Soo-hyuk had finished his first set of meetings and felt good about his plans for the new development. Tomorrow he would conduct inspections of the properties Lee Corp-owned in Hong Kong. The last day of his stay would be spent meeting with the internal staff at the Lee branch in Hong Kong. It was a short trip and normally he would have spent a week here, but with everything happening back home it was the worst time for him to be away. He hated leaving his household when it felt so disjointed. So much of his peace of mind came from his home situation and now that he didn’t have that he felt out of sorts. That morning he had woken and found that Gaelin had already left sometime in the night. He had wanted to phone her up and take off with her for being so silly, but he had stopped and just let it go. He decided to deal with Gaelin and Jungkook when he returned.

Still, they were both in Hong Kong and as fellow members of the Consortium, he was duty bound to take care of her. “Why not,” he handed his messages to his PA who had accompanied him on the trip. He released her for the evening and escorted Woo Yerin into the hotel restaurant. He had made a reservation for a private room and originally planned to enjoy a quiet solitary dinner.

“I am so glad I ran into you like this,” Yerin said as she took her seat and Soo-hyuk ordered water. “I would like a glass of wine,” Yerin told the waiter.

“Just water and tea for me,” Soo-hyuk told the waiter. “I have to be up early tomorrow.”

“Oh,’ Yerin tried to hide her disappointment. It would be better if they both drank, but she needed the courage so she still ordered the wine. She had come
