At that moment, Siyul scolded Sihyun from the side. It seemed like it wasn’t good gossip.
Taekyung finally nodded, understanding what rumor Sihyun was talking about.
He responded nonchalantly, “Ah, it’s about my wife and son.”
“Really? A wife and son? When did you get married?”
Sihyun’s eyes widened, and her body jumped up and down.
“We didn’t have a wedding, so it’s understandable if you didn’t know.”
“Oh my! It was real! Then what about Assemblyman Jin Cheol-wook?”
“That rumor has spread strangely.”
“I see. Anyway, congratulations!”
Sihyun congratulated with a beaming smile. Taekyung made a request with a charming smile.
“Yeah. If someone asks, you explain it well. It’s a hassle for me to catch people one by one and explain.”
“I’m getting married soon too. I’ve set the date for next year.”
“Congratulations! I’ll make sure to attend your wedding.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ve taken up too much of your time. Well, take care. Siyul, I’m leaving.”
“Sure. Don’t go too far.”
Siyul waved his hand while sitting on the bed.
Sihyun, considering it a big event, spread the news of Taekyung’s situation to her friends.
Yuna bit her nails. What I saw and heard this morning was unbelievable.
The air around Yuna had changed compared to before. The gaze of people looking at her had shifted from envy to sympathy, and she could feel it on her skin.
However, the unnecessary and impertinent sympathy made Yuna even more uncomfortable.
Moreover, for days now, she hadn’t slept properly and had come to work with a tired and exhausted appearance. As a working woman, she headed to the restroom to drink coffee like it was her lifeblood.
When she arrived near the restroom, the sound coming from inside made her eyes, which had been half-closed with fatigue, open wide.
“Did you hear what Manager Kim said?”
“What’s the story? What, what?”
“No, Assistant Manager Yoo subtly asked our president recently about the rumors circulating and he didn’t deny having a wife. He didn’t say anything, isn’t that positive?”
The voices inside the restroom clearly belonged to the female employees from the same team.
“Oh my! Does that mean he really set up house with that woman they called a gold digger?”
“The kid is a total replica of President Han Taekyung. Han Taekyung Junior!”
“Wow. What’s going to happen to Director Yuna now? She chased after a chicken and ended up with a dog!”
Yuna felt annoyed about the talk regarding Taekyung, but the talk about herself made her feel even worse.
“Thanks to well-matched parents, she acted all high and mighty, but it’s all talk now.”
“Recently, meeting well-matched parents is the biggest qualification in the world.”
“Honestly, do you wish Jin Yuna was good at her job? Is she sociable? The male employees are all chummy with her, treating her like a princess. Frankly, it’s a lot more regrettable for Han Taekyung, isn’t it? Whether you look at appearance, ability, or family background, President Han Taekyung is better, isn’t he?”
Over time, a lot had piled up against Yuna, and they began endlessly pointing out her faults.
Yuna felt unjust.
What had she done wrong to deserve insults from them?
What exactly was she lacking compared to Han Taekyung?
Wealthy sons who liked Yuna overflowed. However, they were not Han Taekyung.
Although only one man genuinely liked her, why were people throwing stones at her?
“Maybe not, try making Jin Cheolwook the real president.”
“Ugh, if that happens, how much stiffer will that stubborn neck become? Just thinking about it makes me sick, seriously.”
“What did our parents do other than politics?”
“Anyone can do politics, right? These days, no one even looks at the excrement of politicians.”
Yuna ground her teeth as she listened to their incessant chatter.
Making a rhythmic sound with her high heels, she entered the restroom.
“Oh, um, hello? Coffee, have some.”
“Let’s go quickly!”
Two female colleagues who were gossiping inside quickly went out of the restroom when they saw Yuna.
Yuna glared at their retreating figures fiercely.
She felt extremely uncomfortable with the unreasonable gossip they were spreading.
Moreover, it was awkward not to deny the rising rumors about Hyunyoung.
If only Hyunyoung, who was rumored to be involved with Director Han, would say a word in her favor, everything would be resolved.
Yuna found it frustrating that Hyunyoung didn’t react at all.
Could it be that Hyunyoung also knew that the child was Taekyung’s?
Surely, the two of them hadn’t set up a household together.
Yuna became increasingly uneasy at the thought that her marriage to Taekyung might end in failure.
As she bit her lips, Doyeop, a colleague from the same team, entered.
“Oh, Manager Jin! You look really tired. How about a strong coffee? I’ll make it with two shots.”
“Thank you. As expected, there’s only Doyeop.”
When Yuna showed a tired smile, Doyeop laughed heartily.
Yuna didn’t dislike Doyeop’s friendliness.
Honestly, if Taekyung’s cold and mature charm was attractive, Doyeop’s cute and brotherly charm was also appealing. However, that was all; Doyeop couldn’t compare to Taekyung.
“I’ve poured my love into this coffee. Haha!”
Doyeop, who was teasing, seemed more grateful today compared to the female colleagues who insulted her.
“Doyeop, it’s been tough today, but thanks to you, I feel better. I’ll treat you to something delicious later.”
“It would be an honor if Manager Jin treats me!”
Yuna smiled brightly. However, in her mind, dreadful thoughts floated up.
It seemed that she should separate Kim Seoha from Taekyung after all.
If Kim Seoha is separated from Taekyung, Han Taekyung will likely lose affection for the child as well. Since he believes it’s another man’s child, it’s entirely possible.
Taekyung wouldn’t raise another man’s child like his own when Seoha is not even his.
Don’t resent me, Kim Seoha.
You took away my man, so I will also take away the most precious presence from you.
This is all because of your mistakes.
