Chapter 195: A man with a boring palate

As soon as she saw the egg tarts Su-Jin's eyes began to sparkle and her mouth watered.

However, the man sitting across from her showed quite the opposite expression. His eyebrows furrowed into a scowl and he eyed the egg tarts as though they were some kind of poisonous thing.

"We didn't order this." Ji-Won remarked as soon as he saw the waiter placing the large plates on the table.

The waiter, however, wasn't fazed, neither by Ji-Won's words, nor by his glowering. Instead, he took a step back from the table and bowed at ninety degrees.

"These are a treat from Mr. Gu. Even though you came all the way here, and it just so happens that he's present, unfortunately he is unable to properly greet you. Offering you this small treat is his way of apologizing for the misfortunate situation. The egg tarts have been especially made for you and your date, so please enjoy them, Director Kang."
