Ye Seul could not completely deny this emotion.
He didn’t know about Baek Si Heon, but at least Ye Seul did.
Worried about seeming inexperienced, Ye Seul put on a calm façade, but she swallowed several times to quell her pounding heart, biting her lower lip in the process.
His lips had touched here.
It was a fleeting moment, but it felt vividly etched in her memory.
“Let’s say I took the damage, not Chloe.”
“Do you mean Mr. Baek Si Heon suffered the damage?”
Si Heon gestured Ye Seul to come closer and moved aside from her seat.
Ye Seul moved closer to Si Heon and bent over to see the screen.
She snickered at Si Heon’s sharp nose as he looked at the screen. When she saw his lips closed in concentration underneath, she consciously shifted her gaze to the screen.
“Did you find the culprit?”
“I have something to show you.”
As she got closer to Si Heon, the kiss from earlier surfaced and she swallowed her saliva with a gulp.
She bluffed in front of Si Heon as if nothing happened, but Ye Seul was shaken by the fact that she was the one who wanted Si Heon first.
When she thought about the bet with Si Heon, she shouldn’t show these feelings.
“They will come looking for your design.”
The CCTV footage paused.
“Did you hear about the new CCTV installed in Chloe’s sample room from Sebastian? We would have handed over the security data to Ceedo… The story was confidential and was not shared with the team members.”
Ye Seul recalled the thick pile of documents that Sebastian had shown her.
As her trip to Korea was confirmed, she had skimmed the content while considering Baek Si Heon’s proposal, so there was no way she could remember it.
“Products developed here are jointly owned with Ceedo. So, we also have a surveillance purpose not to use the things that came out as samples in the sample room arbitrarily.”
“Huh. I feel like I’ve become a lab rat.”
“I should have told you about the blind spots of CCTV.”
Ye Seul pushed out her lips as if Si Heon’s joke didn’t make her feel good.
The screen showed a person entering the sample room.
It was the time when she had gone out to buy materials, misunderstanding the meeting time in the afternoon.
She sighed at her mistake of leaving the notebook casually spread out on the desk.
“I’m sorry. I should have managed it more…”
“It’s not your fault, Ms. Ye Seul. It means that our security is lax in many ways.”
Ye Seul closely watched the woman with short hair taking a picture of the notebook.
“Well, fortunately, it’s not a Ceedo Core team member.”
Ye Seul stared intently at the blurry face of the woman reflected in the footage.
“The employee quit BaekSong Bakery last week. It seems they left something behind when they resigned, and asked a receptionist, with whom they had some acquaintance, for a favor. A staff member they were close with lent them a temporary security card, and it seems the reception desk even concealed the visit log in case they were questioned about it.”
“Why did they sell the company’s information they worked for?”
“We plan to meet directly and find out more.”
Ye Seul nodded her head.
“Will this woman be punished?”
“Not yet… If they honestly confess about their relationship with Petit Chocolat, we might consider leniency.”
“That’s generous.”
“It’s not about being generous, but being reasonable. I want to eliminate any chance of only this person being punished and Petit Chocolat being seen as innocent.”
Ye Seul clenched her fist and glared at the screen.
“We plan to collect evidence and sue Petit Chocolat.”
“Do you have a chance of winning?”
“We have to do our best.”
Si Heon turned off the screen and turned to Ye Seul.
“I will find Chloe’s Bûche de Noël.”
Ye Seul felt reassured as if Si Heon was on her side.
Human treachery.
Until yesterday, Si Heon was annoying, but a warm feeling surged at the fact that Si Heon believed in Ye Seul in his own way.
“Thank you.”
“I found the culprit, so it might be difficult for Chloe to reward me.”
Si Heon gently looked at Ye Seul.
As their eyes met, her heart that had calmed down started to beat fast again.
The sound of her heartbeat throbbed in her ears.
What if she was sick?
Ever since Si Heon moved the mouse, all her nerves were focused on his body touching hers slightly every time she leaned in to see the screen.
Everywhere she felt Si Heon’s presence felt as if it was on fire.
Ye Seul brushed her chest.
“You deserved the reward.”
“I would like to give more.”
Si Heon’s naughty hand brushed against Ye Seul’s cheek that was pulling back.
Ye Seul was so flustered she could only lick her lips.
Gurgle.
The instinct that was caught off guard signaled that it was time to eat.
“Ms. Ye Seul, shall we go for a meal?”
Si Heon held back his laughter and covered his mouth with his pretty hand.
Why at this time… embarrassing. Ye Seul blushed and waved her hand.
“No… I mean. Just a moment.”
Ye Seul brought a chocolate from the sample room in a hurry.
“Mr. Si Heon, Seo Rin asked me to give this to you.”
The next woman who might take a seat next to Si Heon, Ye Seul.
“Miss Seo Rin. I will deliver this to the CEO myself.”
Ye Seul did not give Seo Rin the chance to deliver the chocolates she made herself, immaturely.
“Does Miss Seo Rin do well?”
Baek Si Heon met Ye Seul’s eyes with a bow of his head.
“Um … well … she works hard.”
He stammered, feeling uncomfortable turning into a sycophant.
“Miss Seo Rin is smooth and good at reading people’s feelings. So, I sent it hoping it would help with your work.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Seo Rin being smooth and good at reading people’s feelings was likely limited to Baek Si Heon.
And this man seemed to be completely oblivious to Seo Rin’s feelings.
Ye Seul, feeling hungry, picked up a cherry bomb from the chocolate case.
Baek Si Heon bit the chocolate that was between Ye Seul’s thumb and index finger.
“Eh? This……”
Ye Seul looked surprised, about to protest.
“Didn’t you intend to feed me?”
“Of course not. Besides, don’t you have hands?”
For a moment, Ye Seul’s eyes widened and her mouth shut.
“Eh!”
Baek Si Heon grabbed the chocolate and stuffed it into Ye Seul’s mouth.
The sweetness spread throughout her mouth.
When Ye Seul looked at Baek Si Heon with rolled eyes, he swept his lips with his tongue as if savoring.
Ye Seul stared at Baek Si Heon’s lips, forgetting to breathe.
“Tastes good. We’re even with this, right?”
Baek Si Heon smiled and brought the finger that touched Ye Seul’s lips to his own.
Ye Seul turned her head away, blushing and unable to look straight at him.
“Let’s leave the appetizers at this and go have dinner. I’ll treat you to something delicious.”
As Baek Si Heon put on his jacket, Ye Seul picked up his coat.
“Coat… Thank you.”
“It’s good to have a wife.”
Baek Si Heon, who was about to open the closet where he kept his extra clothes, paused and wore the coat Ye Seul gave him.
“I’ll let you enjoy the wife chance as long as I’m here.”
After all, she was a threemonth limited wife and it was such a contract.
“I think I made a good marriage.”
Baek Si Heon laughed joyously. Ye Seul turned her head with a somehow embarrassing feeling.
“You must have been cold all day.”
“I almost caught a cold.”
Baek Si Heon said naturally.
“Thankfully you didn’t. If you get sick when you’re busy…… Huh?”
Baek Si Heon’s hand grabbed Ye Seul’s and pulled the back of her hand close to his face.
“Miss Ye Seul. Can I use the wife chance then?”
Baek Si Heon’s obsidianlike black eyes sparkled with anticipation.
The breath of Baek Si Heon touching the back of her hand tickled her heart, making it hard to breathe.
