Chapter 51: Like not love
Yeri couldn't find the words to refute Shin Keir—not a single syllable.
Because deep down, she couldn't deny it: she was undeniably, unfairly attracted to him. That face, that voice, that physique... It was like he'd been handcrafted to torment her poor nerves.
She could tell herself otherwise, but her gaze lingered too long, and her thoughts betrayed her far too easily.
They had lunch together in the suite's private dining area, the silence between them thick with unspoken thoughts and sizzling tension.
Yeri did her best to remain composed—calmly chewing her food, pretending everything was perfectly ordinary.
But her mind? It was racing with one goal: escape.
She had originally planned to enjoy her second night at the hotel. Maybe take a long, relaxing bath, indulge in room service desserts, and recover from the overwhelming chaos of the debut banquet.
But with Shin Keir in the picture? That peaceful plan had been shredded into confetti and set on fire.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him. It was herself she couldn't trust—not with her dangerously crumbling resolve.
There was no telling what that man might do when he was in the mood.
And judging by the mischievous gleam in his eye, the danger level was... very high.
