Disciplinary committee the day after tomorrow?

Seo Rin was sitting deep in the sofa.

The chattering voice of her colleague came over the phone.

“Uh huh, the day after tomorrow. I’m so nervous, what should I do?”

It’s understandable to be nervous. Oh dear, why didn’t you speak up earlier? You’re just making it worse by suffering alone.

Seo Rin held back an involuntary bitter laugh that was about to burst out.

How could she go around saying that she had stolen the fiance of her closest senior?

The good news amongst the bad was that she was not entirely without allies in the broadcasting station.

Her colleagues had stepped in to explain for her while she was on leave from the news.

Rumors surrounding her and Yeo Jin spread rapidly.

Regardless of the truth, her story was more stimulating, so people’s interest snowballed.

Seo Rin smiled a satisfied smile.

“How can I say such a thing….. Yeo Jin is also precious to me.”

You’re still worried about her after what Anchor Yoon did to you? It’s over for those two, now that the expose article has blown up.

“I wish the penalty for her would end lightly too……”

Seo Rin managed to spit out words she didn’t mean.

She heard the disgusted voice of her colleague on the other side of the phone.

Seo Rin, snap out of it. This is not something to let slide. We have to make sure they can’t step foot in the broadcasting station again.

‘Yes, inflate the rumor more. Make sure they can’t show their faces in the media ever again.’

Just by throwing this small bait, they bit hard.

She didn’t even need to step in personally, they were tearing each other apart and hating each other enough for her to be grateful.

Seo Rin was thinking of resigning from the broadcasting station with the perfect excuse of marriage and pregnancy.

It was unfair to simply accept the tarnished image of a mistress.

Thanks to this, Yeo Jin’s image had also hit rock bottom, which was a good thing.

The furious voice of her colleague came over the phone.

What the hell is going on, engaged to someone and messing around with the fiance’s brother? No conscience. Pretending to be high and mighty in front of the camera. You know how that senior subtly disrespects people, right?

“There are times when Yeo Jin’s gaze is scary. Oh, someone’s looking for me.”

When the doorbell rang from the entrance, Seo Rin got up from the sofa.

“I’ll call you back.”

She rushed to the door, pressing the end call button hastily.

‘It must be Oppa!’

Ji Han had been strangely out of touch for a few days. Seo Rin opened the door without even looking at the intercom.

“Oppa! Why are you……, huh?”

Seo Rin, who opened the door with a surprised face, froze on the spot.

“Ms. Seo Rin.”

The person who greeted her with a nod was not Ji Han. Director Kim was visible beyond the widely opened door.

“Chairman Seo has asked you to come with me immediately.”

Without hiding his disappointment, he spoke gently to Seo Rin.

.

The car driven by Director Kim drove for quite a while.

The place they arrived at was a deserted riverbank in the suburbs.

‘A riverside? Why did he call me to such a place?’

Seo Rin moved into the car where Ji Han was waiting, but he didn’t say a word.

Ji Han was merely checking documents on his tablet, sitting motionless in the back seat.

‘Is he angry about that article?’

Seo Rin could not forget his fierce gaze that swept over her the moment she got into the car.

He had never looked at me with such sharp eyes before, the air inside the car heavily pressed down on Seo Rin.

After all… was the problem that I had published an article exposing the relationship between Yeo Jin and Jae Ha on my own?

Just as she was twiddling her thumbs nervously, a familiar voice pierced her ears.

“There will be a disciplinary committee meeting.”

“……Yes, it’s the day after tomorrow.”

Ji Han closed the cover of the tablet he was looking at.

“I told you not to break the scandal news. But it was all over the internet.”

“That is……”

Seo Rin involuntarily swallowed her saliva.

She thought the exposé was a pretty good idea, but Ji Han had firmly said it was not. Without any additional explanation.

Seo Rin knew it was a shallow move that could be exposed at any time.

However, it was an article that had to be broken in order to confirm her marriage with Ji Han.

When Ji Han’s sharp gaze turned towards her, Seo Rin shrank back.

“I, I had no choice but to protect us. Besides, Oppa, you can’t say that the article is 100% false, can you?”

Of course, Seo Rin didn’t know everything about the relationship between those two.

However, that article was a plausible hypothesis to anyone who read it.

Jae Ha, who had accepted Yeo Jin to reclaim his heir position, and Yeo Jin, who had manipulated the two brothers at her fingertips.

‘What does it matter what the truth is? And who knows, those two might have been seeing each other for a long time.’

This mudfight was meaningless to Seo Rin.

All she had to do was secure her place by Ji Han’s side.
