Beyond the red Porsche window, Cha Hyun waved his hand and quickly shouted for her to get in.
Feeling the eyes of the gathering crowd, Yeeun quickly got into Cha Hyun’s car.
“Buckle up.”
Instead of a greeting, Cha Hyun instructed her to fasten her seatbelt and started the car.
Cha Hyun focused only on driving, while Yeeun just silently pressed her fingers against her knee without saying a word.
It was only after completely leaving the street where Hanju Group’s headquarters is located that Cha Hyun opened his mouth.
“Hey, you didn’t call yesterday?”
Every evening, they had to report on their work.
But yesterday, she couldn’t do it. No, she didn’t do it.
She was just at a loss for words about what to say when making the call.
The director had a family gathering with his niece, and, in the end, she fell asleep.
He mentioned that his niece is really good at that.
Today, she had to do it, and now she’s on her way to the hotel where his niece is staying.
Well, should she say it like this?
“I’m sorry. Yesterday…”
“It’s okay. Sometimes you can skip it. I don’t have to hear every little detail.”
Struggling to speak, but Cha Hyun interrupted her, turning to her with a glance.
“Do you want to have dinner with me?”
Seemingly indifferent, he was asking, but his dark eyes were quite focused.
With just one glance, Cha Hyun, who had the ability to penetrate a person’s true feelings, observation, and insight, was already seeing through her.
What on earth should she say to explain yesterday’s situation to Cha Hyun?
Surely, everything that happened yesterday fell within Cha Hyun’s approved scope.
For some reason, she felt like she had committed a sin.
So, maybe she postponed the report.
Yeeun, carefully choosing her words, cautiously opened her mouth.
“Dinner seems difficult. I have a prior engagement…”
“A prior engagement? With whom?”
Cha Hyun’s eyebrows twitched, and he accurately spat out the answer.
“Could it be Doha?”
Hesitating to answer, Yeeun hesitated, and Cha Hyun chuckled.
Short-cut Cha Hyun’s smooth white hair flew lightly every time she laughed.
“Our Chief Manager Cha. Seems like last night was quite satisfying. He’s looking for you two days in a row.”
Yeeun pressed her lips tightly.
She thought Cha Hyun must know about yesterday’s work.
Even more reason to report, but she missed the timing because she mixed personal feelings into the relationship yesterday.
It’s her fault for not seeing work just as work.
“Yesterday…”
“You don’t have to say it. You might have noticed, but there are people attached to both you and Doha.”
She vaguely knew.
In this industry, it was not uncommon for a conglomerate to employ trainers or counselors and watch the process by installing CCTV.
“Director, then Chairman too…”
“You know.”
Cha Hyun’s concise answer, he put the car direction indicator while stopping the car on the side of the road.
“Yesterday evening, it was already reported that Ms. Yeeun entered the hotel, and she left the hotel in the early morning. It’s already reported with photos.”
Ha, even with pictures.
As she tightened her grip on the hands clasped together, the strength left red crescent-shaped marks on her palm.
“The call from Director Gong to Yeeun this morning was some kind of test.”
It was an unexpected call.
Instructions were usually conveyed through Cha Hyun, so it was strange for her to be called directly from the secretary’s office.
It felt extremely unnatural, an event without context.
Director Gong’s attitude was the same.
It was like someone entering a sandwich shop and placing an indifferent order.
“Add tomatoes with a soulless voice, and exclude cucumbers. Bread is whole wheat, and cheese is Emmental.”
It seemed unnecessary, as if ordering something not needed and not even for oneself.
“It was to see how effective the overnight effect is.”
In the meeting with the Federation of Industries, Director Gong listed the tasks that Cha Doha had to do and also wished him success.
So, I noticed that it was some kind of test.
“It’s to see how much Cha Doha follows what Yeeun says.”
It’s because I didn’t know it was a test for the overnight effect.
“You’ve checked enough, and from now on, the requirements will increase gradually. If it’s severe, you might be called separately to polish it.”
My head suddenly became dizzy.
The information was tangled, and the situation was distorted into a mess.
In the end, the reason they hired her at Hanju Group was not for Cha Doha’s image training but to have Cha Doha in their hands and freely manipulate her.
Not his heart but to invade the bed and dictate pillow talk.
Training is just an excuse, and she is nothing more than a spy attached to Chairman Cha Jiseop.
Cha Doha knows this fact too… that’s why Cha Doha’s friend referred to her as a ‘pretty spy.’
Not knowing this, she talked about training as if it were, and how pitiful she must have been to Cha Doha.
Feeling overwhelmed by self-loathing, Cha Hyun called her as she trembled.
“Yeeun, listen carefully.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
