Episode 292
I looked at Hayes, who was pulling shots after shots from the coffee machine, with a surprised expression on his face.
“Hey, you don’t drink coffee?”
“I’m going to give it to the chairman.”
“Me? I don’t drink either?”
“But I think you should eat it. You probably don’t know what the Chairman looks like right now.”
“Hmm. Do you look very tired?”
“Totally.”
I drank the espresso in one gulp without even mixing it with water and just adding sugar.
I said playfully, downing the three shots in just three sips.
“Hey, come to think of it, why didn’t you tell me you were getting married to Hauser?”
“How did you know?”
“You’re afraid I won’t even know about my secretary’s wedding? I have ears to hear everything.”
“It was difficult to speak.”
“why?”
“Because the chairman’s face always looks bad. Whenever the chairman is tired, he always looks like he’s in pain.”
As expected, Hayes was quick-witted.
“I’m a little tired. Don’t worry. So when is the wedding? Why aren’t you sending me a mobile invitation?”
“Next week.”
I looked surprised when I saw Hayes speaking so casually.
I asked Hayes persistently enough that it was annoying.
“Hey, is there anything you want?”
Each time, Hayes repeated the same answer.
“Well, no.”
“Still, tell me.”
“Really not. My current salary is already more than enough.”
“How about tea?”
“Um. Rather than tea, could you just attend the wedding?”
“Of course I should go. But just to attend?”
Hayes looked a little disappointed, but tried to speak without making it seem too burdensome.
“Actually, everyone who knows me asks me, ‘What kind of person is Chairman Seo?’ Is Chairman Seo Jeong-in really coming to your wedding? What kind of person is the chairman you serve?’ And so on. I just want to show everyone the chairman I serve at least once at my wedding.”
I recognized it right away, but of course I couldn’t pretend to know, because Hayes had always been nothing more or less than a secretary.
He always tried to keep his distance from me. Thanks to Hayes, who thought that was the duty and loyal role of a secretary, I always felt comfortable at work.
But on the other hand, I also felt like I wanted to brag about myself. I felt proud because I thought I was more than qualified to do so.
I approached him without hesitation and asked with a wary expression.
“Hayes doesn’t have parents.”
“Right?”
“Can I sit in the parents’ section? Hayes has an uncle, but he’s currently in state prison, so I wanted to show that I’m close to him.”
“!”
Hayes had a difficult upbringing. Originally, her parents had passed away, and she was raised by her maternal uncle. However, her maternal uncle was a violent and unruly man.
Day by day, I became more and more of a drug addict, and my life depended solely on drugs as if I had no future.
He ended up committing a crime while high on drugs and is currently serving a nine-year sentence in a state prison.
Hayes tries hard not to show it, but once at a wine party hosted by Mate Alpha, he pulled a little rude trick on me. He drank a lot of wine and talked his heart out.
The next day, she apologized to me.
I told her not to apologize, but she kept apologizing.
After that, I developed a kind of affection for Hayes.
I intend to show that affection sufficiently.
“Hey, whenever you’re having a hard time, don’t forget that I’m here for you.”
Hayes stood for a moment, his face aching. He took a deep breath as if his heart was pounding.
“Thanks to you, Chairman, I feel like I am the main character of my own life. Thank you so much.”
“what.”
A smile appeared on my face.
* * *
Hayes’ wedding day.
She took a deep breath before walking down the aisle with her fiancé, Hauser, in her custom-made wedding dress.
And then, following the helper, we slowly entered the wedding hall in downtown San Francisco.
The wedding was quite free. But the atmosphere could not be free.
‘I feel strange.’
Hayes has lived with a rather introverted mind since he didn’t have parents. He was often teased because he lacked confidence, and he became strong on his own to overcome his characteristic introverted attitude and wounds.
The result is who she is today.
But the thought still comes to mind tens of thousands of times.
Just before reaching Hauser, Hayes recalled his interview with Seong-in Seo.
‘How inadequate was I when Chairman Seo accepted me?’
Seo Jeong-in pressed Hayes quite hard during the interview. It was a very minor issue, but it was related to attitude.
Hayes didn’t like Seong-in’s attitude and stormed out of the interview room.
But suddenly I got a call saying I passed the interview.
I was really taken aback.
At that time, there must have been tens of thousands of experienced people who applied to Chairman Seo.
Hayes, who had overcome odds of tens of thousands to one to be able to serve Jeong-in, came to realize as time went by that Jeong-in, whom he had secretly disliked, was much more amazing than he had thought, and that she was a person worthy of respect.
She was the one who had just accepted the offer of the highest salary that a secretary could ever receive. Compared to other secretaries with experience, she had nothing to boast about, including her career, education, and everything else, but Chairman Seo gave her life as a gift.
The result was right there in front of me.
Chairman Seo was standing with a bright face and applauding politely. And next to him stood Kang Seo-yoon, who had now decided to go public with her relationship and appeared in front of the public.
‘What a beautiful couple.’
Will they get married? What a beautiful wedding these two will have?
Suddenly, I found myself comparing Hauser and Seo Jeong-in in front of me, but I still thought that there was no other fiancé in the world as realistic as Hauser.
Although she sometimes makes outrageous remarks, Hauser is a person who recognizes her compassion.
He took Hauser’s hand.
And then he glanced at Seong Jeong-in once.
The moment when we read our wedding vows to each other.
Before we knew it, Seo Jeong-in had stepped forward.

Jeong-in spoke as if telling everyone to listen.
“My secretary Hayes has become the most beautiful bride in the world today. Her fiancé Hauser will surely make Hayes the most beautiful woman in the world. I am sure of it. So.”
Hayes felt a bit choked up. His eyes were bloodshot and getting sticky.
I knew I shouldn’t do this with my bridal makeup on, but I couldn’t help it.
I couldn’t bring myself to look at Seong Jeong-in’s face, so I just quietly looked down. Then, I heard a voice from above my head.
“Today I’d like to give Hayes a small gift. Hayes, lift up your head.”
Hayes couldn’t find the words. He just raised his head and looked at Seong-in.
“Hayes. I bought a mansion in California for you and Hauser. It’s the mansion you were so desperate to have when you came with Emma.”
“!”
Tears welled up in Hayes’ eyes again.
The mansion was worth a whopping $10 million, and was located in a wealthy area of California.
Hayes was the highest-paid secretary in the country, but her salary could not afford a mansion in a wealthy California town. Hauser was paid six times less than Hayes.
But, it turned out that Seo Jeong-in was gifting a mansion worth over 10 million dollars.
Seo Jeong-in spoke with emphasis.
“Hayes. So, I want you to continue to be my faithful secretary. After you and Hauser return from France, you have to sign a contract with me. If you quit within the next five years, your mansion will be automatically returned.”
Laughter spread throughout the room. Hayes nodded at the whale with reddened eyes.
“Congratulations, Hayes. Congratulations, Hauser. Hauser, you got the best bride. You’re truly an enviable man.”
Seong-in Seo spoke confidently and forcefully. Hayes’ small shoulders shook.
Seong-in Seo came over and hugged Hayes tightly with her arms wide open. Of course, Hauser too.
Hauser also has a rather weak side, so they both burst into tears and buried their faces in Seongin’s large shoulder.
“Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chairman.”
“Stop saying thank you. You deserve it.”
As of today, I have clearly imprinted this on everyone.
Seo Jeong-in says that the president she is most proud of in the world and her life partner.
Hayes was thrilled.
Seo Jeong-in was creating an opportunity for her that would never come again in her life.
The affection for the chairman, whom I served with great affection, was reaching its peak.
Heys said to himself, stroking his broad back, which seemed to be twice his size.
‘Chairman, I will continue to do my best. Even if it means giving my life.’

The scene where Seo Jeong-in approaches her secretary Hayes and declares to everyone was the most viewed scene of the day on social media.
“Seo Jeong-in’s class who gave me a 16 billion won California mansion. Wow”
“I’m really sorry. My eyes got wet when I heard what Seo Jeong-in said to her secretary.”
“How enjoyable would life be for a secretary who serves a chairman like that?”
“There was a clear reason why Mate Alpha’s turnover rate remained in the 1% range.”
“I reflect on myself for cursing at Seong-in”
“Honestly, I used to dislike Seong-in because of the Trevor Milton thing. But I’m going to be a Seong-in fan from now on.”
“I’m a slacker, so how can I not become Seo Jeong-in’s secretary? Please.”
I got in the car after unintentionally checking out the real-time SNS reactions of one of the guards.
On the way to the mansion in a Rolls Royce.
I held Kang Seo-yoon’s hand.
“But I never thought you would give me such an expensive house as a gift. It’s really amazing.”
“That’s great. I don’t mind spending money on something worthwhile.”
I remembered Hayes, who was still looking at me with swollen eyes.
Hayes had the look of a child’s pure joy. That bothered me even more.
It had been four years since I became his secretary, and I was starting to feel uneasy because I had already learned all about Hayes’s troubles.
But she must have found the courage to make her own way in life. And the mansion in California that I am gifting her is only a little over $10 million, which is very cheap considering the average price of a mansion in a wealthy California town.
I hope Hayes is doing well.
“I guess this is why I like you, Jeong-in oppa.”
“why?”
I looked a little embarrassed. This was because Kang Seo-yoon kissed me on the lips.
“He’s a man of integrity. How could you not like a man like this?”
It’s a sweet moment to savor your lips.
She spoke forcefully, adding a moment later.
“I will become a woman who will embrace all of Oppa Jeong-in’s pain.”
Eyes filled with an old determination. Kang Seo-yoon’s eyes, which seemed to have something she absolutely had to do, made my heart beat faster without me knowing it.
It’s always been like this.
‘I had the illusion that I was being protected by such a small woman.’
But I still like it so much I think I’m going crazy.
A life with my family. A life with a life that I have to take responsibility for.
I may have been wandering around all sorts of places until now, trying to find a family like this.
I thought it was impossible for me. But that changed when Kang Seo-yoon appeared.
I smiled brightly. The feeling of realizing something that I could now enjoy for granted was indescribable.
I was happy. I felt alive.
“Seo-yoon-ah. I will do better from now on.”
At my words, Kang Seo-yoon’s hand reaches out to me.
“I’m doing quite well now.”
That touch is truly comforting.

A few days after Hayes and Hauser left for their honeymoon in France.
Joanna, the sub-secretary, knocked on the door and soon barged in.
“Chairman. There’s breaking news that a mutant virus has appeared again.”
“Mutant virus?”
“Yes. I heard it was named Omicron.”
Omicron.
I found myself repeating those words to myself without realizing it.
And, not long after I had chewed on those words, the New York stock market began to fluctuate as if other mutant viruses had appeared.
In a minus market that was falling under the downward pressure, I received a call from my dedicated PB, Alex Morgan, shortly thereafter.
[Mr. Chairman, today’s profit from short selling and option betting is $9.8 billion.]
Daily revenue of $9.8 billion.
That was my daily income after giving Hayes a mansion worth a little over $10 million.
