Chapter twenty eight

As Hye-Jin approached their table with their orders, her usual charm and warmth radiated from her every movement. Despite the twinge of annoyance still lingering within her, she maintained her professional demeanor, determined not to let her emotions interfere with her duties.

"Here you go, Ji-Won, Min-Ji, Sang-Hoon," she said with a bright smile as she set their plates and drinks down on the table. "Enjoy your meal!"

Ji-Won, Min-Ji, and Sang-Hoon exchanged a glance, their dynamic shifting subtly as they continued their charade. Sang-Hoon, ever the cheerful instigator, chimed in with playful banter, his teasing remarks adding to the illusion of their happy trio.

Hye-Jin avoided meeting their gaze, her attention focused solely on completing her task. With practiced efficiency, she delivered their orders with a cheerful demeanor, her movements fluid and graceful as she navigated the space around their table.
