Early in the morning, Seorin finished the final meeting and left the conference room with her team members.
Today was the decisive day, the day of the final evaluation for the bidding on the theme hotel site.
After completing the final check on the documents, she was now planning to leave the Seongwon Building and head to the venue where the evaluation would take place.
“Assistant Manager, fighting!”
“Assistant Manager! We believe we can do it!”
As the team members sent words of encouragement, Seorin nodded in response.
“Thank you. You know, if this succeeds, it’s not just my credit but all of ours, the team’s.”
“Thank you. Indeed, Assistant Manager!”
“We love you!”
The faces of the team members, confident of victory, were filled with anticipation. At that moment, the elevator arrived. Seorin, along with Manager Park, boarded to go to the evaluation venue. Manager Park pressed the button for the basement floor.
“How are you feeling? Nervous?”
“Nervous? Not at all.”
“At times like this, you really have a strong heart. If it were me, my heart would be shaking so much I couldn’t even speak properly.”
“When my heart shakes and I can’t speak properly, it’s only when I’m really annoyed.”
“Haha. That’s right. When you’re annoyed, you really can’t say a word. Honestly, I was a bit worried because of that picture yesterday. Just in case it might affect you.”
Manager Park spoke sincerely.
Even though she couldn’t sleep all night because of that picture, she wondered why.
But Seorin was tougher than what Manager Park thought.
“If I were to be shaken by just a few pictures, I wouldn’t have made it to this position with this heart of mine.”
“……”
“A picture is just a picture. Until the truth of that picture is revealed, it means nothing to me. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t see the impure intentions of the person who sent the picture.”
With her calm tone, Park Manager chuckled.
“I have both good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Bad news.”
“The picture is real. There’s no sign of manipulation.”
“Oh? Then I’ll have to ask Taejoon later. How does he know that woman.”
“And one piece of good news is that I found out who the woman is.”
Seorin’s black eyes turned toward Manager Park. He then opened his mouth, showing another picture of the woman on his tablet.
“It’s actress Seo Jiwon.”
“An actress?”
“Yes. Actually… I thought I had seen her face somewhere, and it turns out she’s actress Seo Jiwon. A few years ago, she was a big-name actress who appeared in a lot of advertisements. But when she was at the height of her success, a drug scandal broke out, and she completely fell from grace.”
“Ha……”
A small sigh, as if expressing pity, escaped her lips. Then Manager Park handed her the photo and the article, and she examined them carefully.
“Fell from grace, you say. And now she’s filming a drama?”
“Yes. She didn’t get the lead role, but she wisely chose a comeback project. Originally, another actor was in Seo Jiwon’s place, but she was urgently brought in.”
As Seorin listened to Manager Park’s words, it seemed like something crossed her mind, and she subtly raised the corners of her mouth.
“Manager Park.”
“Yes.”
“Do you want to find out who Seo Jiwon’s sponsor is?”
“Sponsor?”
“Yeah. Urgently changing the lead actress in this big project who’s dying in every scene? It’s too obvious, isn’t it?”
“Well… that’s… true!”
Upon hearing the words, Manager Park, as if having a strong persuasive power, suddenly added strength to his hesitating words and chimed in. Then he looked at Seorin with admiring eyes.
If the elevator door hadn’t opened at that moment, if she hadn’t come face to face with President Baek, Manager Park’s admiration for Seorin might not have ended yet.
“Hey, are you going there?”
After getting off the elevator, President Baek asked Seorin.
She nodded in response.
“Yes. Because today is the day.”
“Okay. Do well and come back.”
It was a simple farewell, but today it sounded somewhat insincere to Seorin. So, she turned to President Baek and quietly retorted.
“You don’t have to say things you don’t mean. Even if you don’t say those insincere words, I’ll do well and come back because it’s for the good of the company.”
President Baek’s forehead wrinkled unexpectedly. But Seorin faced his formidable pressure head-on without avoiding it.
“You’re wrong. I hope you succeed in that matter. It may not be good for me, but it could bring huge profits to the company. I… I care more about the company than myself. So don’t distort even my sincerity like that.”
It was unexpected. However, it seemed she didn’t need to respond to those words specifically.
Seorin turned away silently, and President Baek entered the elevator.
But between the closing elevator doors, President Baek’s sincerity seemed to fly through.
“Regardless of what happens, make the bidding successful today.”
“…”
“Well, I’ll acknowledge your skills then.”
When she turned back, the elevator doors were already closed, and President Baek was gone.
Even though she should say it.
