Knock, knock, after the sound, Director Jang came in carrying a tray of whole wheat sandwich and grapefruit juice.
“I prepared a simple sandwich.”
Tae Seo gestured to the desk without looking up from his documents. Then Director Jang put down the tray where Tae Seo had pointed.
Tae Seo took a bite from the sandwich with his big hand, cleanly.
“Hmm…”
Crunch crunch, only the sound of chewing vegetables stacked in the sandwich filled the office.
Director Jang glanced at Tae Seo, who was staring at the documents in silence.
He was a man who ate a mere sandwich as if posing for a photoshoot. His sophisticated way of eating without spilling a single breadcrumb was impressive. Moreover, his jawline, becoming more prominent each time he chewed, was breathtaking.
Tae Seo, who had finished the sandwich cut into triangles in four bites, raised his thumb. Then, as if wiping off the sauce smeared around his mouth, he sucked it between his lips.
That was indeed the epitome of art. It was enough to make Director Jang, on the verge of his halfcentury, blush and cough awkwardly.
“……Would you like one?”
“No, thank you.”
“Wow, I didn’t know you would investigate this thoroughly. I just threw some information, and in just a week. Director Jang, you are quite an intimidating person, aren’t you?”
“……I just did as you ordered.”
“It’s a compliment. You found out not only her recent actions, but also things I didn’t know. Well done.”
Tae Seo mumbled as he picked up another sandwich.
The report he was looking at was a personal matter that he had urgently asked Director Jang to check the day after he met Jo Yu Ri.
“Please look into Yoon Jae In. Where she is living now, what she is doing, primarily her recent activities.”
“……I would appreciate a bit more explanation.”
“She’s about thirty years old in Korean age, a woman. Her biological mother’s name is Yoon Se Na. If you dig deeper, you’ll probably find Representative Jo Dae Hoon from Hyunyang Construction, and it will probably give you a headache. I will write down a few clues related to it.”
“By when should I prepare this?”
“The sooner, the better. Show me your capability this time.”
“Yes, understood.”
“It’s a personal favor. I ask for your understanding in advance.”
“……”
“It will be more difficult to investigate quietly. But I will compensate you for your efforts.”
Upon Tae Seo’s final comment, Director Jang understood the underlying intention of her boss ordering this investigation to keep it from reaching the ears of Gang Shin Jae, the chairman of the Gangseon Group.
Tae Seo was not the type to ask his secretary for personal favors. Especially on a weekend, Director Jang had to muster all her connections and abilities to delve into the details about Yoon Jae In, something quite unthinkable.
She faced several obstacles during the investigation process. Documents that should have been there were missing, and the people she was supposed to meet had vanished. Still, Director Jang did not give up.
She had been serving the main family of Gangseon Group for about 25 years. It was by no means an easy time. She mobilized all her abilities.
As a result, in a short period, she even found out Yoon Jae In’s shoe size, satisfying her boss. She was indeed a legendary secretary known in the business circles.
“She recently entered Korea. Moreover, near Hwami Apartment, she was right under our nose, wasn’t she?”
Yoon Jae In seemed to have recently set up a yoga studio on the third floor of a building right in front of Hwami Apartment in Gangnam. The director of the yoga studio was listed as a friend, but all the funding came from Yoon Jae In.
“She’s fearless, isn’t she? Starting a business and putting someone else out front. What would she do if she got stabbed in the back?”
“The studio’s director seems to have a closer relationship than even blood siblings.”
“Even between siblings, there can be backstabbing. Money does that.”
Tae Seo neatly finished his sandwich and wiped his hands on a damp cloth. He then took an ice pack and applied it to his forehead. His gaze was still fixed on the documents.
“Huh, it wasn’t Director Ji Seung Hee who made her an orphan, but Chairman Jo Dae Hoon? Mr. Jo, you’re quite something.”
For some reason, Yoon Jae In, who had been living quietly with her biological mother Yoon Se Na in Chicago, came alone to Korea when she was fifteen years old.
Jo Dae Hoon had legally declared his own daughter, who had come to Korea, as an orphan. And she was disguised as a student with nowhere to go, supported by a foundation run by his wife, Ji Seung Hee.
It was such a clever disguise that even Director Jang almost fell for it.
“Having an unrelated girl living and studying in his house for over seven years, it already smells fishy. Has the media been quiet about this?”
“Upon verification, it appears that there were two more students living in the house around the same time. Both of them were indeed students sponsored by the foundation.”
“Wow, he really covered his tracks.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
