Tae-Hoon cleared his throat and continued, "...I mean now that you are a part of the Shim family, I really wanted to show her true colors to you." but unlike last time when she eavesdropped on him, calling her stupid and a child, Hani did not feel hurt but instead, her heart fluttered, especially when he was about to say, my wife. She just bit her lip, lowering her gaze.
"...and I am really sorry that you had to hear that... in Big brother's room." he hesitated to mention the incident.
"Thank you." Hani said in a whisper and Tae-Hoon fluttered his lashes in bailment. He thought that she would either ignore him or forgive him but she was there, saying thank you to him while fidgeting her fingers, which he had noticed was her habit whenever she was nervous.
He cleared his throat. "Wel... welcome, I guess." and he rushed out of the room. Hani was fidgeting with her fingers and suppressing her smile. Although she was sad about losing a friend but she thought that at least Tae-Hoon genuinely cared about her, just for once at least.
...
Tae-Hoon Chugged down the whole glass of water. He was confused why he did not kiss that girl. He really did want to let Hani know about her true colors but for that, he had planned to kiss that girl for real.
But weirdly enough, he could not bring himself to do so. "I am being weird." he said shaking his head, he felt something in his pulling away from her lips at that moment.
...
Yoo-Na again visited Ji-Hoon in the office without any prior notice and he glared at her when she set foot into his office.
"Mr. Shim, how am I looking?" she said posing like a model as she was wearing a formal suit this time but it was of no use. Her figure was just so perfect that even a formal suit was looking sexy and hot.
Ji-Hoon just shook his head in annoyance. "Cheer up Mr. Shim. I am here to invite you to our farm visit." she said while taking a seat and flipping her hair to the side.
He frowned his eyebrows. "What farm visit?" he asked confused.
"I told you last time that I need to make a visit to the farm. I actually ended up arranging a setup for my whole family to go on a vacation instead. You know we need to relax our mind and body sometimes." she winked and he rolled his eyes at her remark.
"So, I think you should take this chance and come with us then you will get to know your in-laws... oopsie, I mean, your suppliers more and can make a stronger bond with us." she gave him a suggestive look.
"Ms. Park, do you treat your every consumer just like this." he raised his eyebrows.
"We actually let them visit our farms and factories in the village but handsome, this vacation offer for whole three days is exclusively just for you." she winked again.
He exhaled deeply, letting the frustration out in the air. "I humbly reject this exclusive offer of yours." he gave his infamous fake smile showing his dimples.
"I knew it would be like this, that is why I am here two weeks prior to the date because you might change your mind afterward." she shrugged her shoulders.
"Rest assured, I will not." he smirked.
"We will see about that." she got up and left the office.
He pinched his nose bridge shaking his head. "This girl is insane."
Yoo-Na suddenly tucked her head inside the office, just slightly opening the door and Ji-Hoon shrieked, getting startled by her. He rubbed his chest, getting himself calm while Yoo-Na was chuckling as he got scared by her for the second time. "Actually, I wanted to say that, you are very handsome and sexy and hot and yummy and a snack..." Ji-Hoon was looking at her dumbfounded, how she was boldly saying all that stuff.
"But your dimples are quite cute, I must say." she immediately left while blushing and left him blinking in bewilderment. "Yeah, she definitely is insane." he again said to himself while shaking his head.
...
Se-Young was kneading the dough, more like beating it. She punched the kneaded dough. "Idiot" one more punch, "moron" on more punch, "fool" on more punch, "self-centered" on more punch, "rich spoiled brat".
"Ughhhhhhh" she exhaled a deep breath out in frustration. Yoon-Hwa was standing away from her feeling anxious, if she moved towards her, she will be getting those punches instead of the dough.
"I swear, I will beat the hell out of you one day." she fisted the dough in her hand and squeezed it lifting her hands in the air.
"Ok, ok, relax gurl. Relax. This dough has not done anything bad to you..." Yoon-Hwa said pointing at the dough from afar. "...and look at them, they are totally frightened." she pointed towards the other junior chefs who were looking at Se-Young nervously and since she had asthma, she wore a mask while handling the dough and it was making her look more furious like a ninja, displacing his skills.
"You shut up or I will knead you just like this dough." she said while punching the dough again.
"Sorry, I am out." Yoon-Hwa rushed away.
"I will make sure to get my chance one day, I tell you." she again started to knead the dough, more like punching the dough along with cursing Dong-Hoon through her mask.
...
Eun-Woo and Eun-Bi had arranged a meeting with Min-Hoon and the three of them were now seated in his office.
"Mr. Shim, you know I am a person of simple and short words." Eun-Woo said and Min-Hoon nodded agreeing to him.
"Actually, my sister really likes Dong-Hoon." Min-Hoon raised his eyebrows, now listening more carefully.
"I arranged a blind date for them as well but it looks like Dong-Hoon is not interested in a relationship right now."
