“He’s not the director anymore. He switched jobs last month. Now, he’s the CFO at Y Apparel.”
“I…I hadn’t heard that.”
Yeon Woo raised her eyebrows as if she had anticipated that.
“Mr. Dupré himself sent you an email saying he had changed jobs. I even updated his electronic business card information and sent it again, but you didn’t see it, did you?”
Oops. Did I unnecessarily add that in a spiteful manner? Regret came belatedly. Yeon Woo nibbled her lower lip a little and looked around warily.
It was a moment, but it seemed like Jun Hwi’s stern gaze was loosening.
He seemed to have something to say. But he silently gazed at Yeon Woo for a while, slowly parted his lips to reply “Alright” and then walked towards the clients again.
‘Phew.’
There was a sense of reward in diligently finding out this and that while sipping coffee. It was put to good use.
Feeling a slight sense of accomplishment, Yeon Woo followed him.
Right after the official event began, in the ladies’ restroom.
While washing her hands at the sink, Yeon Woo continuously repeated things she shouldn’t forget.
She was in a hurry. She shook off the remaining water hastily, grabbed her phone, and quickly began to take notes.
‘Who did I record up to earlier?’
She needed to record quickly before the memories left in her head flew away.
Dinner promise. Invitation to a golf gathering. Light legal consultation. Inquiry for references from overseas law firms. Request to introduce a lawyer from a different field.
Yeon Woo earnestly recalled the conversations she had heard next to Jun Hwi. She also separately checked parts she wasn’t certain of.
“Hey. Kim Yeon Woo.”
She was so engrossed in taking notes that she hadn’t noticed Yun Ji Woo standing next to her. Ah. Yeon Woo sighed inwardly.
“What are you really? That man. Are you dating him?”
“Find out yourself.”
“You came together to a partneraccompanied event dressed up like that. Well, that man is a bit too good for you.”
Yun Ji Woo, meeting eyes in the mirror, smirked, pulling one corner of her bright red lips upward.
“I wonder if it’s okay for a lawyer and a secretary to be like that.”
Just like Yun Ji Woo, who overly observes everything about Yeon Woo, it seems like she had carefully observed Jun Hwi this time too. She probably had all of his basic information already.
Whether that’s the case or not, Yeon Woo continued to ignore her appropriately, finished her notes on her phone, and firmly pressed ‘save’.
Having finished an urgent task, she felt a bit of leisure. She suddenly wanted to tease Yun Ji Woo.
“There’s nothing that can’t be done.”
“Oh? Really? Should I officially inquire at Ro and Yul? Whether it’s okay for a lawyer and a secretary to be together so openly.”
“You should be careful, Yun Ji Woo. Cha Han Bin is also a lawyer at our Ro and Yul.”
“What?”
Yeon Woo deliberately narrowed her eyes and laughed mockingly as she replied steadfastly.
“Following your logic, we don’t know what could happen to lawyer Cha Han Bin and his secretary.”
“Hey! What do you think of Han Bin oppa!”
Yun Ji Woo’s face, who was curling her temptingly waved hair ends with her hand, crumpled up entirely. Yeon Woo felt a small thrill of delight.
“That’s why I’m telling you not to make random assumptions. It’s tiresome.”
Well, it’s not a completely farfetched idea. Occasionally, very occasionally, secretaries and lawyers marry or break up just like any common couple.
Not that it had anything to do with Yeon Woo.
“Anyway, arrange a meeting with Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi soon.”
“What? Why?”
But Yoon Ji Woo was not an easy opponent. She counterattacked with unexpected contents. This time, it was Yeon Woo’s turn to be surprised.
“Isn’t Attorney Kwon the top in corporate criminal litigation? Lately, some of our employees who have retired keep leaking technology. I want to consult him.”
“Get advice from your brother. Why look for someone else while spending money? Attorney Kwon is very expensive.”
“Han Bin’s main field is a bit different, isn’t it? And he’s gentle because he’s a kind person, right? I heard Attorney Kwon, a former prosecutor, bites like a hunting dog.”
When did she investigate all that in such a short time? In some ways, she was truly amazing.
“Okay. Send me an official email. I’ll schedule it.”
“You’re the one who’s serving, right? That should be fun.”
“What?”
“You’re a secretary, aren’t you? Don’t you have to bring me a drink? And a parking ticket after the meeting.”
Here it goes again. Yoon Ji Woo, a silver spoon who only received orders from secretaries at his father’s company, always tried to belittle Yeon Woo’s profession.
Not knowing that Roan Yule runs properly thanks to professional secretaries like Yeon Woo.
“Well, let’s see. If I’m not busy, I’ll do it myself.”
She didn’t want to continue the conversation anymore. Listening any further would only make Yeon Woo feel worse.
If it were in the past, she would have been dragged around by Yoon Ji Woo, getting hurt, but now, Yeon Woo has become quite calm, having experienced everything an adult should.
Moreover, the reason for suddenly taking interest in Kwon Jun Hwi, despite having a lover, was so transparent that she was laughing at the ridiculous act that was not sane.
Because he saw something appealing to his own eyes.
That’s the whole reason. That kid.
“Well, I’m leaving.”
She was about to leave Yoon Ji Woo and return to the event before she got more mentally exhausted.
Someone ran into the bathroom, intruding roughly between the two standing in front of the mirror.
“Ah, what the hell!”
Yoon Ji Woo, who was bumped hard, threw a fit, but the middleaged woman who suddenly appeared clung to the sink and shook. She was about to collapse any moment and tightly closed her mouth.
She looked very uncomfortable. Yeon Woo approached her cautiously and asked in French.
“Excuse me, are you okay?”
The woman nodded her head and suddenly started to vomit.
“Yikes!”
At the sound of retching filling the bathroom, Yoon Ji Woo cursed and screamed.
“Where, where do you feel uncomfortable?”
What should I do! Yeon Woo, who was anxiously pacing around, slapped the woman’s back, who was trying to vomit, and shouted.
“Ji Woo, 119! Call 119.”
“Are you crazy? Ah, I’m annoyed!”
“Yoon Ji Woo! Enough, call an employee or something!”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
