While Chairman Ju Sung Group was talking with his secretary on Yeonwoo’s phone, Yeonwoo approached a cruise staff member.

It’s his grandfather’s brother. She couldn’t just stand there quietly. She started speaking in French, gesturing enthusiastically.

The chairman, who had finished the call, watched Yeonwoo with a sidelong glance.

“······.”

He raised his eyebrows, smiled brightly, and, in the end, managed to obtain the master key in a friendly atmosphere.

“Well. Are you giving it away so easily?”

Watching, a sigh of disappointment escaped involuntarily. While the chairman was amazed, Yeonwoo approached and politely handed over the master key.

“Chairman, the employee is not good at English, so I apologized. Since it’s late at night, please rest for now, and we will formally visit and apologize tomorrow morning.”

“Star, is that an excuse! I can’t just let this pass. Why is the work so inconsistent!”

The chairman didn’t hide his anger. Yeonwoo, in trouble, rolled her eyes.

‘I lent him my phone and even got the master key. I’ve done everything I can. What should I do?’

However, she had experienced this kind of situation quite commonly during her years as a secretary.

It’s a characteristic of fiery senior tigers who easily get angry, but rather than getting angry at the person they are talking to, they are just venting and talking to themselves because they are frustrated. There’s no need to be scared.

‘Think of it as work. He’s not the chairman, and he’s not his grandfather. This is just work!’

Thinking that way internally, she put on a professional smile.

“Inviting someone and treating them like this! If you want to apologize, ask the chief organizer to come with you.”

“Uh, but Chairman. I apologize for the unwarranted words.”

Yeonwoo said politely. The chairman, who had been grumbling, stopped.

“The employee is deeply sorry, and since the matter has been resolved amicably, if you are okay with it, could you generously let it go?.”

“Miss has done a helpful thing. You don’t have to step in afterward.”

“Well, um, if you have nothing else to say, I will inform the customer that the chairman has kindly forgiven them.”

“Hmm, well. Constantly calling them a customer, tsk.”

In the midst of awkwardly coughing, the chairman stopped talking. Instead of the embarrassed chairman, Yeonwoo communicated with the employee. After a brief conversation, the employee bowed respectfully toward the chairman and disappeared.

Yeonwoo also bowed to the chairman, extending both hands.

Oh, the phone. The chairman looked down at Yeonwoo’s phone in his hand.

······It was a Ju Sung Electronics product.

Oh, this side is also a customer. The chairman laughed in chagrin.

In fact, Chairman Han Jung-ho already knew Yeonwoo.
In the information provided by the secretary, he was an ordinary and unremarkable person, and naturally, there was no interest in him.

Still, he was curious about the guy who seemed as uncontrollable as a sore thumb and had fallen deeply. They coincidentally met at the party, and now fate had overlapped once again.

Good. It was a great opportunity to examine him closely.

“By any chance, do you have time? Shall we have a cocktail?”

“Huh?”

“I’ll buy you a drink. It’s a shame to just let it go since you’ve done me a favor.”

I should quickly go to Junhwi. The time I briefly checked with a sidelong glance was already midnight. ······ He would be waiting.

“Don’t worry. I’m not playing any weird tricks. You’ll know who I am.”

Of course. You know very, very well.

It was none other than Junhwi’s uncle. How could she refuse the suggestion of such a person?

Yeonwoo ground her lips and followed the back of Chairman Han who was leading the way.

Inside the cruise ship’s bar.

Even at this late hour, quite a few people were chatting noisily.

Yeonwoo sat next to Chairman Han, graciously receiving the martini handed by the bartender.

Why does something strange always happen at parties? I’m not the protagonist of a detective cartoon.

‘At this point, do I have some kind of magnet that attracts incidents to me?’

Without time to sigh about the new life, a wine glass from Chairman Han collided with Yeonwoo’s glass.

“We met like this; have a drink.”

“Oh, yes, yes.”

Flustered, Yeonwoo politely held the cocktail glass with both hands like a soju glass, bowed slightly, and took a sip after turning to the side. When Yeonwoo turned to the side and took a sip, a laughter came out.

“Earlier, I properly hit on a young lady. Well, it’s not wrong to say that to a customer.”

“Cough, cough! Hm. Yes, no, not at all.”

The martini hit her throat sharply. Yeonwoo suppressed the impending cough with all her might.

“But do you always smile so broadly?”

It wasn’t a request for identification on a first meeting, but she was caught off guard by the sudden question.

“Looking straight at someone and smiling broadly is the first time for a lady. Even my deceased wife couldn’t say that I was scary.”
