What the hell was wrong with this foreigner and who the hell is he claiming to be his boyfriend was what was occupying Jae Won's mind. On the other hand, Vincent was angry and frustrated. Why can't Jae Won tell him what was going on.
He was willing to do anything for him as long he was included and was willing to wait for another five years or ten years if that could bring them together again.
But why was he pretending not to know him, that really angered Vincent so much that he couldn't breathe.
As his palpitating heart increased, he said "Jae, you can tell me anything. I am willing to be with you."
Jae Won sneered at him as a little smile appeared on his lips. This man might be out of his good damn mind.
"Mr Vincent, I know this is a good deal that will benefit both companies, but if you keep doing this I am not sure I can keep up with this deal" said Jae Won.
This made Vincent realized he had said something that could end everything. Vincent wanted to keep seeing him as long as possible so that they could yet revive their love again. With that, he apologized.
Jae Won was walking out on him when Vincent thought of saying one last thing hoping it would bring back memories.
"Odo Yewu" was what Vincent said which translated "my love." He knew Jae Won loved it when he calls him that as he said "it sound so good as it comforts me somehow" said Jae Won.
Remembering that, Vincent thought of saying it really hoping it could do wonders. But wonders was not in his vocabulary that day. Jae Won paused in his steps as he slowly turned to Vincent like in a horror movie.
Secretary Kim had a bad feeling looking at how Jae Won turned around, he knew it was about to go down. He doesn't understand English so he had no idea what was going on but he could feel the intensity among those two.
Hope in his heart, Vincent smiled lovingly at Jae Won who began walking slowly to him. Vincent thought the magic words has indeed worked. Jae Won got so close to Vincent that their face could touch each other.
Vincent's heart was beating so loud he bet Jae Won could hear it and those outside too could hear it. With Jae Won up close like that, he gaze landed on Jae Won sumptuous lips which was begging to be eaten or kissed.
Vincent imagined himself pinning Jae Won against the hard wall that can support their weight, kissing Jae Won making him unable to catch his breath. Vincent trailed down his lips to Jae Won's neck about to take a bite. Vincent was lost in a trance as he fondled Jae Won in his imagination like he own his body which he kind of did.
Secretary Kim, "...….am I even welcomed here?" thought Secretary Kim as he just walked slowly out of that place hence they asked him what he saw.
Jae Won noticed the gaze on his lips as he cleared his throat grasping Vincent's attention. Vincent returned from his trance and was yet to maintain a straight face when he was blasted with "Mr Vincent, what language did you just spoke…" he asked while he paused staring right at Vincent whose IQ has just dropped to the floor as he was yet to picked it up so he could make sense of what was happening.
"….. and does it mean 'my love'?" Jae Won continued. Vincent who didn't know what was going on nodded. Vincent turned away thinking he was about to be slapped because Jae Won raised his right hand but what Jae Won did was brush away an invisible hair on his cheeks.
As he did that, Jae Won thought what the hell did he do that for. That wasn't necessary but he did it. Jae Won wished he could slapped his hand before it did that but it was too late as Vincent smiled widely like the ocean staring lovingly at Jae Won.
"Exactly, that's what it means" answered Vincent while stilll smiling. "How the hell was i able to understand it?" asked Jae Won, curiosity in his eyes which didn't escape Vincent's gaze.
Vincent noticed the confusion in his face which made him want to believe something might be wrong but he couldn't put his finger on what exactly.
Vincent slowly and gently pushed Jae Won away from him before he lose all common sense and have him right there and now.
Jae Won walked out as he didn't want to further disturb this man. He needs to do research about this man in particular like how he did on the company to find out how legit they were after Vincent reached out with a proposal.
As Jae Won stepped out, he was stopped by one of the team leaders from the meeting. "Vice Chairman, I would love it very much if you could put me as the lead on this huge project. You know I'm a good fit for this project" said the Shin Hye, a team leader in the planning and development department.
Jae Won stared right at her making her uncomfortable. How the hell did she have the guts to come up to him to say such a thing.
This wasn't the first time Shin Hye did such a thing. So Jae Won decided to cut short of this growing thorn before it worsened.
With a fake smile, Jae Won replied "it doesn't matter if you are qualified to lead this project, what it do matter is that, I brought every team leader to this meeting because they are all included. So let this be your last time you come forward to ask for being a lead project….is that right?"
"Yes.... V…Vice Chairman" answered Shin Hye as she bowed paving way for Jae Won to pass. As Jae Won entered the elevator to his floor, Vincent came out of the room after he regrouped his self meaning after he got his composure back.
Vincent watched Jae Won as the doors of elevator slowly closed with Jae Won staring right at him. All his composure was thrown out of the window again.
With Jae Won gone, he now realized Akwasi was no where to be found. "Where the hell is he?" asked Vincent as he kept glancing around but couldn't find him. He climbed the elevator and pressed the number taking him down the ground floor.
He called Akwasi who was chatting it up with the receptionist at the lobby. He wasn't surprised since he was lucky to meet someone who can speak English.
"Come on let's go" said Vincent as he took the lead but was paused in his steps when a light soft voice spoke out "excuse me, are you the man who saved our vice chairman?" asked the receptionist who was chatting it up with Akwasi.
Before he could open up his mouth to answer, Akwasi beat him to it as he said "fortunately he is. Do you want to thank him?" saying this made Vincent realized Jae Won hasn't even thanked him properly yet. He only did that when he held the press conference but not to him directly. He thought he could eat tofu with that as a smile crept up his face.
"Thank you" was the words that brought him back from his sweet little revenge he was planning to pull on Jae Won. The receptionist actually thanked him. Vincent was at loss as he couldn't utter a word and only smiled at her.
Min Ji who had been overworked so she thought as she translated the whole presentation didnt wait any longer as she hurriedly came back to the car to rest before her boss came back, she was long gone. She vowed to learn more vocabulary as to not disgrace herself.
Akwasi thanked the receptionist as he pulled Vincent out of the lobby walking towards the parked car outside.
Vincent got to the car and saw Min Ji was fast asleep. He was about to speak when he remembered the barista at the coffee shop. She told him about Jae Won's fiancée so she might know something about Jae Won.
Vincent walked pass the car heading tower the cafe shop opposite Osung Group. Akwasi frowned as he wondered where the hell he was going but followed him anyway.
Vincent opened the door and was met with a smile from the barista who was happy to see him again. "Here is the savior of Osung group" said the barista as she gently placed a cup of coffee on a table to one of the customers and walked slowly towards Vincent who also smiled back at her.
"Do you know any rumor about the vice chairman apart from his fiancée thing?" asked Vincent not waiting for a few seconds to respond to the barista but instead threw a question on her way.
The barista, "....."
The barista smiled after her surprised face disappeared.
