By the time Seulgi arrived at the restaurant, Jennie had already left. He went to the table Moonbyul had told him, only to find the table was empty-seated. All that was left behind were the few dishes served.

Just then, the attendants inside the restaurant were trapped in the aftermath of the meal after Lisa left his gold card to them. They were discussing the incident feverishly and did not even notice there was another man at the table.

Looking at the dishes that had yet to be taken away, he thought Jennie had left temporarily due to some issue. He sat at Moonbyul's seat, and waited for her to return patiently.

As time passed, Seulgi grew more anxious.

Finally, Seulgi could no longer hold back himself. He ran over to the counter and asked the attendants about the entire situation. Suddenly, a stranger's silhouette overshadowed him..

Seulgi was in glee as he thought Jennie had returned, only to realize the person before him was not Jennie when he looked up.

Seulgi obviously looked very disappointed to the point that Irene could not pretend not to see it even if she wanted to. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Soon, she resumed normally. The corners of her lips curled up, and she asked, pretending not to know anything, "Are you Moonbyul, Mr. Moon?"

Seulgi froze. He recalled that he was sitting in Moonbyul seat. He faked a cough awkwardly, and said politely, "Moonbyul is my friend. He has left due to some issue, and asked me to come over. May I know you are...?"

'The person in front of me could not be Moonbyul's blind date, right? How dare that rascal fool me?!'

Upon hearing this, Irene's eyes sparkled. She heaved a sigh, pretended to look relieved, and smiled faintly as she said, "So, that's how it is. I'm sorry to say that I'm Ms. Kim secretary. Ms. Kim is Mr. Moon's blind date. She has some urgent affairs, so she has left. She asked me to come over to inform Mr. Moon, but I never thought..."

While Irene was speaking, she had already quietly sat opposite Seulgi. She kept smiling while looking at the young man opposite her. At the same time, she covered the hint of interest in her eyes very well.

"Oh, so that's how it is!" When Seulgi heard Irene's explanation, he apparently looked disappointed. They had missed each other!

After a brief moment of silence, the disappointment on Seulgi's face faded. He looked up at the person opposite him, and forced a smile, "If so, we should..."

Before Seulgi finished speaking, Irene smiled faintly as she interrupted him, "Since we're here, why don't we have a meal together?"

Just then, the attendant who was discussing the topic feverishly noticed the movement over there, she hurriedly came over and said politely, "Sir, Miss, do you want to place your orders?"

Seulgi froze. He looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, but I have something to..."

"Couldn't you handle your things later? It's lunchtime now. Sir, aren't you willing to accompany me for a meal? Am I that disgusting?" At her final rant, Irene looked aggrieved. Her cute face crumpled. Looking at her, one would inevitably feel guilty for bullying a child.

Right after Irene spoke, Seulgi keenly sensed the rebuking gazes from his surroundings. Even the attendant standing beside them was looking at him in disgust, akin to saying he was scum, and bullied a young lady.

Seulgi felt a chill sent down his spine. He froze for a moment before he heaved a sigh, and said helplessly, "Alright, then..."

As soon as Seulgi agreed to her request, Irene immediately looked joyful. Her clear eyes sparkled with happiness, and the corners of her lips curled upward. Seeing her in this state, one could literally feel her Leo.

Seulgi's heart clenched up. He felt something was sprouting from his heart, yet, he deliberately ignored it.

"Sir, Miss, what is your favorite dish? Sir... Sir...?" While Seulgi was in a daze after watching Irene's smile, a certain one had already placed her order and was asking about his favorite.

Seulgi was snapped out of his daze when he was called multiple times. By the time he recovered his senses, Irene was so close to him that their noses were touching.

She was watching him with her big, clear eyes, as if he had been caught doing something illegal!

The third young master of the Kang family was known for his gentleness and thoughtfulness. This was his first time not being able to force a smile, and he said with difficulty, "W-What's... the matter?"

Irene saw everything. The hint of a smile in her eyes grew increasingly prominent, "I called you many times, but you didn't respond to me. Sir, what do you want to order?"

Irene handed over the menu in her hand to Seulgi as she spoke. Then, she returned to her seat.

When Irene's face was gradually fading from his sight, Seulgi unwittingly heaved a sigh of relief. He took the menu from her and ordered a pork ribs dish. Then, he returned the menu to the attendant who was waiting at the side.

Looking at the additional dishes on the menu, her eyes crinkled with amusement. After so many years, the person's taste had remained the same. He still had a thing for pork ribs. But...

After the attendant left, the atmosphere between the two turned awkward once again.

Seulgi looked away, pretending he was admiring the scenery outside. In fact, he was sizing the girl up, who appeared out of nowhere, with the corners of his eyes.

The girl looked very young and adorable. Coupled with her clear, big eyes, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen-years-old.

However, she had clearly mentioned she was Jennie's secretary. In other words, she must be an adult.

'Are you an adult?' Seulgi frowned. Before he gave it a deeper thought, the girl opposite her spoke first.

"By the way, I still don't know what's your name, Sir? I don't find it convenient to keep calling you Sir. We're at least sharing the same table, and having a meal together, right?"

Seulgi froze. He withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly as he said, "I'm sorry. Hi, I'm Kang Seulgi, spelled S-E-U-L-G-I. Nice to meet you."

Irene smiled. She stared at Seulgi, and said faintly, "Hi, Mr. Kang, I would like to introduce myself again. I'm Irene, spelled I-R-E-N-E. Nice to meet you too."

Irene spoke seriously. The corners of her lips curled upward and revealed her dimples. She looked much cuter.

However, when Seulgi saw this, apart from finding the person before him looking adorable, he also found her to be familiar.

"Have we... met each other before...?" Without giving a second thought, he blurted out the question.
