As soon as everyone heard the news, their expressions were filled with joy. A few artists even started clapping and whistling.

Although they worked in the same office, Jeonghwan had his own private lift, so artists barely had the chance to see him, let alone attend private gatherings with him. He was like a legend in their hearts. He was more dazzling than any singer or movie star.

Yoona subconsciously studied the expression on Jooeun's face. She noticed that everyone, including the charismatic Joowon was filled with excitement at the mention of Jeonghwan's name. Yet, although Jooeun was famous for being calm and quiet, her unaffected expression still made Yoona lower her head and smile.

"It seems you are well acquainted with President Lee?"

"I guess so." Jooeun nodded admittedly.

"In this industry, not many people are close to President Lee. His lifestyle isn't at all like a typical person in the entertainment industry." Yoona said with a deeper meaning. Afterwards, she lowered her head and took a sip of her champagne.

Jooeun gave a gentle laugh. She didn't know why around Yoona, she didn't feel like she needed to be cautious. Perhaps it was because she seemed to give off a similar vibe to her, making her feel a sense of familiarity.

Approximately 10 minutes later, there was a huge commotion. Jooeun glanced over and noticed Jeonghwan standing amongst the crowd. He was tall, mighty, and radiant. He was still wearing the same suit as he wore earlier that day as he left home; a black lapel suit. However, maybe because she had drunk some wine, the Jooeun at this time, actually started thinking about Jeonghwan when he wasn't wearing any clothes and his strong physique. So her face began to turn red as she looked at the man amongst the crowd. Her eyes were passionately burning to the point where her gaze could possibly sear a hole in Jeonghwan's body.

Jeonghwan greeted each and every person before he started to look around for Jooeun. As soon as his eyes met her fiery gaze, he couldn't help but smile. As he held back his urge to rush over and give her a hug, he gave her a look gesturing her not to drink so much. Jooeun gave a gentle smile as she looked down at her glass and slightly nodded.

"Jooeun, come over here." seeing Jooeun remaining seated, Changwook waved her over.

Jooeun grabbed her wine glass and obediently walked over to Changwook's side before she looked at Jeonghwan.

"You should have a drink with President Lee."

Jooeun did not hesitate as she asked, "May I have this honor?"

Jeonghwan grabbed a tall wine glass from the waiter and clinked his glass gently against Jooeun's. The two's actions were the same and they drank in the same way. Without knowing each other for a long time, it was impossible to be so in sync.

Yoona seemed to have discovered something as she let out a giggle. With their matching actions, it was hard for those present not to be suspicious. For an artist to make it to the top, both their EQ and IQ couldn't possibly be low. If they still couldn't figure out what was happening here, they didn't deserve to be the leaders in the industry.

Changwook also took the hint. If he had merely been suspicious when Jeonghwan said he'd be Jooeun's manager, then at this moment, seeing the Jeonghwan that never attended gatherings appear because of Jooeun, weren't things obvious?

Of course, Big Boss didn't shun away even though he knew everyone would see the telltale signs because he was secretly hinting for them to watch over his woman. Everyone understood. In reality, they weren't that surprised. Although some of them were younger than Jooeun, they still understood that she was naturally their junior since she had joined GK. So they already intended on taking good care of her.

After having a drink with Jooeun, Jeonghwan turned to discuss scripts with a few famous movie stars. Because of Jeonghwan's good taste, any movie that he set his eyes on, would definitely receive good reviews without fail. So now that they had a chance to talk to him, they had to make the most of it.

Jooeun returned to Yoona's side and continued to listen to the comforting music. Her tense body slowly relaxed.

"Don't announce it." Yoona sitting next to her suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Your relationship with President Lee. Don't announce it." Yoona suggested as she looked at Jooeun seriously. "Otherwise, you will no longer have any form of privacy. The reporters are bound to have their eyes on you and will write about you at least a few times a week."

Jooeun was stunned for a moment before smiling.

"Let me tell you a story." Yoona found a comfortable position and slowly explained. "10 years ago, there was a model. She came from low family background, but she fell in love with a famous director. They fearlessly fought side-by-side for many years. When the female model finally became a supermodel, they decided to announce their relationship. In the end, they lived together and got married. However, not long after, the media started reporting that the director was impotent. Because of this, the director fell apart, and from then on, he gave up on everything. As for the female model, in order to prove her defeated husband was not impotent, she was lucky enough to fall pregnant. However, the media started saying her child was a test tube baby. In the end, because of stress, she had a miscarriage and ended up killing herself. That female model was my older sister, Im Nana."

"The media are terrifying..."

Jooeun was definitely moved by the story. Fame had always been a double-edged sword.

"Don't worry, since President Lee was willing to let us know, he must already have everything under control. Actually, I think he's already started to help you prepare. If your relationship gets revealed, your life will definitely get flipped upside down."

"I know. I've always known..." Jooeun nodded with a serious expression.

However, she viewed Jeonghwan with complete trust and certainty.

"We will definitely help the two of you because GK has provided us with so much warmth..."

At that time, Jooeun did not comprehend who was included in 'we'. She simply thought to herself, if the entertainment industry still had a piece of pure land, then GK would be it.

Meanwhile, Jooeun seemed to have finished chatting. He suddenly placed his eyes upon her. The softness of his gaze made her feel like she was bathing under the moonlight.

Jooeun had drunk a little too much. During her chat with Yoona, she repeatedly lifted the glass to her mouth. By the time Jeonghwan looked at her for the 5th to 6th time, she was already lying unconscious with her head on the table.

Seeing this, Jeonghwan stood up from the crowd and approached her. He then helped her sit up by supporting her shoulders. Jooeun sensed the familiar bodily warmth, so she immediately sat up straight, turned her head and wrapped her arms around Jeonghwan's waist as she buried her head into his lower abdomen.

In this scene, everyone saw it. Although their eyes were wide, they were no longer shocked. From now on, thanks to their junior sister, they would get a lot more chances to come in contact with the boss. It seemed, they would have to treat her even better.

Unable to wake Jooeun up, Jeonghwan had no choice but to carry her in his arms. At this moment, he was no longer the high and mighty boss. He was simply a drunkard's husband.
