41 I personally think youre doing a lot for us already, so let me handle this. (1/2)

”Mr. Song! Lady Chung! I'm so glad you're able to come together today,” a friendly looking elder male greeted the pair enthusiastically as they entered the jewelry shop.

”Master Jin,” Song Hyun-Shik greeted and bowed.

Chung Ji-Eun's eyes went wide as she in surprise when she heard the name Song Hyun-Shik mentioned, but she bowed dutifully just the same.

'Master Jin?' Chung Ji-Eun peered at the elder's smiling face discreetly. 'Jin Gun Ho of Glamour? The famous jeweler, the gold crafts artisan?'

It would make sense since they're at a famous shop in the heart of Main City.

But still, her heart jumped at the prospect of a Master Artisan meeting with them today.

”Ah! Dear boy! There's no need to be all formal with me,” the elder admonished gently. ”After all, we're like family!”

The elder's laughter echoed rhythmically inside the shop. As soon as he calmed down, he turned his attention to Chung Ji-Eun, who had stayed silent throughout the whole exchange.

Seeing the Master's attention focused on her, she began to fix her clothes. ”I haven't had the chance to introduce myself earlier, Elder.”

The elder nodded at her, observing her intently.

She bowed formally.

”Thank you for having us today,” she said in a clear voice. ”My name is Chung Ji-Eun, daughter of Chung Luo-Yong of the Chung Group of Companies.”

”Those cameras don't do your beautiful face justice, little lady,” the elder smiled. ”Your Father must have saved a country in his past life to have such a blessing for a child.”

”You flatter me, Master Jin,” she shook her head, her smile widening a fraction. ”Your kind words just made my day.”

The Master felt satisfied and impressed with the young lady's show of etiquette.

”Master Jin, thank you for accepting my proposal,” Hyun-Shik said smoothly. ”I was told that my fiancee really liked your designs, so...”

Chung Ji-Eun shot him a knowing look.

”Ah, really?” The elder laughed again, moving from his post behind the glass counter towards them. ”Well, that's really lucky, ain't it? Today, I shall be helping you with your rings! Come to the meeting room!”

As they followed the elder into the back room, Ji-Eun recalled the conversation she and Hyun-Shik had the night before. He had asked her if they can meet today to prepare something for the wedding. And though she agreed then, she didn't really know what they were supposed to meet for.

After a few drinks and some light conversation by the pool, they both decided to call it a night. It was only after Ji-Eun had gone into her suite that she took a closer look at the card that Hyun-Shik gave her.

A 'Glamour' card? This is a famous brand as far as global fashion and jewelry is concerned.

Ji-Eun turned the card over and noticed a formal note addressed to her.

She quickly pulled out her phone and called Hyun-Shik's number.

”How were you able to get Glamour?” Ji-Eun excitedly asked as soon as Hyun-Shik picked up her call. ”No, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't call you when I know you're driving, but...”

”Oh, you finally saw the card?” Hyun-Shik laughed lightly. ”It's alright. I'm on hands free.”

”Oh, okay,” Ji-Eun perused the card again. ”I really like this brand. How did you-?”

”I asked for help,” he replied smartly. ”Your attendant.”

”Anita?”

”Yeah, she said they're the only set you'd wear,” she could hear the satisfaction in his voice. ”Well, really... Ji-Eun, all we've been talking about is the wedding day and all. But we don't really have the most basic thing yet.”

”Basic thing?” Ji-Eun's brows furrowed.
