"You're doing this to me because of that woman, right?"
Ryan stopped abruptly and turned to face Emily.
"Oppa, let's start over, okay? As promised, once the Doju Coin merger is successfully completed, I'll divorce and come back to you. Please take me back."
"Manager Emily Lee."
"Oppa..."
"I told you clearly. I said no."
"It's because of that woman, isn't it...?"
Emily's tear-filled eyes suddenly sharpened.
Ryan let out a long sigh. During the few days when Winter and Hugo were staying separately at the Wind Hotel, Emily had tried to seduce Ryan several times, subtly demanding reconciliation whenever she had the chance.
But when Ryan didn't waver at all and kept avoiding Emily, she finally chose this method of openly clinging to him.
"Manager Emily Lee, watch your words."
"Oppa, I was too young before and didn't know anything. I thought love and feelings were useless, that things you can't see or touch were of no use. That's why I married only for money."
