She could see his chest rise and fall beneath the tight shirt. His piercingly cold eyes told her exactly how furious he was. “You’ve been frequenting adult toy shops on a regular basis. Were you trying to humiliate me on purpose? Don’t forget your place—you’re the vice president’s wife.” Hearing such an icy tone for the first time, So-eun lowered her gaze, only for his large hand to grab her chin and lift it.

Thinking she needed to apologize, So-eun opened her mouth with tears welling in her eyes. “I’m sorry… I was just… curious…”
