"He's sent flowers for you again, Nara." Jin-Chul comments in an amused tone as he noticed that Nara had come into the office.

"It's been two weeks, this is so stupid." She sighed as the bouquet of flowers were in the dustbin in a second. Jin-Chul lets out a low chuckle before getting back to his work.

"I've never seen Choi Jong-In chase after anyone as much as he is after you." Soo-Yun teases from the cubicle beside Nara.

"Focus on your engagement party, Soo-Yun." Nara said with a raised eyebrow to which the black-haired girl, Soo-Yun, simply chuckled.

Nara quietly sighed and sat down at her desk. Since the meeting with Choi Jong-In two weeks ago, the man had been insistent upon meeting her again. Sending flowers twice a day since then, once in the morning and once after lunch break.

Every morning, she would see the bouquet of flowers before she saw her desk. At this point, it was getting ridiculous.

"I don't understand this man." Nara mumbled under her breathe as she typed away at her computer. Too many reports to write.

"Gramps, you called?" Nara said as she peeked her head inside the door.

"Ah, Nara, yes, come on in." Go Gun-Hee smiled at the woman, his eyes crinkling at the corners. She noticed that Jin-Chul was standing near the older man, an amused smile on the younger man's face.

"N-No that won't be-"

"Jin-Chul, our chairman seems to be having it easy huh?" Nara looked over at the man who was standing right near her

"It would seem you are right." He said, nodding to which Gun-Hee widened his eyes and looked at the A-Rank as if he had just betrayed him. His eyes basically screamed, I pay you why are you siding with her?!

"I'll work harder."

A triumphant smile came over her red lips as she crossed her legs and arms.

"So, what was it?"

"Ah, right." Go Gun-Hee's expression changed, his tone becoming more serious as he continued, "Kang Nara,"

Jin-Chul straightened up at the man's tone while Nara narrowed her eyes at his demeanor. Go Gun-Hee leaned his arms on the table as he slightly leaned forward,
