Last night, worried about Ji Yeon, Kang Hyun didn’t forget to call her even while he was working late at the office.
“Miss Ji Yeon, how are you feeling?”
When she heard Kang Hyun’s deep, pleasant voice, her heart fluttered.
“Thanks to you, I’m feeling much better, Director. Certainly, being busy with work keeps me from thinking about other things. Please push me harder in the future!”
Ji Yeon replied in an exaggerated and playful manner.
“Really? I see. Indeed, being busy tends to keep other thoughts away. Anyway, I’m glad. There’s a more intense schedule coming up, so I don’t need to make any additional plans. But I’m worried that dark circles might reach down to the waist for both Miss Ji Yeon and Deputy Joo Yeon……”
A soft chuckle came from Kang Hyun.
“Ah! Do our dark circles really show that much? That’s serious. We tried to cover them. It’s one of the biggest concerns for Deputy and me these days.”
“It’s a joke. You always look beautiful, Miss Ji Yeon. Don’t worry.”
“Chi…….”
“If I could, I’d like to take you right away to a wideopen beach like Gangneung or Sokcho, but the reality is that I can’t, which is heartbreaking. And there’s your schedule, too, and I have an online meeting until dawn, actually.”
“Even the thought is really appreciated, Director.”
“I wanted to hear you call my name, but I guess you can’t because it’s still working hours? I’m very disappointed.”
“Well, that’s……”
“Just tried to say it. I know you’re being careful. Call me a lot on the weekend, my name.”
“……Yes, I will.”
“Then, rest now.”
“Yes, see you tomorrow.”
After ending the call with Kang Hyun, Ji Yeon’s heart was significantly lighter, and she fell asleep without even realizing it.
As she arrived at the office, Deputy Joo Yeon greeted her with a worried face.
“Manager, are you here? How are you feeling? Your eyes still seem a little swollen. If you’re still having a hard time today, why didn’t you consider working from home?”
Touched by the sincere concern, Ji Yeon shook her head slightly.
“I’m completely fine now. Thank you for your concern, Deputy. My eyes are probably swollen because I ate something salty yesterday.”
Ji Yeon laughed jokingly.
“I’m really glad you’re feeling better.”
Because there was an interim review meeting with the sales department that day, the project team had been busier preparing the meeting materials for the past few days.
She would inevitably have to meet Cha Min Woo at the meeting, but as long as she was in this company, it was an unavoidable part, so Ji Yeon decided not to worry anymore.
Before the afternoon meeting, everyone gathered in the conference room to review the presentation materials and report on the advertisingrelated matters.
Kang Hyun, who had been working almost all night yesterday, was still full of energy.
“Director, you are still energetic today. I think you barely slept for a few hours after having an online meeting with the New York planning team past 3 a.m., but looking at your face, it seems like you had a full ten hours of sleep. I’m envious.”
Joo Yeon spoke as if she was genuinely envious.
The reason was that recently, both Joo Yeon and Ji Yeon’s faces had noticeably grown tired, which was a cause for concern.
“Mustn’t it be too exhausting for you? It seems like you’re busy like this every day lately.”
“It seems you are even busier because you’re also in charge of planning for the International Mobile Fair in Barcelona. For someone at your level, Director, you could just delegate the work to the staff below and only give final approval, but you are so thorough and ambitious, you take care of everything. I heard rumors that your project team is also extremely busy due to a tight schedule. I wonder if you are taking any supplements while working…”
Listening to Joo Yeon’s words, Ji Yeon was also worried about Kang Hyun.
On second thought, Kang Hyun was always the one comforting her and trying to create good times, but it seemed like she had only received and never given anything in return.
‘I should treat him to a meal over the weekend.’
Ji Yeon decided to ask about Kang Hyun’s schedule and if possible, she planned to treat him to food she had made herself.
“Now, as you know, today’s afternoon meeting is for the interim review with the Sales Department. I’ve checked all the materials you’ve updated, and I’ve noted a few parts that need further updates in the file and sent you all an email. Please check it once the meeting is over.”
As usual, Kang Hyun was second to none when it came to being thorough and meticulous.
“You mentioned there are updates in the advertising planning department, right, Manager Eun Ji Yeon?”
