Gaelin entered the apartment and looked around the deserted entrance. It was quiet. Just maybe she had arrived before Lee Soo-hyuk. Then he wouldn’t be able to say anything to her. The dinner with the girls had ended at 22:00 and it was just past 22:30. Asa! This was good after all.

“I was expecting you a little earlier.” A cool voice remarked from behind her. Gaelin didn’t face him. Why did he always have to get one over on her, “Worst President Ever,” she heard him mock.

“Good evening President. It was the House Master that followed Lee Soo-hyuk out of the library. “Did you have a good day?” Gaelin nodded, “Well the President should freshen up and then we can go over some of the accounts ahead of the Annual Estate Meeting.”
