Todos os capítulos de My mysterious billionaire : Capítulo 21 - Capítulo 30

Emily’s POVThe town car pulled up to the curb just down the street from my office building, a discreet distance away from prying eyes. The lunch, the conversation, the terrifying agreement to meet his family—it all felt like a surreal dream that was about to crash into the stark reality of my cubicle and my looming deadline on the von Oberhaus piece.Jin got out first, ever the gentleman, and came around to open my door. I slid out, my legs feeling like jelly. The bright afternoon sun was a harsh contrast to the warm, intimate gloom of the restaurant.l“Thank you for lunch,” I said, my voice still a little unsteady. I clutched my bag like a lifeline, unsure of the protocol. A handshake felt absurd. A wave felt too casual. What was the proper way to say goodbye to your fake-turned-potentially-real-but-still-terrifyingly-complicated billionaire boyfriend after he’s just invited you into the lion’s den of his fa

Emily’s POVHe got out of the car and came around to open my door. As I stepped out, my heels sinking into the immaculate gravel of the driveway, I felt a wave of dizziness. The house loomed before us, beautiful and intimidating.Before we could take a step toward the front door, it swung open.A woman stood there, her posture ramrod straight. She was dressed in an elegant, sleek black dress that reached her knees. Her dark hair swept into a severe but stylish knot. Her eyes were different from Jin’s. They were pitch black and reminded me of Minjun. I wonder if Jin ever felt he didn’t belong here because he didn’t look like his parents.She scanned me from head to toe in a single, efficient motion. Her expression was not unkind, but it was assessing. Deeply, thoroughly assessing.This had to be his mother.My brain short-circuited. Bow. Bow now. Halmeoni? No, that's grandmother. Eomma? Too familiar! Sir? Ma'am?

Emily’s POVThe rest of the dinner passed in a surreal haze. The food was amazing. I had never eaten Korean food, and I can’t even name some of the dishes, but even if the food tasted like heaven, my mind was a whirlwind.I kept staring at Jin. Our agreement was only going to last a year, meaning that after that, we were done. He should have said something to his family about us just starting or totally discarding marriage, for that matter.But he didn’t do that.Why? I wondered, but I knew it would be better if I didn’t ask him.Jin’s mother’s words had landed like a stone in my stomach. I glanced at Jin and saw the subtle tension in his jaw, the almost imperceptible gulp. He was braced for my reaction, for the questions. But all I felt was a strange, hollow ache. Of course, he had a past. A man like him… he must have had many. The idea of him with other women shouldn’t have felt like a physical blow. It was illogical. We

Emily’s POV“Come on, chop chop, we don’t have all day.”I stared at the blank yellow paper, feeling absurd. But the familiar framework of analysis, of breaking down a complex story into manageable parts, was a lifeline my brain instinctively grabbed onto.“Okay,” I said slowly, taking a shaky breath. “Uh. Pros. He… could have called my boss and told him about my terrible behavior during our interview. Thus, getting me fired.”Chloe scribbled. “Pro: Lenient.”A half-hysterical giggle escaped me. “He gave me the interview of a lifetime.”“Pro: Career-making opportunity.”“He… he remembers things I say. He listens. Even when I’m arguing with him.” The memory of him referencing our economic policy debate the morning after my blackout surfaced. “He’s… sharper than he looks. And he looks pretty sharp.”“Pro: Good listener (for a billionaire). Surprisingly not dumb.”“He stood up to
