“Team leader is a bit late,”
Jaein murmured while looking at the wall clock.
It was past 7 o’clock.
To not be late for the home party at Minwoo and Seoyeon’s house, they had to leave by 7:30.
While Jaein was preparing to go to the home party, taking the fruit tart and wine she had prepared in advance, and Dohyuk was finishing his work to come and pick her up, Jaein felt nervous for the first time introducing a boyfriend to Seoyeon.
Moreover, that boyfriend was none other than the team leader who had been holding on to Seoyeon, complaining, “At this rate, I won’t survive the removal.”
Seoyeon had insisted that Dohyuk come early because she was so curious about him.
“I might be late at this rate. I should contact the team leader again.”
Just as Jaein was about to press the call button, a sudden silence was broken, and the familiar sound of the intercom was heard.
Thinking it might be Dohyuk, she rushed to check the intercom screen. To her surprise, Sungjun’s face appeared.
“To give Director Kim work until the last day, Chairman is being too much.”
Opening the door to greet Sungjun warmly, Jaein asked, “Director Kim, what’s going on?”
As soon as Sungjun saw Jaein, he stiffened his expression and bowed his head suddenly.
“I’m truly sorry.”
“What? What’s wrong?”
In front of Jaein, who didn’t understand and asked again, a well-dressed old man with white hair and an air of charisma appeared.
Even at a glance, his charismatic gaze and unusual energy were evident.
“Seo Jaein, this is the person who will be Dohyuk’s father.”
“What?”
Jaein’s heart sank.
If it’s Dohyuk’s team leader’s father…
Is it Chairman Cha Dae-san?
“Oh, hello.”
When Jaein looked at him with surprise, Sungjun averted his gaze to the floor.
At that moment.
Jaein had a premonition that she was facing the vague and feared situation.
He came.
A chilling feeling instantly covered Jaein’s entire body.
Chairman Cha passed by the frozen Jaein with an expression that revealed nothing but a penetrating gaze, and he said a word.
“Let’s talk inside for now.”
Dohyuk’s appearance when he gets older, enough to think such a thing.
Chairman Cha, with a gaze that revealed nothing of his inner thoughts, stared piercingly at Jaein without saying a word.
Sungjun also stood next to Chairman Cha, keeping his mouth shut like a shadow.
In the heavy silence that pressed on her chest, Jaein silently held her breath.
Finally, Chairman Cha calmly opened his mouth.
“Seo Jaein, do I need to explain why I came?”
“…Yes.”
Jaein replied with difficulty, her throat constricted.
Chairman Cha, smirking slightly, said,
“I got properly caught by Dohyuk this time. I’ve never been bothered by a woman issue before, so I trusted him. But he’s been living together with her in one house.”
“Chairman, it’s not like that…”
Jaein tried to explain the situation but closed her mouth.
Because there was a clause in the contract that absolutely forbade disclosure, but also because she recalled the words Dohyuk said when she eavesdropped in his office for the first time.
“Whatever it takes, we must stop Chairman Cha. The chairman must never find out. You know his personality, like a dictator. He might collapse without a clue.”
Explaining the situation of Dohyuk and Jaein living together turned out to be too complicated.
From the story of Jaein being misunderstood as a spy to the events caused by Chairman Cha Junghwan.
If, by any chance, Chairman Cha were to collapse due to some unnecessary words, it would be a huge problem.
Moreover, although it wasn’t Jaein’s intention, the ‘woman problem’ of Dohyuk had become a reality, leaving her speechless.
“We know everything, so don’t think of making excuses.”
When Chairman Cha gestured, Sungjun took out a black file from his document bag and handed it to Jaein.
In Sungjun’s eyes, who met hers briefly, there was a light of apology and self-blame.
With trembling hands, Jaein opened the file and was shocked.
“This is…!”
Inside the file were photos taken without their knowledge, detailing Dohyuk and Jaein’s daily routines, including commuting, the bowling alley, and even the hospital and tteokbokki restaurant they visited last night.
A few days ago, on Christmas Eve night, Chairman Cha, upon hearing from Director Jo about Dohyuk being in a comprehensive hospital in Gwangju, ordered a separate investigation.
And today, he received the feared results and called Sungjun.
Before Jaein could fully absorb the shock, Chairman Cha’s cold voice echoed in her ears.
“I don’t know how that guy, who only knew how to work, got involved with her, but let’s end it here.”
Involved? End?
Jaein looked at Chairman Cha with an unjust feeling.
“Hey, Chairman, I…”
Interrupting Jaein, Chairman Cha threw something onto the table.
It was a thick white envelope.
“Seo Jaein, I don’t want to hear a long explanation. Leave this house right now. With that money, you can find a place to live and still have some left.”
Jaein’s mind went blank at the sudden announcement. Following that, an unbearable sense of shame enveloped her entire body.
