“Come to think of it, Director is quite affectionate with Yerin. Unlike the others who couldn’t endure Director’s temperament and resigned within a week.”
Compared to the treatment others received, it was a completely different treatment.
To say that Hyun had changed was unreasonable.
He was never someone who considered others’ feelings.
So, thinking that the secretaries quit because he forced them and had a hard time seemed impossible.
He had originally not been the type to consider other people’s emotions.
So, he couldn’t understand why the secretaries had quit because of him.
It was simply because he didn’t care.
“Why is Director so kind to that secretary?”
It was an unresolved question.
“Ah, could it be that the secretary found the woman Director was desperately looking for?”
So, if Director treats her kindly in gratitude, it would be a reasonable gesture.
Perhaps having a similar thought to Secretary Choi, Hyejin looked at the firmly closed director’s office door, approached, and started a conversation.
“Director, have you ever raised your voice at that secretary? Is she good at her job?”
It was a question born out of envy.
“Yeah, she’s good at it. That’s why when I was looking for my successor, she was the most recommended talent from the HR team.”
Acknowledging Yerin, Hyejin pursed her lips.
“But Secretary Choi, why didn’t you recommend me as your successor? I can handle the director’s secretarial duties well too.”
Secretary Choi looked at Hyejin with an incredulous expression.
Someone who often forgets tasks and treats being late like it’s nothing, aspiring to be the director’s secretary?
If Hyejin had taken on that role, she probably wouldn’t have lasted a day.
“Secretary Shin Hyejin, how far along are you with the data I requested by yesterday?”
“What? What data?”
Judging by her wide-open eyes, it seemed like receiving the information within the given timeframe had already become a thing of the past.
“I asked you to organize the sales report for the last quarter. You don’t remember?”
“Oh, right! Was that it? I’m sorry. I’ll do it now.”
Awkwardly smiling, Hyejin returned to her seat.
Yerin, who had entered Hyun’s office at the right time, came out as Hyejin went in.
Secretary Choi, holding an invitation that had arrived by mail yesterday, knocked on Hyun’s office door.
As they entered, his face was fixed on the documents.
“Director, you’ve been invited to the KK Food Foundation’s anniversary ceremony.”
“Oh?”
“They’re inviting partners again this year. They’re asking for your attendance response by next week.”
“I don’t have time to go there…”
About to ask where it was, Hyun, who had been holding his fountain pen, put it down and fell into thought.
“Let me think a bit more and let you know.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Alright, you can go.”
Seemingly thinking the matter was settled, Hyun shifted his gaze back to the documents.
However, he noticed Secretary Choi standing still in the office and belatedly asked.
“Why?”
“Director, how is the search for the missing woman proceeding?”
“Oh, that.”
Hyun raised his head again and stared at Secretary Choi.
“If Secretary Han is too busy and needs help, shall I assist in the search?”
“No. Secretary Han is doing well, so I don’t need to worry about it.”
“Have you got any leads yet?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Hyun’s face slowly broke into a smile, as if he were pondering something.
“Secretary Han has something else she’s doing separately. Maybe that’s why she’s having trouble finding it properly, but it’s fine.”
“Is it okay?”
“Yeah. It’s not something urgent. I told her it’s okay to take it slow.”
Listening to Hyun’s words only deepened the mystery rather than solving it. There’s always a time when the urgency to find that woman feels like life itself will end if she doesn’t come immediately. The fact that he casually instructed to take it easy was quite shocking. Secretary Choi threw a question to glance at Hyun subtly.
“Secretary Han seems to be adapting well. I’m curious about how you feel about her, Director.”
“Secretary Hanyerin? She’s perfect.”
At that remark, Secretary Choi’s face showed a considerable amount of surprise. Hyun had never evaluated someone like that before. It was unimaginable for a perfectionist like him to use the word “perfect” for someone.
“That’s a relief. If Secretary Han adapts well, I think I can hand over all my work now.”
“Yeah. Slowly pass on one thing at a time.”
“Yes. Still, since Secretary Han came, I’ve gained the freedom of weekends, and it makes me very happy.”
As Secretary Choi shared this, her face was genuinely filled with a smile. Watching her, Hyun felt a sudden sense of guilt, thinking he might have been too demanding of Secretary Choi all this time.
“Secretary Choi, please take a good rest this weekend as well.”
“You still don’t have any plans, Director. Did something come up in the meantime?”
Certainly, before entering the office, when he checked the calendar, there were no weekend plans. However, now, it seemed like something had come up.
“Yeah. I’m thinking of going to a pretty good place.”
At his words, Secretary Choi’s eyes showed curiosity.

really disliked him
