“You’re frugal, considering you spilled it in the meeting room earlier.”
“I, I was distracted. Hahaha.”
Shirak quickly took the pen as if asking to be excused.
“Well then, I have a lot of work…”
As Shirak tried to quickly leave the restroom, Dojun’s low voice stopped him.
“Manager Chae.”
“Yes, Director?”
Helplessly, Shirak turned slowly.
Dojun’s cold gaze scanned him from head to toe.
And after staring at his wrist for a while, Dojun continued speaking.
“Do you remember what I said before?”
“What…”
“When I said I really cherish Manager Jin.”
Ignoring the fact that he himself was committing an illegal act, Shirak chuckled heartily.
“Ah, yes.”
Shirak shook his head so vigorously it seemed like it might fall off.
Come to think of it, now he understood what that meant.
The relationship between those two was so deep, and he didn’t even realize.
“I forgot again.”
“I remember. Of course…”
Using his long legs, Dojun took a few steps closer, narrowing the distance in one breath.
An overwhelming sense of oppression, enough to make one’s breath catch, emanated from him.
Dojun’s large hand lightly touched Shirak’s shoulder.
“Then, let’s get along well.”
“Yes, yes. Of course.”
Shirak swallowed hard.
Dojun tapped Shirak’s shoulder a few times and left the restroom first.
“Ah, I thought my heart was going to fall out.”
I wondered how much of my muttering Dojun heard.
“Well, considering his personality, would he pretend not to hear?”
Thinking I was lucky if he didn’t hear anything, Shirak walked into the office.
As soon as Dojun entered his home office, he opened a drawer.
He took out a photo he had neatly tucked into an envelope, sighed as if he couldn’t believe it, and exhaled.
“How are these two connected again?”
In the photo that Dojun tossed onto his desk, there was an arm of a man with Taejin.
And on that man’s arm was a very familiar watch.
Dojun slammed the desk with his index finger.
“Chae Shirak.”
And.
“Jin Taejin.”
How are these two connected, meeting at this late hour?
“And what’s this pen?”
Dojun could tell at a glance.
It wasn’t just an ordinary pen.
It probably had features like a recording function.
Dojun resisted the urge to thoroughly interrogate Shirak immediately.
“If Chae Shirak isn’t involved alone.”
It was better to provoke Shirak when all those related to the matter could be caught.
The most worrying thing was Taeyeon.
While contemplating what kind of conversation they had in the meeting room earlier, Dojun summoned Secretary Choi.
“Secretary Choi, investigate the connection between Manager Chae Shirak and Jin Taejin.”
“Yes, understood.”
Was it so difficult to achieve such a small desire, wanting to live like an ordinary couple with Taeyeon?
Dojun’s gaze on the photo became even more intense.
After finishing work roughly, Taeyeon stood up to get some cool water from the water purifier.
Shirak, who had been watching her, also stood up and followed behind her.
Thunk.
As the restroom door closed, Taeyeon slowly turned her head.
“Manager?”
“Manager Jin, drinking a lot of water is good for your health.”
Judging by the unnecessary comments, it seemed like he had something to discuss with me today too.
Taeyeon put the tumbler down and stared at Shirak.
“Do you have something to say?”
“Huh?”
Seeing that she catches on quickly, Shirak lightly brushed the back of her neck with one hand.
“I’m curious about something. Manager Jin, did you say you got married?”
“Yes, I did.”
Taeyeon absentmindedly touched the ring on her left fourth finger, which was adorned with a ring.
Shirak’s gaze had been fixed there the entire time.
“I saw something in the meeting room earlier.”
Taeyeon felt a sudden tension.
Even if she quickly pushed Dojun away, it seemed she couldn’t erase that subtle atmosphere that flowed between them.
“No matter how you put it, isn’t it too close for colleagues, even if he’s your superior?”
“What?”
Shirak waved his hand as if he knew everything.
“Yeah, nowadays, they talk about office wives or office husbands.”
Taeyeon’s lips curled up at the strange words she was hearing.
“Still, it’s a bit much for a woman who’s already married.”
It seemed like he thought Dojun and I were having an affair.
Taeyeon hadn’t disclosed any information about her husband to her colleagues except for the fact that he was abroad, but that was solely for work purposes.
“If Taeyeon’s husband finds out later that she’s abroad, wouldn’t he feel uncomfortable?”
Taeyeon found it so absurd that she barely managed to suppress a burst of laughter.
“Manager, it seems you’re misunderstanding something.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“Yes, it’s because of the work we do together; we often engage in conversations.”
“Hehehe.”
Shirak put one hand in his pocket and tilted his head sideways.
“You two don’t have anything going on?”
Strictly speaking, Taeyeon’s husband, who Shirak was concerned about, was Dojun.
Taeyeon didn’t want to disclose that information, and besides, she didn’t want to reveal trivial details of her personal life. She simply nodded.
“We have nothing going on.”
At those words, an incredulous smile spread across Shirak’s face.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
