Even though he was a young CEO, he came here driving himself without a driver?

Seo Yeon, who had quickly adjusted her peculiar gaze, picked up the materials she had prepared.

“Director Kim, Secretary Choi. Please organize the discussion we had earlier by Monday afternoon.”
“Yes, CEO.”
“Please decide on the stage decoration concept once the venue for the Yenny Black promotion is secured. Ah! And also….”
Seo Yeon rolled her eyes around to make sure she hadn’t missed anything.

Then, she sorted out the design drafts on the desk with an ‘Ah!’ and passed them on.

She meticulously checked even the date for the intern hiring interview while packing her bag.

Min Hyuk, leaning slightly against the sofa, took in every detail of Seo Yeon’s actions.

“Let’s go, CEO Choi. I’ll carry our company’s materials.”
Min Hyuk approached as Seo Yeon, with her long hair tossed back and bag in hand, was about to leave.

“There’s a lot of stuff, I’ll carry these materials. They’re mine anyway.”
He then took the materials from Seo Yeon’s arms and went ahead.

Seo Yeon, who had been watching the big man’s back, made a sign to Secretary Choi and Director Kim and sighed with a weary look.

The two then clenched their fists and silently cheered ‘fighting’ with just the shape of their mouths.

((()))((()))((()))

At BI, a Korean dining place located in Cheongdamdong.

The modernly expressed Korean interior and the calm classic music blended harmoniously.

For a while, the awkwardness was forgotten, as Seo Yeon was occupied with work talk.

“Actually, I tried an athleisure look this time and the response was quite good. I’m thinking of developing it into an independent brand. I’m curious about what you think, CEO.”
Seo Yeon was just waiting for an opportunity to prove that her business sense and design skills would be a good choice for DN.

Min Hyuk watched Seo Yeon with interest.

“CEO Han.”
Seo Yeon, who put a bitesized rolled rice leaf in her mouth, waited for his next words.

“Shall we change the subject?”
“The topic… Ah! Should I talk about the product that’s going to be broadcast this Saturday?”
“Haha. CEO Han, you’re really serious about work. Do you do the same with dating?”
Caught off guard by the sudden personal question, Seo Yeon was thinking about how to respond when she remembered that woman.

“What about you, CEO Choi, did you have a date with the woman you met at the hotel?”
Min Hyuk pretended not to understand and said.

“Who? Date? I don’t have anyone to meet. Who are you talking about?”
Seo Yeon mimicked the woman’s tone as if she had witnessed something and he was talking nonsense.

“‘Why didn’t you contact me. Oppa. I hate you. Hee hee.’ You know, like that. Don’t you remember? That woman who looked quite young.”

Seo Yeon’s terrible acting made Min Hyuk chuckle.

Good. Very good, the more I think about it, the better it gets.

Even from a woman’s point of view, she was definitely fluffy and cute.

Min Hyuk, whose laughter wouldn’t easily subside, continued to chuckle. Seeing this, Seo Yeon looked at him with discontent, only for Min Hyuk to pull out his phone.

He then slid his phone towards Seo Yeon.

“What is this… exactly?”

In the picture of a female idol about to debut from a major agency, there was a girl he had seen at the hotel.

“There, read the article properly.”

Article?

A name ‘Min Ji’ was mentioned in the article below the picture.

“Min Ji, the subvocalist, turns out to be a diamond spoon, revealed as the youngest daughter of DN Department Store.”

Seo Yeon alternately looked at the phone and Min Hyuk.

“She’s the youngest daughter of my fourth uncle. So, she’s my much younger cousin. They’ve reserved a suite because they said it would be a mess when she officially debuts. What did they say? They said they would party hard?”

Seo Yeon, feeling like she had misunderstood, quietly and quickly returned Min Hyuk’s phone.

“Because you, the CEO, have such great style… haha. I thought she was your girlfriend with a slight age difference… I’ve made a huge misunderstanding.”

“I’ll take the compliment about my style, and correct that misunderstanding. I feel relieved.”

Not that there was anything to feel relieved about.

“I was a bit uncomfortable because you seemed to have seen something you shouldn’t have that day.”

Indeed. Who hugs their cousin like that?

“It looked too intimate. Both my father and I are only children, so we don’t have many relatives, which seems to have led to the misunderstanding.”

“Oh, you’re a precious only daughter.”

“No, a disobedient daughter.”

Seo Yeon added that her mother didn’t know how much she scolded her.

“I’m a youngest son who gets scolded a lot. They usually tell me to go on a blind date.”

As soon as Min Hyuk mentioned blind dates, Seo Yeon’s eyes widened in strong agreement.

“How far have you been on blind dates? Ha. I’m notorious among my mom’s friends.”

There were all valid reasons why Seo Yeon became notorious.

After being betrayed by her exboyfriend, she shied away from dating altogether, using the excuse of being busy.

Then, as her only daughter seemed to declare singleness, her parents’ worries soared.

What started as mild concerns soon turned into a storm of nagging.

For this reason, Seo Yeon had no choice but to attend arranged meetings once a month. Of course, she was currently taking a break, using the launch of a secondary brand as an excuse.

Since the meetings were coerced from the beginning, Seo Yeon’s attitude towards them was far from kind.

However, she hadn’t acted in a manner that justified being called a total mess.

She had simply conveyed clearly and unequivocally that she had no intention of marrying.

After that, whether it was the tea or the meal, Seo Yeon paid for everything.

“I’m being called a mess, and you can add crazy to that.”
Crazy? It somehow fits.

Understanding why women might have said such things, Seo Yeon unknowingly nodded her head.

“Huh? If President Han agrees here, what does that make me? Ha. My mother should give up on me sooner rather than later.”
Min Hyuk looked at Seo Yeon with a gentle gaze.

Eyes wide open, Seo Yeon put the last piece of braised ribs into her mouth and said,

“I hope for a peaceful agreement.”
Chuckling, Min Hyuk laughed again.

“To stop seeing annoying blind dates, I might suggest to President Han that we pretend to be dating.”
Seo Yeon smiled a winner’s smile at his playful suggestion which reflected his personal feelings.

“It seems like I won’t have any annoying matters in the future.”
“Has President Han’s mother given up on her hopeless daughter?”
“Not yet. But it’s because I don’t date that she arranges blind dates. She wouldn’t force me if I start dating.”
The sunlike smile spread across Seo Yeon’s face as she spoke of the beginning of a relationship. Then she thought of a large man who was only adorable to her eyes.

“My love is soon.”
“Soon?”
One of Min Hyuk’s eyebrows twitched.

“I’m actively flirting. You should hurry up, President Choi.”
Min Hyuk’s forehead creased slightly. Then, unable to help himself, he opened his mouth.
