It was the same question he had asked her that night.
Yerin’s heart pounded violently, as if it would burst out of her chest. Trying to hide her nervousness, she put on a professional smile.
“Before being assigned to this department, I served under Director Mo of Jiseok Electronics. Perhaps we crossed paths a few times at the company.”
“Hmm.”
Apparently not the answer Ihyeon wanted, he continued to rhythmically tap the desk with his index finger.
‘Really, does he recognize me? No, if so, he wouldn’t be probing like this; he’d be questioning why I ran away that night, right?’
Wrapped in anxiety, she felt like she could explode at any moment.
‘It’s okay. He won’t be able to connect me now to that night.’
Her heavy makeup that night was entirely different from her current appearance. With the blonde bob wig Narri lent her, there was no way he could recognize her. Still, considering the slim chance, Yerin swallowed hard.
‘Even if he does recognize me, surely he wouldn’t bring up that night at the company, right?’
To break the increasingly tense atmosphere, Secretary Choi cautiously asked.
“Director, may I ask why you’re curious about…”
“No.”
Quickly losing interest, Ihyeon turned his attention to the report Secretary Choi had brought.
With a detached look, he flipped through a few pages before his voice grew colder.
“Team Manager Ko really has no conscience, does he?”
Ihyeon even managed a smirk, but it was clear to everyone in the room that it wasn’t a smile of joy.
“This plan, wasn’t it rejected once before?”
“Yes, it was. We specifically asked for revisions.”
“Secretary Choi.”
“Yes, Director.”
Ihyeon’s gaze turned even colder as he looked at Secretary Choi.
“It’s quite disappointing to see you handle work so carelessly as you’re about to leave.”
“…I apologize.”
“Can I trust you to train your successor properly?”
Secretary Choi could only repeatedly apologize.
After snapping the plan shut, Ihyeon turned back to Yerin.
“Secretary Han, come here.”
As Yerin approached, Ihyeon handed her the problematic plan.
Yerin extended her hands to receive it.
“What seems to be the issue?”
It was a plan she had never seen before. Previously, she served under Director Mo of Jiseok Electronics’ Mobile Division, so she couldn’t utilize any data she had seen or heard before.
Yerin quickly flipped through the report, trying to grasp its content. It was a market research document for new products, but it failed to pinpoint the core issue.
Yerin cautiously voiced her opinion.
“It seems that the report is too scattered, trying to cover too much content without focusing on the main thread.”
Ihyeon’s eyes lit up approvingly.
“Would you mind summarizing the report for me?”
“Of course.”
Ihyeon nodded and gestured towards the door, indicating she could leave.
Yerin, holding the report tightly, quickly exited his view.
As the door shut, Secretary Choi gave her a thumbs-up.
“Secretary Han, how did you grasp the essence so quickly?”
“The issues in the reports are usually similar.”
Previously serving under Director Mo, who hardly worked and would reject any report or plan over a page long, Yerin had plenty of experience summarizing reports.
“Secretary Han, please take care of summarizing the Product Planning Team’s report.”
“Understood.”
Returning to her desk, Secretary Choi quickly started searching something on her computer and then made a call.
“Yes, is this Kim Narri, the CEO of Brand Cheto?”
The sudden mention of a familiar name made Yerin stop typing on her keyboard and stare at Secretary Choi, as if spellbound.
“I am Secretary Choi Hyun-jun, serving under Director Cha Ihyeon of Jiseok Electronics.”
After a polite introduction, Secretary Choi quickly got to the point of his call.
“I’m contacting you because there’s something I wish to discuss and ask in person.”
Yerin’s pupils trembled.
‘Meeting Narri? Why would Secretary Choi…?’
Her heart began to race as well.
Then came a statement that was quite remarkable.
“Our Director insists I meet with CEO Kim Narri, almost like a threat.”
Realizing his choice of words, Secretary Choi quickly corrected himself.
“Well, not exactly a threat, but he did insist quite forcefully. Anyway, my point is, could you possibly make some time to meet today?”
Yerin pretended to look at the monitor while straining to listen.
Secretary Choi seemed to have successfully scheduled an appointment with Narri, ending the call with a cheer.
Secretary Shin clicked her tongue and said to Secretary Choi.
“It’s because of that woman, isn’t it?”
The words “that woman” pierced Yerin’s ears.
“Sigh. Yes. I’m really going crazy because of the Director these days.”
Although the job had always been tough.
Muttering to himself, Secretary Choi grumbled as he got up from his seat.
“Why do I have to find a woman he fell in love with at first sight and then lost?”
Hearing this, Yerin dropped her pen with a thud.
The pen rolled off the desk and fell to the floor.
“Secretary Han? You dropped your pen.”
“Oh, yes.”
Yerin quickly picked up the pen, trying to compose herself.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
