Jooeun looked deep into the eyes of the man as she returned to her usual calmness and smiled. "I don't have a boyfriend."

All she had was a husband!

Seeing Jooeun in denial, the man did not continue to be forceful. But the glow in his eyes made Jooeun feel uneasy. She had a feeling, this man would keep his eye on her in the future.

"The Jennie Kim incident has caused such an uproar, but it seems, Miss Cha is not affected at all."

Jooeun smiled, it was obvious she no longer wanted to engage in small talk. This was something she often did when she wanted to keep a distance from people. The man seemed to have sensed her intention, so he stopped talking and returned to his seat. Jooeun assumed the man had not seen Jeonghwan's face, or else his tone of voice would not be like this. There was no way he wouldn't know the consequences of offending GK.

The reporter sat diagonally from Jooeun. Before placing his eye mask on, he glanced over at her with a mocking smile. Although he did not see the man clearly, he knew when Jooeun said she had no boyfriend, things weren't that simple. All along, it was hard to find anything bad about Jooeun because she was extremely careful. But if someone was to uncover something, it would definitely be big news. So he was determined to follow her. This time, he was certainly lucky. Here she was acting all morally intact, yet in the end, she was messing around with a man!

Jooeun felt uneasy. After disembarking from the plane, she immediately sent a message to Jeonghwan.

TO: HWAN <3

"Hwan, we have been discovered. At the airport, a reporter saw me getting out of your car. I'm not sure how much he saw, but he doesn't seem to be a trustworthy person."

Jeonghwan had just stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing Jooeun's message, he creased his eyebrows. "Focus on your contract signing. I will handle the matter."

"When will you be back?"

"I'm not sure yet."

Seeing these four words, Jooeun was tempted to respond with 'I miss you', but she was afraid it would distract him from his work. So, she quickly changed her response to 'I'll wait for you'.

After picking her up, Minjung noticed Jooeun looked a bit unhappy. She could guess it was because she had to separate from Jeonghwan. "I saw the news about GK, is Big Boss OK?"

"Uh-huh." Jooeun nodded.

Minjung examined the look on Jooeun's face through the rear-view mirror as she drove. She spoke with mixed feelings, "Jooeun, have you noticed you've fallen too deep? Even when you were with Jung Yonghwa, you weren't this distracted. Most importantly, you're only separated from Big Boss for a few days, it's not the end of the world."

Jooeun was a little startled as she nodded her head and admitted. "I think, I'm in love with Jeonghwan."

"He's your husband, it is your right to love him. But what about him? How does Big Boss feel?" Minjung observed Jooeun's expression. Even with Jeonghwan's pampering, Jooeun still lacked a sense of security. "You and Big Boss have not been together for long and have not gone through enough together. But Jooeun, you should ask yourself. If Big Boss did the same thing as Jung Yonghwa and betrayed you, would you be able to handle it?"

Jooeun was silent for a good while. Thinking about the time she had spent with Jeonghwan, she regained her confidence. "I am no longer the same Jooeun. There is no way I wouldn't be able to spot a second Jung Yonghwa. I believe in my choice this time. No matter what, I will be with him to the end. By the way unnie, you should make preparations. When Jeonghwan took me to the airport we were discovered by a reporter."

"What do you want to do?" Minjung was so shocked she instinctively stepped on the brakes.

"Even if my relationship with Jeonghwan was to be exposed, I want it to be under my control. Let's just observe for now." Jooeun replied in a serious tone.

"In that case, let's get ready for Sublime's Contract Signing Ceremony. I'll take you to see President Seo."

Jooeun nodded as Minjung turned on the radio. The entertainment news had now shifted its focus from Jennie Kim to GK's actors.

"Jennie Kim sure is lucky."

She was only lucky because the ultimate weapon in Jeonghwan's hand had not yet been revealed.

Seeing Jooeun remain silent, Minjung could tell she was still worried about Jeonghwan, so she switched the channel to some relaxing music. "There's nothing you can do to help. Big Boss will be able to handle it. GK is so big, are you afraid Big Boss will be tired out?"

Jooeun pressed her lips together. "When you care about a person, no matter how capable they are, you will still worry about them."

Minjung choked a little as she remained silent. Not long after, they pulled up at Yeji's home. Kangjun was also present. This was the first time Kangjun and Jooeun officially met. Yet, this man had already caused her trouble and cleaned up after himself. So Jooeun did not have a good impression of him. However, she remained calm and unfazed.

"Because your contract is still a secret, we had to meet here at my home. I hope you don't mind." Yeji handed Jooeun a cup of coffee. "I want to know your thoughts regarding Kangjun."

"I'm willing to work with him." Jooeun responded calmly. "But I have one request, do not interfere with my private life."

Kangjun lifted his head to look at Jooeun from the sofa he was sitting on. He realized this 29-year-old model had a terrifying level of self-control; she had her emotions completely contained. So he smiled, stood up, and walked over to her as he stuck out his hand. "I look forward to working with you."

"I hope you won't make a mistake like Diptyque again."

Hearing this, Kangjun smiled naturally as he pointed to his head. "Don't worry, I'll use my head as a guarantee."

"Jooeun, after joining Sublime, your competition will be even worse than before. Both Hyomin and Bohyun have control over a few top-grade models, so it's unavoidable that you will have to fight for resources."

"That is my problem to deal with. There is no need for President Seo to worry." Kangjun butted in.

Yeji lifted an eyebrow. "Can you fight better than them?"

"Just wait and see."

"Fine, I will prepare a grand contract signing ceremony. When the time comes, I will let you have the honor of announcing Jooeun's addition to our agency."

Yeji's authority was currently being disregarded by Hyomin and Bohyun, so she was in desperate need of a team like Kangjun and Jooeun to keep them in check. From now on, the battle with Hyomin and Bohyun would officially start.

"Oh that's right Jooeun, you're not in a relationship at the moment, are you?" Yeji suddenly asked. It was expected of an artist to reveal this type of stuff to their agency in case of any sudden incidences that may go out of control.

Jooeun appeared hesitant, but in the end, she decided to be honest. "Yes, I am."

Yeji was stunned for a moment. She realized she did not fully understand Jooeun yet. "What would you do if you get exposed? Jooeun, you've already surpassed the prime modeling age. You can't afford to have any scandals.

"The contract does not restrict me from being in a relationship. Plus, he is not merely my boyfriend, he is my family." My husband. . .

"Consider letting it go!" Yeji relaxed a little. "Kangjun, prepare to keep this under wraps."
