บท 149: Embarrassing date

"I don't want you to go. Stay with me instead." Hoy said to Joreen quietly before pulling her into a hug. 

Joreen only froze for a second before her body began to relax in his embrace, having been used to this by now. But she wasn't sure how she was supposed to control her heart which was always beating erratically whenever he was present or doing things like this. 

He slowly pulled away from the hug to look at her face waiting for her answer, "Hmm?" 

Joreen wanted to agree to it. She really wanted to forget about everything and stay with him but that was not possible. She was a big girl now and had to be responsible. She couldn't just cancel the plans and tell her manager she was no longer interested, it didn't work like that in the entertainment industry and Hoy being the CEO, knew that quite well. 

Hoy was still waiting for her answer. He took her hand in his and looked into her large round eyes. "I'll buy you ice cream." He bargained.
