The interior of Sinyoung's headquarters was even more luxurious than the building's exterior. Adding to the fact that there was quite a throng of people coming in and out, Seol Jihu couldn't immediately tell whether he had set foot inside a top-class department store or a top corporation's lobby.

He stood there looking around and a while later, discovered the reception desk. When he walked closer, a young woman wearing a tidy uniform greeted him with a smile.

“How may I be of assistance?”

“I'd like to speak to someone working here.”

“Please provide me the name of the person you've made an appointment with.”

“Oh, no. I don't have an appointment. Can you call Miss Kim Hannah down here for me, please?”

It was, of course, Kim Hannah.

'That was quick!'

Regardless, Seol Jihu waved his hand, feeling happy to see her.

“Hey, Kim Hannah!”

“Hey, you. Been a while.”

She smiled refreshingly and replied.

“What brings you here? Coming to see me all of a sudden like this.”

“Well, I wanted to see you.”

“You craz…. Well, should we get out of here to have a chat then? As you can see, it's a bit of a madhouse here.”

Kim Hannah spoke really quickly. She even grabbed Seol Jihu's arm and pulled at him before he had a chance to reply. As soon as her back was turned towards the reception desk, the smile on her face evaporated in an instant...
