My mysterious billionaire
A respectful nod.
Jin’s hand pressed gently against the small of my back, a silent guide and reassurance. He gave a slight, perfect bow of his head. “Harabeoji,” he said, his voice respectful and warm. “This is Emily.”
I followed his lead, dipping my head in what I hoped was a respectful mimicry. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir,” I said, my voice thankfully steadier than it had been at the door.
The old man’s gaze didn’t waver. He gave a slow, single nod. His eyes, so different from Jin’s bright blue ones, seemed to see straight through my nice dress and my practiced smile, straight down to the terrified, fraudulent core of me. He didn’t speak.
