The next morning, as soon as Yonghwa and Shinhye entered the office, they were greeted with a mountain of presents on Yonghwa's desk. Shinhye looked around and realized she had forgotten Yonghwa's birthday.

Previously, for his birthday, she had always planned something special to hold onto him so Jooeun would be left to wait around stupidly. However, times had changed. After experiencing the excitement of cheating, Shinhye realized she could no longer turn back.

"Yonghwa, I've been unwell the past few days, so I haven't prepared a present for you." Shinhye said as she hung on to Yonghwa's shoulder and drew circles on his chest with her delicate fingers; she knew that is his weakness.

As expected, Yonghwa grabbed onto her right hand and responded forgivingly. "I know, it's hard for you to be pregnant, but tonight, you need to make up for it."

Yonghwa's ambiguous words passed through her ear. At the same time, she could also feel his hot breath on her earlobe. Shinhye smiled shyly as she nodded. "OK!"

After all, they had been together for a few years now; she couldn't possibly disregard him completely. Thinking that Jooeun may take this opportunity to get back with Yonghwa, she felt like she had to protect her pride. Even if she didn't want him, she couldn't let Jooeun have him!

So, she decided she'd cancel the meeting with Mr. Jang and spend the night with Yonghwa.

"Yonghwa, do you think, amongst these presents, there would be one from Jooeun?"

In reality, Yonghwa had already questioned this. Would Jooeun still care about his birthday? In previous years, she had always prepared a present for him wholeheartedly; but he always ended up spending the night beside Shinhye making Jooeun wait all night by herself. At that time, he thought Jooeun would always be like that; in the palm of his hands.

"Let me have a look." Shinhye is determined to humiliate Jooeun as she searched through the presents, however, she's disappointed to find nothing. "Seems that sl*t has learned to behave. But Yonghwa, it's been a while since we've had a meal with the staff. How about we call Jooeun to join us for lunch?"

Yonghwa understood her intention as he furrowed his brows. In the end, he nodded in agreement. "You give her a phone call then."

Shinhye gave a girly smile before grabbing the phone from Yonghwa's pocket and ringing Jooeun's number.

"Jooeun, today is Yonghwa's birthday. We are having a staff lunch, will you come?" Shinhye asked with the attitude of a winner; she felt proud that she's using Yonghwa's phone to call her.

"Oh, Jooeun is busy. She is currently filming something for 1stLook." Minjung's voice responded from the other side of the phone.

"Is she busy or is she not brave enough to attend?"

"Miss Park, I know you are desperate for Jooeun to see your live show of affection, but Jooeun does not have the time to attend so-and-so's birthday. You don't have any work, but her schedule is full."

"You!"

Minjung sneered as she hung up the phone. She couldn't be bothered to continue with Shinhye. Jooeun noticed her smiling at her and she smiled back; this would be CN's final celebration.

Night hit. Yonghwa and Shinhye entered Seoul Hotel together Yonghwa had blacked out from drinking too much, so after placing him on the bed she started unbuttoning his shirt. At this time, she received a phone call from Mr. Jang. Shinhye anxiously ran into the bathroom to pick up the phone. Mr. Jang, didn't we agree tonight was canceled?"

"Then do you still want JYP's contract? I am in room 3029."

Hearing JYP being mentioned, Shinhye's heart raced. This is an opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time, she couldn't let it go. After all, Yonghwa is completely drunk, he probably wouldn't know she's gone.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shinhye stopped hesitating. She helped Yonghwa settle into bed before catching the lift to the 30th floor. However, she never expected, Yonghwa would wake up in the middle of the night.

Realizing Shinhye wasn't in the room, Yonghwa immediately sat up and rang Shinhye's phone. She didn't pick up. It's in the middle of the night, where could she have gone?

He ended up questioning the reception desk and checking with the monitoring room; afraid that Shinhye may have gotten in danger. But after the hotel showed him the security footage, he realized she had gone to the 30th floor and snuck into room 29.

"Mr. Jung, do you want us to send someone with you?" The security guards asked.

"No, it's OK." Yonghwa's face looked sick. Although he hadn't witnessed it himself, he could already guess what's going on. So he clenched his fist tightly where others couldn't see.

Normally, the hotel respected their guests' privacy. Footage like this is normal, but they never dared to expose it. However, this man had just caught them in the act! Everyone looked at Yonghwa in sympathy. The feeling of humiliation tore his heart apart painfully.

"Mr. Han, are you OK?"

Yonghwa's face Is pale and his legs are weak. However, he maintain his calm attitude as he stepped out of the monitoring room and boarded the lift to the 30th floor. He didn't know when he ended up knocking on the door of room 29. He pretended to be a staff member until the door opened and Shinhye stood in the doorway wearing her nightgown.

Upon seeing her, he slapped her square across the face like a lion releasing its anger; Shinhye fell to the ground. Meanwhile, at this time, the man that is having an affair with Shinhye is lying sideways on the bed; sound asleep.

"Yonghwa! Yonghwa, don't offend him, you can't offend him." Shinhye held onto Yonghwa and pushed him out of the room before closing the door.

"Go away." Yonghwa pushed Shinhye away. His tall figure quickly disappeared at the end of the red-carpeted hallway.

Shinhye collapsed; her eyes contained a sense of fear as she trembled. Everything had happened too quickly and too suddenly.

A while later, the room door opened and Mr. Jang stepped out to help Shinhye back in the room as he convinced her. "What do you need a man like that for? You will be leaving CN soon and you will be receiving a Top Ten Model Award. It doesn't matter if your relationship is destroyed at this point."

"As for Cha Jooeun, she's so arrogant. Do you think she can continue on like this? Sooner or later she will be stepped all over by you."

Hearing these comforting words, Shinhye slowly calmed down. This is the truth.

Yonghwa, you should blame yourself for being useless, not me for being heartless.

"But, he holds important evidence against me."

"Precious. If he exposes it, it won't be beneficial for him either. If he is smart enough, he will stay quiet!" Mr. Jang sneered. Just to make sure, he got someone to erase the footage from the hotel later that night.
