Chapter 33

                                    

                                          
Thanking the driver who had taken me from the YGE complex to Seunghyun's building, I hopped out onto the busy street. Expecting him to pop the trunk so I could grab my luggage, I was shocked when the driver got out and fetched my bags for me. Staring up into the starry sky, I smiled and felt as sense of happiness. Everything was beginning to work out. Tugging my suitcase towards his apartment building, I walked inside and greeted the security guard at the desk. 
                          
"Anny..." I began to utter until I was interrupted. 
                          
"Good evening, Sophie-ssi," the security guard replied as he smile softly at me. Oh my god, is he in on this game as well? I almost laughed in his face when I realised that Seunghyun had probably told him that I was 'Sophie' the 'Global Brand Ambassador' from YGE. If he only knew!
                          
"Good evening, I'm on my way to meet with Choi Seunghyun," I tried to say in a professional manner. I showed him my YGE badge as if it were something to be proud of. 
                          
He told me to go straight up as he buzzed the elevator for me. This was an extremely posh apartment complex. I wonder how much the rent was...
                          
During the ride in the elevator I couldn't stop yawning. I didn't know what Seunghyun had got planned for the evening but I hope that sleep was on the agenda. Knocking softly on his door, he opened it and invited me in. He helped my with my suitcase, dragging it into the main living room. I stood and gawped at the awesome view of the city in front of me: it really was beautiful. He came and stood behind me, wrapping his hands around my waist and buried his head in my shoulder. 
                          
"Global Brand Ambassador?" I laughed. He rested his chin on my shoulder, causing him to stand at an awkward angle because he was so tall. 
                          
"That wasn't my idea, it was Yang Hyunsuk's. He suggest it."
                          
"I was terrified he'd have me deported. Instead, he's got me working for free for his company?! Korea is a strange country."
                          
"I told him that I was only willing to work for him if he accepted that we were privately dating."
                          
I rested my hands on his as he held me, tilting my head to the right so that I could look at him in the eyes. His stare was deep and I began to get lost in his gaze.
                          
"I would never give my boss orders," I boasted playfully. 
                          
"That's the difference between us, Cheonsa. Besides, like I told you in New York: I want you forever."
                          
It made me dizzy just hearing those words. Forever.  I leaned into him and kissed him softly. I was almost unsure how he had come to the 'forever' conclusion as we hadn't even known each other for a whole year. But it was extremely flattering and I will be honest, I felt the same way too. Sometimes feelings get in the way of logic. Gently, he turned me around and pulled me closer into him. As we embraced, I felt a happiness I had not felt before. As the kiss ended, I put my hands on his shoulders, looking at him through tired eyes. 
                          
"Seunghyun, I'm so sleepy. Can we go to bed?"
                          
He squeezed my butt, almost laughing as he did so. 
                          
"Cheonsa, it's been a very long day and you want to play dirty?" 
                          
"Erm, no, I meant for actual sleep," I said as I hit him playfully. He put his arm around my neck and kissed my forehead. 
                          
"I'll get us a drink of water, you go and climb into bed. The maid has put fresh sheets on."
                          
Smiling at him, I walked over to my suitcase and wheeled it to his bedroom. It was warm, cosy and smelt of lavender despite the white furnishings suggesting it was cold and sterile. I opened my suitcase on the floor and riffled through my clothes, throwing them out and onto the floor around me as I looked for a clean pair of pyjamas. He walked in and stopped, holding two glasses of water.
