As he had announced, Ji Han personally visited the charity event site.

In fact, he didn’t want to visit such a shabby place either.

But, just when he was about to launch an apartment brand that he had planned under his own name, a divorce scandal broke out.

He had no choice but to do so, if only for the image of the apartment that had hit rock bottom due to his own scandal.

People at the event glanced at him and, upon making eye contact with Ji Han, they wore awkward smiles.

They were certainly smiling in front of him, but he could hear the whispers from behind.

“Did he get divorced?”

“It seems like they had an affair. So that’s why it got twisted, huh.”

‘How disgusting.’

Ji Han’s face felt like it would cramp from keeping up a forced smile until he left the building.

The damn reporters at the charity event asked me about the divorce.

He felt a deep sense of disillusionment towards reporters who picked out only embarrassing questions.

Ji Han asked Director Kim who was following him.

“Can we leave now?”

“Yes. You have a meeting related to the Intek investment project at 3 pm.”

“…Let’s go.”

As he stepped out of the building, a black sedan was parked in front.

On his way towards the car, a group of reporters spread out before him approached Ji Han.

As if they hadn’t been enough at the event, rushing in like they were on a mission.

After the door opened, a reporter approached Ji Han who was walking towards the rear seat.

“Do you have anything to say about the divorce? The official statement has not been released yet.”

Despite clearly showing a lack of desire to answer anything related to the scandal, they were persistent.

Ji Han stopped walking, turned to face the reporter who had asked him the question.

“The official position will be released soon. There was a misunderstanding. That woman is someone I met after officially divorcing from W Ga.”

“Are you saying the article was a misreport?”

Shutter sounds exploded around him, as if they had bitten into bait.

Ji Han’s eyes sharpened for a moment amidst the questions pouring from all directions.

“What do you think is the reason I asked busy people like you to come here?”

“……”

“If I intended to talk about the divorce, wouldn’t I have held a press conference?”

Ji Han wore an expression of discomfort about the unwelcome topic.

Eventually, the shutter sounds from the reporters surrounding him gradually ceased.

“Do you journalists know how many unmarried teenage mothers there are? How poor the environments are where these children are growing up.”

“……”

“I came here to convey my firm intention to find ways for disadvantaged families, and unmarried mothers to become independent, on behalf of Hojin.”

The reporters, who had lost their words, were just looking at each other, gauging the situation.

Ji Han continued with a pleasant smile, as if nothing had happened.

He continued with such hypocritical words that someone would have laughed if they heard them.

“So, instead of my divorce article, please write articles for those who need it more. I will prepare another place for what you are curious about.”

With those words, Ji Han got into the car.

The reporters who had been hounding him, the gazes of people at the event looking at me, Ji Han was like a bomb ready to explode at any moment.

‘Damn.’

Honestly, he could have just sent someone to deliver the donation.

The fact that he had to waste his time like this, at an important time when he needed to solidify his position as the successor, irritated him.

If it hadn’t been for Yeo Jin, he wouldn’t have had to suffer such humiliation.

From the beginning, he couldn’t understand Yeo Jin, who pushed him this far just because of a brief fling before marriage.

Moreover, the sudden news of Seo Rin’s pregnancy.

Overwhelmed with irritation that welled up, Ji Han nervously brushed his hair back.

“How much longer until we reach the company?”

“We will arrive in thirty minutes.”

As soon as Ji Han closed his eyes, an unbearable silence descended in the car.

The chief officer, Kim, and the driver were just glancing at Ji Han through the rearview mirror, gauging the situation.

It was lunchtime when the meeting ended.

Senior Young Jun, who had gone downstairs first, promised to keep a seat for me while I was wrapping up the meeting.

As I received my food and looked around, he waved at me from not far away.

The moment of joy at finding my senior was fleeting as I caught sight of the unwelcome juniors sitting on the side.

‘Why does it have to be next to that group?’

As I moved towards where he was, I caught the eyes of Seo Rin, who was walking over with her tray.

Seo Rin also seemed to have spotted the senior sitting with her peers eating lunch and frowned.

“Seo Rin, over here!”

Seo Rin turned at the sound of the junior announcer calling her.

I followed Seo Rin, who glanced at me and headed towards the table.

In the end, we all sat at the large, spreadout table and began to eat.

“Is this table exclusive to the programming department? It’s all from the announcer team.”
