It seemed she had forgotten it was like a layer of glass between herself and Taejoo. At this time, he lifted his head and noticed Minjung smiling behind him. The obsessive look on her face gave him goosebumps.

Taejoo turned around and asked her. "Why do you keep sneaking looks at me?"

Hearing this question, Minjung's mind suddenly went blank as her face flushed red. She subconsciously lowered her head.

Taejoo, you idiot! Do you have a negative EQ? Why would you ask me something so awkward and uncomfortable?

Do you really dislike me looking at you?

Minjung's heart was overtaken by this possibility. However, being able to interact one-on-one like this, was already enough for her. How could she expect anything more?

With this thought, Minjung recovered her composure. But just as she lifted her head to continue looking at Jooeun's contracts, a handsome face appeared in front of her. She was so shocked, she quickly took a step back. "What... what are you doing?"

"I'm letting you have a better look. What's the point of just looking at my back?"

Minjung tried to contain her racing heart as she panicked. Especially as she looked into Taejoo's glowing eyes, she didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether he was teasing her on purpose or whether he seriously thought she wanted to have a better look at his face.

Don't tease me like this! Minjung complained inside. She was so tempted to pounce on him.

Taejoo gazed at Minjung for a moment. After concluding that she had finished looking at him, he stood up. "Sit in front of me. Knowing someone is staring at my back makes my hair stand on end."

"..."

Doesn't this idiot know why I was sneaking looks at him? Having negative EQ is indeed an incurable disease.

Minjung was a little angry. She grabbed the contract in front of her and went to sit where Taejoo was originally sitting. She lowered her head and quickly entered into her own world, no longer sneaking looks at Taejoo. Being around someone like him is going to frustrate her to death sooner or later.

Taejoo bit his pen as he looked at Minjung's back. His mouth naturally curved upwards. Are you the only one allowed to look at me? I also want to look at you.

2 days later.

Jooeun finally completed all of YSL's work and focused on her shoot for an international magazine. She took on one job after another, at times she had to travel to multiple sets. But after her dazzling performance at London Fashion week, international fashion personalities all started to notice this Asian beauty.

After a long day of work for Jooeun, it was time for Jeonghwan to return to Seoul. That night, as Jooeun returned to the manor, she found Jeonghwan had already packed his luggage and was leaning against the car waiting for her.

Because of a few continuous days of rest, Jeonghwan's energy had completely recovered. The tiredness on his handsome face had disappeared. Jooeun was extremely satisfied, so she hugged Jeonghwan in front of the car and kissed him affectionately.

"When I return, I will be able to stand side-by-side with you." Jooeun promised as she leaned on Jeonghwan's chest. "When I promise you something, I will definitely fulfill it."

Jeonghwan reached out his hand to stroke his beloved wife's hair and placed a kiss atop her head. "I've left some bodyguards for you. No matter what happens, make sure to contact me first thing."

"Understood." Jooeun nodded her head seriously.

"Return home soon..."

"If home is where you are, then there's nowhere else I would go." After speaking, Jooeun stood on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on Jeonghwan's lips. Jeonghwan hooked his arm around Jooeun's neck and increased the passion until they were both out of breath.

However, neither of them noticed, behind the huge wall surrounding the estate, there was a reporter sitting in a tree sneaking photos of them. Because it was nighttime and he was quite far, he couldn't capture the man's face, but their kiss was so obvious that no matter how unclear their faces were, their actions could not escape the camera.

Gossip's reporter felt it was a shame not to capture the man's face, but at least he got a picture of Cha Jooeun kissing someone. The reporter sneered. After the amount of struggle he had gone through, he finally lived up to expectations and got what he wanted.

Cha Jooeun, let's wait and see how you will explain to everyone.

After sending off Jeonghwan, Jooeun returned to the manor. She quietly looked at the sofa they had previously shared and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

The person she had only seen not long ago, was now gone. At this moment, her heart disobediently started missing him. However, she understood, in order to become a supermodel, she needed a few more international runway appearances under her belt. This was an achievement that couldn't possibly be achieved back in Seoul.

Of course, apart from Jooeun, Minjung was also feeling a little sad. Although these few days with Taejoo meant she had to put up with the idiot's low EQ, she at least got to see him. Now that he was gone, no matter how busy she was, she no longer had someone to complain about being tired with.

"OK. Tomorrow, you will need to focus on work again. Once you are busy, you won't have time to think about other things." Minjung knew Jooeun missed Jeonghwan, so she comforted her as she patted her on the shoulder.

Jooeun was silent for a moment, before turning to Minjung. "You too."

Minjung blushed. She involuntarily started to stutter. "You...you...what are you talking about?"

Was it necessary to point out her thoughts? Jooeun slightly smiled.

It was only a short 2 days, but Sublime's news had been overshadowed by fresh new scandals. Even though the recording still sat at the top of headlines, it no longer attracted the interest of netizens.

These few days, Yeji was busy running around trying to get favors from old contacts and trying to retrieve resources. Sublime slowly experienced a turn for the better, mainly because Jooeun was still there.

However, Bohyun's whereabouts over the past few days were a bit abnormal. He spent all his time focused on Jung Chaeyeon's situation, especially on her righteous friend. He told her multiple lies, especially about Jooeun and endlessly tried to deepen her misunderstanding.

For example, at this moment, he turned up at her house with a stack of money. "Cha Jooeun is a model. It is normal for her to want to protect her body. So she hopes that Chaeyeon can understand."

"But she promised Chaeyeon she was going to save her!" Bohyun triggered the girl's anger.

"Somi-ah, you need to understand. Cha Jooeun is a model, she can't put her work aside. That's a breach of contract."

"I don't care about her contract. All I know is, Cha Jooeun is dishonest." the girl named Somi replied angrily. "She has not followed through with the promise she made to Chaeyeon. She doesn't deserve to be a top model. Take this money back to her. If she wants to talk about money, I've got money too!"
