Chapter 24

Jin can not help but doubt Himari on a deeper level. Aside from her intelligence when she made a deal with them, Himari lacked any characteristics that would indicate that she is the real person behind the famous Silver Tigers. 
"If not, what is the point of wearing this ring?" Himari said, showing him her ring again. "Anyways. Now that you are my boyfriend, it is best if you act like one. Of course, I will be your loving girlfriend as well." 
"I can forget this stupid setup of yours if you want." Jin said. 
Jin can dismiss that promise as a drunk woman's joke because it has nothing to do with their group's safety.
"That is not going to happen. I am not the type to break her promises. In addition, if we get into a relationship, you stand to gain even more. Consider it simply as one more business transaction involving the Dragons and the Tigers."
Before Jin could respond, the doorbell rang twice. Jin hears Jack's loud voice behind the door calling for him. He let out a soft sigh before approaching the door. When Jin opens the door, Jack greets him first, then hands him a bunch of paper bags. 
"Boss! I apologize for being late. But here are the things you asked me earlier. Because I am not sure what size to get, I bought several dresses in various body sizes." Jack explained. "But why do you need those...dresses..." 
When Jin turns his head, he sees Himari standing behind him, looking at Jack. Jack is also looking at her before turning around to stare at Jin with wide eyes. His eyes are quietly asking him, 'Boss, why he was with her early in the morning?'. Then Jack's eyes drop slightly as he looks at Himari. 
Jin furrowed his brow as he finally realized what was wrong with Jack. He is becoming shy after seeing Himari's appearance. She is only wearing her underwear underneath the white shirt. It is not obvious, but the outline is visible. Jin slams the door shut without saying anything. 
"You should get dressed properly." Jin said this before handing Himari the paper bags he is holding. 
"Oh. "You bought some clothes for me?" She asked. "I had no idea you are such a caring boyfriend." 
She ignores Jin's scowl despite it. Himari looks at the clothes inside the paper bags that she is holding.
"Hmm... Not bad. Wait for me a little bit. I will simply put on some new clothes." Just as Himari is about to head upstairs, she pauses to give Jin another look. "By the way. Who took my clothes off last night?" 
"You removed it while complaining that you were uncomfortable," 
"Yeah? But why am I here at your house? Is this your private place?" 
"Is it better for me to leave you at the bar last night?" 
The truth is that Jin can not talk to her properly because she got drunk last night. Jin asked where she should be brought, but Himari insisted on taking her to the airport. When he asked why, Himari explained that she wanted to return to Quintel City and play the piano in her restaurant there. In short, she was the type of woman who talks nonsense while drunk. 
"Hmm... Okay. So nothing happened between us. Too bad for you, huh. But no worries, Jin! There is always a next time." 
"You!"
Jin told Himari the truth to make things clear between them. He needed to do it because she kept asking him if anything had happened between them. But this woman speaks as if she intended to sleep with him last night. He did not even notice her blushing while they were discussing it. Himari hums softly after hearing his response before heading upstairs. Jin let out a sigh and massaged his temple. 
This woman will be the cause of his early death. While waiting for Himari, Jin opens the door again. Jack is still out there waiting for him. When Jack hears the door open, he starts questioning his boss. 
"Boss! Why is Miss Himari with you? And she is wearing your clothes! Did anything happen last night? You told us last night that everything was fine!" 
"Jack." Jin called his name in a stern tone, which stopped him from asking any more questions. 
"Boss..." 
"I will answer your questions later. But first, prepare my car in the garage. After that, call Bern to meet me in my office later." 
Jack nods, but it is clear that he is reluctant to do so. Jack really wants his boss to answer his questions. Jin simply waved his hand and dismissed him before closing the door again. After a few minutes, Himari walks downstairs while talking on the phone. 
"Hmm...I am fine. You have nothing to worry about. Akito is just exaggerating." When Himari noticed Jin looking at her, she smiled at him. "Okay. I will pay you a visit when I have time. Bye." 
"Who was that?" Jin suddenly asked. 
It is too late for Jin to stop himself from asking her about it. Who she spoke with was never his business in the first place. 
"Jealous?" 
Jin is taken aback when Himari wraps her arms around his neck and gently kisses him on the cheek without waiting for his response. 
"I did not realize you were such a jealous man." Himari spoke softly and seductively in his ear.
It is still early in the morning, but Jin does not have the energy to argue with her. Jin gently pushes Himari away from his body and places his phone on the table. Himari was not bothered by his actions. Instead, Himari fixes her hair and looks in the mirror. When she is satisfied with her appearance, Himari faces Jin and clings to his arm as if it is a natural reflex for her. 
 
"I warned you not to touch me."
 
"Oh? But touching your lover is a natural thing to do. Right?"
 
"Himari—"
  
"That's right. That is the name of your new girlfriend." 
 
'This woman will be the death of me...'
"Let's go?" She sweetly said before lightly pulling Jin with her. 
"Haah..."
After driving Jin to the hotel, Himari gives him another kiss on the cheek, causing him to scowl at her. But, as always, she ignores it. She gives him a quick goodbye before exiting the car without waiting for his reply. Jin notices her loyal guard looking at him from the hotel entrance before bowing to Himari. Akito then opens the door to his car and assists Himari in getting inside. 
Before entering the hotel, Jin let a valet take care of his car. He is about to board the elevator when someone appears beside him. Jin turns his head and sees Lester smiling smugly at him. They ignore each other until the elevator door opens. 
"You stayed with her all night." Lester suddenly stated.
Jin does not need to guess who the 'her' he was referring to is. Jin already knows who shared this information with him. It was that nosy painter who acted like a virgin girl last night. Jin plans to give Vincent a good black eye the next time he sees him.
