“Ah… a lover. So, it turned out that way.”
Muttering with a facial expression that seemed to alternate between laughter and tears, Chief Kang couldn’t take her eyes off the man in front of her.
His sharply defined features, resembling lines drawn with precision, were exquisite, and the emanating aura was incredibly sexy.
In contrast to the flawless face, the large, well-built frame sculpted through exercise presented another captivating charm.
Clothes like thin fabric were absolutely incapable of concealing, proudly displaying an enviable figure.
The gaze that unhesitatingly crossed mine for a moment felt chilling, but the look that returned to my woman was endlessly gentle.
Is he exclusively affectionate towards my woman?
Chief Kang wanted to shout at Tae-hee.
See, Director. Isn’t this stunning friend who’s stealing the show really to the liking of Assistant Manager Min?
Regretting that she didn’t bet on anything, but it was already too late.
Even though it’s envy to the point of death, Chief Kang thought it was better to consider it as a well-done affair and spoke again.
“Director, I’m really envious to death, and sincerely, congratulations. What I said just now… I hope you can forget it.”
“Thank you.”
In a candid yet serious response, Tae-hee couldn’t help but stop smiling.
“As a gesture of congratulations, I’ll be the one to spread the news of your relationship at the company.”
“Is it really a gesture of congratulations? It seems like it could be troublesome if rumors spread about us dating.”
As Tae-hee laughed and said that, Chief Kang quickly responded.
“Everyone will find out anyway. If I spread the rumor in advance, they’ll come to me first, and there will be absolutely no trouble bothering you, Director. I’m easygoing, and you’re already quite challenging. Moreover, male colleagues at the company who used to look down on you and were interested in you will straighten up and won’t cause any trouble.”
While saying that, Chief Kang subtly glanced at Sajoon.
However, Sajoon’s fixed gaze and expression on Tae-hee were still indifferent, and his emotions could not be read.
Perhaps he’s so confident in himself that he won’t feel jealous?
“Then, will Chief Kang be bothered? Or, does Chief Kang have something to gain?”
With a gentle smile, Tae-hee turned the question back to Chief Kang.
Born with a lot of suspicion, and no one believed her easily.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and even if you pretend to be free for a while, you eventually have to pay some kind of price.
That’s what people who have been through it since childhood and the world think.
Chief Kang replied as if saying, “Do you really not know?”
“If news of Director, who has always been in the top three in the popularity vote, dating, spreads, I, who has always been in fourth place, might be able to enter the top three. And, naturally, I have a personality that volunteers for company information, so I don’t find it bothersome; rather, I find it good.”
The purpose of the vote was actually to select employees who contributed greatly to the company, not based on popularity.
Clean-cut features, passionate work attitude, and good social skills with colleagues were the evaluation criteria.
The purpose of the vote was, in fact, to select employees who contributed significantly to the company rather than based on popularity.
Neat appearance, enthusiastic work attitude, and good social compatibility with colleagues were the evaluation criteria.
However, at some point, the vote that used to select the employee of the month with the highest contribution had deteriorated into a popularity vote between unmarried men and women.
In that regard, Tae-hee always remained in the top 3.
Always commuting in a neat office look, she diligently did her best in her work, getting along reasonably well with her colleagues.
She was courteous to her superiors, seemingly invisible to her colleagues, and kind to her juniors, quietly.
“Just display me up to 3rd place on the main board, and 10 coupons for company cafe drinks come out. Is it okay if I take those?”
“Of course, it’s fine. I’ll treat you to a delicious lunch as well.”
“Lunch is good, but I’m perfectly fine with the Zeus Hotel macarons you brought last time.”
What Chief Kang said afterward was clearly intended for Sajoon. Of course, Sajoon paid no attention to other people’s words.
Whether the two were talking or not, Sajoon was silently watching Tae-hee.
As always, Sajoon, who didn’t care about his surroundings, left it to Tae-hee to handle the aftermath.
However, Tae-hee didn’t want to force herself to be kind to Sajoon just because he was familiar with her and others.
She didn’t act kindly, but she didn’t violate any manners either.
So, as a matter of fact, Tae-hee whispered to Chief Kang, asking her to understand that her boyfriend covers his face quite a lot.
True to her easygoing nature, Chief Kang smiled brightly and whispered a meaningful message.
Asking Chief Kang to introduce some friends or juniors to Sajoon.
