Chaerin’s brain thinking fast. She knew there’s no way she could lie, she just need to explain this to her husband in a best way.

“My manager was caught in the traffic, so, i—“

“I only ask name, Chae, I don’t care about anything else.”

“What? That’s not fair, you should listen to the reason.”

“I’m asking the name first then you can explain!” he raised his voice. “what makes it so hard for you to tell me A NAME??”

“Kim Woo Bin!” she cut him. “He drove me home with his company car.”

Jiyong didn’t say anything, Chaerin could only hear him sighing.

“Because I thought that was the best, I couldn’t go home with taxi yet if I wait for my car, I’m worried of Na-Ri.”

“So the news is true?”

“We were so careful, I didn’t know how they caught us.” She said.

“But if the news didn’t catch you, would you tell me that you went home with him?” Jiyong asked.

“Of course…” she said. in fact, she was planning not to say a word to him.

“Chae…” he said.

“Hmm?”
“I got so many works and problems I should solve here. I really can’t add anymore worries, Chae, my head will explode. Please hold my trust in you tightly, don’t lose it okay?”

“Will do, Ji… you gotta trust me. because there’s only you and Na-Ri in my head and in my heart.” She said.

“I can’t afford to lose you babe.”

“Who says you’re gonna lose me? lose me to what? I always here for you, Ji, you’re just panicking nd worry because somethings are just not working as it plans, but I will make sure I’m not gonna disappoint you..”
