director, you’re not going to have any more skinship here, are you?”
His face was filled with determination not to let that happen.
Lee Hyun snickered and answered.
“Yeah, I don’t have any plans for that yet. I’ll just hold you like this.”
This was almost a relief.
“But since someone might come in, how about just holding hands?”
Lee Hyun’s eyebrows rose slightly at Yerin’s words.
“Who would dare come into my office without my permission? Right?”
“Of course.”
Still, he was worried.
Lee Hyun tilted his head as he thought back on what Yerin had said earlier.
“But, Han Yerin, there’s no going back on skinship. You know,
right?” “Retreat?”
“Just now, you said no kissing, no hugging. And you said let’s hold hands.”
When Yerin opened her lips slightly in surprise, Lee Hyun put a stop to it.
“Why don’t you go forward? Why are you going backward? It’s disappointing.”
It seemed like it was something to be disappointing, but Lee Hyun’s face was very sincere.
“And there’s something I’m curious about.”
“Yes. What is it?”
“A kiss.”
Lee Hyun slowly opened his mouth as if he was seriously contemplating something.
“How do I know when Han Yerin is ready to kiss?”
“That’s… … .”
“I’m worried about how to distinguish when I really want to and when I don’t.”
“By the way, Lee Hyun, do you often think like that when you see me?”
Lee Hyun tried to answer Yerin’s question, but soon closed his lips tightly.
Whether he was with Yerin or not, he thought about her all the time.
To be exact, it was true that he thought like that often.
But I couldn’t do that because if I said that, Yerin would think I was a vicious beast.
“What, sometimes?”
Yerin was relieved when Lee Hyun said that it wasn’t often.
Then she gave a pretty appropriate answer to the worry Lee Hyun had asked her.
“Then, count the number of times you feel like kissing, Lee Hyun.”
“How many times?”
“Yes. You said it wasn’t often, but that you feel it sometimes. After you hold it in about ten times, wouldn’t it be okay to do it?”
Lee Hyun laughed loudly as if he was satisfied with that.
“That’s a good idea. If you hold it in ten times, can I do it without asking?”
“Yes. I think so.”
Of course, some people might think it’s strange to set such a condition even when you’re a couple, but there was nothing she could do.
If she had set a condition about the location, Lee Hyun would have denied it, saying that the office was a closed space and that no one would come.
So in that brief moment, she thought about setting a limit on the number of times.
‘I didn’t say I felt that urge often, so ten times should be enough.’
Yerin felt very satisfied inside as she thought that.
She didn’t know.
At this very moment, Lee Hyun had already filled that number of times.

It was the day of the private fashion show held at Jiseok Department Store.
It was an event that only VVIPs could be invited to, but Yerin was able to secure a seat thanks to Mrs. Yoon’s power.
“You’re early, Yerin?”
Yerin smiled brightly at Mrs. Yoon, who warmly welcomed her.
“How have you been?”
“Yeah. I’ve been doing well. You couldn’t sleep well last night because Yerin said she’d come to the fashion show with you? Hehe.”
Yerin smiled along with Mrs. Yoon, who covered her mouth with her hand like a girl.
Today, Yerin held the luxury bag that Mrs. Yoon had given her. She
always kept it at home because it was precious, but that wasn’t a courtesy to receive a gift, but a choice.
Mrs. Yoon was very happy when she realized that Yerin had brought the bag she had given her.
“This bag, just as I thought, suits Yerin well.”
“It’s thanks to your good taste, Madam. Thank you so much for the gift.”
“I’m glad that Yerin listens so well. Let’s go inside. The fashion show will start soon.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The two sat in the front row of the audience.
Everyone recognized Mrs. Yoon and greeted her, and after a while, the fashion show began.
Models walked the runway in new clothes made by famous designers.
Mrs. Yoon whispered quietly next to her.
“You can tell me if you want any clothes.”
“Oh, no. I’m happy just looking.” She
said this even though she knew Yerin would refuse.
It would have been okay to be a little greedy at times like this, but Yerin never did.
With the heart of a mother who wanted to take care of even one more thing, Mrs. Yoon stared at Yerin intently.
“Our Lee Hyun really has a good eye for people.”
She didn’t know where she found such a kind child, but it was truly praiseworthy.
After the fashion show ended, the lights came up and everyone left one by one.
It was quite early for dinner.
“Yerin, would you like to go up to the lounge and have a cup of tea?”
“Yes, I’d like to.”
Yerin was sad to part ways with Mrs. Yoon after watching the fashion show, so she readily followed her into the VIP lounge.
As she took a seat by the window
and Mrs. Yoon was about to say something, the sound of high heels clicking was heard, and a familiar face approached her and greeted her.
“Oh, mother! It’s nice to see you here.”
It was Seo-yoon.
Mrs. Yoon frowned upon recognizing her, and Yerin pretended to be embarrassed.
Seo-yoon frowned upon realizing the identity of the young woman sitting in front of Mrs. Yoon.
Then, belatedly realizing Mrs. Yoon, she smiled brightly.
“Thank you so much for coming to my gayageum recital that day. If you have time, I’d like to buy your mother a cup of tea… … .”
Mrs. Yoon cut Seo-yoon off in a dignified voice.
“Ms. Seo-yoon, why am I Miss Seo-yoon’s mother?”
“Huh?”
“I want you to be careful about your title.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
It was a title she chose to approach in a friendly manner, but it seemed to have offended Mrs. Yoon.
‘How picky.’
Seo-yoon thought that to herself, but smiled brightly on the outside.
“Ye-rin, what are you doing? With your wife?”
After asking that question, she let out an “ah-” sound as if she knew the reason later.
“You were helping your wife while she was shopping?”
It was as if she was looking down on Ye-rin.
Before Ye-rin could say anything,
Mrs. Yoon reprimanded Seo-yoon in a cold voice again.
“Miss Seo-yoon, how about being more careful with your words?”
It was another reprimand.
She had clearly come here to please Mrs. Yoon, but somehow she felt like she was losing points.
‘I need to find something we have in common.’
Seo-yoon quickly moved her eyes as she thought about that.
And then a bag from a famous luxury brand caught Seo-yoon’s eye.
It was the bag that only three of them were made in Korea.
By a stroke of luck, Seo-yoon was able to obtain that bag with great difficulty after begging Assemblyman Kwak.
“Yes, that’s it.”
Fortunately, Seo-yoon brought that bag today.
Seo-yoon held the bag in her other hand so that Mrs. Yoon could see it, and she spoke in a clear voice.
“Madam, your tastes are very similar to mine. I have this bag, too.”
Despite those words, Mrs. Yoon looked rather annoyed.
“Maybe we have similar tastes… … .”
As she was talking, Seo-yoon’s eyes belatedly caught another identical bag.
“Huh? Is this bag Han Ye-rin’s?”
Judging from the bag next to Ye-rin, it was definitely hers.
There was no way Mrs. Yoon would have brought out two identical bags.
Seo-yoon’s face hardened in embarrassment.
“How did you have this bag?”
It was a limited edition that I had also had a really hard time getting.
It was not a bag that Ye-rin, who had no money and no family, could dare buy.
The answer to Seo-yoon’s question came from Mrs. Yoon.
“I bought that bag to give to my daughter-in-law when I have one, but I thought it would go well with Ye-rin, so I gave it to her as a gift.”
“Huh? No, that… … .”
Seo-yoon was simply confused.
If it was a bag that I was going to give to my daughter-in-law, then of course I should have received it when I became that family’s daughter-in-law.
However, she was extremely angry that the bag ended up in Ye-rin’s arms.
“Don’t they look good together?”
She could only nod her head at Seo-yoon’s words, which she didn’t know the speed of.
The warm chamomile tea that the two had ordered arrived just in time.
Mrs. Yoon bluntly spoke while looking at Seo-yoon, who was still standing awkwardly near the table.
“Miss Seo-yoon, I think that’s enough of the greetings.”
“… … .”
“Would you please step aside?”
