Kang Ju Won is true to his character.
Amidst the buzzing atmosphere, only Hyeju nodded her head.
“Anyway, that’s why I’ve returned to being a Kang Seung Won fan. What about you, Hyeju unnie?”
As Hyeju entered the break room, everyone’s gaze shifted to her. Hyeju coolly retorted, pretending to be uninterested.
“Why are there only two candidates?”
“Because there aren’t any other suitable men. Married men, workaholics, those with explosive personalities, those with cars or purses… They’re all out of the picture. So, there are only two left.”
Ah, so there are really no such characters in our company.
It’s becoming even more apparent how crucial Ju Won and Seung Won are.
“There’s only Hyeju unnie who hasn’t voted. It’s really intense right now. The outcome depends on her one vote!”
“Is there a prize or something?”
“People who voted for the winning side collect money to treat everyone to coffee.”
Meanwhile, Ruby whispered subtly.
“You’re going to vote for Kang Seung Won, right? You two are really close friends.”
Hyeju glanced at Dahee reflexively. Dahee pretended to be nonchalant, washing her cup, but Hyeju could tell that her ears perked up in this direction.
Hyeju deliberately answered in a loud voice, as if inviting her to listen.
“I’m voting for Kang Ju Won, the president.”
“Whaaat? Really?”
“Why are you so surprised?”
Hyeju retorted sharply at Ruby, who acted as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Kang Ju Won, the president, is perfectly fine. He has an outstanding face, great physique, and earns a lot of money. With that, can’t he cover his personality?”
“Hyeju unnie, I didn’t see it that way. It’s not like anyone is going to eat his face, so why Kang Ju Won?!”
Crack! The glass door of the break room opened at that moment.
“Oh, it’s not just about having a standout face, right?”
“Wow, President!”
As Ju Won put his hand in his pocket and stood up, the employees quickly got up. Ju Won glanced around the break room with an indifferent gaze, then took out a bottle of carbonated water.
“Take a good look. It’s not just about having a particularly striking face. If you look closely, there are plenty of qualities that are worth appreciating.”
It’s unfortunate, but strangely convincing.
Feeling pathetic for quickly succumbing to it, Hyeju let out a sigh. Then, she glanced sideways and realized the expressions of the standing employees.
“They all have the same thought.”
As the employees watched Ju Won leisurely closing the refrigerator door, none of them could speak up. Even if they set aside his position as the CEO, Ju Won had a peculiar sense of intimidation. Ruby, unable to bear the awkwardness, poked Hyeju’s side and whispered.
“Say something. You’re the closest to the CEO among us.”
“We’re not close at all.”
“But you’re buddies, right?”
“Ruby is the buddy, not me.”
“If you’re buddies, shouldn’t you be close?”
“You said we were buddies earlier…!”
Eek, don’t push. Don’t push!
Hyeju exerted as much strength as possible in her legs to resist, but Ruby showed no mercy. The force pushing against her increased, causing Hyeju to sway like a paper doll and accidentally bump her head against Ju Won’s chest.
And then…
“Ouch!”
Something hard unexpectedly touched her lips.
When Hyeju noticed the lipstick clearly imprinted on Ju Won’s immaculate white shirt, their gazes intertwined in midair.
…Am I shaking right now?
