Gwanghwamun’s hottest restaurants gather at T Tower.

Among them, this place is a glamorous Italian fine dining known for its splendid interior and beautiful plating.

“Attorney Im, I’ll enjoy this!”

“Wow, it’s so pretty. How can I eat this? It’s a shame to mess it up.”

A few employees who follow Im Nayoon gathered for a casual drink.

In the lively atmosphere, people expressed admiration, each uttering words of awe while busily taking pictures of the food.

“Enjoy your meal.”

The selectively chosen members, whom Im Nayoon carefully invited, were talented individuals who, once caught up in office gossip at Roan Yul, became valuable assets.

Indeed, for them, food was just an excuse. Beyond a few bites, the conversation shifted to the recent major issue of office romance.

“The two of them are blatantly dating now! I don’t know what they’re doing at the company.”

“Foxy, very foxy.”

Former Manager Gu and Manager Shin raised their glasses of pizza, signaling the beginning of the conversation.

Im Nayoon, playing the role of both host and victim, sat quietly, sipping wine, with a composed smile despite her red-stained lips.

“When Attorney Kwon was on a business trip, you were sticking so close to Attorney Kim, laughing and joking? I saw it.”

Manager Kang, with excitement, twirled pasta around his fork. Im Nayoon simply smiled demurely, sipping wine.

“But I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to talk about this while Attorney Im is present.”

“I’m okay with it. We need to air it out.”

“With such a good mood, what can we do?”

And for a while, there were various criticisms about Kim Yeonwoo.

Always cheerful, as if living alone in a flower garden. Laughing hehe, it’s all a pretense of being kind. Works hard unnecessarily just to stand out. Why she puts her life on the line for everything is incomprehensible.

“So, what’s going to happen between Attorney Im and Attorney Kwon now?”

As the conversation was getting heated, Manager Shin cautiously asked.

“Well… I don’t know.”

What can be done? Let the rumors fly.

The ways of the world are simple. If I can’t have it, no one else can. That was Im Nayoon’s approach.

A man with a high nose who, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t overcome. That man, who made me frustrated, just easily fell for the secretary, laughing, acting cool, and even going to her house.

Im Nayoon didn’t like the bitterness of it. It was a taste of defeat that she had never felt or would feel in her life.

Well, Kwon Junhwi was a decent man, but there was no lingering attachment.

As a woman who always met various men here and there, trying to get over each time, unwavering emotions directed at only one person did not suit her.

However, hiding in Hong Kong for several years due to the affair, by now, everything I did would have been forgotten. To take over the LK Group management rights that other cousins had slyly taken, I had to return to Korea.

In this way, in Korea, everything unraveled as if by chance but inevitably. Just as an offer came from Roan Yul, and at the cruise party, I happened to encounter Kwon Junhwi.
Seeing him again, he was as sexy as he used to be to the extent that it revived his appetite. To the point of developing an inexplicable lingering feeling.

However, the awkwardness when he faced the woman beside him.

No matter how you look at it, Kim Yeonwoo seemed far inferior to herself. Always bright and smiling, with a pure and clear style that she despised.

What’s inferior about me compared to that woman?

Looks. Education. Family background. Abilities. In an instant, the efforts and pride that walked only the best paths in each aspect vanished.

So, it became even more unbearable to watch. Anyway, I can’t have it, and you guys can’t be happy forever.

As Im Nayoon reflected on Kwon Junhwi and Kim Yeonwoo, a subtle sense of unease crept in again. Im Nayoon hid her rising annoyance behind the wine glass.

“Hey! Attorney Im!”

That was the moment. Recognizing a familiar face from afar, Kim Seungho, the lawyer, approached with his characteristic bright smile.

“Managers, too?”

And behind him was the expressionless Kwon Junhwi.

“Aren’t you Attorney Kim Seungho?”

“Why did you come here?”

Did those two come to eat pasta? Moreover, the protagonists of the rumored affair, with Kim Yeonwoo in the middle?

No one said anything, but there was an uncomfortable feeling somewhere in their thoughts.

“Are you having a company dinner? Can I join?”

“We were just about to leave. Too bad.”

Im Nayoon quickly replied.

Why leave when there’s still food left? A wry smile flickered across Junhwi’s lips as he looked at the table. Im Nayoon’s determination not to deal with the two was evident.

“Oh, I see. Attorney Im and I were also thinking of leaving. How about going for a second round with us?”

“I have to go put my child to sleep.”

“Oh, me too. My dog barks a lot if left alone for a long time.”

People who desperately avoided Kim Seungho’s cheerful proposal gradually picked up their belongings.
