Seoul Airport.

Haerin and Hyein were dragging suitcases behind them as they walked.

"Miss Kang, you really aren't going to go to the company?" Hyein couldn't help but ask again.

"No, I'm going home. I need to sleep." After the kind of business trip Haerin just had, she just wanted to go home and rest.

"But President Kim said she was going to hold a meeting later this afternoon to follow up on the contract," Hyein said.

"That's your business. I'm just the legal consultant. Once a contract has been settled, my part is pretty much finished," Haerin replied, uncaring.

"But you heavily participated in the negotiations. I think the company would very much like to hear your suggestions," Hyein continued.

"Heck, why are you going to the meeting? You didn't participate in any of the negotiations. You should want to go home just as much as I do," Haerin complained. "Man, you've been following Minji for so many years, I'm amazed that you're still as bright-eyed as before. With business trips every week, and even more meetings straight after, simply disgraceful."

"That's just the job. I remember last time, the Boss had to go to Mexico. A thirteen-hour flight, two nights with no sleep, then the moment we landed, we had to go to the company to continue working," Hyein commented.

"She even went on a business trip right after getting married, can you believe?" Haerin ridiculed.

Hyein could only smile awkwardly.

The two soon left the airport and stood around the entrance, waiting for the company car to arrive. Haerin looked down at the T&C gift bags Hyein was carrying. "And you even had to buy a necklace for your Boss."

"Yeah." Hyein had to concede to that.

"Give it to me." Haerin casually took the bag from Hyein.

Hyein looked puzzled.

"Are you going to pass by Minji's house before heading to the company?" Haerin asked.

"Ah?"

"You should know what she bought it for," Haerin continued.

Hyein silently nodded.

"So if you wanna pass it to me, I can directly give it to the Madam-" Haerin hadn't even finished her sentence when Hyein pushed the bag toward her.

Looking very sincere, Hyein said, "Miss Kang, I'll be troubling you."

"It seems that you also know that your Boss is a moron," Haerin said, giving Hyein a meaningful glance.

"Miss Kang, the car's here, I'll be going first." As the chuckling Hyein said this, she quickly placed her suitcase in the trunk, ran and jumped in the car, and rapidly escaped.

"Hey... look at that thief." Haerin looked at the speedily retreating car. She couldn't help but scoff. In the end, she stopped a taxi and left.

After a week of resting, Hanni's cold had finally passed, and Minji went back to work at the company instead of working from home.

Hanni planned to visit one of the coffee shops she managed. Speaking of coffee shops, it would be more accurate to say that these stores were her hobby rather than her businesses.

Hanni liked to read a lot, but she also felt that reading alone at home was too lonely, while reading in the library was too dull. She liked reading in coffee shops the most, the soft music, the bitter fragrance of coffee, the light chatter of the people around her; it was a very warm and comfortable atmosphere.
