At that moment. As Jun Hwi was walking down the hallway, he suddenly stopped and let his head drop.

“Ah……”
After he let out a rare deep sigh, he quickly walked back and stood in front of Yeon Woo’s desk. He leaned in threateningly and reached for the phone.

“Let’s pull ourselves together.”
The newcomer was surprised by the force with which he yanked the phone, as if he was about to pull out a cord. He aggressively dialed after grabbing the receiver handed to him by the newcomer.

“Is this the switchboard? It’s Kwon Jun Hwi. Get me Cha Han Bin.”

With a deeply sunk voice, she mentioned an unexpected name, and Yeon Woo’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Why is she looking for Cha Han Bin?”

I understood that he was somehow angry, but was there any reason for him to confront Attorney Cha publicly?

Yoon Ji Woo was a client. If any friction arose for whatever reason, it would negatively impact the work…

Holding many doubts, Jun Hwi, who had been directly looking into Yeon Woo’s eyes, issued a grim warning to the other party.

“No, don’t change it, just relay it. Come to my room right away and clear your immature lover.”
It was unpleasant. That was his last addendum as he hung up the phone as if to throw it away, tossing the spray can in his hand to the newbie.

“Organize it.”
“Ah, yes, I will organize it.”
“Kim Yeon Woo, deputy.”
Without context, his voice seeking Yeon Woo was emotionless as usual.

“Yes, Attorney.”
As if bewitched, she looked up at him, her lips slowly parting as if to say something.

“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“What part are you talking about?”
“B Construction…..”
Instead of completing his sentence, his gaze, which was suffocatingly pressing Yeon Woo, landed on the newbie behind her.

“No.”
With his short words, Jun Hwi gathered the heavy silence and left straight out the door.

He did not go to the office where Yoon Ji Woo was waiting.

The next morning.

The commute to work, which had been hellish for Yeon Woo since her failed resignation, was even more infernal today.

This was because she had become the one who had to cater to Yoon Ji Woo, the head of B Construction, as a client.

She should have pretended to be crazy from the moment Yoon Ji Woo sent the email and told Kwon Jun Hwi never to take that meeting. A late regret swept over her.

From now on, Yeon Woo had to cater to ‘Head Yoon’ for everything from checking the schedule, various administrative processes, litigation process guidance, signatures, receipts, and answering unnecessary questions.

Eww. The thought of dealing with Yoon Ji Woo’s future temper tantrums and bossy behavior made her dizzy.

“Ah. I really hate this.”
The moment Yeon Woo entered the office, she quickly sat down and turned on her PC. Her mailbox would be exploding with demanding work directives he had left overnight.

…And so, she gawked at an utterly unexpected email subject in the inbox she had clicked on with resignation.

An aboutface situation awaited Yeon Woo.

‘A handover? Give it to someone else?’
Yeon Woo’s face flushed as she read the email carefully.

A secretary from a different floor said that their attorney had taken over B Construction as the main case and asked her to hand over all the related documents.

Hand over the documents. Kwon Jun Hwi isn’t the main attorney!

Wow. Having been at the company for a long time, she found such a lucky day had come.

You don’t need to prostrate before Yoon Ji Woo!

“Wow!”
She couldn’t help but burst with excitement.

Yeon Woo sat in her place and silently but fervently carried out her own ceremony.

Fisting and flapping her arms! Collapsing over the keyboard, tapping her feet and fidgeting!

Having spouted all the nonsense she could while sitting, to the extent of shaking off even the upset and sorrowful feelings from the day before, Yeon Woo had to maintain her mentor’s dignity as soon as Ji Eun came in.

“Assistant, is there something happy going on? You always look beautiful, but you look especially bright, vibrant, and energetic today.”
“Ji Eun. Thanks even if it’s just words.”
“I’m serious.”
Her mood was so good that even Ji Eun’s burdensome compliments sounded ticklish.

The simple business secret leakage brought by Yoon Ji Woo was repackaged into a huge project through the hands of Attorney Kwon Jun Hwi.

In a single day, he expanded the scope to involve more than twenty experts in criminal, civil, labor, patent, etc. laws, started the press response team, and boosted the scale.

Of course, they would reach an agreement with the defendant companies to some extent. They were also potential clients of Ro & Yul.

Calculating up to that, Kwon Jun Hwi changed the proposal to include not only litigation but also consulting.

Thanks to this, the scale of the attorney’s fees increased threefold.

There were rumors that the representative publicly praised his performance among the secretaries.

However, the greedyforwork him decided to stop at overall review for this case, so for secretary Yeon Woo, the Yoon Ji Woo’s B Construction project became an unrelated matter.

‘Well. I’m curious about the reason… But I’m thankful.’
Anyway, Yeon Woo had no chance of brushing even the tip of her hair against Chief Yoon Ji Woo.

As February came, the piercing winter wind lessened, and the days grew warmer with the gentle sun.

Not wanting to waste the longawaited warm weather, Yeon Woo went for a walk around the company after lunch with Ji Eun.

“Assistant, it’s almost Valentine’s Day, should I give out chocolates?”
“Huh? You’re giving them out at the office?”
“Yes. I learned on social media that it’s courteous for new employees to make and give chocolates to team members.”
“Is there such a courtesy? I didn’t know that.”
Indeed. When Yeon Woo was a secretary to other lawyers, she used to give and receive one or two chocolates casually with people on the same floor.

If she offered chocolate to Kwon Jun Hwi… How would he react?

Hmm. He would probably stare hard at her as if he could melt even the chocolate. Indeed, there was no need to create such an embarrassing situation on purpose.

“You don’t need to make them. Just buy a moderate amount and distribute them, that’s enough.”
The conversation topic that started from Ji Eun’s chocolate dilemma jumped all over the place, from summer vacation plans to stock items.

As they enjoyed chattering and photosynthesizing, the precious lunchtime for office workers was coming to an end.

On the way back to the office, the cellphone in Yeon Woo’s hand vibrated briefly.
