“Our designer?”

With a curious expression, Hae Sun closely examined Seo Ha’s face before soon breaking into a smile.

“I expect great results. A talented individual has joined our company.”

“How do you know if I’m talented or not?”

“You can tell by looking at the eyes. Our Secretary Ryu has good eyes, too.”

Seo Ha hesitated and then carefully asked.

“Do you know Secretary Ryu?”

“He’s our secretary. Come to think of it, I don’t see him. Did he leave early?”

Hae Sun lived in the past but was also present. She found Seo Ha wherever she was.

‘If Yoon Seo Ha appears, Mom might fully return to the present.’

When Yoon Seo Ha’s body was in danger, her soul returned.

It was still a guess, but considering the experiences and the circumstances so far, it was a hypothesis that almost perfectly matched.

Until now, she had thought that just as Yoon Seo Ha entered Jo Seo Ha’s body, Jo Seo Ha would be inside Yoon Seo Ha’s body. She wouldn’t be awake, but she would be sleeping inside.

“Mom, I don’t know.”

Seo Ha mumbled quietly.

“What happens to Jo Seo Ha when I find myself? Where is Jo Seo Ha?”

Hae Sun’s gaze had already returned to the empty wallpaper. No one knew what she was looking at, but the slight smile on her lips was nothing but happy.

“You’re not serious, right? About creating a new design room.”

As soon as Ji Soo mentioned it, Lee Seung Oh pinched his forehead.

“It’s not something I can decide on my own. We need to have a meeting.”

“But you’re the CEO.”

“Just because I’m the CEO doesn’t mean I can do whatever I want.”

While giving a vague answer, Lee Seung Oh took off his jacket and held it out. However, as expected, Ji Soo’s hand, which was supposed to take the jacket and hang it up, was nowhere to be found.

“Honey?”

Lee Seung Oh turned around, his eyes meeting Ji Soo’s.

“Why are you like that?”

Ji Soo’s expression was as if she was about to burst into tears.

“I, I don’t like it.”

“Even if you don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do. Anyway, Jo Seo Ha had the best results at this evaluation meeting. If Jo Seo Ha feels cornered and quits in this situation, the entire next season would be ruined.”

“What about me? I, I was suspended unfairly, and now I’m back!”

“That’s why we’re separating it, for you not to be stressed. Let’s talk about it later since we need to go through an executive meeting first.”

Ji Soo knew very well that the ‘separation’ was for Jo Seo Ha, not for her. However, she couldn’t say it out loud. It would make her feel miserable just by mentioning it.

“Then, honey.”

Ji Soo clenched her teeth and reached out to take Seung Oh’s jacket.

“Talk about it at the meeting and let me launch the brand.”

“Brand?”

Lee Seung Oh furrowed his brow and asked back.

“You said we’re launching a new brand, right? I, I want to do that. I want to create a brand with my name on it.”

“Honey, a brand is.”

“You said you love me.”

Tears were about to fall from her large eyes. Lee Seung Oh tried to say something but just sighed instead.

“Alright. I’ll bring it up at tomorrow’s meeting.”

As soon as Ji Soo heard that, she realized something.

The brand, it’s not for me.

He didn’t say ‘let’s do that.’ He said, ‘I’ll bring it up.’

When he first hired her as a designer, when she was promoted to team leader, and when he took care of designers who ignored and looked down on Ji Soo during those times, he hadn’t given such an ambiguous answer.

There was only one way. Make Lee Seung Oh clearly aware of the fact that Jo Seo Ha had neither the qualifications nor the ability.

“I’m sorry. I just wanted to act a little spoiled.”

Ji Soo lowered her gaze slightly and spoke in a defeated voice.

“Actually, I know that I need a new design room or a brand. I also know that Jo Seo Ha is talented. It’s just… I didn’t like the idea of you being interested in another woman because of those things. Her name is also Seo Ha, like Yoon Seo Ha.”

Upon hearing the name ‘Yoon Seo Ha,’ Lee Seung Oh furrowed his brow.

“Why are you bringing up Yoon Seo Ha?”

“It’s interesting. Jo Seo Ha also designs like Yoon Seo Ha, right? She’s talented… And their styles seem a bit similar. If they just put out clothes, I wouldn’t know if Yoon Seo Ha or Jo Seo Ha made them.”

“She probably studied to join this company. It’s possible to resemble her that way.”

“I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. It’s just that.”

Ji Soo obediently answered and carefully brushed off Seung Oh’s jacket with a clothes brush.

“Create a new design room and let Jo Seo Ha be in charge. I think that’s the right thing to do. What you do is always right.”

Lee Seung Oh’s slightly stiff expression softened. He hugged Ji Soo from behind as she hung his jacket in the closet and planted a soft kiss on her hair.

“I like it when you’re like this, honey. Obedient and putting my words first. You understand? Yoon Seo Ha was never like this.”

“You had a hard time because of that, right? I won’t be like that.”

“Of course. That’s why I chose you. In fact, I was worried about what to do because your tantrums had increased lately.”
