Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 63: Being Tricked Again

As the lift went directly to Jeonghwan's office, Jooeun didn't need to worry about running into any of the staff in GK. As soon as she stepped out of the lift, she saw Jeonghwan's huge office; Jooeun is relieved.

The office is styled very differently from the Spanish-palace-look they had at home. Jeonghwan's office is minimalist with angular metal furnishing; this showed his efficient, concise, and dignified approach to work, making those that entered the room subconsciously feel a sense of respect.

At present, the man behind the office table is focusing on signing the documents before him. The mole on his right earlobe made him appear reliable yet seductive; so they say 'men are the most attractive when they are serious'. Jooeun stood in the distance in a daze, until Jeonghwan lifted his head and noticed her standing there.

"Go take a seat on the sofa for a bit." Jeonghwan said gently as he instructed Taejoo. "Go prepare some English black tea and pastries. Also, grab a blanket on the way."

"Yes, president."

Jooeun watched as Jeonghwan quickly signed all the documents and walked to sit beside her. "Why didn't you bring Minjung up?"

"She said she didn't want to be a lightbulb."

Taejoo entered the office with the pastries and handed a blanket to Jeonghwan. Jeonghwan immediately covered Jooeun's legs with the blanket. "The air conditioner is a bit strong."

Jooeun smiled before reaching out her hands to nudge Jeonghwan. "Go do your work, don't disturb me from enjoying the beautiful scenery."

"Beautiful scenery?"

"The sight of you working."

Jeonghwan had no choice but to stand up and return to his table to continue working. Meanwhile, Jooeun resisted her tiredness for a while before leaning against the sofa and falling asleep. Jeonghwan got up to reposition her body horizontally on the sofa, placing a pillow under her head and covering her with a blanket. She actually wanted to keep him company even though she was so tired from work.

People went in and out of Jeonghwan's office. Not only Taejoo, but also his secretary and a few company higher-ups. Every person that entered, would have a different expression as they walked out. As they entered, they were calm. But upon exiting, they were so surprised their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

"The Big Boss is taken!"

"Who is the beautiful woman in the Big Boss' office?"

"There's actually a person that is bold enough to fall asleep in the boss' office!"

"The way that Big Boss looks at that beauty is gentle like water!"

"My God! This is big news!"

However, after leaving the office, as they weren't allowed to gossip, each person felt like they were going to explode. How amazing would this woman have to be to get the Big Boss' affection? Could she be a current famous superstar? Jooeun is resting peacefully; she's sleeping well. She had no idea, she had already put GK into a frenzy.

8 PM.

Jeonghwan finally finished his work and carried Jooeun in his arms out of the building into his Rolls Royce. Because of the noise outside, Jooeun finally awoke. She opened her eyes and gazed at Jeonghwan gently. "You've finished work?"

"What would you like to eat?" Jeonghwan started the engine as he gently asked her.

"You decide." Jooeun tilted her head and wrapped her arm around Jeonghwan's right arm as she continued to nap.

The sports car drove out of the basement carpark. At the same time, behind them, GK's curious onlookers have gathered around. Although they couldn't gossip, they wanted to at least have a look; it didn't matter if they couldn't see clearly. Who is this woman that is affectionate with Lee Jeonghwan?

Jeonghwan did not take Jooeun to a restaurant. Instead, he decided to cook and prepare a feast for the two of them. Jooeun watched Jeonghwan's busy figure. She couldn't help but approach him from behind and give him a hug. "How could you be so good to me?"

"You are so easy to take care of, just a simple dinner and you are already touched."

Jooeun did not respond. Instead, her hands wandered into Jeonghwan's shirt and caressed his chest muscles. "Mr. Lee, I'm hungry."

"The food is on its way."

"But I want to eat you up."

Jeonghwan stopped what he's doing. Without saying a word, he turned around and carried Jooeun horizontally in his arms, out of the kitchen. What his wife requested, he of course, had to immediately fulfill.

Late at night.

The news is covering the Bright Night Gala that is to take place in 3 days' time. After glancing at it quickly, Jeonghwan lowered his head to question Jooeun who's in his embrace. "The Bright Night Gala, I've looked at the guest list. Both you and Shinhye are invited."

"Bright Night Gala?" Jooeun lifted her head confusedly.

"Seems like CN hasn't told you about it, and probably doesn't intend to." Seeing Jooeun's reaction, Jeonghwan's voice lowered.

The Annual Model Awards is one of the biggest events of the year. The Top Ten Model Awards is only a part of it. The most important thing is the awards, which would definitely be taken home by some of the most famous models. Amongst them, 80% were awarded to models from GK Entertainment and Star King.

Jooeun straightened her body; she felt a little tense. Jeonghwan noticed her reaction and quickly stroked her hair as he gently comforted her. "Let's pretend you don't know about it. Let them think you won't attend. On the day, I will send someone to escort you down the red carpet. Joo, you have already considered all possibilities, don't let this upset you."

Jooeun slowly calmed down as she gently nodded her head. "If not for you, I would probably be tricked again!"

"But there is no 'if', you indeed have me."

Jooeun tightly wrapped her arms around Jeonghwan's waist; he is her safest harbor in the world.

The next morning.

As discussed, Jooeun indeed pretended she didn't know a thing as she entered CN with Minjung. Inside his office, Yonghwa is in an extremely good mood. After their multiple battles with Jooeun, they had finally learned to hide their true intentions. So in front of her, they no longer flaunted or showed off, they simply pretended nothing happened.

"After the collaboration with IPKN, are you going to continue working? There have been many magazines and endorsement offers for you, have you made a decision?"

"I want to work with 1stLook." Jooeun placed 1stLook's collaboration plan in front of Yonghwa.

Yonghwa is surprised for a moment; he did not understand why Jooeun would pick 1stLook. Although this is a high-end magazine, in terms of sales and reputation, it did not compare to other magazines. Why did she insist on picking this one?

"Are you sure?" Yonghwa completely did not understand what Jooeun is thinking. She had just taken a step towards success, but instead of riding the wave to increase her exposure, she chose something out of the ordinary and selected a path that no one else was confident about.

"I am sure." Jooeun nodded. "Shinhye will be receiving an award, I believe you will be using all your resources to support her. There is no reason for you to interfere with what I want to do, right?"

"Are you afraid the higher-ups will reject it?" Yonghwa asked coldly. "Jooeun, you think too highly of yourself. If you want to do it, then do it. As for the higher-ups, I will convince them. However, you need to be aware of the dangerous choice you have made."

"I am completely aware." After speaking, Jooeun stood up. She had nothing else to speak to Yonghwa about.

"Jooeun, you must be desperate to destroy yourself. Are you really going to make our wish come true?"

After hearing this, Jooeun's footsteps stopped for a moment.

"I think you should care about you and Shinhye first."
