“What’s important is that the current chairman is a puppet of the Jo Young Gap and Jo Young Mi siblings. Unlike Seo Jeong Gyu, who grew up outside, Seo Hong Gyu seems to have not received a successor’s education, let alone a proper education. It seems that way when you see him always bringing Jo Young Gap to important contracts or meetings.”
“Continue.”
“Jo Young Gap is hiding behind Seo Se Ji or Chairman Seo and manipulating the company as he wishes.”
“What’s the situation at the company?”
“Since they pulled out the company’s pillars to do political lobbying, the business approvals are going well. There’s no power to block them. It’s the perfect condition to sell off at a high price. If they don’t make an issue out of the fraudulent accounting.”
“So it’s just a façade.”
“Yes, it’s a hollow gingerbread. If this investment case is not successful, they won’t even be able to maintain that flashy facade.”
Nok Hyun, who had been quietly organizing his thoughts, suddenly spoke.

“Please make sure whether the person who tried to kill my wife’s parents and my wife is Seo Hong Gyu or Jo Young Gap.”
Jeha, who was casually nodding, noticed the strangeness and shook his head.

“What? It was so natural that I almost said okay.”
“I recently cleared out the executives, and one director’s position is vacant.”
At Nok Hyun’s words, Jeha, who was just blinking his eyes, slowly smiled.

“I will work hard, CEO. Shall I serve you another

Nok Hyun straightened his body.

“Then go and see for yourself.”
Jeha greeted with a refreshing expression.

Upon exiting Jeha’s house, Nok Hyun picked up his ringing phone at just the right time.

Sir, it’s Jeong Ikyeong. Can I report now?
“Yes.”
Before reporting, there’s something I’d like to ask, are you the jealous type, sir?
What nonsense was this?

Nok Hyun got onto the elevator and leaned against the wall.

“No. Speak.”

I’m relieved. So, I’ll tell you without any filter. Miss Seo Tae In is currently on the rooftop of Dowon Restaurant, drinking soju with pork belly.
She was already drinking soju? It was not yet even lunchtime.

Unlike the restaurant owner, the eldest son was really handsome.
“……”

His name was Do Youngwon. He looks like a Retriever but pairs really well with Seo Tae In, who’s like a Maltese. Ah, I’m not sure if I should mention this.
“Just say it if you’ve brought it up.”

Miss Seo Tae In was Mr. Do Youngwon’s first love. I think probably Mr. Do Youngwon was Miss Seo Tae In’s first love too.
“……”

You’re not jealous, right? I’ve just attached a photo, please check.
Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Nok Hyun checked the picture sent by Ikyeong after getting into his car.

It appeared to be a photo taken from a building across the street.

Tae In was seated leisurely, eating pork belly and drinking soju.

“……smiling?”
Tae In, who rarely smiled after regaining her memory, was smiling brightly.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, looking as though she was tipsy. Nok Hyun zoomed in on the photo to see Youngwon’s face.

What’s so handsome about him? Well, he does resemble a dog.

Did you check?
“Yes.”
I’ll keep a good watch here, so don’t bother coming.
“Where would I even go.”
He had a mountain of work to handle as soon as he got to work and a series of meetings lined up.

Nok Hyun, who ended the call irritably, started his car.

“Look at this too, isn’t it unbelievable? He’s much more handsome in person.”
Youngwon was heading to the supermarket with Tae In.

Tae In, who got drunk quickly, was swept up by her older brother’s fast drinking and became talkative.

So, it was suggested they go buy some ice cream together to sober up a bit.

“Ah, I wish you’d stop looking at your husband’s photos, your husband is only handsome in your eyes. This guy who never leaves his home.”
A baby or pet’s photos are only cute to their parents or owners. It was torture to keep looking at photos of a husband of the same gender, there couldn’t be a hardship worse than this.

The fact that Seo Tae In, who had no interest in men unlike Heewon who loved male celebrities since young, was now fanboying over her husband was something you could only see if you lived long enough.

“It’s not that, he’s especially pretty in my eyes. It’s not just a face that’s pretty to my eyes.”
Upon reaching the supermarket, Tae In mumbled, hugging a bunch of ice creams.

“But is this what you’re buying?”
“Have a conscience, Seo Tae In. You have a lot of money.”
“I have no money, I’m poor.”
“Why do I trust and help someone like

“Hey, you should have started a startup if you wanted to sow seeds of virtue. Don’t cry and thank me later.”
Tae In was already sober and her repartee was quite fluent.

“……Are you good to me?”
Tae In, seemingly planning to rob Young Won’s wallet by loading up her basket with ice cream, paused.

“Yeah. I buy a lot of delicious things too.”
“Don’t lie. If you buy a lot of delicious things, would you roll your eyes and eat only three pieces of pork belly?”
“……It’s two pieces.”
“And what else do you do well.”
“Why should I tell you about that?”
For some reason, Tae In seemed upset, put down the basket full of ice cream, took one in her hand, and walked out of the store.

“Are you secretly in love with your husband?”
Young Won, who quickly paid for the ice cream, teased her following behind Tae In.

“No! My husband really likes me! And he’s really affectionate!”
“Why are you getting angry? Feeling guilty?”
What’s with her, she’s just like when we were kids.

Young Won chuckled.

Tae In was always alone during events like the talent show, sports day, and graduation.

Often, she would join the lively twins’ family and eat Jjajangmyeon together.

‘Why don’t your parents always come?’
‘They’re busy.’
‘But my dad is also busy?’
‘So what do you want to do about it? My parents love me but they just can’t come.’

After saying this, Tae In broke into tears.

When Tae In cried like that, Young Won didn’t know what to do and got anxious.

“Let’s stop talking. It’s childish, I can’t talk to you.”
As Tae In, who seemed irritated, walked quickly, Young Won had to speed up not to lose her.

“Hey, look at the picture again.”
“I’m good, don’t show it. And the real thing is much better than the picture.”
“Ah, you’re lying.”
“Why are you bothering me today when you’ve been treating me like an invisible person?”
Tae In pushed Young Won with her elbow as if annoyed.

“You cried earlier, like a child.”
“Hey, that was……”
As Tae In tried to respond, she stopped walking.

Wondering what she was looking at, Young Won followed Tae In’s gaze.

The man in the picture that Tae In had shown was standing there as if painted.

“See, I was right?”
“……”
“The real thing is much better, right?”
Tae In mumbled as if she were dreaming.
