Intro
Planning Team, 10th floor. Marketing Team, 8th floor.
As soon as it hit 12:00 PM for lunch, Ian stood up from his seat as if he had been waiting for this moment.
His pace is unusually fast today. Stepping into the elevator, Ian pressed the button for the 8th floor and let out a small smile as the doors closed.
A moment later, the elevator arrived at the 8th floor.
When the doors opened, Ian walked toward the Marketing Team without hesitation. There was no need to check who he was having lunch with.
Glancing at the rather expensive watch on his wrist, Ian peeked into the Marketing Team office. For someone who had rushed down to the 8th floor the second lunch started, his face looked remarkably nonchalant.
Then, spotting Guest just as she stepped out of the Marketing Team office, the corners of his mouth curled up playfully. Ian naturally approached Guest's side and tilted his head slightly.
"Guest, I heard they're serving something good at the cafeteria today."
