In reality, the reporter from Gossip Studio was also present on set. He was waiting for his big break. Cha Jooeun was well known for her low-profile and pure nature. However, from the moment he ran into her giving an affectionate goodbye to a man in the US, she left him with a deep impression. So this time, he was in London because he believed he would definitely capture photo evidence of Cha Jooeun and her man's intimate relationship. Of course, in regards to the paparazzi that got chased out, he felt his actions of furiously snapping photos was a waste of time.

This type of 'thigh-touching material was something that could only be used for cheap speculation!

What he wanted was solid proof of Cha Jooeun being affectionate with a man. Hence, he deliberately booked his hotel room right opposite Jooeun's.

November in London wasn't as cold as in Seoul. A simple coat was enough to get by.

On the way back to the hotel, Jooeun rested her eyes as Minjung gave her a massage. Her heart ached for her as she squeezed her leg. As she had been wearing high-heeled shoes for a long period of time, Jooeun's leg muscles were extremely tense.

After entering the hotel's underground carpark, Kangjun got out of the car first. He was shocked as his eyes fell upon a man in a black coat leaning against a car, it was Lee Jeonghwan!

Jooeun had fallen asleep. Minjung slowly got out of the car and turned to wake Jooeun up, but Jeonghwan gestured for her to remain quiet as he leaned over and carried Jooeun out of the car. He leaned her head into his embrace.

"This hotel isn't very safe, I will take her to a manor I've organized."

Kangjun nodded as he reminded Jeonghwan. "Work will start at 7 AM tomorrow."

"Come pick her up tomorrow morning. I'll message you the address details."

After speaking, Jeonghwan placed Jooeun into his sports car and swiftly left.

Kangjun thought about how Jeonghwan said the hotel wasn't very safe and thought about the paparazzi from earlier. As a manager, he didn't want to let his imagination run wild, but he felt it was possible this had something to do with Yeji.

He thought back on when he was affectionate with Jiwon and the shadows he noticed lurking in the dark. He thought back on the memories he had already sealed away. He really hoped that Jiwon's death had nothing to do with Yeji.

Jeonghwan's Aston Martin sped through the streets of London and eventually stopped outside a manor. As it was located inside a private estate, the security was top-notch.

He unlatched Jooeun's seatbelt and stared at her, at the woman that even when separated from him for one minute, made him miss her deeply. They only had 2 hours together, yet she had fallen asleep. However, he couldn't bear to wake her up. He simply hugged her and tightly wrapped his arms around her. It seemed being able to smell her unique fragrance was enough for him.

Before Jooeun's tiredness from wearing high-heeled shoes for a long time and going from a long flight to the runway could be cured, her leg suddenly cramped up. The pain was so sharp, her eyes flew open as her head knocked into Jeonghwan's firm chest. Jooeun was stunned for a moment. She thought she was dreaming.

Jeonghwan released her from his embrace and lifted her leg onto his knee. He then massaged her leg with his strong palms.

"Why are you here?"

"Recharging myself..." Jeonghwan replied.

Jooeun happily stretched out her arms and hugged him. To her, he was as much of a necessity as oxygen.

"We only have 2 hours, what do you want to do?" Jeonghwan asked as he gently stroked her back.

"If you knew it was only 2 hours, why did you still come?" Jooeun hit Jeonghwan's shoulder helplessly. "It is 20 hours of flight time and so far from home."

"As long as I get to hug you for 2 seconds, the 20 hours are worth it. Even you would do stuff like this."

Jooeun turned her head and kissed him on his ear before making her way to his lips. However, he stayed still. He had no reaction.

"Don't think this is enough..."

Jeonghwan didn't wait until Jooeun moved away from him as he cupped his hands around her cheeks and placed a fiery and passionate kiss on her lips. He did not hold back at all

Cha Jooeun didn't return to the hotel! This was the news the paparazzi relayed to Yeji and Bohyun.

The two were still at Sublime late in the night. They looked at each other and asked the paparazzi. "Did you find out where she went?"

"We were afraid of being exposed so we didn't dare to get too close. It was only when we discovered her room light hadn't turned on that we got a little suspicious."

"Continue to keep an eye on her. As soon as you see any form of evidence, don't let it go!" Yeji hung up the video chat and turned her head to ask Bohyun. "What do you think Jooeun is doing at this time?"

"What else could she do? If she's not in her room, apart from fooling around with a man, what other reason would she have to be out?"

"There's no point talking about it, we need to capture evidence of it."

With the photo of Jooeun flirting with the male model in their hands, they had complete confidence in the South Korean paparazzi they had hired.

At the same time, the reporter from Gossip Studio also noticed something was abnormal. Jooeun did not return to the hotel. Kangjun and Minjung's rooms were both lit up, only Jooeun's room was still...

He immediately thought about the incident at the airport in the US. Since there were so many hotels, he was better off waiting at the airport. Maybe God would give him a pleasant surprise!

...

When working, time seemed to drag on forever. Yet, the couple's time together always seemed to pass with a blink of an eye. The two hours were short and hard to come by. The couple did not go anywhere during this time, they simply remained in the car kissing and hugging. They didn't want to waste a second.

"The hotel booked by Sublime has 4 paparazzi staying in it. Before you returned today, I already spoke to the manager and had a look at the surveillance cameras. Their movements completely mask yours." Jeonghwan said before leaving Jooeun.

As the hotel was booked by Sublime, there was no way Jeonghwan could rest assured. So he made sure to check the safety of the hotel, first thing.

After hearing Jeonghwan's words, Jooeun quickly recounted the incident at the church earlier that day.

"I've already instructed Taejoo to look into these people, don't be afraid."

Jooeun gave a gentle laugh as she shook her head. "I'm not afraid at all. I just want to know if these people are from the media or from Sublime. Even though I'm not sure what Yeji's motive would be."

Jeonghwan gently stroked Jooeun's hair without a word. He's gradually opening the doorway to GK for her.

"No matter what her motive is, it's never a good thing. You need to be careful. There is still some time before you need to go back to work, have some rest in the manor."

"I'll escort you to the airport first." Jooeun offered.

Jeonghwan held onto her shoulders and shook his head. "Do you want to see how tired you look? Listen to me, when I have time, I will fly back over."

Jooeun did not insist. She simply placed her forehead against his and enjoyed the last moments of affection.

So in the end, Jeonghwan arrived on his own and left on his own. Gossip Studio's reporter stood guard at the airport and saw Jeonghwan arrive wearing sunglasses. But he had no idea, Jeonghwan was the man he'd been waiting for. He simply sighed to himself.

GK's CEO is indeed a legend!
