Saehee sat inside the Audi, trying to calm herself.

“I need to talk to Jackson.” She murmured to herself, then the driver’s door opened. Mark slid in.

“Can you cook tonight? I want shrimp dumplings.” She asked.

“Will you help me cook?” Mark said as he maneuvered the car out of the basement.

“Hey, when you cook, the only thing I do is eating.” She chuckled.

Jaekyung stepped out of the building just in time to see the silver Audi drive by. She felt her fingers curl around her phone.

“’Jae~”

“Jie…I don’t think I can stand her.” She murmured.

Her senior smiled.

“Why?”

“She’s everything I’m not. I can never be like her.”

“Jaekyung, don’t think that way~”

“But what to do? I like him too much. I’ve…never felt this way before.”

“Jackson says he wants to visit you next month.” Saehee said as she entered the kitchen, Mark  nodded from the counter, he was slicing some vegetables.

“Tuan,”  Saehee started.

Mark continued slicing, then he looked up, noticing her discomfort.

“Is something wrong?”

Saehee walked to him, her brows slightly furrowed.

“Nothing, I..just missed calling you that.” She fibbed, Mark nodded, but he put the knife down and faced her.

“What is it?” He said as Saehee leaned against the counter.

“When do you plan to visit Japan?” She asked, Mark walked to her and pressed his palms against the counter, trapping Saehee in his arms.

“Maybe next week, why?”

Saehe nodded, she raised her arms and laced her fingers behind his neck. Mark smiled at her.

“Maybe this distance thing is finally getting to me.”

Mark just kissed her deeply.

“Now you know how I feel.” He whispered against her lips.

Jaekyung sat down on her desk, she was kind of relieved that Saehee had went back to Japan. Somehow, the other girl’s presence made her feel jumpy and uncomfortable.

She glanced up as Mark exited his office.

“Uh, vice president?” She stood up, Mark turned to her.

“The secretarial office scheduled a small welcome party for you,”

Mark’s brows rose.

“Are you free?” She asked while smiling.

Himchan looked up as Saehee entered the room.

“I came early because I heard you were here.” She started, the conference room was still empty.

“I….had some things to take care of.” Himchn said.

“These things prevented you to attend the meetings and made you look….dead?” She asked, noticing Himchan’s pale pallor.

“Saehee~”

“You don’t really have to keep things from me, Himchan.” She msued as she leaned back against the chair.

Himchan’s frown deepened before he finally faced her.

“I need your help, Jung Saehee.”

“My help…on what?”

Himchan looked up with a serious expression on his face.

“I can trust you, right?”
