“So my wife suggested that Ms. Seolwon officially try working. Embarrassingly, at that time, there were many talented overseas students, so I was a bit hesitant. However, in the end, my wife’s judgment was right. Ms. Seolwon is truly like a flower.”
Like a flower person…
Chae-ha couldn’t help but nod his head at that expression.
He, too, from the first time he met Seolwon until now, always felt that way.
“Listen, Mr. Kwon. Another thing about our Seolwon…”
Besides that, James shared many stories about Seolwon that Chae-ha didn’t know.
Each one was adorable and brought a smile to his lips.
“I feel like I’m lucky again when I hear James’s stories.”
“Although it’s a bit strange to say this about Mr. Chae-ha, Ms. Seolwon is truly a special person. Haha.”
Watching James, who was like a father sending off his daughter, Chae-ha also raised the corners of his mouth.
James, pouring more flower tea into the cup, glanced around and then opened his mouth again.
“In fact, I’m saying this now, but I recognized the connection between the two of them at a glance when Mr. Kwon came here a long time ago.”
“Yes?”
When Chaeha stared at him, James scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
“My principle is to avoid talking about our employees as much as possible, but strangely, I ended up talking about Ms. Seolwon to Mr. Kwon back then. Somehow, I had a feeling that Mr. Kwon and Ms. Seolwon would have a connection.”
“Ah… My mother-in-law also mentioned something similar.”
“If it’s your mother-in-law, is she talking about Ms. Seolwon’s mother?”
Smiling lightly, Chaeha nodded.
There might not have been much to tell James, but he had indeed heard similar words from Seolwon’s mother.
Why were the things that were so clear to others not visible to him?
His own feelings seemed to be something only he didn’t know. Foolishly.
“Anyway, thank you for cherishing my wife.”
“Oh, you’re saying too much.”
Embarrassed, James clapped his hands.
Looking at the indoor flower garden connected to the back of where he was sitting, Chaeha pulled out a piece of an old memory.
It was a memory that became as distant as the ages.
“…Even after marriage, my wife used to frequently take care of the garden at home. Maybe it was nostalgic. I told her not to work, though.”
“Oh, really.”
“Even so, my wife seemed to cherish that small garden even more. And that woman… I used to secretly watch her through the window. I probably didn’t know what it meant to have your gaze unconsciously go somewhere. My heart, at that time.”
“It’s love. Well, yes. Mr. Kwon loved our Ms. Seolwon.”
James’s golden beard made a round shape following his smile.
It was an indisputable answer.
“Yes, it is. Now, I can’t imagine a world without her.”
That’s right.
During the five years when Seolwon was missing from his world, his world was practically nonexistent.
He had been waiting, staring at the empty garden, for the person who never returned.
Every time the flowers she had touched withered, he felt his breath fading away.
Min Seolwon was everything in Kwon Chaeha’s world.
As much as that, there was only one important thing to him now.
Staring down at the delicate flower petals floating in the cup, Chaeha whispered quietly.
“…So, I will protect her so as not to lose her again.”
The fragrant scent of the flower tea spread at the tip of his nose.
More deeply engraved in him than that was the scent of Min Seolwon, which he would no longer let go.
Now, he would never let it wither again.
“Vice President. I didn’t expect you to come back to the company.”
“News arrived that I’ve been waiting for, so I have to hear the report in person.”
“Indeed. It’s an important matter.”
With a stern expression, Director Jung pulled out a document.
He carefully placed it on Chaeha’s marble desk and began the report in earnest.
“As I mentioned before, one of the guys around Baek Jaeyoung concealed his whereabouts at the time of the incident. Upon discreet investigation, he was found to be extremely vicious. Publicly, it’s recorded that Baek Jaeyoung caused the accident.”
“In reality, it was a deal.”
With narrowed eyes, Chaeha fixed his gaze on the documents.
The deeds of the man written inside were all undeniably despicable.
“Yes. I confirmed his movements shortly after concealing his whereabouts.”
“Alright, how was it?”
“There were multiple reports claiming that he was seen at a casino in Gangwon Province. He appeared with a large sum of money at the time but went bankrupt in just a few days.”
“A large sum…”
“Perhaps it was what Baek Jaeyoung handed over. There’s no record of the transaction, whether it was paid in cash or not. The problem is that the guy’s whereabouts are elusive. It ended with him being seen at the casino. We need to catch him to secure solid evidence.”
Director Jung clenched his fist as if he had a headache.
Because people in the underworld could disappear and live hidden lives as long as they had the will, finding a man whose whereabouts had become mysterious several years ago was not an easy task.
Instead of answering, Chaeha leaned his chin and fell into deep thought.
Knowing that it was better to leave him alone when he deeply contemplated something, as he had heard from his father, Director Jung just waited.
Soon, Chaeha opened his mouth again.
“Let’s investigate around the casino.”
“The casino?”
To the puzzled Director Jung, Chaeha gave a calm response.
“Do you know what the biggest characteristic of gamblers is? They never leave the vicinity of the gambling den. The more someone loses, the more they stay.”
“Ah…!”
Director Jung, whose mouth was wide open as if he had gained a great realization, clapped his hands.
Due to the wind, something fell to the floor from his outer garment pocket.
“Oh, what’s this?”
Casually, Director Jung picked up the paper that had just fallen.
Soon, his eyes widened.
“Why are you like this, Director Jung?”
“Vice, Vice President. This…!”
Trembling even in his hands, Director Jung handed the paper to Chaeha.
Even in Chaeha’s eyes, who confirmed it, surprise flashed instantly.
Unexpectedly, it was a photograph.
In the photo with a clear date, Baek Jaeyoung’s former subordinate, who had become half paralyzed recently, was wearing an impressive expression.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
