I was strangely anxious.
Whether the new male secretary was handsome or not, it had nothing to do with Lee Hyun.
No, no.
Why was there no relationship?
The thought of a young, handsome, tall, and fit guy always being by Yerin’s side made me feel bad for no reason.
Lee Hyun opened the office door without hesitation.
***
Since the other employees were out, only Yerin and Junki were in the secretary’s office.
“Mr. Junki, here’s a file that organizes things you need to refer to first.”
Yerin handed Junki the file she had organized nicely.
“Do you want to open it now?”
“Yes!”
Junki opened the file, and Yerin walked over to the monitor and began explaining.
“Aside from that, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime.”
“Yes. I understand. Oh, Secretary Han.”
“Yes, Mr. Junki.”
“What do you usually eat for lunch?”
“Ah.”
Since she hadn’t mentioned the most important thing, Yerin smiled faintly.
“Usually, if the chief has a lunch appointment, I wait and take care of it nearby. On days when he’s not around, you can eat comfortably with the secretarial staff or eat with Junki’s classmates.”
After kindly handing over the job, Yerin slowly raised her head at the hot gaze on the side of her face.
“Uh, chief?”
She didn’t know how long she had been there, but she was sure she had been waiting for Junki to finish talking.
“Is there anything you want me to do?”
It was a question because Lee Hyun had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
“No, I’m not.”
However, Lee Hyun went straight into his office without asking for anything.
The office door slammed shut a little louder than usual, perhaps because the wind came in through the slightly open window.
“What is it?”
However, Yerin stopped thinking when she heard Junki’s voice calling her.
“Secretary Han.”
“Yes, Junki.”
“I see that the chief doesn’t have a lunch appointment today. Then can we have lunch together?”
Since lunch time is the most important thing for office workers, it was a question that could be easily asked.
“Yes, I think so.”
“Then I’ll gather all the questions I have during lunch time and ask them later. If I keep calling you in between, even one secretary won’t be able to concentrate well.”
“Okay.”
***
The lunch time that Jun-gi had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Unfortunately, the other secretarial staff members left the office first, saying they had prior engagements.
“Jun-gi, should I leave?”
“Yes, please.”
On days when Lee Hyun didn’t have meetings, he usually took a nap in his office during lunch time, so Ye-rin tried not to disturb him.
However, without warning, the office door opened wide and Lee Hyun appeared.
“Huh? Chief?”
Lee Hyun looked at Ye-rin and Jun-gi, who were about to grab their wallets and leave the office, and asked.
“Where did everyone else go?”
It was a question asking if Ye-rin and Jun-gi were the only ones left.
It was a question that Lee Hyun never asked.
Lunchtime was break time, so it was up to each employee to do whatever they wanted.
But today, he couldn’t help but ask.
He was criticizing Yerin for creating a situation where she and the half-faced newbie were alone.
Of course, the problem was that there was no one in the office to hear the criticism.
“I heard you have a prior engagement. So I’m going to take care of Junki.”
Lee Hyun was very considerate of his people.
Yerin thought that was why he was upset right now.
Even if it was a prior engagement, it was annoying that a new employee came to the secretary’s office and they couldn’t eat together.
“I’ll take Junki and make him something delicious.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Huh?”
Yerin looked surprised.
“Why? Is that a problem?”
“No, it’s not like that… …”
Lee Hyun raised his eyebrows slightly as he watched Yerin trailing off.
“Director, you must be very tired since you stayed up most of the night yesterday. Why don’t you try to get some shut-eye during lunch? “I’ll pick up your lunch box on the way back.”
Yerin really said that for Lee Hyun’s sake.
Since there was a management meeting in the afternoon, if he didn’t rest during lunch, Lee Hyun would have a hard time.
Since Jun Ki’s welcome party would be held this week under the pretext of a company dinner anyway, there was no need to waste Lee Hyun’s precious time during lunch.
However, it sounded a little different to Lee Hyun’s ears.
‘Am I interrupting that young guy with that half-and-half face right now who’s trying to eat together?’
If that was true, he couldn’t let them go so smoothly.
“I’ll go with you.”
***
In the end, Lee Hyun, Yerin, and Jun Ki headed to a quiet Japanese restaurant near the company together.
Yerin was worried about Jun Ki as a senior at the company.
No matter how good Lee Hyun was, there were few people who would truly welcome having lunch with their boss on their first day of being assigned to a team.
‘It seemed like he had been waiting for lunch since morning.’ It
was sad, but Lee Hyun insisted so strongly that he would come with her, so Yerin had no other choice.
The food they ordered arrived, and Lee Hyun opened his mouth first.
“Welcome to my secretary’s office.”
In fact, Lee Hyun didn’t welcome Jun Ki very much.
If Jun Ki was 20 centimeters shorter than he is now and had a worse appearance, he would have welcomed him with open arms.
“Thank you, Chief.”
Jun Ki seemed to not sense Lee Hyun’s wariness at all, and gave him a kind and gentle smile.
Lee Hyun didn’t like that either.
“He has a good personality and he’s really crazy.”
Anyone who had previously worked at Jiseok Electronics would have known that Lee Hyun and Yerin were getting married. But
the chances of Jun Ki, who had just joined, knowing that much were slim.
Even if he learned most things necessary for work during the one-month training period, there was no way he would kindly tell him about Lee Hyun and Yerin’s marriage.
Lee Hyun had a lot of worries about how to reveal this.
It was because of a request Yerin had made before their marriage.
Even after they got married, Yerin had said that she wanted to work until she had children. He
naturally planned to respect Yerin’s wishes on that.
Yerin’s request was to refrain from excessive displays of affection at work so that they could work without any problems, and she also requested that they not reveal that they were a couple in front of their business partners.
In fact, if you think about it, Yerin was right.
The fact that they were a couple didn’t matter at all when they were working.
But now, for some reason, it felt like he couldn’t grant Yerin’s request.
While eating, Lee Hyun took care of Yerin more than he did himself.
“Secretary Han, there’s no water.”
“Oh, I… … .”
Yerin tried to fill her glass with water, but Lee Hyun picked up the water bottle first and poured it into her empty glass.
Yerin nodded, asking what she was doing, but Lee Hyun pretended not to see.
This was definitely not a normal situation. It
wasn’t like a secretary filling her boss’s glass, and the boss caring about his secretary’s glass being empty.
Yerin quickly opened her mouth to try to cover up the situation.
“Thank you, Chief. I always feel this way, but you’re really delicate. Unlike other people.”
Jun-ki was Lee Hyun’s first boss, so he shouldn’t have learned useless information here.
Unlike other people, he had said this to let them know that Lee Hyun was just a kind boss, but Lee Hyun used it a little differently.
“I care about one secretary a lot. I only do this for one secretary.”
“What are you trying to do now?”
Ye-rin awkwardly smiled and put one hand under the table. She
poked Lee Hyun’s thigh with her finger, indicating that he should stop this strange behavior, although she didn’t know what he was doing.
However, Lee Hyun grabbed Ye-rin’s hand instead.
Surprised, Ye-rin turned her head.
Regardless, Lee Hyun asked Jun-ki a question.
“So, are you seeing anyone as a new employee?”
“No!”
Lee Hyun clenched his molars once more.
“Really? You must be pretty popular.”
When Lee Hyun asked why he didn’t have a girlfriend and made a fuss, Jun-ki answered right away.
“I don’t think it’s the right time to date.”
“I see.”
“Yes. “I plan to hang around here day and night, since it’s time to get used to the company.”
“Is there really a need for that?”
The usual Lee Hyun might have highly evaluated such passion.
However, the other person was Jun-ki.
The fact that that guy would be hanging around the office day and night meant that he would have to stick with Yerin for a long time.
Yerin barely managed to pull her hand away from Lee Hyun and smiled awkwardly.
“Why on earth are you acting like this today?”
If Lee Hyun were to throw out words without thinking, Yerin would have to deal with them.
“Mr. Junki, there are many people who get tired after being too passionate in the beginning. That’s probably why the director is giving advice.”
“That’s not it… …”
“Director, please eat quickly.”
It seemed that if she could somehow shut Lee Hyun’s mouth, this lunch would end peacefully.
When Yerin pushed the gypsy in front of Lee Hyun closer, only then did he pick up his chopsticks. It seemed
like the meal would be quiet for a while, but it was Junki who broke it first.
“Excuse me, Secretary Han. Can I ask you something?”
“Yeah, what is it?”
Yerin thought it would be better to talk about work, so she smiled kindly at Junki.
Lee Hyun didn’t like that either.
“Am I such a narrow-minded person?”
He was jealous that she always smiled at him, but she was smiling at others.
Of course, he knew that it was a smile that was only for work.
Lee Hyun smiled without realizing it as he looked at Yerin.
“Does Secretary Han have a boyfriend?”
But that smile didn’t last long.
Because of one question from Jun-ki.
