Yeon Woo remembered Jun Hwi’s annoyed face because of Yoon Ji Woo. She burst into laughter.

‘She still hasn’t come to her senses, talking nonsense.’

Suddenly, Yeon Woo felt like teasing her.

“But Ji Woo, with you and your company… it wouldn’t work.”

Leaning forward as if she had something very important to say, Yeon Woo whispered in a low voice.

“He said he likes me because I’m pretty.”

“Ah. Kim Yeon Woo, you’re so ridiculous. It’s annoying.”

Yoon Ji Woo grimaced as if she had seen something distasteful and waved her hand dismissively.

“It’s true. He said everything about me is pretty and nice without me doing anything.”

“Now that I think about it, his taste is a bit strange. Han Bin oppa is much better.”

Yeon Woo’s shoulders shook. How dare she belittle our Kwon Jun Hwi.

“Ah. How can you compare him to that psycho?”

“Hey. Are you done? That guy is a mad hunting dog!”

……At first, Yeon Woo just wanted to tease Yoon Ji Woo a bit, but now she was seriously getting heated.

“Ha! A hunting dog is better. How wonderful is a grown-up sexy man who growls and bites everything. You wouldn’t understand.”
“It’s funny. A kind and sensitive person like Han Bin oppa treats his girlfriend well too.”

“Kind? What’s so kind about smiling and being nice to everyone? A man should behave modestly. Our modest man, who’s usually reserved and then dotes only on his girlfriend, is the best.”

Irritated Yoon Ji Woo suddenly stretched her mouth corners and began to taunt.

“Ah, so Kim Yeon Woo, you’re so great! After working as a secretary so foolishly, you finally hooked a successful man and now you’re going to make it big in life?”

“What……?”

The childish argument was about to turn into a real fight.

When overwhelmed with anger, Yeon Woo became eerily calm, exactly her state at that moment.

“Honestly, all the secretaries here think that way.”

“Yoon Ji Woo, stop talking nonsense.”

“Whether it’s a client or a lawyer, seduce a man with money and a good family background, give and take a bit, and if you get married, that’s a thank you.”

Yeon Woo was astounded. Yoon Ji Woo’s nonsense made her feel like she’d been drenched in ice water.

“Can you take responsibility for what you’re saying now?”

“Why should I take responsibility? That’s people’s perception! When they hear ‘law firm secretary’, they all think similarly.”

“……”

“Ah, she’s working hard at the company to meet a good man, that kind of thinking.”

Yeon Woo stood up abruptly.

She couldn’t sit comfortably and listen to such insulting words. Her heart felt like it was going to burst with discomfort.

She wanted to swear, but just then, Ji Eun, carrying a glass of water, came in, so Yeon Woo had to stop and suppress her anger.

But then.

“Kyaa! What, what is this?”

Suddenly, Yoon Ji Woo also screamed in a high pitch and stood up.

Her well-dressed gray suit was soaked in water.

“Ah, I’m sorry. It was my mistake.”

Ji Eun, holding the empty glass, offered a soulless apology.

The water from the cup had been poured all over Yoon Ji Woo’s suit.

“Hey! You did that on purpose, right? How is that a mistake!”

“It. Was. An. Accident. I tripped.”

In fact, Yeon Woo had seen it clearly. Ji Eun, who had been seething from the moment she entered, suddenly tilted the cup towards Yoon Ji Woo.

Ah, my pretty mentee! On the last day of the mentoring program, she did something so pleasing to my heart.

I’ll write in her evaluation that she’s an excellent talent that provides perfect vicarious satisfaction.

“Tissue, a towel? Get me something to wipe this!”

While Yeon Woo and Ji Eun were secretly exchanging glances, Yoon Ji Woo, shaking off her dripping wet clothes, was throwing a fit.

“Ji Woo, I have to go seduce a man, so I don’t have time to get a towel. It’s just water, just dry off.”

Leaving the fuming Yoon Ji Woo behind, Yeon Woo took care of Ji Eun.

“Are you hurt anywhere? It’s good you didn’t fall!”

Pretending to fuss over her, the two quickly left the meeting room.

“Ji Eun, you were like the coolest soda, no, ice water.”

In the break room, Yeon Woo showered Ji Eun with enormous praise.
“Phew. I got so angry that I lost my composure. My heart is still pounding from what I did, but I have no regrets!”

“Right, you did well, you did well.”

“Do you think that person will complain to the company?”

“I witnessed it was an accident. Don’t worry.”

However, Yeon Woo needed to confirm something.

She gently patted Ji Eun’s shoulder and cautiously asked.

“By the way, Ji Eun, from where did you overhear…?”

She hoped Ji Eun hadn’t heard the part about her dating Attorney Kwon.

“Ah, I’m really sorry, Assistant Manager. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”

“No, I’m just curious. What exactly did you hear?”

Ji Eun, recalling the scene, seemed to get angry again.

“That, like! How she said that all the secretaries here are just trying to snag a decent man! That really got to me.”

Phew. Luckily, she hadn’t heard the beginning.

Yeon Woo relaxed and praised Ji Eun again.

“I couldn’t tolerate her careless remarks belittling our honorable profession! How dare she disrespect you too, Assistant Manager Kim Yeon Woo!”

“Exactly. What’s wrong with being a secretary! She’s a weird one, right? You did great, Ji Eun.”

As Yeon Woo gave a thumbs-up, Ji Eun shyly continued her story with a hint of pride.

“Um, actually, I wasn’t planning to intervene. But I got encouraged after seeing Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi.”

“What? Why Attorney Kwon?”

Yeon Woo had a bad feeling.

“He was listening at the door! He saw me and told me to go inside, even opening the door wide for me. He even smiled.”
