After speaking, Anna walked towards the second floor, with Chan-yeol following her. One moved quickly while the other was slow, and throughout this short distance, they never matched their pace.
Anna opened the door to the room next to her bedroom, keeping her head down and not looking at Park Chan-yeol again. She said, "You can rest here today. I... I’ll go back to my room first." After saying that, she hurriedly returned to her bedroom and closed the door.
After a while, she finally heard Chan-yeol closing the door, and Anna let out a sigh of relief.
Lying on her bed, she patted her face and told herself that it was just an accident. She didn't like an unexpected life.
That night, she tossed and turned, ultimately unable to sleep. It wasn't until the first light appeared on the horizon that she finally fell asleep...
As they approached the final moment, Andy was running out of time to sleep. Within Century Group, many behind-the-scenes operations were far more important than what the public could see; they were even the lifeblood of the group. And these operations were now under Andy's control. He moved silently through various power domains in Korea like a shadow of Jin Yu Cheng.
Originally, this matter could have been easier, but Yoo Jae-suk's lack of cooperation forced everything to proceed step by step, causing them to lose their most comfortable shortcut.
"Spread these two pieces of news tomorrow. Also, make sure to take good care of Heo Jeong-min's family. After everything is over, return them," Andy instructed the man standing in front of him.
The man nodded and said, "Heo Jeong-min has already withdrawn. Should we still proceed this way?"
"Yes. And it must wait until everything is completely finished. If there are any mishaps in between, you won't need to come see me again," Andy said expressionlessly.
"Understood," the man replied.
"Go ahead."
The man bowed and left the dim room.
Relaxing his body against the back of the chair, the sound of a text message suddenly rang out. Andy opened it and browsed through the received photos and messages, frowning slightly.
He put down his phone, rested his hands on his temples, and closed his eyes in thought. After a long while, he revealed a mysterious smile...
The alarm clock rang as scheduled. After a night of tossing and turning, he felt completely drained.
He got up and opened the wardrobe. Inside a single layer, a neatly arranged men's shirt caught his eye. It was the same shirt that Park Chan-yeol had used to cover himself during that incident. He had never had the chance to return it until now; finally, he could give it back.
Holding the shirt, he stepped out of the bedroom. Noticing that there was no movement on the first floor, he knocked on Park Chan-yeol's door but received no response.
Could he have left? Anna wondered as she gently opened the door. The bed was messy, and items like a watch were still on the bedside table. It seemed he hadn't left; his clothes were also draped over a chair. Anna placed the shirt on the bed.
Just as Anna was about to step out, the bathroom door opened.
Park Chan-yeol emerged with a towel wrapped around his lower body, his upper body bare, water still dripping from his hair.
Seeing such a scene suddenly, Anna's eyes widened in shock, and she screamed as she ran out.
"You pervert! Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Park Chan-yeol innocently watched Anna's retreating figure as she ran away. Who takes a shower while still wearing clothes? Feeling frustrated, he closed the door, removed the towel, and saw the clothes Anna had brought on the bed. He understood naturally and got dressed before leaving the room.
"Are you going to work?" Park Chan-yeol asked as he walked down the stairs, noticing Anna gulping down her milk.
