You couldn't help but glance at Kris while he drove. He suddenly looked like a badass anime character, his arm sticking out of the window, his fabulous hair blowing with the wind, and his white dress shirt that showed his biceps. You mentally tsked and looked away. 

"See anything you like?" he suddenly asked, gesturing to his body while still looking at the road ahead.

You turn to look at him, "With that face? Not even close."  

"Your loss." he hummed and focused on driving. 

You stared out the window. *Why can't I still open up to him?* *Oh yeah, maybe cause he's a jerk and probably made out with 100+ women through out this year* *But maybe he isn't as bad as he seems.* 

You gave your last thought a ponder before snapping back to reality. While lost in thought, you didn't notice that Kris had already parked the car. 

"Pabo-yah, we're here." he snapped a finger in front of your face. You rolled your eyes at the new nickname he gave you.

You quickly got out of the car and fixed your dress before heading in. To your surprise, Kris grabbed your arm and made it loop into his, making you protest. 

"At least act like we're husband and wife today... please?" he pleaded softly as we were entering.

"Fine." you were actually happy he did that. For once he's actually acting like a gentlemen. You guys went to the table for two and you saw many other couples here too. "Is this some sort of dating restaurant where couples come?" You asked and crossed your arms.

Before Kris could reply, a man came walking towards you both and that man so happened to be no other than Jinhyuk.

"Hello Min Hee...and Kris." he said Kris name with gritted teeth and a forced smile. "What are you doing here Jinhyuk?" Kris said in a cold tone.

"I can't be here? You know, Kris, you might be rich but you don't own everything in town. Can't a guy like me simply enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant?" Jinhyuk smirked.

You stared at both of the two men wondering why they were even having a stupid arugement in a restaurant full of people. "Kris." you said and tugged on his shirt telling him to stop it. He looked at you and back at Jinhyuk. "If you don't mind, I'm here to have dinner with my wife. Now, if you'll excuse me." Kris said and grabbed your wrist.

"I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind me sitting with you guys, would she?" Jinhyuk said and flashed you a million dollar smile. You couldn't help but blush a little and Kris noticed that.

Jinhyuk took the silence as a yes and he lead you to the table, he paid no attention to Kris and proceeded to pull out your chair. 

"Ahem." Kris cleared his throat and tried to keep his temper as he was desperately in need of a partnership for the company.

You awkwardly sat down and stared at the two who seemed like they were trying to slice each other with their glares. They finally took a seat and you took a deep breathe. 

"So you requested a partnership now, huh?" Jinhyuk spoke first.

"Yes, that is correct. But I'm sure we could talk about this tomorrow like I arranged." Kris responded politely as he could. *Like he arranged? Pluh-lease! I was the one who called the company. This stupid giant.* You thought and rolled your eyes mentally.

"Why talk about it tomorrow when I'm right here in front of you? I'm sure your wife could be part of this conversation too since she's your secretary after all." Jinhyuk said and laced his fingers together while leaning forward.

"Mr. Cho, I know we had a bad past together but like I said, we should talk about this tomorrow." Kris said again with a forceful tone.

"Oh dropped the formalities Kris, and if your wife has told you, I'm only doing this for her. If she didn't make that call, I could careless of what your company is doing." he pointed to you and smirked.

You gulped. *Was Jinhyuk trying to flirt with me in front of Kris?* 

Kris interlocked your hand and shoved the rings in front of his face. 

"She's married and taken so back off." Kris's anger was rising every single minute Jinhyuk was talking.

"If that's the case, then should I remind you of her again?" he taunted. You looked at Kris and he had a pained expression. Was this something about the past that you didn't know? *Oh, of course you don't know Min Hee, you barley even talk to Kris about your personal life.* you face palmed.

Kris said nothing and started at Jinhyuk with a poker face.

"Well I think your wife deserves to know about her. After all you both are a married couple." he continued while swirling his cup of wine. You were so confused that your head started to hurt. Were they talking about a girl that just so happen that isn't you?

"Last time I heard, she might even be coming back to Korea soon." Jinhyuk said and Kris looked up almost immediately with hope in his eyes. 

All this talk about a stranger made you feel left out. Of course whatever Kris did in his past relationship shouldn't affect you at all but juding the way Kris is taking in the information, the girl must've been someone special in his life.

"Jinhyuk, this isn't the time. We're here to discuss the partnership." Kris said anxiously.

"Oh don't worry, we have lots of time for that. But first of all, Min Hee, would you like to order something?" Jinhyuk smiled at you and you nodded quickly looking at the menu. You noticed Kris hands were still interlocked with yours and you tried to pull away. 

Kris only held onto your hands stronger and wouldn't let you off. You sighed in defeat and scanned through the menu. "Min Hee, you look stunning tonight." Jinhyuk said and you looked up.

You smiled and said a quick thanks. After ordering the food, Jinhyuk leaned back on this chair and looked at Kris with a grin. "So, what's in it for me if I invest on your company?" he asked. 

"8% simple interest. That's what I'm offering." Kris said and stared back at him. "8% seems a bit on the low side doesn't it? How about 10%" Jinhyuk insisted. 

"9%" Kris said.

"Fine. 9% seems ideal. But in one condition." Jinhyuk said with a smirk. "What do you want?" Kris said.

"I agree to invest with your company but your wife, also known as Min Hee, has to spend a day with me." he smirked.

Chapter 31: I love this story very much but I really HATE Kris especially when that b---- Hayoung came. Ugh! When he bring a chick home that pissed me of so much.
Honestly I wanted Minhee to take over the company so she can held her head up high and kill Kris slowly by being the elegant, confident and beautiful CEO that all the guys love.
I really hate the part when he brings Hayoung home, sleep with, fed her. He needs to respect Minhee! He can do all those things with her somewhere else not their home.
And when he left Minhee alone in Hawaii, I want to strangle him! How can he do that? And ask for another chance when he treated her like trash.
If I were Minhee I won't give him another chance, not now.
I thought Jinhyuk will be the bad guy but he is so nice.
I want Minhee to hear Kris and his dad conversation about taking over her company
