Dinner time, maid went to call su hyang for dinner.

Su Hyang's appetite vanished, her stomach churning.

The maids presented dinner, concern etching their faces.

"Eat, ma'am. Sir instructed-"

Su Hyang shook her head, waving them away.

"I'm not hungry. Leave me be."

The maids exchanged worried glances.

"Ma'am, please. Sir will be displeased-"

Su Hyang's firm tone brooked no argument.

"I said no. Let...

Su Hyang lay on her bed, lost in thoughts.

Suddenly, knocks echoed from downstairs.

Knock. Knock.

The maids hurried to answer.

Su Hyang's heart skipped a beat.

She crept to the balcony overlooking the foyer.

Below, the maids opened the door.

Niki stood, imposing and commanding.

"Welcome back, Sir," the maids chimed.

Niki's gaze swept the area, his eyes narrowing.

"Where is she?" he asked, voice firm.

"In her room, Sir," a maid replied.

Niki's jaw clenched.

"Tell her I want to see her. Now."

The maid hesitated before nodding.

Su Hyang's heart sank.

The maid knocked softly on Su Hyang's door.

"Ma'am, Niki requests your presence."

Su Hyang hesitated, her body weak.

She donned a robe, her legs trembling.

Downstairs, Niki waited in his study.

Su Hyang entered, her eyes cast down.

"Leave us," Niki ordered the maid.

The door closed, leaving them alone.

Niki's gaze scrutinized Su Hyang.

"You look pale. Are you unwell?" he asked.

Su Hyang nodded, her voice barely audible.

"No, not like that"she whispered.

Niki's expression softened slightly.

"Come here," he said, his tone gentler.

Su Hyang approached, her heart racing.
