Since the words “I won’t care even if you die soon” didn’t come out, Doha’s eyes narrowed.
“It’s okay since you’re already taking good care of her without me saying anything.”
If Secretary Kim heard it, the response would be stomping the ground and complaining.
The road to Fritz Hotel, 20 minutes away from home, was quiet at a time when people avoided commuting.
“Haeyeon, come on.”
Doha, who got out of the car, reached out his hand to Haeyeon. The attention of the people entering the hotel turned to them, a striking couple.
“Thank you.”
Haeyeon smiled as she bumped fists with Doha and walked. The interior was bustling with invited guests and reporters.
Before the formal ceremony in the evening, the lunch meeting was a private time to talk about business-related matters, creating a warm atmosphere.
Since the main formal event was in the evening, Haeyeon had nothing specific to do until then, so she just needed to stay by Doha’s side until the evening.
“Haeyeon, I’m sorry. It must have been boring.”
“It’s okay, Mr. Doha.”
Doha asked with concern towards Haeyeon, who had been wearing heels since noon until sunset. He bent down and carefully checked her feet, worried that her heels might be hurting again, like at the last party.
Adapted to the previous party, Haeyeon reassured Doha with a less flushed face.
“Now that it’s the last one, just endure a little more.”
“…”
Even though she had only attended such an event once or twice, Doha worried as if it were Haeyeon’s first time. Haeyeon, on the other hand, felt sorry for him, knowing full well that there was not a single mature place inside him.
“I wish time would pass quickly.”
Looking at Doha smiling while shaking hands with others for a moment, Haeyeon hoped that Partner Day would end smoothly.
Inside the venue, nearly 200 representatives from partner companies were present. In addition, to establish partnerships for handling breakfast, dinner, room drinks, and various foods, Miwon Foods, the leading food company, and Gilmyung Confectionery, which followed closely, exerted their efforts.
The top executives of food and distribution companies were also present, showcasing the dignity of Fritz Hotel.
“Your mother is also here.”
“…It’s not the kind of place to skip greetings.”
Seeing Chairman Yoon Myung-gil sitting in the VIP seat, Haeyeon felt a thorn in her throat, but as it was a formal occasion, she put a smile on her face.
Finally, the main event opening performance began. In the center of the Grand Ballroom, a violinist presented a beautiful electric violin performance, and people sent admiring praises.
Following the welcoming remarks by the CEO of the organizing committee, unexpected names were called during the partner cooperation speech.
“Next is a keynote speech by Director Lee Soo-rin of Miwon Foods.”
With the introduction by the host, Lee Soo-rin, who was sitting in her seat, stepped onto the stage. Wearing a cream-colored blouse and black pantsuit, she stood on the platform with a more slender figure.
“…Partner business is the core of growth strategy, allowing partners to maximize high value creation and capability enhancement by predicting and preparing for new business market changes.”
Her celebrity-like beauty, clear pronunciation, and sophisticated rhetoric were enough to attract the attention of the people at the party.
“We, Miwon Foods, will actively support Fritz Hotel with next-generation solutions that can optimize existing infrastructure.”
As the speech ended, thunderous applause erupted, and flashes went off here and there.
“It’s charming, Ms. Surin. Beautiful and intelligent.”
Sammo, the CEO of Kreme Confectionery, a partner of Fritz Hotel, looked at Soo-rin with a satisfied face. Chairman Yoon’s gaze also followed Soo-rin as she gracefully descended from the platform.
“Oh, come to think of it, Chairman Yoon. I thought there was something good happening between Director Lee Soo-rin and Chairman Yoon’s second, wasn’t there?”
It had been four years since Doha married Haeyeon, but the rumor still lingered. To be precise, Chairman Yoon didn’t bother to refute the old, unfounded gossip.
Sammo’s remark, the CEO of Kreme Confectionery, seemed like a statement born out of gossip and curiosity, so Chairman Yoon casually laughed it off.
The people around, including the speaker, responded to her intention and subtly murmured about the topic. Chairman Yoon looked at Min Haeyeon, who stood confidently next to Doha, far away.
Min Haeyeon.
She couldn’t help but be a painful stain in Chairman Yoon Myung-gil’s life. Accepting Min Haeyeon with the thought that love, that petty emotional play, would last at most a year was Chairman Yoon’s defeat.
“Yes, I have to admit that stubbornness.”
Min Haeyeon, who endured any adversity even if she faced trouble in the car, now withstood Soo-rin’s plot. If she had planned to escape, she would have disappeared that evening.
Will take over for Gilmyung Corporation.
Chairman Yoon’s eyebrows creased slightly in the darkness, unnoticed. Thinking about Doha, who staked everything for Min Haeyeon, he still couldn’t hide his absurdity and frustration.
Certainly, it was unexpected that Doha’s business prospered and his abilities rapidly grew thanks to Min Haeyeon.
But that’s it.
“Now that your purpose has been fulfilled, it’s time for you to disappear.”
Activating the video to assist the seminar, in the darkness where the brilliant lights went out, Chairman Yoon’s pupils shone ominously.
