“Sigh. Why did I do that that day?”
Regretting her first-ever act of rebellion, Yerin’s mind had been in turmoil recently.
“It’s because of that handsome face.”
Arriving early as usual at Executive Mo’s secretary’s office, Yerin let out a deep sigh[Dash].
Thankfully, since spending the night with Ihyeon, nothing else occupied her mind.
Though she had achieved her goal by spending the night in Ihyeon’s arms, the problem was that Ihyeon’s face, moving over her like a beast, kept haunting her whether her eyes were open or closed.
“I wonder if he saw the note I left?”
It was an unforgettable, ecstatic night, but it was safest to keep it as a one-night deviation.
After all, Ihyeon too probably only wanted one night. If she hadn’t left, he would have been the one to leave first.
Not wanting to wake up alone and feel desolate in the morning, she left the hotel right after Ihyeon closed his eyes.
She and Ihyeon were in different departments, so there was little chance they’d interact at work, but she still felt uneasy every time she went to the office.
“It’s okay. I had heavy makeup and a wig that day.”
Even if they did meet, the chances of Ihyeon recognizing her were slim.
“Ah, as if he would look for a one-night stand. With all the women around him?”
Considering the countless women by his side, why would he care about a woman he spent just one day with?
With these thoughts, Yerin greeted other secretaries arriving at work.
“You guys know that Executive Mo got fired, right?”
“Yes, we heard.”
Sitting at her desk, Yerin stared blankly at the empty office door.
Executive Mo, whom Yerin served at Jiseok Electronics, was fired for his bad behavior.
The secretaries in Mo’s office seemed relieved.
“He should have controlled himself.”
“It’s good that he was caught, right?”
“Yeah. But now we’ll be split into different departments.”
“It’s a shame. We got along well.”
“Let’s meet up and chat often.”
“Oh, our new assignments are out.”
At that, Yerin logged into the company bulletin board.
Hoping her new boss would be decent, she clicked on the announcement with a fervent wish.
Then, she froze.
“Wow, Yerin, you’re so lucky!”
“Exactly. Isn’t he everyone’s dream boss?”
“Right? Yerin, did you save a country in your past life?”
All the secretaries envied Yerin.
“Yerin, why are you so stunned?”
“You can’t believe it, right? Serving him is like a gift from heaven.”
“Really, I’m so jealous, Yerin.”
“From bald Executive Mo to him? You’ll enjoy some real eye candy!”
Among the excited chatter, Yerin blinked her eyes hard.
“This can’t be happening.”
But the announcement remained unchanged.
“This is really…”
It was too cruel, even for a dream.
The boss Yerin had to serve from tomorrow was.
“Congratulations, Yerin. You’re assigned to Director Cha Ihyeon.”
The last person she should meet again was Ihyeon.
This was indeed a cruel twist of fate.
The dreaded morning finally arrived.
Yerin’s steps to the office were heavier than ever, now that she had to serve Ihyeon.
“Is this some kind of joke by fate?”
She and Ihyeon were supposed to be completely unrelated.
If it weren’t for this absurd personnel change, it would have been a perfect one-day deviation.
Even in Jiseok Electronics, there were many more capable and senior secretaries than Yerin.
Especially for Ihyeon’s secretary’s office, which was known to be fiercely competitive.
“Why me…”
No matter how much she sighed, the situation remained the same.
If they just didn’t meet at the company, it could’ve been a perfect one-day affair.
But now, every day, she had to be by his side, facing him.
“He won’t recognize me, right? Ah, surely not.”
She wanted to believe in the power of Na-ri’s heavy makeup and wig.
Otherwise, Yerin had no lifeline left.
“Even if he recognizes me, well, whatever.”
“It’s not a problem that two consenting adults spent the night together, but the fact that I did it with the boss I’m supposed to serve is a problem.”
“I hope he doesn’t recognize me. Never ever.”
I wish I’d never crossed paths with him.
The one thing Yerin had hoped for, yet this personnel change seemed to mock her wish.
Yerin, with a face full of tension, entered the office of the secretary for the head of the Display Business Unit at Jiseok Electronics.
“Hello.”
Seeing Yerin enter, Secretary Choi greeted her with open arms.
“Welcome.”
Secretary Choi, showing excessive kindness, guided Yerin to her seat and took care of her.
While Yerin was exchanging greetings with Secretaries Kim and Shin, also working in the office, the sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Everyone heard the sound and quickly returned to their places, closing their mouths.
Secretary Choi whispered softly.
“Director Cha Ihyeon will be coming in soon.”
“Ah, yes.”
Yerin bowed her head deeply.
She wished she could let her hair down to cover her face, but that would compromise her neat appearance.
A moment later.
Ihyeon entered the office and found a woman with her head deeply bowed. He struggled to suppress his laughter.
