Chapter 279 - Recording (1/2)

”Was there anything I am needed here for?” Jinhee questioned as she entered into the room.

All of the eyes were upon her at this moment, and seeing how Taeho nodded his head, Jinhee pursed her lips.

As she wondered on about what the possible reason could be, she walked towards the couch and took a seat beside Taeho.

The tension in the room was thick, and there was no one, who attempted to break the silence present within the room.

Finding the situation too awkward for her taste, Jinhee coughed and decided to break it herself. Everyone stared at her direction as she did so.

”Well, since everyone is going to be this silent, I think it is better for me to head back to my room. I have quite a lot of work to complete,” Jinhee said as the lower ends of her lips curved to form a small smile.

”Wait! There is something important to be discussed. Taeho came here because of that,” Jinkyung vocalised.

Lee Jinhee could see the enthusiasm in Jinkyung's tone as she did so, and Jinhee had a clue that it was because Taeho told her regarding something pleasant.

Turning her head, Jinhee stared at Taeho whilst raising one of her eyebrows. Whatever he had planned in his mind, it would have been better if he had given a clue about it to her before.

”About Jinhee and my engagement, I want to break it and get engaged to Lee Jinkyung. Jinhee's and my engagement was just done due to business reason. However, the one I truly want is Jinkyung, and just for due to business, I can not give up true love,” Taeho confessed.

Although Han Taeho's words did not astound Jinhee, they were sudden at this moment, and Jinhee found herself unable to react to them properly. She did not know whether or not should she show that she was sad.

Nonetheless, she had to act fast, so that the others do not have any type of suspicion. Therefore, turning towards Taeho, she had her eyes widened.

”W-What do you mean?” Jinhee asked.

Lee Jinhee had an inkling about what Taeho had planned in his mind. He wanted to strengthen Jinkyung's trust within him and use this opportunity to humiliate her. However, she did not know regarding what ideas he brewed up in order to mortify Jinkyung.

”It is just as I have said. Jinhee, I do not love you or wish to get married to; It is Jinkyung who I want to marry. For Jinkyung, I am willing to go against my parents and break my engagement to you,” Taeho stated, sounding determined.

”Are you sure?” Jiyoung asked.

This confirmed all the doubts within her, and Lee Jiyoung was confident that Han Taeho fancied Jinkyung at this point. After all, Taeho did not pass around words and promises randomly.

Taeho nodded and said, ”If I have your permission, Lee Jiyoung-ssi, I would love to court Jinkyung.”
