“Damn it!” Clara cursed the moment she stormed into the main living room of the Jung estate. A few of the house staff flinched at the arrival of the youngest daughter of the household—Clara Jung. Their eyes widened further as she flung her purse carelessly onto the sofa.

“Sweetheart,” Rico approached her cautiously. “Don’t do this.”

“Why not?” Clara snapped, glaring at him before dragging her hand down in frustration. She began pacing furiously across the marble floor, her heels clicking sharply against the stone, each step a punctuation mark to her brewing storm of anger.

The staff didn’t need to be told. Without a word, they silently retreated, leaving Rico alone to handle the eruption. They knew from experience that if anyone could calm her, it had to be him.

“How the hell is that woman with Josh?” Clara repeated, her voice rising. “What did she do to get so close to him? Don’t tell me she used some cheap trick to seduce Joshua Miller!”

Rico remained seated on the long couch, his e

    “Thank you for the lunch,” Josh said with a satisfied expression. “I really enjoyed the meal.”Mr. Kim looked pleased by the compliment. “The dish Ivy prepared is one of our restaurant’s best. Come back anytime you need an extra boost of energy. From the sound of it, your job must be quite stressful.”Josh chuckled. “You’re right, Mr. Kim. I really appreciate the offer.” His gaze slowly moved across the table, meeting each face in turn. No wonder Ivy had been hesitant about his request last night.If it weren’t to protect the people she cared about from potential trouble with Jaeyoon Jung’s side, Josh was certain Ivy would’ve never agreed to step away from the restaurant.“I’m not sure this is the right moment to say it,” Josh began, glancing at Ivy—who was glaring daggers at him, silently begging him not to continue. But he did anyway. “It’s okay, Ivy. I won’t let you handle this alone. You’re someone I must protect.”Ivy groaned in frustration.“What’s going on?” Mr. Kim asked, puzz

    Ivy stared at the three people in front of her, confusion etched across her face. “Were you even listening to what I said?”Haeon cleared his throat, snapping the other two out of their daze. “It’s not that we weren’t listening, it’s just—”“What you said is absolutely insane, Ivy,” Luna cut in, her tone filled with disbelief. “Honestly, I don’t know if what you just told us is some bizarre dream you had or something that actually happened to you.”Ivy let out a long sigh. “You’re free to believe me or not.”She glanced at the three of them, emotions churning in her chest. The truth was, she hadn’t planned on revealing the part of her life that had flipped so drastically. Especially when it involved someone whose name carried weight—a man practically idolized by countless women.But after everything that had happened recently—Rico showing up at their restaurant, making threats and causing a scene, not to mention one of Josh’s staff shadowing Ivy everywhere she went—and the craziest of

    Ivy winced as the antiseptic stung her skin. Josh’s hand was steady but firm as he dabbed the wound. Ever since they’d left the ballroom, he hadn’t said a single word. His expression had turned cold—so cold, it sent a shiver down her spine.She’d only known him for a short while, but at that time, Ivy had never seen Josh look like this—furious and unapproachable, as though something inside him was barely holding back.But why?“Josh, that hurts,” she hissed, flinching when he pressed a little harder than necessary.His eyes blinked in surprise, as if pulled from a dark thought. “Ah. Sorry.”“You shouldn’t have left the party because of me,” she muttered, her voice quiet and regretful. A flicker of guilt crept into her chest as she replayed the scene from earlier.Josh didn’t respond.Instead, he focused on making sure every scratch, every bruise, had been properly treated. His silence wasn’t careless—it was deliberate. He was calculating. Furious. But not reckless. If he acted on impu

    Ivy stopped, but she didn’t turn around. Her breath caught for a second, but she held it in with her chin lifted and her back straight. A few guests near the edge of the ballroom began to turn in their direction. The soft strains of string instruments still played in the distance, but the air around the pool had shifted—thickening with tension.Clara didn’t stop.“The mask, the dress, the jewelry... I’m guessing all of it belongs to Mr. Josh, doesn’t it?” Her voice was sharp, slicing through the murmurs. “But dignity? Unfortunately, you can’t buy that at any boutique, Aeri-ssi.”Ivy exhaled slowly, ready to walk away—but her step halted when Clara lunged forward, snapping toward her mask and yanking the thin satin ribbon.“You—!”Snap!The delicate strap came undone. The mask slipped from Ivy’s face, landing softly on the marble floor with a faint clink. For a moment, Ivy kept her head bowed—then she lifted it, eyes meeting the crowd.And in that split second, Clara’s entire expressio

    “Did she just turn into a dog?” Ivy muttered inwardly, eyes narrowing as she caught Clara trailing behind her like some awkward little shadow. As if Ivy were someone worth following.Yeah, right. Ivy knew better. Clara wasn’t the type to follow anyone without a purpose.Not that it mattered—at least not while Dylan was nearby. Josh’s trusted assistant hovered within arm’s reach, offering Ivy a sliver of peace in a crowd full of unfamiliar faces.Damn it, Josh! Ivy cursed silently.“Is it okay if I wait for Josh here?” she asked Dylan softly as they reached the poolside terrace.“Of course, Miss Kim,” Dylan replied with a polite nod.Ivy offered a small, tight smile before choosing a table tucked near the edge of the water. From where she sat, the dinner banquet thrown by MaC Group looked more like a red-carpet gala than a corporate gathering.She lifted her wine glass, watching the crimson liquid shimmer under the ambient glow of the garden’s hanging lights. The hotel’s pool area was
