“I don’t know.”
Sirak, grabbing the edge of the desk with both hands, began to move the keyboard.
“Manager, I’ll just contact the security team.”
“Okay. It doesn’t seem difficult.”
Although Sirak began to touch the computer, it showed no signs of movement.
“Just forcibly shut it down and turn it on again. But there’s a chance that all the data might be lost.”
“What?”
“Manager Jin, isn’t the new product proposal also on this computer?”
“Yes.”
“If that disappears, it will be a big problem.”
At Sirak’s words, Taeyeon was visibly frightened. Since she hadn’t backed up the data separately, losing the information would be a significant issue.
“Don’t worry. I’ll fix it quickly.”
With a trustworthy face, Sirak touched the computer, and eventually, the reboot screen began to appear.
“Wow, it seems to be working.”
“See? I told you I would fix it.”
Sirak took his hands off the keyboard and observed whether the reboot was working properly.
Fortunately, the screen appeared without any problems.
“Maybe there’s an error file; let me check.”
“What?”
“Hurry. I have to attend the meeting too. If a blue screen appears again, it might happen like this.”
Upon hearing this, Taeyeon quickly entered the password and unlocked the computer.
Sirak’s gaze was fixed on Taeyeon’s hands pressing the keyboard, without her noticing.
Sirak looked at the unlocked screen and began clicking various things with the mouse.
“For now, it seems fine, but if it happens again, call the security team.”
“Thank you.”
“Why do you even have these kinds of issues?”
Sirak left the office quickly, as there was a meeting scheduled.
Yoonji, observing the situation, protruded her lips.
“What’s going on? The great Sirak knows how to do something.”
“I didn’t know he was good with computers.”
“Still, it’s fortunate since he’s helpful.”
“True.”
Already having a lot to do, Taeyeon hurriedly focused on her work, relieved that the computer was turned on without any lost files.
Busy KK Food headquarters.
The atmosphere in Dojun’s office was unusually cold.
On the tablet PC presented by Secretary Choi, there were somewhat unrelated images of two people.
“What are these two plotting now?”
“It hasn’t been that long since they’ve been together.”
Jin Taejin and Cha Haejun.
Although they were family, they weren’t so close as to meet separately at night, making it more mysterious.
Without deeply thinking about the two, Dojun’s phone began to ring.
The caller was from someone entirely unwelcome.
Dojun answered the call with a subdued voice, “Yes, Chairman Jin.”
Hehe. Cha Husband. You’ve been busy lately, haven’t you?
He seemed to know the meaning behind that question too well.
“Haven’t you heard yet?”
Hmm? I don’t quite understand what you’re saying.
“We’ve decided not to invest in Cha Shin Yub.”
What? No, why would you do that? We’ve done everything you asked for.
“For details, please consult Mr. Jin Taejin.”
Without even listening to what Chairman Jin was saying, Dojun promptly ended the call.
Jin Taejin, Cha Haejun, and Cha Sirak.
To protect Taeyeon by his side, he needed to find out the connection between them.
It was time to wait patiently, not to ask blindly but to cast the net well and wait for it to be caught.
As the end of the workday approached, Taeyeon opened her diary to organize tomorrow’s schedule.
While checking for any missed appointments, she noticed a marked event for this weekend.
“Oh, right.”
It was the day she had planned to have a meal with Chairman Cha.
“I almost forgot.”
Of course, if I forget, Dojun will take care of it, but still, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it could have been a big problem.
Not wanting to meet Chairman Cha empty-handed, Taeyeon was in a dilemma.
Even if she tried to buy a gift, Chairman Cha seemed to have everything already.
Taeyeon hesitated about what to give, but then she had a good idea.
As everyone was getting ready to leave, Taeyeon casually spoke to Yoonji.
“Assistant Choi, you have a baking video channel you said you enjoy, right?”
“Yeah. I’ve been watching it a lot lately. Why?”
“Is it too difficult to follow?”
“It’s not difficult, but it might be a bit bothersome.”
“Really?”
When Taeyeon showed interest in something Yoonji liked, she became excited and stood up, coming over to Taeyeon, talking while indicating the video channel.
“Although it looks easy, baking can be quite hands-on.”
Assistant Choi recommended a few consecutive videos that even beginners could try.
“But why? Are you planning to try baking?”
“Yeah. I decided to visit my brother this weekend.”
“Really?”
“I thought about bringing homemade cookies.”
Yoonji smiled as if finding Taeyeon’s intention cute.
“Cookies? He might like them if you make them yourself, but…”
While Taeyeon looked at Yoonji who was trailing off, she cautiously asked, “Is it because they might not taste as good compared to those made by professionals?”
“No, even leaving that aside, adults usually like different things, you know.”
“Really?”
Taeyeon became curious about what that might be.
If possible, she wanted to give Chairman Cha something that many adults would like.
“What is it?”
Yoonji, looking as if she didn’t know, said, “Money!”
“Huh?”
“He likes anything given in money the most.”
“Oh…”
Disappointment was evident on Taeyeon’s face.
Seeing that, Yoonji shrugged her shoulders.
“Don’t you believe it?”
“No, I believe it. But…”
If it was money, Taeyeon thought it might not look good to add a few pennies to the person with the most money in Korea, so that’s why she was saying this.
