Myeong Ok looked at Tae Sang with a dumbfounded expression. He had never really treated her like a mother, but he had never been this brazen either.
As she stuttered, searching for words to say, Tae Sang slowly opened his mouth.
“… It’s hard to hear because it’s noisy.”
“Ah, is that so? It was just a report that Executive Kim had contacted the cabin crew. Apparently, it was the flight team that manages the schedules… Judging by the fact that he had his secretaries make the call, it might not be an important matter.”
Tae Sang gripped his cell phone, furrowing his brows menacingly. With his pitchblack pupils added to his distorted gaze, the atmosphere turned hostile in an instant.
Unconsciously, Myeong Ok stepped back, startled. Both Chairman Cha and her late husband had a certain cold aura, common to the Cha family men.
“I understand.”
While needlessly adjusting her clothing and averting her gaze, Tae Sang succinctly ended the call.
When his gaze turned to her, Myeong Ok raised her chin as if nothing was wrong.
“Do you see me now?”
“I’ve seen you from the start.”
“That’s incredibly embarrassing.”
“No need for such words.”
No matter how much she jeered, all she got back was cold disregard.
Myeong Ok despised this side of Tae Sang. It felt as if she was dancing alone in front of someone who wouldn’t even play along. It was as if she were one of his underlings.
She glared at him, her eyes narrowed, and he calmly opened his mouth.
“I’m busy, so I’ll go ahead.”
Tae Sang walked past Myeong Ok with an indifferent expression.
“Watch your actions. Do you know how much shame you’ve brought to our group recently?”
“That’s good.”
“What? What do you mean by that?”
“Isn’t it a good thing that I’m embarrassing the group? You seem to enjoy it… Ah…”
Tae Sang had already stopped in front of the elevator. Without even looking back at Myeong Ok who followed him, he pressed the open button.
“You prefer to directly smear my face.”
“Oh my, what are you talking about? I didn’t smear anything. If anyone hears, they would think I’m spreading weird rumors.”
Struggling to suppress a smirk, Myeong Ok managed to pull off a hurt expression.
“After all, with psychiatric consultations and all kinds of interrogations… It would be even weirder if rumors didn’t spread. Do you even know how anxious the shareholders are?”
“…”
Ignoring Myeong Ok’s noisy rambling, Tae Sang entered the elevator. He pressed the button for the basement and slowly turned around. His provocative gaze was directed at Myeong Ok.
“…What, what? What’s with that look?”
Towards the end, his chin was getting sharper, hand stabbed into his pocket. Add to that, his eyes slightly upturned while his head was bowed.
His figure seen beyond the open door was as oppressive as the protagonist in a noir film. Without realizing it, Myeongok swallowed her dry spit.
Soon after, Taesang opened his mouth.
“If you consider the amount of problems, your son is worse than me.”
“What? You, you…!”
Then, as if it had been waiting, the door closed swiftly. Myeongok pressed the open button belatedly, but the elevator was already descending towards the basement.
To think, relying on grandfather’s support, even when her mind was in a mess.
She spat out all sorts of harsh words and took out her anger on the innocent elevator button.
Late at night, Gimpo Airport arrival floor. Having to endure the notoriously tiring quick turn flight two days in a row, Dajeong staggered out of the arrival hall like a zombie.
Quick turn, the schedule of arriving at a destination and returning without staying.
This schedule, boasting frequent takeoffs and landings and brutally long duty hours, was the number one flight that crew members hated the most.
“Sigh…”
It was a sudden schedule change. It was just an excuse when she was leaving the orphanage, but after that, the schedule started to change like crazy.
Dajeong held back the desire to lie down on the airport floor and headed towards the bus boarding area.
Beep.
As she dragged her feet, she felt a slight vibration above her bag. When she checked her mobile phone, a notification from the schedule announcement app caught her eye.
Your schedule has changed. Please confirm.
“Again?”
After checking the message, Dajeong let out a groan without realizing.
What changed again, and how? With an uneasy heart, she opened the app, and as expected, long and tiring flights were filled to the brim in her calendar.
Suddenly, the words of the meaningful man came back to her ears.
‘Even though you don’t have abilities, you have pride, Mr. Kim.’
Until yesterday, it was just ‘no way’. Today it was ‘maybe it could be’. But after being killed with confirmation like this, there was no room for doubt.
It was clear that someone at the level of a manager was petty enough to be taking revenge from behind.
“Ha, haha….”
