Her confident and bold demeanor was nowhere to be found, and her trembling hand, due to anxiety, even made the mistake of dropping the laser pointer.
Flustered, she followed the rolling laser pointer into the distance, picked it up, and straightened her posture again.
It was fortunate that there was no burst of laughter.
Questions should have come up at this point, but for some reason, only a heavy silence prevailed. The officials maintained their silence, as if waiting for someone’s assessment to precede.
Then a man raised his hand lightly. It was a gesture indicating he had a question.
When Da Jung barely looked at him, the man with a weary expression straightened his drooping head.
“What was the name again?”
“Hanbit Architecture Office….”
“Not that. Your name.”
His sharp voice, shrouded in lethargy, echoed as if resounding in a cave and penetrated Da Jung’s ears. Da Jung slightly bit her tense lips and responded.
“Yoo… Da Jung, team leader.”
“Ms. Yoo Da Jung.”
As he called her name and said nothing more, the eyes of the people holding their breath hurriedly darted around.
The heavy tension and silence flowed through the space. After what seemed like forever, the man’s lips slowly moved.
“How old are you?”
He asked an unexpected question and casually rested his chin on the back of his hand, his eyes shining as if amused.
While staring at the clear outline of his opaque pupils, Da Jung dryly swallowed.
Her legs, stepping aimlessly down the long corridor, staggered as if about to collapse any second.
Da Jung, who was as pale as a blank sheet, barely leaned against the wall only when she reached the elevator.
Something uncomfortably poking at her like a thorn stuck in her throat kept troubling her.
She had known. She had recognized him since the day they encountered each other at the kindergarten.
It was strange. Why did she want to run away? Was it because of the inseparable link between her and that man? Even though he didn’t even know about the existence of that link, why?
Catching her breath, Da Jung hurriedly pressed the elevator call button. She had to get away from here as soon as possible.
It was when she had returned to the lobby to return her access card in an almost fleeing manner.
“Ms. Yoo Da Jung!”
Suddenly, a man’s voice rang out. At the sound echoing through the lobby, Da Jung’s shoulders jerked.
She turned around in surprise, and a man she had never seen before was running towards her, gesturing as if calling her.
“Ms. Yoo Da Jung! From Hanbit Architecture Office… are you Ms. Yoo Da Jung?”
“Yes… but what is it?”
Da Jung’s voice trembled with unease.
The man, panting as if he had run fast, knelt for a while to catch his breath. Just for a moment, he stretched out his hand and blocked between the access card and the ID card that she was about to exchange.
“Ms. Yoo Da Jung. Please go up again. Executive Director Cha Jung Hyuk would like to see you.”
Cha Jung Hyuk…..
It was a name she was hearing for the first time. She didn’t know who Cha Jung Hyuk was, nor the Executive Director of Myung Han Distribution, but one thing was clear. She knew who those names referred to.
Cha Jung Hyuk. It was Cha Jung Hyuk.
It was the name of the father of her child that she had just learned.
