June 21st, Tuesday - 7th day
Roseanne woke up with a splitting headache. She immediately clutched her head before snuggling deeper into Park Jimin's arms.
True to his words, Park Jimin didn't do anything to her last night. He merely hugged her to sleep after he was done giving Roseanne a head massage. In fact, Roseanne was so tired that she actually fell asleep while he was giving her a head massage. His techniques were too good ah.
Park Jimin's assurance last night was very much needed. She gradually felt less awkward towards the man. Their first night together wasn't too bad. Though her head was still throbbing, she could not deny that her heart felt a little lighter. She was happier.
"Sleep some more, I will make a soup that will help to relieve your headache. I will call you once it's ready." She heard him say.
"Hmmm... what time is it?" she asked, her eyes still half-closed and her head still resting on his arm like his arm was a pillow.
"Almost one in the afternoon," said Park Jimin a matter-of-factly.
"You didn't wake me up! I have lots of meetings today." Roseanne immediately jolted up and hastily got out of the bed.
"You were snoring... and drooling too... how could I disturb you when you are like that?" Roseanne ignored Park Jimin as she ran towards the bathroom. She would only snore or drool if she was very tired, alright?!
Roseanne took a quick shower and then called Lia up to her apartment. Since she was not in office for a few days, Roseanne had a lot of things to do today.
"Here are today's stock market rates...You also have a meeting at three with the internal board of directors of A.R Mall and Boutique. Lawyer Yan also called me earlier, he said that he has received a copy of your marriage certificate and he will be able to process the paperwork to transfer the late Old Master Li's land deeds over to your name. He said that he will bring the papers to you once everything is finalized." Lia took a pause to look at Roseanne , who was eating her breakfast with President Park. The latter kept adding food into his wife's bowl.
"Continue," Roseanne said while taking another mouthful of food.
"Alright. The design for the new Harmony Isle is already done. It needs your approval. Mr. Jung had also sent a bunch of dresses for you to wear to Fashion Week's final show and after-party. He said and I quote 'These are specially designed with love for Roseanne Lilian.'"
"Were you the one who sent our marriage certificate to Lawyer Yan?" Roseanne asked Park Jimin. She couldn't think of any other plausible explanation of how the lawyer came to know about her marriage.
"Of course." He smiled. "Don't worry, I've asked him to keep our marriage a secret from the Li and Kang family. I know that you are still not ready to announce our marriage."
"Actually... I don't mind letting people know that we are married." Roseanne was quick to answer. She was thankful for his thoughtfulness but she also knew that the man would love to let the whole world know about their marriage. Moreover, Roseanne was not really intending to hide her own marriage ah. She just wanted to keep the news about their marriage as low-key as possible.
"Really?" Park Jimin beamed.
Roseanne nodded earnestly before she turned to Lia, "Give me the complete details of the Internal Directors for A.R Mall and Boutique. I need them before the meeting later."
"Got it, President." Lia nodded. Roseanne then informed Lia that they would be moving into Lotte later in the day. Roseanne also told Lia that she and the two directors would also be moving into Lotte when their apartment is ready. In the meantime, they would continue to stay put here.
After Roseanne was done eating, Park Jimin said that he had to go back to the office. He apologized that he would be late again tonight but Roseanne was understanding about it. As they were bidding each other goodbye, Park Jimin held Roseanne's hand up and was about to kiss her hand when Roseanne held him by his shoulders, tiptoed and planted a wet kiss on his cheek instead.
Why was he always kissing her hand? Were they living in the past where they had to be reserved when it came to showing their affections? Moreover, they were at home, so it was alright to be bolder yes?
Roseanne's swift action made Park Jimin freeze and turned his face beet red. Roseanne couldn't help but burst out laughing. The man was blushing just because she kissed his cheek? How funny was that?
But how could he let Roseanne mock him without countering back? His lips immediately lifted into a smirk before he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek. Then, without waiting for her to respond, Park Jimin strode out of Roseanne's apartment, chuckling away.
Roseanne only smiled as she watched the man disappeared from her sight. What a silly man.
"Ummm... Ehem... Mrs. Park..." Roseanne turned to look at Secretary Han, a look of surprise was on her face as she wondered when that man had gotten here.
"Ummm... President Park insisted that I call you 'Mrs. Park.'" Secretary Han immediately explained when he saw Roseanne raised an eyebrow at him.
"Our men will be moving your belongings to Lotte later today. Also, President Park had asked me to find the best location for Anne Group's headquarters relocation here. Here are some good choices of office buildings that are less than twenty minute drive from Park Capital. These locations are also less than ten minutes drive away from Lotte," Secretary Han reported while handing a pile of folders to Lia.
Roseanne nodded in approval. Park Jimin was so thoughtful, he had already made all these arrangements without waiting for Roseanne to ask for his help. "Good... I will let him know once I make my decision."
