Jin Ho certainly thought highly of Yura’s abilities. But knowing that Lee Hyun had intervened was displeasing. What did he know about her capabilities to meddle so needlessly, bruising her pride?
Confronting him would be pointless, as he’d claim his influence was irrelevant to her hiring. Moreover, arguing with someone who belittled her felt like a waste of emotions.
Since then, Lee Hyun became an even more repugnant figure to Yura. Just the sight of him was irritating, a man who didn’t care about others’ feelings, full of his own self-importance.
Facing Lee Hyun, who had stopped right in front of her, Yura slightly furrowed her brows.
“It’s been a while, Manager Jin Yura.”
“Hello, Vice President Baek Lee Hyun.”
After exchanging formalities, Yura quickly resumed her path.
Receiving a package from the courier and heading back to the planning team, Yura paused at the office door.
“But who’s the performer for the show scheduled in the second half of the year?”
“Well, it seems like the top brass is secretly negotiating with someone. They say it’s a big shot.”
Yura nodded in agreement with Manager Jung’s response. The second half of the year’s show needed urgent preparation, but the CEO was delaying it. The details about the performer, whether it was a pianist or a violinist, were still a secret.
“Pianist Park Hwi-moon? Or soprano Yoo Young-mi?”
“Could it be that person?”
“Who?”
“The one who’s been gaining international fame recently.”
“Ah, Oh Se-jin.”
Yura’s expression hardened at the name that popped out.
“Yes, pianist Oh Se-jin.”
“That’s a possibility.”
Jin Ho, her cousin and CEO, knew that Yura and Oh Se-jin had once been in a relationship.
And he also knew about the breakup that Yura wished to forget, an event that exacerbated her estrangement from her father and caused her much distress.
Therefore, it seemed unlikely that Jin Ho, who had the final say in casting, would hire Oh Se-jin.
“As long as it’s not that guy, I’ll support anyone.”
Desperately hoping it wasn’t Oh Se-jin, Yura entered the office. Her arrival scattered the employees, and Manager Jung approached her with a friendly smile.
“Manager, the CEO wants you to submit a progress report.”
“Got it.”
After placing the box in her desk drawer and picking up the prepared documents, Yura left the office again.
As she briskly walked to the elevator, the youngest team member, Ji-hye, watched her with narrow eyes of suspicion.
“Our manager definitely has a special relationship with the CEO.”
Hearing this, Sung-hoon, tapping his desk, defended Yura.
“Hey, don’t jump to conclusions. It’s common for managers to report directly to the CEO here.”
“That’s true. The CEO is a bit unusual.”
“Still, Manager Jin is the only one who isn’t scared of the CEO.”
Unable to let go of her suspicions, Ji-hye’s comment prompted agreeing glances from the employees. Manager Jung, knowing it was best to nip such idle gossip in the bud, hit the desk with a ruler.
“That’s enough gossip.”
“Okay.”
Following Manager Jung’s stern words, the employees returned to their tasks.
Jin Ho was flustered under Lee Hyun’s sharp gaze.
“What personal matter do you want to discuss?”
Unable to meet his gaze, Jin Ho asked hesitantly.
“How was your business trip to Europe?”
Casting for the concert was usually Jin Ho’s responsibility, but the actual negotiation with the performer was often done by the planning team manager.
In this context, Jin Ho’s secretive trip to Europe irked Lee Hyun, especially since Oh Se-jin, Yura’s ex-lover, was in the very country Jin Ho visited.
“It’s all for Songlim.”
“Excuses.”
Lee Hyun was displeased with the sudden reappearance of Oh Se-jin.
Surely Oh Se-jin knew Yura was at Songlim.
What was he planning?
“How long will you just watch Jin Yura like this?”
Lee Hyun wasn’t necessarily looking for a change, just gauging the right time.
Impatient, Jin Ho pressed on.
“You’ve been watching for years now.”
“I’ll handle my issues.”
“There could be another man who’ll take her away.”
Lee Hyun let out a sardonic laugh. The irony of the situation, considering who caused the mess, was not lost on him. As he was about to add a retort, a knock on the door interrupted him.
With a brief knock and Manager Kwon’s invitation to enter, Yura confidently stepped into the CEO’s office. Jin Ho, seated on the reception sofa, greeted her arrival with a familiar voice.
“Welcome, Manager Jin.”
