That means the successful completion of transactions targeting actual customers solely depends on the business team.
Based on the data that had been transferred from the marketing department, Hyeju sent proposals to several companies. Among them was Taeyang Food.
It was a research proposal regarding “Customer Factors and Export Country Preferences in Selecting Seasoned Seaweed.” Since it was mostly expected that proposals would be ignored, Hyeju didn’t have high hopes. However, she received a response from Taeyang Food.
And it was even inquiring about an annual contract!
Hyeju almost bowed deeply right there. If she managed to secure an annual contract with Taeyang Food, it would take care of 10% of the business team’s quota for this year in one fell swoop. It was such an important and significant contract.
“Oh, finally, an opportunity has come! Nice!”
Excited, Hyeju began writing the report. Since it was preferable to expedite major new contract cases, it was set up for direct reporting to the CEO.
Thus, the recipient was Juwon.
“[Report regarding the new contract with Taeyang Food Co., Ltd.]”
Starting with that title, she attached general information about Taeyang Food and future plans. Ending the email with a request for a prompt response to facilitate smooth contract progress, mentioning that Taeyang Food expressed their desire for a meeting in the near future.
“Okay, great!”
Hyeju swiftly sent the email and clapped her hands together before stretching.
“What expression will Kang Juwon make when he receives this email? He must think I’m a competent talent, right? If they asked for such a contract, they should give some incentives, shouldn’t they?”
Hyeju, extremely satisfied with the achievement she had personally worked hard for, couldn’t get out of her excited state for a while. Her colleagues sitting next to her were also delighted upon hearing the news and cheered for the successful contract.
“Did he read it?”
With a pounding heart, Hyeju clicked on her mailbox.
[Read]Seeing that the email she sent to Juwon was marked as “Received,” she couldn’t help but wear a triumphant expression.
Since he had seen the email, a call would come soon. It wasn’t just a minor contract; it was an annual contract, so as the representative, she couldn’t ignore it.
As Hyeju carefully reread the email, filled with a sense of accomplishment, her eyes suddenly stopped at one point.
“……Huh?”
She felt a discrepancy in the email.
Something seemed off.
Hyeju blinked her eyes and looked at the email again.
In an instant, astonishment spread through her eyes.
“Wha… What?!”
The last sentence of the meticulously crafted email was written like this:
[Before the meeting with Taeyang Food, there are things to discuss, so please arrange a quick ‘회식’.]…’회식’?!
It said ‘회식’ (company dinner)!
Like food!
As if a sweet potato got stuck in her throat, she couldn’t breathe properly.
“Ugh…”
Hyeju became a sobbing mess as she stared at the monitor. Making such a mistake in an official email was the first time it happened in her four years of employment.
No, this wasn’t just a mistake; it was a major accident. She could almost hear Juwon’s laughter mocking her after he read the email.
“It was a rare chance to tease Juwon a little, but why did I have to make a typo… Why such a glaring typo!”
Hyeju stomped her foot under the desk.
A soundless roar spread beneath her feet.
Closing time.
Contrary to her expectations, there was no response from Juwon.
Even though it was written as ‘회식’ (company dinner), it was clear in context that it should have been ‘회신’ (reply), but there was no separate response. Hyeju, anxiously waiting for the email to arrive, stood up as soon as the clock struck six.
“I should escape quickly. What’s going on here?”
She considered sending a separate message clarifying that it was a reply, or going to the representative’s office to check, but it seemed best not to face the situation at the moment.
Considering Kang Juwon’s personality, it was highly likely that he would tease her. It would be a relief if he didn’t mock her to her face.
Still, given the context, she had written it to be understood, so when the time came, he would contact her.
“I’ll go first!”
After greeting her colleagues who were still working, Hyeju grabbed her bag and left. She nervously scanned her surroundings, as if searching for Juwon near the elevator, giving off a vibe similar to a mission of Agent 007.
Only after safely boarding the elevator did Hyeju breathe a sigh of relief.
“Phew, I finally escaped.”
In truth, even though she moved stealthily like a cat burglar, she still felt a sense of guilt. Why was she worrying so much? It was just a small typo, but it seemed like she had to run away from the company because of it.
Hyeju knew the answer herself. It was because the other party was Juwon.
She had already created a few embarrassing incidents in front of Juwon. The eventful history that started with a Pocky stick was connected to her underwear and knitted clothing.
If you looked closely, it was true that most of the mistakes were her own fault, but the moment they became intertwined with Juwon, they turned into a “disaster.” It was like some kind of catalyst. It escalated like a chemical reaction.
“So, for now, avoiding is the best solution.”
Hyeju made a resolution and quietly left the lobby.
As she opened the glass door, a refreshing breeze rushed in. The feeling of liberation after work, which anyone who’s employed could relate to, surged within her. Straightening her shoulders and taking in a deep breath, Hyeju took a step forward, toward the outside.
And then another step.
Was it just an illusion that she felt a strong gaze as if there was a presence somewhere?
“No, it couldn’t be. I’m sure I was the only one who came down in the elevator….”
For some reason, feeling a chilling sensation, Hyeju lowered her head. In her deeply hunched posture, she could see someone’s shoes.
Tap, tap.
A pristine pair of shoes stepped forward, one foot after another, without a speck of dust. At a glance, it was clear that the legs were long. Hyeju pretended not to see and briskly walked on. But…
“Where are you rushing off to?”
A voice came from above her head, precisely targeting her. With a low voice mixed with laughter, Hyeju’s head lifted up.
“Uh… Director?”
“You came out as soon as it struck six. You must have been in a hurry.”
“Why would I be in a hurry? Did you wait for me, by any chance?”
“For a company dinner.”
Tap, tap.
“And let’s go as soon as possible.”
Hyeju stared blankly at the corporate card wedged between Juwon’s fingers.
A gust of wind blew for a moment.
Juwon’s hair fluttered slightly, revealing his wellshaped forehead.
“Let’s go, for the company dinner.”
He smiled.
Thump.
Her heart trembled.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
