“Indeed, correct. What is?”

Seo Yeon stared at Min Hyuk, who omitted the detailed followup.

“Mr. Han, were you in New York?”
Seo Yeon recalled Min Hyuk’s profile that Secretary Choi had recited.

Do you want to emphasize that you were in New York?

Despite having no connection because of different schools, his intention to pretend to know was suspicious.

Yet, she forced a smile and spoke.

“It was a while ago. Shall we sit down now?”
It was a clear indication to get down to business.

With an amused expression, Min Hyuk briskly walked and sat on the white sofa.

“I’ve prepared it to your taste. Let’s start lightly.”
Seo Yeon subtly pushed the luxury tea cup and dessert in front of him.

Seeing the familiarlooking dessert, Min Hyuk chuckled.

Why do you keep laughing? He looks so cold.

Although Min Hyuk’s behavior annoyed Seo Yeon, she didn’t want to attach any particular significance to it.

Once she saw him pick up the tea cup, Seo Yeon began to introduce the company in detail.

She went on to discuss the investment scale he had previously mentioned, emphasizing that they could handle it.

However, he took a bite of the brownie with an indescribable look on his face and said,

“I have a good memory.”
Although Seo Yeon’s eyes asked ‘So what?’ her mouth spat out different words.

“Oh, is that so? I envy you. So, after touring the company, I will explain the investment scale related to this collaboration in more detail.”
Impatient by nature, Seo Yeon was itching to discuss the specifics.

“Somewhere in my memory, there is Ms. Han…”
At Min Hyuk’s words, Seo Yeon’s eyes narrowed.

She wondered what tricks this man with a cute girlfriend like a rabbit was playing.

“Oh. Of course, President Choi is in my memory too. Since last Monday’s meeting room. So…”
Lightly brushing aside Min Hyuk’s words, Seo Yeon resumed discussing work.

“It’s a shame you don’t remember at all. But I guess that’s possible. It was so long ago.”
Seo Yeon tilted her head at his words, which seemed to be based on some solid evidence.

‘Where have I seen this man…’

Seo Yeon’s sharp gaze quickly swept him from head to toe.

Given that he didn’t look ordinary, if she had met him, she couldn’t forget.

If it was a long time ago, she would have to go back to her days studying abroad, but she didn’t remember anything.

Of course, if they had passed by each other, it would be natural not to remember.

However, looking at his expression saying ‘try to guess’, it didn’t seem like he was making things up with unfounded words.

“Well, I can’t remember well…….”
As Seo Yeon made a difficult face, Min Hyuk no longer continued his enigmatic words.

“Take your time, there’s no rush.”
If he was a person with a distinct presence, she figured she’d remember him at some point, so Seo Yeon decided not to be curious anymore.

After sharing some simple refreshments, the two roamed the Haniblack building from the first floor.

Seo Yeon and Min Hyuk walked side by side, and Director Kim and Secretary Choi followed as if accompanying them, five steps behind.

Seo Yeon introduced the current production scale and the design manpower of the two brands.

Even when enjoying the refreshments, Min Hyuk’s tone and gaze, which had been light, turned serious in an instant.

He pointed out without hesitation the questions that pierced the holes and the problems she wanted to hide even in the short explanation.

‘Needlessly sharp.’
As he seemed to be worth his title of representative, Seo Yeon was also careful in her speech.

Only after carefully checking the new product samples did he return to the office.

This time, Director Kim and Secretary Choi also joined.

She handed him the catalog prepared by the PR team, neatly prepared data, and a report summarizing the changes in home shopping sales.

Each time a concrete discussion came and went, Director Kim pointed out the necessary matters at the right time and place.

“I’ll hand over the materials received today to the planning office, and direct a meeting with the workinglevel staff.”
As the conversation was gradually winding down, Seo Yeon felt she should ask about his next schedule as a matter of courtesy.

“Do you have a previous engagement this evening?”
At Seo Yeon’s question, Min Hyuk turned his body and leaned his torso.

An unobtrusive white musk scent blew in for a moment.

“I’d have to break it if I did.”
He seemed quite pleased with Seo Yeon’s offer to have dinner together.

“You don’t have to go that far. If you have one, next time, if you don’t, will you get up now?”
Min Hyuk, who seemed amused, asked as he got up from his seat.

“Where should I go?”
“I’ll give you the address. Secretary Choi?”
As Seo Yeon was about to instruct Min Hyuk’s driver to give the address, he held up his hand.

“Aren’t you going with CEO Han?”
“Isn’t your driver waiting?”
Instead of answering, Seo Yeon returned the question.

“I’m not comfortable with cars driven by others, maybe because I’ve lived in America for a long time. I drove myself. Let’s go in my car.”
