"Girlfriend? Since when?... I mean, when did it happen?" Louisse stammered. She can't believe that the man she loved for so many years would introduce a girlfriend to her. What's more is that she never once saw Hans smile like how he smiled in front of Everly.The last time she visited him, he was still single. So how come he suddenly had a girlfriend? Is this some kind of a joke?!Hans wrapped his arms around Everly's thin waist. Happiness is visible in his eyes as he speaks, "It's not that long since when got together." Everly just smile and didn't say anything."How did you two meet?" Hans's parents didn't say anything about him seeing some girls. And looking at how close they were, they knew each other for a long time already, not a recent one."Everly was my patient when I visited Luther City. And then, we met again here in the city because of some unexpected happenings. Then, after that, we met again in Cartville Village.""Cartville Village..." Louisse glanced at Everly who was
Inside a luxurious office, on the top floor of the building, Everly walked inside following Manager Kim. The man in his thirties stood up and greeted them. "Good day President." Manager Kim greeted. "Everly is already here."Everly looked at the man and greeted him politely. Despite her staying in the agency for so many years already, it's rare for her to see the President. The last time he saw him is when Manager Kim's reputation was being tarnished."Have a seat Manager Kim, Ms. Park" They both sat at the seat, facing the President. "I'm here to ask both of you a favor.""A favor? What kind of favor President?" Manager Kim curiously asked."It's like this, my niece wanted to start an entertainment company herself but we know it's not easy to build one. This industry is very chaotic so a person without experience will fail to doom." Everly listened intently to what he was saying. In her conclusion, the president must have loved his niece dearly. That's not impossible to happen since
"Everly! Who was that girl? Do you know her? She seems close with your boyfriend." Manager Kim grunted. They are on their way to Everly's apartment. The meeting with the president's niece has ended a few hours ago. Although nothing seems out of ordinary during that meeting, Manager Kim can't help but feel the invisible tension. She didn't know why she doesn't feel good with this Louisse Song.Turning her head to the side, Everly saw Manager Kim's troubled look. "Manager Kim, don't worry. I'll handle it." she faintly replied."What do you mean you'll handle it? Just who was that Louisse Song? Why do I feel like she's deliberately provoking you earlier?!""You were just imagining things, Manager Kim. And besides, if she's really provoking me, let her be. I won't be so stupid as to stoop to her level. I have better things to do than to fight with her." Everly calmly replied.Seeing her confidence, Manager Kim shut up. "Okay, if you say so. But I'm still not fine with that girl. Good thin
Since it was close to midnight, Manager Kim and Dr. Lee decided to meet in a 24/7 convenience store near Everly’s building apartment. When Dr. Lee entered the store, Manager Kim was already waiting for him inside.Manager Kim looked up when the store’s sliding door opened and waved at him, getting his attention. Dr. Lee steadily walked toward her and sat at the empty seat in front of her.“Do you want to drink some coffee?” Manager Kim offered.Dr. Lee shook his head. “No thanks. I’m okay Manager Kim…. So, what is this all about Louisse?”Manager Kim lost her smile after hearing that name. “I heard from Everly that she was a close friend of yours. Is that right?”“Yes, she’s a friend of mine. Manager Kim, what really happened at the agency? Although Everly didn’t say anything, I know something happened there based on her expression when she mentioned Louisse’s name.” He looked with a bit of a worried expression.“I heard you were discussing your marriage with her,” she stated directly
The next day, it’s the official start of Louisse working as Everly’s manager. For this day, Everly had to film a commercial. Aside from her being a singer, because of her popularity, a lot of companies wanted her to be the endorser.However, Everly was quite picky in accepting her endorsements. In the end, she agreed to shoot a commercial for a shampoo brand and also an endorsement ad for an international brand that Everly loved the most.Early in the morning, Louisse knocked on Everly’s apartment door, and not a moment later, Everly opened it. “Good morning Manager Song.” she politely greeted.Louisse greeted her back innocently. It’s like the provoking words she said yesterday were merely imagination. “Let’s go, you have an early shoot.”“Why is it moved this early? I thought the filming will begin in the afternoon?” she asked. As far as she could remember, it was scheduled for the afternoon. So, why is it moved this early?“Well, the director has something important business to att
Everly stepped out of the changing room wearing a peach A-line long dress that hugged her curvy body. It perfectly suited her figure since the dress completely highlighted her fair skin and slender waist. She looked ethereal and elegant, with her calm and expressionless face, it was like seeing a real-life princess from the medieval age.For today’s theme, Everly would attend a masquerade ball and attract the attention of the prince. The prince searched far and wide for that lady in the peach dress. On his search, he encountered a maiden on the street and recognized the smell of the woman’s hair, including her wavy brown hair. The prince will then realize that it was the lady in the peach dress at the ball.“Everly, I know you are not used to acting but I want to see those emotions in today’s scene. I believe you prepared for today’s shoot, am I right?” The director asked her.“No problem director. I won’t delay the shoot.” Everly gently nodded.The director made a signal toward her r
“What?! What do you mean it has been hacked?” Everly can’t help but exclaim in fright.They are currently in an apartment room in a building near the city square. According to Hans, his friend who is living in this apartment had been an IT expert. So, instead of them going to the mall to have it checked, it would be better to have his friend check it instead.A man with thick sunglasses on his face, his hair is disheveled, dark circles are popping out under his eyes, and is wearing a tracksuit while facing his computer seriously. The usual computer geek look.Hans looked surprised as well. “David, since when did her phone hack?”“It has been a while since her phone was hacked. However, for the past few days, it has just been spying on her. The hacker just took action on it last night.”David answered nonchalantly.Everly shivered instantly. “So, you mean to say, all the calls and messages I had with my phone were spied on?” She looked at Hans, fear is showing in her bright eyes. Who on
“Sister, how about you go home for now? I’ll take care of mom, don’t worry. you haven’t rested properly this past few days.” said a young man, around the age of 18. He is wearing casual and cheap clothing but it didn’t hide his handsomeness at all. His eyes bore a trace of worry as he looked at the woman sitting near the hospital bed while holding their mother’s hand.“I’m fine Maverick. You’re the one who needs to rest. You still have an upcoming college exam this week. Go home, I’ll take care of mom.” Mary said weakly.Mary had been staying in the hospital for a few weeks already. She already asked for a leave from Manager Kim to take care of her mother. She didn’t tell them that her mother was getting surgery because she don’t want to cause them trouble.Her mother got a heart attack recently and the doctor said that she needed to get surgery. Fortunately, the surgery went well and her mother’s condition was getting better and better.She glanced up and looked at the young man in f
