There was a faint tension on Chief Choi’s face as he sought out the executive director’s office.
“Come this way.”
Guided by Woojong, when Jaeo entered his office, Chief Choi, who had been sitting on the sofa, nodded towards another sofa.
“Have a seat.”
In response to Jaeo’s gesture, Chief Choi walked over and sat down.
Watching silently, Jaeo handed Chief Choi the dispatch documents for Hyunmin.
“I heard you recommended Mr. Im Hyunmin as a temporary dispatch to the U.S. branch.”
“Oh, yes.”
At Jaeo’s concise answer, Chief Choi’s head tilted slightly.
“Oh, yes. Is that all you have to say?”
“Excuse me?”
Chief Choi’s mouth moved hurriedly, conveying a look that seemed to say, “Do you understand you should explain the reason for the recommendation?”
“Oh, he’s a promising employee for the future, and I thought it would be better for him to go with Team Leader Kang rather than alone,” Chief Choi explained.
Jaeo glanced at Chief Choi, who was answering without meeting his eyes, and sighed.
“You seem to know Mr. Im Hyunmin well.”
The gaze of Chief Choi, who had been looking somewhere on the table in front of him with a tense atmosphere, turned to Jaeo.
Jaeo raised the documents Woojong had printed and spoke in a slow voice.
“There doesn’t seem to be any particular connection on paper…”
Jaeo’s words trailed off, but there was no clear certainty in his eyes as he stared at Chief Choi.
A penetrating gaze, as if seeing through people.
Sensing the chilly atmosphere, Chief Choi, with dry lips, answered with his tongue clicking.
“I don’t personally know him well, but his performance evaluations are good.”
“There are many employees who received better evaluations than Mr. Im Hyunmin.”
As if anticipating Chief Choi’s response, Jaeo intercepted and added while looking directly at him.
“Also, Mr. Im Hyunmin doesn’t seem to be a particularly suitable talent for dispatch, but Chief Choi, you recommended him, promising a promotion.”
The documents in Jaeo’s hand were tossed onto the table.
Chief Choi’s shoulders trembled slightly.
Observing Chief Choi, who reacted sensitively to each of his actions, Jaeo crossed his right leg over his left, looking straight at him.
“I’m quite curious about the reason for that…”
A chilling gaze was fixed on Chief Choi.
“Chief Choi.”
“Yes.”
The response was quick, evidence of tension.
Jaeo’s lips curled slightly.
“Why are you sweating so much?”
In the voice that seemed concerned, there was an indescribable thorn.
“Oh…”
Chief Choi awkwardly chuckled.
Jaeo shifted his gaze away from Chief Choi and spoke in his usual tone, not the icy one from earlier.
Jaeo averted his gaze from Chief Choi and spoke in his usual tone, not the icy one from earlier.
“Do you know what ‘final decision’ means?”
“Yes.”
“Then you must also know how much responsibility comes with it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As Chief Choi responded promptly, an uncomfortable expression appeared on his somewhat chiseled face.
“If this dispatch decision was made due to personal emotions, you must bear the responsibility properly.”
Chief Choi answered after swallowing a dry gulp.
“Yes, of course.”
Jaeo glanced at Chief Choi before speaking.
“Go and check.”
“Yes, then.”
Chief Choi rose from his seat.
Jaeo’s gaze was fixed on his back as he walked towards the door.
The fact that Chief Choi promised a promotion to Hyunmin was something Jaeo had learned from Hyunmin yesterday.
[“I was a bit puzzled too, but since the dispatch period isn’t long and the conditions aren’t bad, I agreed to go.”] [“What will you be doing there?”] [“Nothing special. It feels like there will be less work, so I wonder why they sent me.”] [“I don’t personally know Chief Choi. How about you?”] [“No.”]Recalling the conversation with Hyunmin, Jaeo said to Woojong after Chief Choi left.
“Keep an eye on him for a while.”
“Yes.”
The eyes looking at the document containing Chief Choi’s personal information lowered.
On the other hand, Chief Choi, who returned to his office, heard a long vibrating tone.
Confirming the caller, he wiped away the lingering sweat from yesterday’s meeting with Jaeo and answered the phone.
“Yes, Madam.”
[Dash] What did Jaeo say?Chief Choi relayed the entire conversation he had with Jaeo.
Listening silently, Gyunghee’s brow furrowed.
To have pushed Chief Choi to this extent meant that she had sensed something.
[Did she say she was scared of Chairman Kwon and wanted to connect her niece with his daughter?]
What made her say such a thing, and what did she know to bring Chief Choi into this?
After gauging the situation, Chief Choi spoke.
[Dash] Madam?“I understand the situation well. Don’t worry; I’ll make sure Chief Choi doesn’t suffer any harm.”
[Dash] Yes, I understand.After ending the call, Gyunghee tried contacting Hoyeon.
However, the call didn’t connect.
Thinking that she might be busy, she tried again after a while, but the result was the same.
“What’s going on…”
Feeling something strange, Gyunghee continued to make calls, but she couldn’t hear Hoyeon’s voice at all.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
