The marketing team, after finishing their lunch, headed to the cafe inside the company building.
Seated at the far end of the table where three people were sitting, Manager Kim Woo-yeon chewed on an innocent straw, looking confident.
At the spot where she was glaring with sharp eyes, there was a woman. It was Min Tae-hee, who entered as a belated contract intern at the age of 30, just like herself, and became a full-time employee in three months.
She had intended to make her leave by making it unbearable somehow, but she failed.
She was like a weed that grew even more vigorously the more you stepped on it.
No matter what task she was given, she completed it perfectly. Even if her words were twisted, she smoothly parried without losing her composure and kept smiling.
There was something particularly irritating.
Just an intern, and now as a full-time employee. Despite her receiving a salary, she was flaunting luxury from head to toe, wielding high-end products from shopping.
Although no brand logos were visible, the designs were known through magazines and catalogs, and most of them were limited editions.
Products that even those with money couldn’t purchase unless they were almost VVIP.

“It must be imitation. It doesn’t make sense if it’s not imitation. Right, Manager Jin-hwa?”
Park Jin-hwa, who was sitting next to Manager Kim Woo-yeon, looked at her as if asking what she was talking about.
“It’s about Ms. Min Tae-hee. Just an intern, but she only wears luxury brands.”
“I don’t really know, were they luxury brands? Maybe Ms. Tae-hee looks like that because her appearance is luxurious? Not just her face, but her figure seems perfect. Even for the same woman, she’s really…?”
Under Manager Kim Woo-yeon’s stern gaze, Park Jin-hwa shut her mouth with a smirk.
Surely, the real power after the department head in the department is me.
However, it felt dirty to be surpassed by an intern who had only been here for three months.
Both the department head and the team members seemed to favor Min Tae-hee more than her, and it twisted her nerves.
Interns, including Min Tae-hee, who joined this time, were frequently summoned by the CEO. It was suspicious enough to suspect that these interns were not ordinary interns but parachute hires.
The current situation was too absurd.

At the table where Min Tae-hee was sitting, the department head was also seated, and the laughter didn’t stop.
That was originally my seat over there. The fist clenched under the table even shook.
Even the thin fingers that swept up the flowing hair were annoying. The ring on them was a simple design without a single diamond, in contrast to wielding luxury from head to toe.
Who does she think she is, what is this? If you’re a married woman, tie your hair neatly like a married woman.
Feeling the gaze staring at her, Min Tae-hee turned around.
With a face that hadn’t lost its smile, she nodded slightly at Manager Kim Woo-yeon.
I didn’t want to lose even if I died soon.
Manager Kim Woo-yeon, forcibly pulling up the corners of her trembling mouth, smiled along.
Sure, laugh as much as you want, Min Tae-hee. I’ll find a way to catch you and embarrass you somehow. I’ll make it so embarrassing that you won’t even be able to come to work.
For three months, the two of them enjoyed a very proper secret office affair.
Whether it was during Jun’s official calls or meeting discreetly on the emergency staircase during break times.

Unless there were external schedules, they had a secret meeting once a day. As always, Tae-hee was the one whose heart raced, fearing they might get caught.
But today was already the second call.
It was an excuse to personally convey congratulations to the intern who had become a full-time employee.
She had become so familiar with the secretary team members who were frequently called that she greeted them as she entered the office corridor.
She should tell them to call her more quietly.
As Tae-hee was having such thoughts, she stopped in her tracks.
From the slightly opened office, the shrill voice of a woman echoed.
“Hey, you jerk! Who do you think you are demoting our Jaki from manager to assistant manager? Is your blood so filthy that even your eyes are dirty? Can’t you see anything? This is totally ridiculous. Do you not know the difference between being smart and being cunning? I’m four years older than you!”
It was Kang Ye-hee, Jun’s step-sister, and I could guess why she had come.
The professional businessman, the department store president, could only watch his son-in-law being scolded without saying anything.

However, as soon as Jun was inaugurated as the vice-president of the department store, he immediately demoted Kang Ye-hee’s husband.
Who would dare to say anything about the chairman’s son getting rid of the chairman’s son-in-law?
While he was a manager, he made such a mess that they were considering firing him, and this was said to be a lenient measure.
But instead of being grateful, she came all the way to the office and caused this commotion, showing that the person lacked manners.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
