“I couldn’t drink properly because of the concert preparations. It’s not that late today, anyway.”
Although the clock had already passed two in the morning, it seemed not too late for Seoyoon.
Gwak Congressman clicked his tongue.
“Seoyoon, especially be mindful of your behavior.”
“Ha. Dad, don’t make me feel awkward.”
Taking a deep breath, Seoyoon slumped onto the sofa.
Although Gwak Congressman was known as a father who was a sucker for his daughter, it was all for the friendly political image.
For Gwak Congressman, using his family as a very good means for political purposes was an excellent tool.
Utilizing the image of a loving father who cherishes his only daughter, he was able to gain public favor.
In reality, fearing that his political image might be damaged, he simply managed his daughter.
Especially, if Seoyoon tarnished Gwak Congressman’s reputation, he might be someone who would unhesitatingly cast his daughter aside.
“If you had practiced the gayageum a bit more. You wouldn’t have heard such things from Chairman Cha Hyun today.”
Even to Gwak Congressman’s ears, Seoyoon’s performance was lacking.
Although it was organized as a concert to raise political funds, it had to meet a certain standard. However, it fell short, causing his forehead to involuntarily wrinkle.
“You know better than anyone that I don’t have that talent.”
“Just practice more!”
“I’ve practiced enough. Do you expect me to do nothing but eat and play the gayageum?”
Raising her voice, Seoyoon stood up from her seat.
Already feeling down after being properly rejected by Lee Hyun today, her tears were on the verge of falling, and now her father, this human, was coming at her so harshly.
Even seeing Seoyoon in such a state, Gwak Congressman didn’t bat an eye.
“Don’t act weak. You might become the owner of Jiseok Group in the future. Do you want to cry so easily then?”
“… What did you say, Dad?”
Seoyoon, with tears welling up in her eyes, showed interest, as if asking what he had just said.
Gwak Congressman cleared his throat.
“Chairman Cha called. He said he’ll arrange another meeting with Director Cha Hyun.”
“Really?”
Seoyoon, as if saying when did she ever shed tears, brightened up, pulling up the corners of her mouth.
“Yes. So please don’t waste this opportunity.”
“Of course.”
Seoyoon clenched her fist, making a resolution.
This time, she was determined to show Hyun all of her charms.
“Even without Jiseok Group, I don’t want to disappoint myself anymore.”
“Trust me, Dad.”
Gwak Congressman needed the considerable financial power of Jiseok Group, and Seoyoon wanted Lee Hyun, who carried such Jiseok Group on his back.
It was a rare moment for the two women to have the same goal in a long time.
“Good morning.”
Once again, Hyun greeted her in the morning.
And in a quite warm tone.
Secretary Shin Hyejin and Secretary Kim Seulgi, who were already sitting and working at their desks, exchanged glances.
“Han Secretary, come in as soon as you organize the schedule and give me a briefing.”
“Yes, understood.”
Hyun smiled at Yerin and then went straight into the director’s office.
The door closed with a thud, and before entering, Hyun’s secretaries exchanged glances.
“Secretary Han, Director Cha doesn’t seem to be in a very good mood these days, does he?”
“Yeah, now that you mention it, he hasn’t said anything about bringing that woman back either.”
“Han Secretary, how is the search for that woman going?”
“Oh, that…,”
Yerin asked, curling her lips slightly.
Hyejin and Seulgi were both very curious, sparkling with anticipation for the next words.
“I haven’t found her yet.”
“Oh, really?”
Disappointment filled the faces of the two women who were expecting an interesting story.
“But does it take this long to find one person?”
Hyejin raised an eyebrow.
“Especially on that day, the Cheato Party required an invitation to enter, right?”
“Right. You said you got the guest list, Han Secretary?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Can I see that list too?”
When Hyejin stood up and approached Yerin, intending to see the list, the secretary’s office door opened belatedly, revealing Secretary Choi.
“The traffic was quite congested, so I’m a bit late. I’m sorry.”
Secretary Choi, seeing Hyejin approaching Yerin with curiosity, asked inquisitively, “What are you doing there, Shin Secretary?”
“I’m trying to help find the missing woman for Director Cha.”
“Why is Secretary Shin doing that?”
“Han Secretary said she hasn’t found her yet…”
Secretary Choi, with a firm expression, pointed at Hyejin as if questioning her actions.
“Shin Secretary, did you finish the quarterly summary report that Director requested yesterday?”
“No, not yet…”
“Shouldn’t that be your priority?”
Only spitting out the correct words, Hyejin could only bow deeply.
“I’d be grateful if each of you just faithfully fulfills your assigned tasks.”
“Yes, understood.”
Confirming that Hyejin could do nothing but return to her seat, Yerin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretary Choi glanced at Yerin and added one more thing.
“Could Han Secretary possibly be intentionally avoiding finding that woman?”
At that statement, Yerin’s face subtly stiffened.
It felt like the thief had been caught red-handed.
