Chapter 333 - Public Display (1/2)

Joreen had a big smile on her face when she returned inside the cafe to seat beside Li Hoy. She just returned from calling her assistant to let her know she was in the cafe close to the beach with Li Hoy so they wouldn't worry about her.

The cafe was nice and homely. It wasn't everytime she could simply visit wherever she wanted, to have a nice cup of coffee. But since she was in a different country, the possiblity of being recognized was slim so they sat comfortably and sipped their hot coffee.

They had first stopped in a store which was still around the beach area to get a change of outfit for Joreen. All eyes would have still been on then had she been wearing the wedding dress now.

She wore a beige yellow sweater with grey pants, a boot and scarf around her neck. It was her usual style anyway so anyone who was familiar with her wouldn't be surprised. She didn't dress extravagantly because she was a celebrity. She liked to be comfortable.

”Cold?” Li Hoy asked as he carefully dropped his mug.

”I feel better now. I thought I would freeze to death back at the beach.” She shivered.

He smiled before standing up. Gently, he took off his suit jacket and dr.a.p.ed it around her shoulders while she protested, ”You don't have to I'm —”

”You easily get cold. You don't want to fall sick just because of a movie.” He spoke softly before returning to his seat.

Everything about him was gentle. He spoke gently, walked gently, ate gently, he did everything gently. He hardly spoke to people also which made her happy whenever he spoke with her for a long while. Maybe he was used to talking to her because when she was younger, she was a total chatterbox. She asked him everything, told him everything and followed him to the point he began to hide from her but along the line, he got used to her presence.

”Why are you here?” She finally asked. He wasn't supposed to be here which was the reason why everyone was surprised to see him in the beach. Because he was the CEO didn't mean he would be there when every movie was being shot. He was a very busy person and that is why she hadn't seen him in many months.

”I came for a wedding and decided to drop by.”

”A wedding? Whose wed—”

”She was someone close to me.” He answered before she could complete her sentence. He knew her well enough to know she was definitely going to ask him more questions.

”Ooh... she smiled teasingly. One of your girlfriends huh?” She winked at him.

He didn't answer but raised his cup to sip his coffee.

”You don't have to answer anyway.” She grinned before also picking up her mug to sip from it.

”About Han Yu—”

Joreen coughed and spat the coffee in her mouth back inside the cup when she almost choked on it.  She hadn't expected him to raise the issue of the kiss earlier.

'Aish! So embarassing.' She looked up and was relieved to see Li Hoy's facial expression didn't change. He probably didn't see that.

”What is wrong? You don't want to talk about it?” He asked, watching her face intensely.

She scratched the back of her neck and looked at the side instead of directly at him. It was something she usually did whenever she was embarrassed.
