He was thinking of covering an entire corner of the office with this chocolate. That way, he could lure Tae Yeon here.
“Ah, I’m also going to keep some at home, so please procure as much as possible.”
Secretary Choi looked like he had many questions.
Why did someone who had never tasted chocolate suddenly want to stockpile it?
Then, as if he had an idea of the reason, he asked Do Jun with an excited expression.
“Sir, by any chance, are you thinking of acquiring this chocolate brand?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Or are you considering a collaboration with KK Food?”
Secretary Choi naturally judged that there must be a business connection between Do Jun and the chocolate company. Because he wouldn’t buy chocolate just to eat.
Do Jun flatly denied Secretary Choi’s speculation.
“No. I mean, buy it for consumption.”
“……”
“I’m worried about the chocolate melting, so it would be good to buy a refrigerator as well.”
“Understood.”
“You may leave.”
((()))((()))((()))
Tae Yeon was worried that Do Jun might have heard the conversation between her and President Jin.
‘Why was he in the emergency staircase at that time?’
And why did he suddenly give her chocolate?
Staring at the computer monitor with the internet turned on, Tae Yeon was lost in thought.
“What does he mean, ‘come whenever you want to eat’?”
There were more than one or two questions that arose from the short time she spent with him.
Don’t attribute meaning unnecessarily. Don’t be curious about the intention.
Despite telling herself this, her curiosity was not easily resolved.
“Deputy Jin!”
“Huh?”
“Why aren’t you answering when I call you? What are you thinking about so deeply?”
Yoon Ji sat next to Tae Yeon, asking worriedly.
“I was just sorting out what I need to do today. What’s up?”
“Did you hear the amazing news I just got?”
All kinds of gossip happening inside the company gathered with Yoon Ji and spread from there.
Assuming it would be some trivial thing again, Tae Yeon responded reluctantly.
“What is it?”
“Our company seems to have an internal couple.”
“An internal couple?”
She had no idea so far. Nor did she expect the story related to her to come out of Yoon Ji’s mouth next.
“Well, Deputy Park went to the emergency staircase a little while ago.”
It was ominous. The story about the emergency staircase.
Tae Yeon swallowed her saliva and waited for Yoon Ji’s next words.
“And there…”
Yoon Ji gestured for her to come closer. Hearing Yoon Ji whispering into her ear, Tae Yeon bit her lower lip.
“They were feeding each other something very affectionately.”
Yoon Ji chuckled as if it was incredibly surprising.
Who saw what where? Anxiety and impatience swirled in her heart all at once.
“Really?”
The only words she could muster were those two. She wanted to dig deeper, but she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hide the trembling in her voice.
Fortunately, Yoon Ji seemed too engrossed in her own talk to pay attention to Tae Yeon’s response.
“I didn’t get a good look, but they seemed to be feeding each other…chocolate?”
Ah. She was doomed. The fact that she heard the conversation about chocolate meant there was a high chance she had seen who the man and woman in that space were.
Was it possible that Yoon Ji knew everything and brought up this story to her?
Just as Tae Yeon was about to ask, Yoon Ji got up from her seat with a disappointed expression.
“She didn’t get to see who it was.”
“Really?”
Tae Yeon voiced her relief.
“Yeah. She was worried that if she got closer to see their faces, she would get caught spying, so she hesitated.”
“I see.”
“Ha, and that just made me more curious. I mean, she could have just peeked in a bit…”
Tae Yeon let out a sigh of relief behind Yoon Ji’s back. Leaving a promise to tell her who the office couple was once she found out, Yoon Ji was the first to leave.
This time it was a great relief that she hadn’t been caught, but she had to be even more careful in the future.
Furthermore, she and Do Jun were not just office couples, they were married.
If they were discovered, the company’s people might feel deceived.
She just had to hang on for six months, then the period promised with Hye Sook would end. So she had to keep the secret without anyone knowing until then.

A conference room gathered to discuss new product development.
It was the day to announce the decision passed through the executive meeting among the submitted proposals.
The plan that passed this time could immediately go for new product development, and those who did not had to come up with ideas again.
Everyone sat in the conference room hoping that the plan they submitted would pass at once, waiting for Do Jun’s instructions.
“The plan that best suits this issue, dieting is.”
What Do Jun showed on the screen was the one submitted by Tae Yeon.
“I judged it to be Jin’s Deputy.”
Everyone looked at Tae Yeon at the same time and applauded. Tae Yeon, who received both envious and congratulatory looks at the same time, sat in her seat, bowed her head slowly, and smiled faintly.
“Deputy Jin, based on the ideas submitted, let’s make more improvements and proceed with new product development.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Deputy Jin, stay behind and see me.”
People who didn’t get their proposals passed at once had to come up with other ideas, so they left the conference room with a full burden.
The conference room left with only two people after everyone left.
Tae Yeon was first scared that Do Jun might start a personal conversation again.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
