“Um, is this… a real situation?”
The woman asked after reading Seung Oh’s business card several times. She looked funny holding it carefully, as if she couldn’t grip it tightly for fear of crumpling it.
“Do I look like someone with nothing to do?”
“Well, not that, but…”
“Then give it to me. The resume.”
Seung Oh reached out his hand and urged her. The hesitant woman was about to take out her resume from the document envelope and hand it to him.
“I’ll, I’ll look at it first!”
Ji Soo suddenly snatched the resume.
“Ouch!”
The woman’s hand got cut in the process and she made a sad face. Seung Oh quickly examined her finger.
“Did you get a cut?”
“No, I’m fine.”
The woman hurriedly hid her hand behind her back and pretended to be okay. Seung Oh frowned and looked at Ji Soo.
“What are you doing?”
“If she joins the company, I have to, I have to look at it anyway. I’m just curious too.”
The woman couldn’t help but watch as Ji Soo refused to give her the resume. It was pitiful.
“She really is a high school graduate.”
“But, I studied design on my own, even if it was selftaught…”
The woman, who looked like she was about to cry but managed not to shed a tear, seemed even more pitiful than before. Seung Oh frowned and reached out his hand to Ji Soo.
“Give it to me.”
“I’m, I’m still looking at it.”
“Give it.”
“Tsk.”
Ji Soo pouted and handed the resume back to Seung Oh.
“Jo Seo Ha? Your name is Jo Seo Ha?”
“Yes.”
The name ‘Seo Ha’ was like golden shackles to Seung Oh. Ok Soon knew that very well.
‘That woman is too successful for her own good. Our poor son can’t even pray properly because he met the wrong woman.’
Ok Soon’s words, who often grabbed Seung Oh and sighed as if the ground was sinking, still came to his mind from time to time.
Both were named ‘Seo Ha’, but this ‘Jo Seo Ha’ was so different from ‘Yoon Seo Ha’.
Her resume was utterly pathetic. A high school graduate, no TOEIC or TOEFL scores, no study abroad or related work experience. Even if she had brought it directly to the HR department, it would have been shredded as soon as she turned around.
“Let’s take a look at the design.”
The woman handed over the entire document envelope. Seung Oh took out a piece of paper from it and his expression became a bit serious.
“Not bad?”
“Really?”
The anxious woman smiled brightly at Seung Oh’s words.
“It feels like you’ve interpreted Kang Yoon’s identity well. Did you really study design on your own?”
“Yes. Tuition was expensive, and I was the only one in my family who could earn money.”
“Did you keep working? It wasn’t on your resume.”
“I was an accountant. Recently, my health has been really bad, so I took a few years off. But when I heard that Kang Yoon was looking for a designer… Am I being too shameless?”
“Let’s go, brother. We’ve wasted too much time.”
Ji Soo pulled Seung Oh’s arm. Seung Oh handed the resume and portfolio back to the woman and whispered in her ear.
“Submit your resume by mail. Let’s see each other at the interview.”
As they walked away and looked back, the woman was still standing there, dumbfounded. It seemed like she still couldn’t believe the luck given to her.
“Brother.”
Ji Soo tapped Seung Oh to get his attention.
“I, I don’t, don’t feel good.”
“Why? Because of what?”
“Because you were, you were staring too intently at another woman…”
Ji Soo often stuttered when she was anxious or scared. Seung Oh chuckled and gently stroked Ji Soo’s head.
“Are you jealous?”
“I’m, I’m not jealous. Just, just.”
As always, Ji Soo, who quickly bowed her head, was adorable. It was cute that she stuttered in jealousy just because he had exchanged a few words with another woman.
“Honey.”
He whispered affectionately into her ear, and Ji Soo blushed with a shy smile.
“I sincerely love you. I just talked to that woman earlier because it was interesting.”
“Th, then what about the, the resume? You’re not really going to accept her, are you?”
“I’ll think about it.”
Seung Oh evasively replied and quickly entered the lobby. At some point, Ji Soo was pushed halfway out of his mind, and the woman who had been standing alone in the middle of the street filled that spot.
[Congratulations on passing the document screening. The interview date is…]Seo Ha chuckled at the congratulatory message for passing the document screening from Kang Yoon.
“I can’t believe this worked.”
Of course, she had waited for Seung Oh, knowing he always passed by that place at that time. It was also true that she planned to pass the document screening by creating a seemingly coincidental encounter.
However, there was a part of her that hoped the plan would fail. Was it even possible to approve a resume that lacked both education and work experience using his executive authority?
By doing such an absurd thing, Seung Oh proved how much he was running the company into chaos.
“Yeah. Let’s meet again at the company.”
Seo Ha shuddered at Seung Oh’s pathetic behavior and opened the wardrobe door, only to be disappointed once again.
