“I may now be pushed out by my brother in terms of the Jiseok Group shares.”
Lee Hyun casually told a huge story.
And Soo Hyun, sitting next to him, didn’t seem all that happy about the slight increase in shares.
The condition that Chairman Cha proposed for handing over the Jiseok Group seemed more important to the two men.
“So you’re saying that the only way I can beat my brother is to get married early.”
“Ah… … .”
“Bring that important person that Han Ye Rin needs to find to me quickly.”
It was a reference to the woman who had disappeared for the first time in a long time.
“Or Han Ye Rin can take her place.”
Lee Hyun smiled faintly as if the choice was now up to Ye Rin.
Ye Rin gently squeezed the hand she had placed under the table.
It must have been a story about bringing the missing woman quickly so that they could prepare for the wedding, but it sounded a little different to Ye Rin.
Even if it wasn’t that woman, she felt like she could take her place.
‘Even though I know it’s nonsense.’
She couldn’t understand why she was misinterpreting Lee Hyun’s words like this these days.
Yerin simply answered with an awkward laugh.
Suhyun, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly asked curiously.
“Does a secretary have to find an important person?”
“There is something like that.”
“Oh, you made me curious.”
Lee Hyun kept his mouth shut about that, so Suhyun’s face was filled with curiosity.
“More importantly, are you two really dating?”
Lee Hyun had said that he had a crush on a woman, and when she realized that it was Yerin, Suhyun felt like she had been hit hard on the head.
“So that’s why you said at the breakfast meeting that day that you couldn’t go on a blind date because there was a secretary who had a crush on you?” “
That’s sharp.”
Suhyun opened her lips slightly in surprise at Lee Hyun’s answer.
“Wow.”
There was a time when I thought that Lee Hyun was just talking nonsense because he wanted to rebel against Chairman Cha, who was threatening to set up a blind date.
However, it was absolutely unusual for him to avoid a blind date by giving up some of his shares in the Ji Seok Group.
That meant that Lee Hyun was really serious about the woman he was seeing.
And the fact that the woman who changed Lee Hyun like this was Yerin was also quite surprising.
“Since when? No, it hasn’t been that long since you two started working together, right?”
Soo Hyun seemed very curious and ready to ask questions.
Lee Hyun slowly turned his head and stared at Soo Hyun, letting out a low voice.
“I don’t want you to know the details.”
“Hey, aren’t you going too far by making me curious?”
“You’ll know everything when the time comes, so why are you so curious?”
Lee Hyun wiped his mouth with a napkin and said one more thing.
“And don’t tell Chairman Cha about what you saw and heard today.”
“Isn’t that obvious? If you tell me, I’ll be criticized too, and I’ll be called crazy.”
After hearing the definitive answer from Soo-hyun, Lee Hyun glanced at Ye-rin, who was quiet and sat in the front seat, and opened his mouth.
“Hyung, and I think it would be better to go somewhere else to buy dinner.”
“What? No, I didn’t even touch the food I ordered.”
“You’re not planning on sneaking in and eating with me on a secretary date, are you?”
Looking at Lee Hyun’s eyes, which had suddenly become cold, all he could do was laugh.
“Let’s go, let’s go.” As Soo-hyun got
up from her seat, Ye-rin also got up and greeted him politely.
“Then enjoy your meal. See you next time.”
Soo-hyun motioned for Ye-rin to sit down quickly and left while receiving Lee Hyun’s cold gaze.
Lee Hyun immediately turned his gaze to Ye-rin and began to speak affectionately.
As he went out the door, Soo-hyun couldn’t take his eyes off Lee Hyun’s unfamiliar appearance.
“You’ve completely changed, haven’t you?”
I never thought that a workaholic who was always stuck in the office, working, regardless of whether it was a weekend or a weekday, would be laughing and chatting in a nice restaurant like this.
It was amazing how love could change a person like that, and I also found Lee Hyun’s appearance unfamiliar.
And I also wondered what kind of mind he had.
“They look better together than I thought.”
When I put Lee Hyun and Yerin side by side as a man and a woman, not as a boss and secretary, I couldn’t help but admit that they were a couple that looked so good together.
***
After Soo-hyun left, Ye-rin looked like she had a lot to say.
Even if she had talked to Seo-yoon as if they were real lovers, she didn’t know if it was okay for Soo-hyun to do the same.
After all, it wasn’t a real relationship, it was a fake relationship.
“I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable revealing our relationship in front of him.”
“No, it was an unavoidable situation. However, since we’re not really dating, I’m having a lot of thoughts about whether this is right.”
It was fortunate that Lee Hyun had asked Soo-hyun for help to avoid meeting Seo-yoon, but on the other hand, it wasn’t fortunate.
Her heart was heavy because she had traded stocks in the Ji-seok Group with Soo-hyun.
Especially since Lee Hyun and I weren’t really dating, she felt even more sorry.
As if he had read Ye-rin’s feelings, Lee Hyun let out a snicker.
“It was my choice. I’m taking full responsibility for it, so I hope you don’t look so serious.”
Ye-rin nodded slowly.
“You know very well that I’m not the type of person to do something without a plan, right?”
“Yes, of course.”
“So, please be faithful to the time we spent together during the period we promised. That’s all I ask.”
“Okay.”
She answered simply, but Yerin’s mind was very complicated.
If she had just enjoyed this relationship with Lee Hyun, she might not have thought about it deeply.
However, her feelings for him had grown to a certain extent, and she had become sincere, so there was nothing she could do.
‘It shouldn’t be a bad choice for me to be by the chief’s side.’
They were in a relationship because they liked each other, but if this relationship was causing harm to one of them, she needed to stop here and think about it.
If she was holding on to Lee Hyun for no reason and he lost the chance to find a good match… …
However, selfishly, she hated the idea of Lee Hyun seriously meeting with Seo Yoon and discussing the future so much.
‘Is this okay?’
As always, she didn’t know the answer to this question.
No, maybe she knew but was ignoring it.
***
Mrs. Yoon’s suitcase, which had returned from her trip to Thailand, was filled with more gifts than usual.
In the past, she had only packed gifts for Chairman Cha, his two sons, and a few close acquaintances, but not today.
“I wonder if she likes it.”
Yerin’s face, which smiled strangely whenever she ate something delicious in Thailand, floated around.
As she packed dried fruits, tea, and snacks, one by one, she had already filled one side of her suitcase with things to give to Yerin.
When she had given Yerin a luxury bag as a gift before, she had felt burdened, so she had chosen items that would not be burdensome at all for this trip. As soon
as she returned to Korea, Mrs. Yoon was heading to Jiseok Electronics.
After lunch, she was feeling drowsy, so she needed a light snack.
Mrs. Yoon started walking, thinking she would just quickly hand her the snacks she had bought and leave.
When she got down to the floor where Lee Hyun’s office was and went into the secretary’s office, Yerin was the first to get up from her seat and greet her.
Secretary Choi also got up from his seat and approached Mrs. Yoon.
“The director is currently in a video conference. I didn’t get a call in advance, so I couldn’t coordinate the schedule.”
Mrs. Yoon waved her hand at Secretary Choi, who was looking embarrassed.
“Isn’t this the one you came to see Lee Hyun?”
“Huh?”
“You can share this.”
Mrs. Yoon began distributing snacks she had bought herself in Thailand in shopping bags to the staff in the secretariat.
The shopping bag in Yerin’s hand was twice as big as the others.
In case she was suspicious, Mrs. Yoon belatedly added the reason.
“Secretary Han must have had a hard time because she works hard next to our Lee Hyun.”
“Oh, thank you, ma’am.”
“It’s really nothing, so eat comfortably while you work.”
Hyejin and Seulgi must have been secretly looking forward to it, but when they opened the shopping bag, they were soon disappointed.
Since they had heard that Mrs. Yoon had gone on a trip to Thailand, they seemed to have briefly expected that the gift she was giving them today would be a rather expensive luxury item bought at a duty-free shop.
But unlike them, Yerin checked the contents and smiled brightly.
“I really like dried mangoes. I’ll enjoy them.”
It was a sweet and sour snack that made my mouth water in no time.
Moreover, since it was something she could receive without feeling burdened by compared to the expensive designer bag she had received as a gift last time, her heart felt even lighter.
When Yerin smiled brightly and said she was happy, Mrs. Yoon smiled as well.
Yes, she had come all the way here, tired as she was, because she wanted to see that sight in person.
“Everyone, don’t overwork yourself and work hard. Then I’ll go.”
As if to prove that Lee Hyun was really not her target, Mrs. Yoon handed her some snacks and left the Jiseok Electronics building right away.
“Should we just buy that mango cookie factory in Thailand?”
It was driving her crazy because the image of Yerin smiling brightly kept floating before her eyes.
“How great it would be if Secretary Han were my daughter, or rather, my daughter-in-law.”
The mother and son were deeply infatuated with Yerin.
