Luna's POV:
After that harsh encounter with Soo-Ha, my mood was totally ruined for the day. My chest was throbbing with an unbearable pain with her harshness, but I decided to act tough all outside. As I guess, a frozen-princess shouldn't show her weakness to others. I must act completely cold towards everyone. That's my real nature in this life.
With a frown face I entered my cafe. I was already pissed off and I thought of taking out all the frustration on my cafe staffs. But something even more surprising was waiting for me inside.
I saw Alex sitting inside the cafe on a table with another man, probably that guy was in his mid 40's. He however seemed to be his subordinate while being seated nervously opposite to him.
While watching Alex, my heart throbbed again! What the hell? Why is he here again?
Slowly I started to convince myself that he's probably not the reincarnation of Ji-Hoo. Mostly, they are just dopplegangers and that's why I feel some weird lingering feelings towards him as he has the face of a person I loved eternally as Ha-Eun. I am sure he doesn't have any memories regarding our past lives as he is not the one! But still I don't want to get involved with him in any means, as that face is already enough to reminisce my traumas that I am trying hard to bury! At least in this life I would definitely run away from him!
Unknowingly I was gazing at him while lost in all these thoughts. Alex seemed to notice that and slowly came walking towards me.
"Miss Kim if I am looking too handsome today, you can praise me directly instead of staring at me from a far!" Alex gently teased me with a cryptic smile on his face.
Apparently I regained my senses and I was embarrassed with his tease!
"Huh? Me? Why? What?" I blabbered out while trying hard to cover my shamed face by avoiding eye-contact.
"Okay I got it! You are shy Miss Kim!" He smirked at me.
"Why would I be embarrassed? I was just lost in some thoughts! I didn't stare at you!" I tried to explain him while looking all flustered.
While we were bickering, slowly that man who was seated opposite to him came walking to us while Alex was smiling at me in a vicious way.
"Umm, who are you?" I asked that man sharply.
"He is Mr. Shin, my personal secretary, Miss Kim!" Alex firmly replied while looking at me.
That man slowly bowed before me to offer his greeting. "Nice to meet you Miss Kim!" He sounded very gentle.
"Ahhh I get it, but what are you two doing here in my cafe?" I asked them while checking out that man. He somehow seemed to be a kind person.
"Well Mr. Shin wanted to taste the special coffee here!" Alex replied almost abruptly.
"Huh? Me? When?" Mr. Shin sounded very surprised as well confused with his answer.
Alex quietly glared at him after hearing his response, with a dense expression. Mr. Shin almost panicked with his gaze.
"Ohhhh yes! Yes I am the one who wanted to come here Miss Kim!" He blurted out nervously while peeking at Alex.
I smirked at their weird excuse! Do they really take me as a fool?
"Okay then enjoy the coffee! I should leave today!" I told them with a cold expression.
"Umm, but you just came a while ago! Why are you leaving so soon? You can have a chit-chat with us!" Alex appeared to be very restless while asking me.
"No my mood is already terrible and I think it should be better if I take some rest today! Alright bye! Bye Mr. Shin! Enjoy your coffee!" I replied with an aloof expression while looking at Mr. Shin.
Slowly I left the cafe and walked outside to my parking area. I felt a pair of agitated eyes were staring at me on my back! And I understood it was Alex! He is definitely trying his best to get close to me but sorry, I won't give you any chance in this life!
That's what I thought without even knowing what has destiny planned for me!
*************
Alex seemed very annoyed while looking at Luna while she was leaving. Mr. Shin was worried a bit.
"Why did she only greet you while leaving? Am I invisible? I came here to meet her and she clearly avoided me!" He grumbled out while glancing at Mr. Shin.
"Umm, sir I think that's because you told her I wanted to come here!" He was fidgeting in nervousness while replying.
"And why the hell you gave such a weird response earlier? She clearly understood I came out with an excuse! Can't you do your job properly Mr. Shin?" Alex was fuming in wrath while asking him.
"I am very sorry sir! I will be careful from next time!" Mr. Shin was too scared to look at him while apologizing.
"Ahhh I don't know why she always tends to run away from me! What am I even lacking? I am someone who can go beyond limits just to be with her but still she always gives a cold shoulder to me!" His eyes seemed poignant while looking all the way to outside.
"I think that's her nature sir! She is basically cold to everyone!" Mr. Shin came to her defense.
"Nope! There is something different from the way she behaves around me! Sometimes she gazes at me with a pair of sad eyes and sometimes she won't even look at me once! There is something which I don't know about her yet!" Alex slowly walked outside the cafe while speaking. Mr. Shin was silently following him.
Suddenly he turned back at him and firmly asked, "Mr. Shin are you even monitoring her activities properly? There is definitely something hidden from me!"
"But sir I haven't found anything such! At least that's what I know from tracking her car's location everyday!" He answered while looking at him nervously.
"Then contact Yeji! Ask her everything in details as she is monitoring her activities inside the house! And remember if you fail to do your duties, I won't think even once to have mercy on you!" He replied with a very intense expression in his face.
Mr. Shin obediently nodded his head.
Alex hastily walked towards his car while Mr. Shin was standing behind while watching him.
"I just don't get it! Does this man even have a heart? Then why the hell he is chasing her madly? What does she even mean to him?" He slowly murmured.
