What Happens in Episode 11 of The Duke’s Son Claims He Won’t Love Me

While Julius talks with the factory manager, Elsa goes to a warehouse with Jarmo to pick out decorative thread. Jarmo deliberately locks them both inside.

Julius spent a sleepless night, and though both of them tried to be considerate, their feelings failed to connect.
