Just then, a gray-suited man with hair slicked back and a pin that screamed "old money" walked over, bowing slightly toward Jin-Yeok.
"Chairman, there's someone who insists on a word with you."
I froze. Wait, didn't that mean he had business to handle right now?
No, no, I think I was only this confident because Jin-Yeok was right next to me. But if he leaves now... what if I lose my other persona?
Jin-Yeok's lips curved faintly, the kind of smile that was polite but cold at the same time. He really hated entertaining people with a smile, I could tell.
Was he going to reject them?
"Tell him I'll be there shortly." Shoot! He's not.
Then he turned to me, leaned in with that soft, secretive smile of his, and whispered smoothly into my ear,
"Stay by the food table and don't wander. I'll be back soon." My eyes immediately lit up.
Food table? Oh. My heart perked up instantly. This was as if real love was calling.
