Seulgi's POV

"Ahh, we'll go first, ma'am, I remember we have something important to do, right, Seungwan?" I signaled Seungwan to say yes, but the other didn't seem to get it.

"We have?" he asked, perplexed.

I widened my eyes at him. You'll die later. "Ah yes, ma'am, si-"

I didn't let him finish his meal and simply dragged him out of the cafeteria. The tension is too much for me to bear. Irene is staring at me as if she intends to murder me.

When we arrived at the office, I quickly let go of Seungwan. "Do you feel the atmosphere there, dude? It's very intense! Looks like you're in trouble," he exclaimed, taking a deep breath.

"That's why I drag you. We almost didn't succeed because you didn't understand."

He scratched behind his neck. "Sorry, dude, it's just lunchtime and we don't have anything important to do."

He's right, it's only lunchtime. I haven't finished my food yet, which is unfortunate. Because the tension is too high, I need to make an alibi. I also don't understand why Irene is upset with Jennie. Jealousy is impossible because she does not love me.

---

Days have passed, and I'm even more determined not to see or interact with Hyun. Even after pleading, I don't seem to have anything to show her.

Jennie has been bothering me for the past few days. I'd always see her during our lunch break or after work, where she'd be in the lobby waiting for me. She was constantly bringing me food and attempting to feed me, which I always declined.

I can buy my own food, but I'm grateful for the blessings that have come my way. Be grateful at all times because we never know what will happen to us.

Just like now, Jennie is in the lobby. I was about to turn around when she called out, "Seulgi!"

I sighed and turned to face her. "Oh?" I didn't want to respond. I'm exhausted and just want to sleep.

Her expression shifted to one of concern. "Are you okay?" she asked, touching my brow. "You're not hot, have you eaten yet?" she questioned, worried.

I locked my gaze on her. She's lovely, to be honest, with a round face and dumpling-like cheeks. Her head is broad and her chin is small, but she has an angled jawline that looks more sexy and mature when the lower half of her face is in focus, giving her the appearance of youth.

But, even though she is stunning, nothing compares to the beauty of my love. I was interrupted when she caressed my cheeks. "Hello, I'm speaking to you."

I looked at her lips for the second time. When she says something, her lips look enticing. Something about it has a hypnotic effect on me. I had no idea that our lips were about to touch again when someone passed between us and dragged me somewhere.

Her grip is so tight that whenever I try to break free, she tightens even more. My wrist is turning red from being held too tightly.

"Where are you taking me, Ms Bae?" Because we're still in the company, I can only address her by her surname. Which should be 'Kang,' but because she refuses to reveal that she is married to me, I must address her by her maiden name.

It would have been great to have heard it. "Kang Joohyun"

Everyone is staring at us because she is dragging me. "Can you let go of my hand, people are staring at us?" she never touched her employees after becoming CEO. As a result, whispering began to circulate.

She would always wear gloves and sanitize her hands before touching someone. My Love is artistic.

"Shut up! And stop asking questions!" she yelled angrily. Her jaw is clenched, indicating rage.

I just let her take me wherever she wants. She dragged me in and shoved me inside her office. Tsk, she's very sadistic.

"Because you're flirting in the lobby, and you know the rules around here! No one is allowed to flirt during work hours!" she said, crossing her arms.

"And stay away from Jennie! You're not good for her! She deserves someone much better than you, someone who doesn't break trust, someone who doesn't destroy other people's relationships, someone who's rich and isn't a gold digger!" she yelled.

I gave a bitter smile. She's always right, she's always right. I am not wealthy, I am nothing, and I am useless.

"You don't have to remind me, Irene. I know where I stand. Yes, I'm not rich or perfect, but I'm not a gold digger. I worked day and night to provide for the needs of my mother and sister, and I did everything I could to earn enough money to finish college. You never saw me ask your family for help! So don't ever say that!" I'm enraged right now. This woman has my respect, but she went too far.

I noticed she was stunned. She displays an unknown emotion before quickly concealing it.

"I don't use Jennie, I'm trying hard to avoid her. She always approaches me. Why won't you tell her to avoid me?" I turned my back on her and faced the door.

"To be honest, she cooks well, she always looks for me and asks how I'm doing even if I'm ignoring her, and if I didn't have a wife, I'd court her-"

She pushed me to the door, grabbed my head, and kissed me hard.

My eyes widened in surprise. She's kissing me right now. I'm being kissed by Bae Joohyun.

She bit my lips, causing my mouth to open, when I still didn't respond. She sucks my tongue while still tightly gripping my head.

When I still didn't reciprocate, she simply stopped kissing. "Stay away from her, Seulgi. You don't want to irritate me." She stormed out.

What just happened? Am I dreaming? Please don't wake me up.
