“Director, are you going to keep treating me like this, soothing me like a child?”
“What should I do then? Prosecutor Jin La-in, more like a child than our Taesung Orphanage kids. Moreover, our kids are well-behaved, so if I did this much, they would drink it on their own. So, go ahead and try it.”
“I know you’re the director of Taesung Orphanage. But are you saying it as if you personally took care of each of those kids…!”
“Does it say in the law that the director shouldn’t go and see the kids in person? Since the Taesung incident, he has been busy dealing with it, but before that, he went to the kids and used it for them.”
“Even if those kids were soothed that way, it’s not the same for me, is it?”
“It’s really amazing how well someone who has been soothed all along can be. I thought I was a pro at soothing Prosecutor Jin La-in.”
His words were not wrong, so La-in frowned, seriously contemplating.
Whether the tenderness coming from him made La-in into a child, or whether La-in, acting like a child, made him lower his gaze to match her eye level like he would with a child, was confusing.
“But is that important now? Are you going to keep wasting time like this?”
In the tense standoff between the two, La-in had no excuse to continue being obstinate. Her hand slid down from her mouth.
“Well, I want to feed you, but you shouldn’t spill it, so hold it and try drinking.”
La-in received the bottle with a lifeless gesture. After repeatedly chanting to herself, ‘This is beer,’ she brought the bottle to her lips.
As the bottle tilted, she emitted screams like a dolphin. Song-kang looked at her with admiration, saying, “Oh, oh,” even though he didn’t actually say anything.
By the time the bottle was almost empty, Song-kang took out a small square envelope. He bit the end of the envelope and twisted his head.
From the torn envelope, a green candy with a grape flavor protruded. After tasting it himself, he stuffed it into La-in’s mouth, who had finished the medicine.
La-in’s eyes squinted when she received the candy. Her face, which had been quite wrinkled a moment ago, suddenly smoothed out as if someone had lifted her eyebrows and stretched her forehead.
He started to explore the sweetness in her mouth.
It took nearly 30 minutes for the large candy to melt, but to him, it felt as short as 30 seconds.
La-in blushed in embarrassment. It was a situation where a moment ago, she had intended to ask why nothing was being done.
However, by blocking her mouth like this, the angry senses were instantly appeased. If the ability to handle La-in like this was a skill, then it was a skill.
“I said I could calm Prosecutor Jin La-in. Didn’t I?”
He casually threw out a word and stepped on the accelerator, driving the car.
Geum-moran was struggling to figure out how to break through this situation. It was crazy that Chairman Na, stuck in his study, didn’t say a word to her. However, she couldn’t just sit still and do nothing until Chairman Na opened his mouth.
“Director, why can’t I get in touch with you like this?”
Ah, I’m sorry. As you know, the current situation is…
“Come to the art museum right now.”
Ah… I’m sorry, but… I can’t leave the company right now.
“Director, it didn’t seem like you were going to come to work today, did it?”
Ah…
Quick-witted Geum-moran suspected whether the director had changed his mind.
“Director, you’re not thinking of leaving me behind, are you? There’s no one to take care of you over there. You’ll have to stand in line well to survive. If you don’t appear in front of me right now, we’ll go our separate ways.”
Not long after Geum-moran hung up the phone, the head of the legal department appeared in the director’s office.
“Chairman, you misunderstand.”
“Have you not taken any actions that could be misunderstood by the Head of Legal Affairs? Until now, I still don’t know what happened during Chairman Na’s summoning investigation schedule. Does this make sense?”
The Head of Legal Affairs didn’t know where to start the conversation. Should he start by revealing the fact that Geum-moran had swapped Chairman Na’s will or talk about the facts that hadn’t been reported to Chairman Na during the summoning investigation?
“Well, you know, you don’t know, right? Prosecutor Jin La-in’s style… I touched Chairman Na’s nerve that day.”
Geum-moran did not withdraw her suspicious gaze. The Head of Legal Affairs constantly felt that something was different about her.
At that moment, Geum-moran’s secretary knocked and entered. The secretary had a very awkward expression.
“Um, I received a call asking about Director’s summoning investigation schedule.”
Finally, it had arrived.
“Okay. Go and check.”
After the secretary left, a brief silence ensued.
“Director, why don’t you say something?”
“You probably need to attend.”
Geum-moran closed her eyes tightly and then burst into laughter. She looked at the Head of Legal Affairs with a cold expression.
“Is that all you have to say now?!”
“It’s embarrassing, but Deputy Chief Na Song-rim’s case was big…”
Even if it wasn’t the Na Song-rim case, preventing Chairman Na’s attendance investigation would have been a challenging task. Geum-moran couldn’t deny that part either.
“Now there’s no choice but to go for the investigation…”
Geum-moran made an effort to calm down with a calm gaze.
“Prosecutor Jin La-in has excellent investigative abilities, but also, Director Na Song-kang…”
Before the Head of Legal Affairs finished speaking, Geum-moran opened her eyes terrifyingly and gave an inexplicable smile.
“If they went to such lengths to investigate me, I won’t just stand by. I won’t go. You handle it yourself.”
It was unclear who her remarks were aimed at. The Head of Legal Affairs became uneasy at Geum-moran’s meaningful words. Moreover, he couldn’t figure out what or who she believed in so firmly.
“At most, they’ll come barging into my house. What else can they do?”
“Madam, if they come for a home search in the current situation…”
“Do whatever you want. Not a single blink. By the way, I need to trim the tail. Who would be suitable? Director, would you like to do it for me?”
Trimming the tail meant finding someone to take the blame instead. The Head of Legal Affairs showed visible signs of discomfort, and Geum-moran laughed again.
“Director, it’s a joke. You look so serious; it’s disappointing. I’ve prepared everything for this situation. Don’t worry. Oh, and shall we see Prosecutor Yoon Nan-seul’s face? She might be able to help us again this time.”
It was a series of stories that were better left unheard. The Head of Legal Affairs left the office with a confused mind.
