“Haa.”
The first woman Ihyeon was supposed to meet was Kwak Seoyoon, the daughter of a three-term member of the National Assembly. She had been entangled in a bitter fate with Yerin.
The fact that Seoyoon was the top candidate for Ihyeon was indeed a cruel twist of fate.
“Why is this happening to me these days…”
Looking at Seoyoon’s smiling photo brought tears to Yerin’s eyes.
Seoyoon had always coveted everything Yerin had, whether it was objects or relationships.
Despite having spent so much time together under the guise of friendship, Seoyoon never really considered Yerin a friend.
Seoyoon was the one who deliberately approached and seduced Yerin’s ex-boyfriends, causing breakups.
Initially, Yerin thought these were coincidences, but as it kept happening, she realized it was Seoyoon’s doing. Since then, she couldn’t see Seoyoon in a good light.
Even recently, Seoyoon snatched away a man Yerin was dating.
It wasn’t the first time, so Yerin could only laugh, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t hurt.
Seeing Seoyoon’s face in the photo was far from pleasant.
Thinking about Seoyoon taking away her men and now possibly having a chance with a great guy like Ihyeon filled Yerin with rage.
She wanted to keep her distance from Ihyeon too, which was why she couldn’t reveal that she was the woman from that night.
But she didn’t want Ihyeon and Seoyoon to meet on a blind date either.
She couldn’t stand the thought of Seoyoon, who had enjoyed stealing from her, now possibly being by Ihyeon’s side.
Though some might criticize her for mixing personal feelings into public affairs, Yerin felt justified. After all, even a worm will turn when trodden upon.
Considering all she had endured until now, she could only sigh.
From her few days of observation, Ihyeon seemed like a genuinely good person.
A cunning woman like Seoyoon was certainly not a good match for someone as wonderful as Ihyeon.
‘I don’t want the Director and her to meet.’
As Yerin was lost in these thoughts, her office phone rang.
“Yes, Director.”
[Dash] Secretary Han, I have something to discuss. Please come in.Yerin entered Ihyeon’s office after knocking.
“You met Madam Yoon at noon, right?”
“Yes, I had lunch with Madam.”
“I suppose my mother told you to arrange my blind dates.”
“That’s correct.”
Ihyeon leaned back with one hand resting on the desk.
“You’ve probably seen the list of my blind date candidates. What do you think, Secretary Han?”
Her first thought upon seeing that list was clear.
She didn’t want Ihyeon to meet the woman mentioned as the top choice.
But she couldn’t let her personal feelings interfere with Ihyeon’s significant blind date venture.
Yerin forced a faint smile.
“Madam seems to have selected quite suitable ladies.”
“So Secretary Han thinks so.”
Ihyeon tapped the desk with his finger.
Just as Yerin hesitated over how to respond to Ihyeon’s question about the women mentioned as his blind date candidates, an unexpected statement came.
“But I don’t feel like going on blind dates.”
Yerin had not expected Ihyeon to be so adamantly opposed.
That’s probably why Madam Yoon had earnestly entrusted her with this task.
“But the Chairman said he would give the successor position to the first one to get married, didn’t he?”
“I said I wouldn’t go on blind dates, not that I wouldn’t get married.”
Isn’t that the same thing?
Yerin tried to recall if she had missed any part of their conversation.
Meanwhile, Ihyeon lifted his head and gazed intently at Yerin.
Yerin slowly opened her eyelids under his intense gaze.
“I want a love marriage. Not a boring, strategic one based on interests.”
Yerin remembered what Madam Yoon had said.
“Especially a love marriage would make them even happier.”
Yerin somewhat agreed with that statement.
Yerin thought that if Ihyeon were to marry someone he genuinely loved, rather than an arranged marriage based solely on conditions, he might be happier.
With this in mind, Yerin curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.
“You’ve made a good decision.”
She cautiously added a question.
“By any chance, are you seeing someone right now?”
“No.”
The blunt response caught Yerin off guard again.
Here was a man who talked about wanting a love marriage, yet claimed to be not seeing anyone.
“So, who exactly do you want to date?”
“You know, Secretary Han.”
“…….”
Yerin swallowed hard under his piercing gaze that seemed to see right through her.
“I’m sorry. I must have missed the briefing from Secretary Choi….”
“That woman, Secretary Han knows her too.”
A shiver ran down her spine at those words, as if they implied she was hiding everything.
Every time Ihyeon mentioned ‘that woman,’ Yerin’s heart fluttered wildly.
She tried to steady her trembling eyes and asked innocently.
“Me, know her?”
“The woman I’m desperately searching for.”
The ‘woman’ Ihyeon was referring to was Yerin herself.
This made the situation even more baffling.
“Do you mean you want to date her?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
