For the whole three days, Jake kept receiving a posy of baby breath flower, and it squashed because the sender used the hole under the door to slip them in.
Jake wonders how the sender went through the bodyguard and managed to slip them in? Another question that keep replaying in his mind is, why do the sender keep giving him the same flower?
After three days of his lockdown by his own father, the president called him to the office. Though Jake looks unbothered from the outside, but he do felt a bit frightened to meet his father. He closed his eyes, and an image of Yeonwoo smiling brightly towards him appear in his mind.
Yes, I did this for her. I need to do this.
He opened his eyes, determination glinted in it. "Scared?" He glance at Wooaje who is driving beside him.
"Nah." Jake quickly brushed off the uneasy feeling in his heart.
"Don't worry, even if everyone turned against you, I got your back." A genuine smile formed on Woojae's lips.
Jake lightly nod his head, a small smirk made its way on his lips. "Yeah, that's more than enough."
When they arrived at the company building, they walked to the elevator and went up to the top floor, where the office is located. Jake keep glancing at the floor number that were shown on top of the buttons, nervously licking his lips as the numbers went bigger indicating that they keep going up.
The sound of the elevator 'ting' resonated the whole space as the door opened. Jake and Woojae step out from the elevator and walk to the office's direction. The walk along the hallway to his father's office made Jake felt nostalgic... in a bad way. Every time he went there as a child, he would remember having shaky legs because he knew he had done something wrong.
He never have a good memory about his father's office.
They finally arrived in front of the office as Jake took a deep breath and let it out before he knock the door thrice. His hand is slightly shaking when he grabbed the doorknob and open it.
The two of them went inside and stand in front of the table, as the president just watching them with piercing gaze. The president exudes power and dominance from the way he sits, and no one needs to ask him to express it.
"Jake." The president's stern voice sent shivers down to Jake's spine but he put on a brave facade as he stares directly at the president's eyes.
"Yes?" He asked with a flat voice.
"You seem a bit proud of what you've done. Is that something you can be proud of?" The president asked with a blunt tone.
Take a deep breath, let it out...
"No, I'm not proud of it."
Woojae glanced at the guy that is standing beside him confusedly but then Jake continued his words. "I felt bad for lying to everyone about this fake marriage just to cover up a nasty rumor but I won't apologize for doing something what I think is right."
