On Chae-yoon’s phone screen, there was a chat window with an employee who faithfully conveyed the rumors that came from Director Jung’s mouth.
“Because of holding hands in the parking lot back then, people are saying that there’s something going on between Oppa and me.”
Without properly checking the conversation content, Jae-oh raised his eyes and stared at Chae-yoon.
“It seems like this talk is still circulating in the team I used to be in, but in other…”
Even though she was speaking, when Jae-oh blinked his eyes blankly, Chae-yoon lowered the hand that covered Jae-oh’s mouth and asked, “Did you know about the rumor?”
“More or less.”
“Oh, I see. You knew. Well, it’s strange that Oppa doesn’t know when even the secretaries know.”
She felt like she had wasted her time for nothing.
At that moment, Jae-oh’s hand grabbed Chae-yoon’s chin.
Her head, which smoothly turned in response to his strength, faced him head-on.
“Is your expression just because of this?”
Chae-yoon slightly lowered her head and bit her lip.
“It’s not just that… But, isn’t this going to be a problem?”
“A problem?”
Chae-yoon nodded quite vigorously and finally revealed the reason why she was concerned about the rumor.
“After hearing Grandfather say that he considers Oppa as the next chairman over the weekend, I was worried that if such rumors negatively affect Oppa, it could cause a problem.”
Temporarily entrusting the position of chairman to Jae-oh instead of Jung Woong implied that a power struggle for control would soon begin.
If she hadn’t known about the past, it might have been fine, but knowing that an issue could arise where Kyung-hee and Jae-oh would be in conflict made her uneasy.
If Kyung-hee gets what she wants, what will happen to Jae-oh? What harm might come to him in any way? Such anxious thoughts couldn’t be suppressed.
Therefore, even to trivial rumors, she was reacting sensitively. Looking at Jae-oh, who was staring at her with eyes that still showed anxiety from the weekend until now, laughter spread at the corners of his mouth.
“Were you thinking about all that too?”
His large hand stroked Chae-yoon’s head.
“I told you not to worry.”
“How can I not worry?”
Without removing his gaze from Chae-yoon’s anxious pupils, Jae-oh held her head against his chest.
“Your father may not know that we got married, but since I know, don’t worry about these things.”
“I guess you’re right.”
“It’s not ‘I guess.’ There’s definitely no such thing.”
With a firm answer that left no room for further discussion, Chae-yoon, who was leaning on him, lifted her body slightly from his embrace and faced Jae-oh.
“Then, Oppa, you’re still not revealing that we’re married, right?”
As Chae-yoon asked again to confirm her opinion, the report of Kyung-hee and Hoyeon meeting last weekend flashed through her mind.
A cold chill ran through her dark eyes. The sharp end of the long, stretched eye line also momentarily sharpened, but it was only for a very brief moment.
Changing his expression as if to say, “When did that happen?” Jae-oh answered, “Yeah. Not for a while.”
Regardless of Jae-oh’s opinion, Chae-yoon had considered following his opinion and stared at Jae-oh, thinking that she should also choose her words carefully.
“Oppa.”
“Why do you call me so softly again?”
With Jae-oh’s words, Chae-yoon, who had slightly stretched her lips, hardened her voice.
“I have something I want to do.”
“Well, just say it.”
Meeting Jae-oh’s eyes, which seemed to say he would listen to anything she wanted, Chae-yoon swallowed her saliva once and said, “I want to try doing work properly.”
One of her thick eyebrows slanted slightly.
“Not learning, but doing what you want?”
“Yes.”
Until recently, Chae-yoon had been satisfied with learning work from Jae-oh when she visited the office on weekends.
However, when she found out about Kyung-hee’s true intentions and heard that Jae-oh might temporarily take over the chairman position, she suddenly felt awake.
This can’t go on.
She needed to have the strength to protect Jae-oh, not just relying on trust and words, but through tangible assistance.
One way to do that was to solidify her position in business.
Just like Jae-oh, if she achieved results, she could be a support to Jae-oh without becoming a burden. Then Kyung-hee wouldn’t rashly try to cut off Jae-oh’s life.
Therefore, despite knowing it was reckless, Chae-yoon wanted to do something first.
“I know I’m still lacking a lot, but instead of wasting time learning, I want to try something practical…”
However, looking at Jae-oh’s expression as he gazed at her, it seemed like her heart was ahead of her thoughts.
“No. Just…”
Trying to finish the conversation by adding, “Don’t worry about it,” Jae-oh spoke.
“No, it’s okay. It’s a good idea. You might grow much faster by setting goals and approaching things more practically than just blindly learning like now.”
A bright light passed through the eyes that had been gloomy.
“Really?”
“Yeah. Do you have a business you want to try?”
