Poof.
Startled, Jae In barely managed to hold back the hot coffee from spurting out. It felt like her entire mouth was scalding.
“This is nonsense! Earlier, what Park Team Leader said was correct. Stop blabbering and get back to work.”
“But…”
“Forget it, forget it. The team leader really said that… Ow!”
Honestly, nothing about this is pleasant.
As Jae In shivered, Yeon Ji blinked her round eyes and asked, “Why? Even though the team leader can be eccentric, he’s incredibly handsome and cool.”
“Yeon Ji, you’re still young and don’t understand how men are. A considerate man who puts your heart at ease is the best kind of man.”
Upon Jae In’s firm words, Yeon Ji nodded obediently.
“Well, yeah. No matter how goodlooking he is, how can you live with a man who feels like walking on thin ice when you’re together, right?”
Sigh.
Jae In’s breath caught at the sharp gaze in Do Hyuk’s eyes, which came to mind.
That’s true. Let’s live and then talk about it.
Jae In was overwhelmed by worries that surged like waves, all because of bringing up unnecessary conversations.
Turn off your mind and focus on work.
If I’m busy, I’ll think less.
“Shall we go up now? Assistant Manager Kang said he cleared the room for just the two of us.”
“But, I think I know why Assistant Manager Kang said that to Manager Seo.”
As Yeon Ji got up from her seat, she spoke.
“He’s jealous.”
“Jealous?”
“Yes. The team leader said he had an important matter in the morning and called Manager Seo. Assistant Manager Kang was glaring at the team leader’s office for so long, I thought laser beams were coming out of his eyes.”
“There’s nothing to be jealous of. Being taken advantage of all the time, what’s enviable about that?”
Yeon Ji tilted her head.
“That’s a bit strange.”
“What is?”
“Whenever I observe, it seems like the team leader treats Manager Seo differently and more comfortably. Assistant Manager Kang probably gets more frustrated because of that.”
So, could Assistant Manager Kang’s annoying behavior be because of the team leader?
Jae In was taken aback and lost her words.
“Treats her comfortably! If he does it twice, he’ll be in trouble.”
“Well, that’s how it seems to me.”
Yeon Ji shrugged her shoulders and smiled brightly.
“Wait!”
Jae In dashed towards the elevator that was about to close and urgently shouted.
It was 5 minutes before quitting time, and during the gap when Do Hyuk went into a meeting and left his seat unattended, she wanted to secretly escape and enjoy her last bit of free time.
Jae In’s office was on the 20th floor of the 25story building, so if she missed the elevator once, she would have to wait for a long time.
If she happened to run into Do Hyuk during that time, she might be forcibly held back and end up having to work overtime.
Fortunately, Jae In’s desperation seemed to get through, and the elevator doors slowly reopened.
“Thank you!”
Jae In quickly jumped into the elevator, gasping for breath, and recognized the kind angel who showed her kindness.
However.
“Aaaah!”
Jae In screamed as if she had seen a ghost and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Do Hyuk was looking down at her with an expressionless face.
Somehow, things were going too smoothly.
“Wait! The elevator doors haven’t completely closed yet.”
If that’s the case, there’s still hope. Let’s try to make it through the hallway for now.
Jae In pressed the open button urgently and spoke.
“Oh my? I forgot and left my cell phone behind.”
The narrowing gap of the doors widened again.
However, before Jae In could lift her foot, the elevator doors began to close again.
Do Hyuk’s finger, pressing the close button firmly, caught Jae In’s desperate gaze.
“Oh, Team Leader, I was going to get my cell phone….”
Jae In trembled as she pressed the open button with her shaking hand and spoke.
Then, a chilling remark struck the back of Jae In’s head.
“Is what you’re holding in your hand something to eat?”
At Do Hyuk’s words, Jae In, who looked at her own hand, dropped what she was holding in surprise.
What was it?
The cell phone she had mentioned she was going to get.
Do Hyuk looked down at her with pitiful eyes.
What a fool!
Why did she have to make an excuse about her cell phone?
She could have said she went to get documents, a wallet, or even a pen.
While Jae In struggled with embarrassment and selfdisgust, the elevator doors closed tightly.
“Haha. Get yourself together.”
Jae In picked up her cell phone and tried to laugh coolly.
Do Hyuk, who rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, mumbled.
“There are still 5 minutes left….”
“Oh, I’m sorry! I’m not feeling well….”
“Are you feeling sick somewhere?”
Do Hyuk narrowed his eyes and approached Jae In, examining her face carefully.
“What, are you trying to confirm if I’m faking it now?”
Jae In replied in a voice that sounded as if she were crawling with a needle in her throat.
“Well, I think I’ll be fine if I just rest a bit.”
“Good to hear. But….”
At that moment.
With a ding sound, the elevator doors opened wide on the 12th floor.
