His fatherinlaw also agreed to entrust the child to a professional teacher rather than his grandmother, and the person who was recommended and came for the interview today was teacher Bong Hyo Jin.
‘I was very happy.’
The bright face confidently answering with a broad smile seemed somewhat unsettling to Gyo Hwan, like the antics of a young child.
As a parent, he wanted a teacher with skills rather than enthusiasm. Not a novice who had just started her teaching career.
Moreover, the reason why he could not dismiss her hastily, even though there was an incident today, was because she was a teacher actively recommended by Professor Kim Yong Hoon, just as she said.
Yes, because she was recommended by none other than the father of the mother who gave birth to Seung Yul.
Gyo Hwan decided to trust his fatherinlaw’s judgment once.
‘Wow!’
Hyo Jin, who had entered the accommodation with prominent traditional interior decorations, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
It felt as if she had come for a staycation, not for work.
The size was larger than combining two rooms of the villa where her grandmother and her younger sibling lived, and besides a queensized bed, a bathroom, and a separate kitchen, there was an outdoor terrace like the balcony in Romeo and Juliet.
Hyo Jin, who had changed into comfortable clothes inside the room, opened the folding door and went out barefoot, gazing at the sky where the sunset was ripening with a full heart.
For her, who had taken over a basement room at the age of nineteen when her father passed away, living in a room where the sunlight came in through the window when she woke up was a great luxury.
The housekeeper, who had managed the household of Sangrimwon for 30 years since she moved to Seoul from Jeonju, explained that Sangrimwon was divided into four sections.
The nearest from the entrance, Haengrangchae, is where resident employees like Hyo Jin and the housekeeper lived.
The smaller Sarangchae was for Choi Seung Yul, the boss baby she would be teaching, the larger Sarangchae was for Representative Choi Gyo Hwan.
In Anchae lived Gyo Hwan’s biological grandmother, Lady Bang Mi Hee, who was called Queen Mother, and his mother, Lady Min Ja Hyun, and she was warned not to even hover near the Sarangchae where the representative was.
“Of course, I could think, ‘How could I and the representative…,’ but people love gossip.”
The queen mother’s opposition was more than usual, worrying that strange rumors might swirl about a single, unmarried female tutor being brought into the house, especially when he has not made a new start for over 8 years of being alone.
Especially after such an incident today.
“The Madam said you don’t need to greet her even if you run into her by chance in the future.”
Was this a blatant order to get out?
On the one hand, I was told that I absolutely should not quit in the middle even if there was a natural disaster.
“This is something Team Leader Nam wanted me to pass along. It’s from the representative.”
What came out of the envelope was the premium black card from American Express, a card she had only heard of in rumors.
“No, why would the representative give me something like this…?”
The housekeeper seemed to caution Hyo Jin, who seemed about to sink into a swamp of misunderstanding, against harboring bizarre imaginations.
“This is for you to use in situations that might arise while attending to the young master.”
In other words, there was no limit to attending to the young master.
“It’s not a corporate card, it’s the representative’s personal card, because you can’t use a company card for family matters.”
I know. I know that he’s not giving it to me because he likes me.
The housekeeper was not just cutting off room for imagination but was uprooting it completely.
“I’m sorry, but it seems like I won’t be able to keep my promise to become your mother.”
After a brief introduction to the rules to be followed in Sangrimwon and orientation by the housekeeper, Hyo Jin came up to Seung Yul’s room and confessed honestly.
“Why? I told my dad I liked you because of that. Are you saying that since we’ve signed the contract, you don’t need something like a promise with me?”
“What the, so you were just using me, saying things you didn’t mean?”
Hyo Jin, who had thought that Seung Yul said those things because he liked her even just a tiny bit, felt betrayed.
“I told you clearly from the moment I agreed to your request. I wasn’t agreeing because of that.”
“Liar. You were planning to do this from the start.”
Feeling accused of having set a trap to change the subject, Seung Yul grumbled angrily.
“Why didn’t you tell me in the first place? You should have said it was a mother’s dress! Do you know how hard it was for me with dad?”
“Are you implying you’ve already worn it?”
Seung Yul frowned as if calling her cowardly.
This kid, was he seeing her not as a teacher but as a spy?
“I promised today while signing the contract with your dad. There will be no secrets.”
