Dojun reassured Taeyeon that it wasn’t her fault.
“If a thief is caught, it’s correct to blame the person who stole rather than scold the one who mistakenly left the item.”
When Taeyeon reluctantly smiled, Dojun changed the subject.
“Ms. Jintae Yeon, shall we go on vacation together when we release the new product?”
To that innocent question, Taeyeon smiled softly.
“If we take a vacation at the same time, won’t everyone misunderstand?”
“So what.”
Whether Dojun was with Taeyeon or not seemed to be the only important thing.
Without saying anything, Taeyeon rested her face on Dojun’s chest.
Will there be a day when they can freely travel and spend holidays together?
She knew it was impossible, but the desire to do so kept emerging.
Hastily covering her face to erase those thoughts.
The emergency stair door on the lower floor creaked open, and the sound of someone entering could be heard.
Startled, Taeyeon tried to pull away, but Dojun didn’t loosen his arms around her.
Taeyeon, clenching her fist, lightly knocked on Dojun’s solid chest as if knocking on a door.
Then, she whispered with her mouth.
“Someone is coming.”
“I know.”
In an uncharacteristic manner, Dojun only pulled Taeyeon closer to himself.
Then, leaning down, he whispered softly into her ear.
“Something interesting is about to happen.”
“What?”
“Let’s quietly observe from here.”
Dojun acted as if he knew something was about to happen.
“First, let go of this.”
Taeyeon managed to escape from Dojun’s embrace.
Frighteningly, the door to the emergency stairs where the two were opened quietly.
Taeyeon, without showing it, took a step back from Dojun, still shocked.
Even though she knew it was an emergency exit that anyone could use, if she hadn’t managed to get away from him…
Thinking she would have been caught by the person who just entered, Taeyeon slowly raised her head.
“Oh?”
Upon discovering a familiar face, Taeyeon opened her mouth, and the person silently signaled her to be quiet by placing a finger on his lips.
When Taeyeon nodded, the man closed the emergency stair door silently.
Dojun looked as if he knew the person was coming and waited for him.
After a while, loud noises came from downstairs.
“Hey, Jintaejin!”
Too familiar and a name that shouldn’t be heard in this place, Taeyeon subtly raised her eyes.
Dojun also focused on the voices coming from below.
“Surely you didn’t plan to erase the company CCTV that day?”
Dojun nodded, exchanging glances with the audit team leader.
The one making the call downstairs was Shirak.
Taeyeon was so surprised that she couldn’t breathe properly.
Taejin and Shirak.
Shirak and Taejin.
What could be the connection between these two for Shirak to be talking about the company’s CCTV?
As she was thinking about it, Dojun recalled what he had talked about in the car.
An attempt by someone to access the company’s main server and delete the CCTV footage.
Taeyeon closed her eyes tightly.
The person who made things escalate to this point could be Mr. Jintaejin or maybe Taejin.
She had anticipated the possibility that the person responsible for this might be Mr. Jin or Taejin, but when she thought it might actually be the case, her fingertips trembled.
Why is he going to such lengths?
That question swirled up to the tip of her tongue.
“I just came back from being called to the audit team. They don’t even think it’s related to what Jintaejin did.”
Upon hearing that, Taeyeon slowly opened her closed eyes.
With Shirak’s words, everything became clear.
The attempt to deliberately pass information to a competitor, create a situation with my actions, and conceal it.
“After all, the only one who stayed in the office that day was me, so it seems like I’m going to be exposed for what I did!”
Hearing that, Dojun exchanged glances with the audit team leader once again.
After a while, Shirak angrily ended the call.
A banging sound came from downstairs, and Shirak’s painful voice could be heard.
Dojun whispered with his mouth.
“I’ll go down first.”
The audit team leader expressed his intention to follow.
Before going down, Dojun looked at Taeyeon and smiled slightly.
It was just a smile, but it seemed to contain many emotions.
It conveyed the message that he would no longer let her suffer.
So, trust me.
Taeyeon also smiled brightly at Dojun.
After confirming that, without hesitation, Dojun stepped on the stairs.
In the quiet emergency stairwell, the sound of Dojun’s footsteps and Shirak’s groaning curses mixed together.
“Why isn’t the phone coming through like this?”
When Shirak was complaining while looking at the blackened phone.
Dojun, who had gone downstairs, called him with a low voice.
“Manager Chae.”
“…….”
Shirak, surprised by the cold voice that shouldn’t be heard here, turned around.
As if seeing a ghost, facing Dojun, Shirak was startled and dropped the phone.
Unfortunately, at the same time, a call started to come in from Taejin.
As the fallen phone rang, it began to spin around.
Dojun, looking at the floor as if he had seen something interesting, spoke as he spat it out.
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
“Yes, it’s not an urgent call…”
“I don’t think so. Isn’t this the call you’ve been waiting for more than anyone?”
“Yes? No, but…”
Before Shirak could say anything.
Dojun personally bent down, exuding his presence from the floor, and picked up the phone that was emitting a buzzing sound.
“Answer it.”
Then, with a kind smile, he offered the phone to Shirak.
On the screen, the name ‘Jintaejin’ was shining brightly.
“I’ll answer it later.”
“No, you can answer it here.”
Dojun pressed the green call button himself and switched to speakerphone.
