“Haha, it seems like the CEO values Yoon Ga-eul a lot, providing such kindness.”
All eyes turned toward Kitaek.
In response to Kang Young-kyu’s words, Kitaek, who had briefly looked through Ga-eul with a serious gaze, smiled politely.
“Yes. Lately, I’ve been watching her with affection.”
‘Watching her…?’
“As an artist.”
Upon Kitaek’s response, Kang Young-kyu, who had momentarily smiled in response to the seriousness, widened his eyes and glanced briefly at Ga-eul.
Having momentarily observed Ga-eul with a serious gaze, Kang Young-kyu soon responded with a gentle smile to Kitaek’s words.
“I see. I completely understand why the CEO values her. As demonstrated in this exhibition, Ga-eul’s paintings have the power to captivate people.”
“Yes, that’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on Yoon Ga-eul.”
Kang Young-kyu, carrying his bag to leave the office, extended another final farewell to Ga-eul.
“Well then, Ga-eul, see you next time. I really enjoyed the interview today.”
“Yes, me too. Take care, Reporter Kang Young-kyu. I hope to see you again sometime.”
“Yes. I hope so too. And… we’ll probably meet again soon.”
Ga-eul smiled warmly. Her smile felt genuinely comforting to those who saw it.
It resembled the feeling he had when looking at her paintings. The impression of meeting her in person matched the experience of viewing her artwork.
Moreover,
It seems that the young artist’s paintings have firmly captured the attention of the CEO.
The premonition that her paintings would not leave the main spot in the gallery had now turned into a certainty.
Given that she was the one he pointed out, it was obvious that her paintings would continue to take the spotlight in this gallery.
Kang Young-kyu, after seriously observing Ga-eul as the artist he should keep an eye on, smiled again with a slightly embarrassed expression, then left the office.
It was good to leave a positive impression on a face he would continue to see for a while.
Two days later, Ga-eul bit her lower lip as she read the title of the published article.
“The Emergence of a Genius Artist? Yoon Ga-eul of TS Gallery”
The content of the article that caught the attention with a slightly embarrassing and powerful title was as follows.
A newcomer artist who monopolized the main spot in the exhibition held at TS Gallery at the end of the first half of the year, setting a record for a complete sell-out on the same day, has emerged. Surprisingly, this was her second exhibition. (Omitted) It turns out that she is the illegitimate daughter of Yoon Dae-ho, a painter who once captivated the Korean art scene, and her painting skills have improved significantly, reminiscent of her father. Unlike her father, her main strength lies in the warmth that can be felt…
Along with Kang Young-kyu’s personal opinions, the article contained well-edited excerpts from the interview with Ga-eul.
Without realizing it, Ga-eul quickly left the annex after glancing seriously at the article.
After reading the article, she felt embarrassed about her own skills. The article had emphasized her too much, making her feel even more embarrassed.
Suddenly, the desire to show better paintings in the next exhibition surged. When Ga-eul reached the front of the main building, drawing book in hand, she encountered Chairman Baek.
Ga-eul stopped and respectfully bowed her head to Baek. Then, she greeted him politely.
“Chairman, hello.”
“Hmm, yes. Ga-eul.”
Baek turned his gaze to Ga-eul after her greeting and casually acknowledged her.
As Ga-eul, who was about to pass by after just exchanging greetings, blinked her eyes and looked at him, he suddenly smiled. It was probably because the gaze directed at her lingered for a long time.
‘Why is he like this…?’
Unable to endure that gaze any longer, Ga-eul eventually asked the question first.
“Um… Chairman? Do you have something to say…?”
Before Ga-eul could finish her sentence, Baek-ho, who had been silent until now, spoke briefly.
“I heard about the gallery news. I saw the article.”
“Oh, yes.”
She received compliments in the article that came out today.
“Good job.”
“Yes, thank you.”
It was praise she hadn’t heard in a long time.
At that moment, Ki-tae was reviewing a report that listed plans for the second half of the year until the end of the year at the department store.
Tap. A secretary, who entered his quiet office, glanced at Ki-tae and skillfully reported.
“Team Leader, an article about Yoon Ga-eul just came out.”
Was today the day?
“Yes. I know, go ahead and check it.”
Reports about Ga-eul were to be reported immediately.
Putting down the plan he had been looking at with a slightly furrowed brow, Ki-tae followed the link provided by the secretary’s message already in his messenger.
Clicking on the link, he found an article about Ga-eul with her picture. A gentle smile appeared on Ki-tae’s face at her awkwardly smiling expression.
‘Cute Yoon Ga-eul.’
As Ki-tae scrolled through the screen, he smiled with satisfaction.
Tap.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
