29 A Wine For You (1/2)

After Yoona brought them to their seats, she began to take their orders.

”What would you like to drink?”

Minhyun delicately lifted the menu, looking at each item attentively. What should he choose? There was a wide selection to pick from. Despite the nerve-racking emotions flowing from his body, a sudden idea popped up in his head. He put the paper down and looked straight at Yoona with his piercing gaze.

”What do you recommend?”

His voice was enticing; deep and rich. Yoona couldn't help but feel startled as Minhyun put her under pressure. He exerted an intimidating aura. It was clear he wasn't an average person.

But after working as a waitress for years, Yoona did not fret. She pointed to one of the menu items and let out a smile. ”It depends on what you like. Usually customers opt for our wines as we have a fine selection from all over the world. We have wines from all price ranges and each bottle is hand-picked by our chefs if you want me to dive into specialties.”

Minhyun stayed silent for a moment.

”I am fine with any wine. Price is not a problem. Please give me a bottle of the best wine you have.”

Minhyun wanted to see what Yoona would choose. As a waitress, she'd try her best to pick the best wine according to her first impressions of him. Although he didn't want to burden her, he wanted to know how the situation would play out. What kind of person was she? Depending on her choices, it would tell him a lot about her personality.

Yoona nodded politely and began to walk towards the wine bar.

While Yoona was away, the two men sat quietly at their table.

Secretary Kim snuck quick glances at his president, wondering how he felt about meeting his childhood sweetheart after so long. From what he'd observed, it didn't look like Yoona recognized his boss. Was that a bad thing? He had no idea. After working with Minhyun for so long, Secretary Kim had grown affection for the twenty-four year old. He couldn't help but check up on him.

Minhyun was deathly quiet. Millions of thoughts ran through his mind, swarming into a large mess. To think that Yoona was in his presence was so surreal to him. Was this even real? He even had a conversation with her.

Luckily, their interaction went smoothly. He was able to control his emotions to act normal.

Never in his life was he this nervous.

His hands were clasped in a prayer and placed in front of his lips.

There was so many things he wanted to tell her and many memories he wanted to create; however, he needed to plan his strategy carefully. He didn't want to bombard her, especially since she was in a tight situation at school.

He needed to take steps one at a time. He was too emotional. An odd feat considering his usual personality at the office.

In fact, when Minhyun saw Yoona at the entrance, he couldn't even look at her properly. Not only was he nervous, but she was absolutely stunning. He could not believe his eyes. Like an angel, light shone around her, and everything else was blurred to nothingness while she was in the room.

Many woman of all nationalities had thrown themselves all over him, yet, not shook his heart as much as Yoona.

To begin, she had beautiful eyes that turned light brown under the sunlight. Golden specks danced in her iris when she smiled. They were absolutely mesmerizing. She also had straight, brown hair which he wanted to run his fingers through.

Compared to the average woman, Yoona was quite tall, reaching the height of his eyes. With her slender body and height she could surely become a model if she tried. Perhaps, he should hire her to be in one of MH's advertis.e.m.e.nts?

Furthermore, just like how he remembered, Yoona was proper and polite. The manners she displayed to the two were professional, despite the hards.h.i.+ps she was currently facing. Any other person would be having a hard time serving their customers happily. He was so proud.

And just like when she was a child, she hid her pain behind her beautiful smile.

He watched as Yoona carefully observe the wine rack.

Secretary Kim fought the urge of letting his jaw drop. Where had the normal CEO disappeared to? It was as if his boss was replaced with a completely different character. To anyone who knew Minhyun, they would never be able to imagine these actions being committed by him.

He didn't realize how much Minhyun cared for Yoona till today.

Secretary Kim cleared his throat. ”Um sir?”

Minhyun snapped his attention back to the male in front of him. ”What.”

Secretary Kim fiddled with his fingers. He originally did not want to tell his boss about this - but for Minhyun's image, he had too.
