MISUNDERSTANDING

"I APOLOGIZE, President. The Madam leaked the news herself, so Soul Daily bypassed us and released the news about your engagement with Miss Hwang without our approval."

'Soul Daily' was the biggest news outlet in Korea.

It was also the newspaper closely related to the Moonasterion Group.

[In short, Soul Daily is on our payroll.]

"You don't have to apologize for that, Glenn," Nikolai, who was sitting on the backseat of the car, said. "No one can stop my mother when she mobilizes her people."

"Most of the articles from other major news site have already been taken down after I threatened to withdraw our support," Glenn, who was sitting next to him while fiddling with his computer tablet, continued with his report. "But I'm afraid the damage has already been done."

He let out a sigh. "Mona already saw the news."

"How did Mona-ssi react?"

"She said we're free to meet other people since we're not in a relationship anyway."

"Do you want to have a drink later?"

"Won't your wife kill you if you get home drunk again?"

"If you promise to give me a one month vacation, then my wife will probably forgive the two of us, President."

He knew Glenn was half-joking.

Even so…

"If by some miracle Mona and I got back together, I'll send you and your wife to an all expenses paid vacation to any country of your choice for three weeks," Nikolai promised Glenn in a serious voice. "I'll even volunteer to babysit your children so that you and your wife can have your second honeymoon in peace."

"Are you serious, President?"

"I am dead serious."

"Then I'll work harder to help you and Mona-ssi get back together, President," Glenn said, his fingers working on the tablet faster. "First, let me contact some entertainment journalists I know and ask if Gavin Kim is really in a relationship with someone."

Nikolai turned to Glenn with furrowed brows. "Why didn't you do that earlier when I was worrying about how to ask my wife if she was dating someone new or not?"

"President, it's not in my job description to fix my boss' marriage."

[This punk…]

"President, we've arrived," Kyle Seo, his driver-slash-bodyguard, informed him politely. "How should I deal with the car tailing us?"

Yes, a car had been tailing them ever since Nikolai left Mona's café.

"Tell them to let my mother know I won't let this slide," Nikolai said sternly. "And make sure those paparazzi never get to work in the industry again."

"DID MY mother ask you to meet me here so the paparazzi could take photos of us going on a "date?"" Nikolai asked as soon as he sat on the chair across from Juliet Hwang. "Just what are you planning with my mother, Miss Hwang?"

Juliet Hwang's face remained cold as she sipped her red wine, then she placed the glass on the table before speaking. "Why would I work with your mother, Nikolai-ssi? Do I look like I'm desperate to marry you? Oh, god. I hope not."

Nikolai was humbled quickly.

[Yes, not every woman wants to marry me.]
