Chapter 14

Closing the glass door behind him, Jaejoong spoke up, “Tiffany, have lunch with me? I must talk with you about us.” It sounded more like a command than a question.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Kim, but I’m having lunch with someone else. Perhaps some other time.” Before she could reach for the doorknob, she was stopped by a pair of strong hands that gripped her shoulders, “Let go of me.”

“Talk to me. I need to know why.” They were interrupted by a very cheery Seohyun.
