“Senior….”
As soon as she arrived at work and heard the news, Da Jung blinked her stunned eyes in succession.
Jun’s wry face, as if it wasn’t surprising, wore a proud smile.
“Yes. We won the bid for MH Department Store.”
“Ah….”
Since she did not expect it, rather, she had hoped that they would fail, Da Jung was unsure how to react.
“Has it been officially announced?”
“Sung Woo tipped us off early. They informed Myeonghan Construction first. We’ll get the notification in a few days.”
“….Did we really win, even though all the competitive companies that were involved were strong?”
“There was someone among the decisionmakers who thought highly of you. It seems they liked the presentation.”
Even though she had a slight idea, Da Jung asked with a feeling of incredulity.
“Whwho…?”
“Who was it?”
Jun, with a furrowed brow, recollected the details of the call with Sung Woo.
“Was it a director? Anyway, that person made the decision alone.”
“Yes….”
“It’s tiring to have such a capable employee.”
“You’re one to talk, senior.”
The shy smile on Da Jung’s face quickly turned into a deep sigh.
She should be happy for the company, but for some reason, Da Jung was not entirely happy.
Even though the proposal was so good, she thought there was no room for reconsideration because of her unpleasant relationship with that man.
She had anticipated such a result and felt sorry for Jun, but she never expected this….
Lowering her head quickly, Da Jung tried to divert her turbulent thoughts.
He wouldn’t have reflected his personal feelings in such a big project. Surely, he must have liked Hanbit’s design.
That man had definitely agreed when she said, “The child has nothing to do with you.”
As she was about to get married, she would naturally want to avoid any obstacles in her life.
It will be fine. Even if they come across each other again, they just need to pass by like strangers.
Cha Jung Hyuk. Just as that man agreed.
The tranquil sounds of nature resonated in the peaceful garden.
Jung Hyuk, who was devotedly offering incense, bowed to his father’s memorial tablet.
Chairman Park, seated on the cushion next to him, quietly watched. Even in front of her son’s memorial tablet, her gaze was fixed only on her dependable grandson.
His tall stature and handsome features were becoming more like his father day by day. As if the memorial tablet was of no importance, Chairman Park merely looked at her grandson’s face, as if looking at her own son.
“If he saw you grow up like this, your father would have been so happy.”
“…..”
Finally, Chairman Park’s eyes moistened.
Although she was the strict CEO who ruled over all, on this day, she shed tears without reservation, showing the sorrowful figure of a mother.
After seeing off Chairman Park, Director Min asked Jung Hyuk, who had climbed into the car.
“Should I take you to the company?”
Jung Hyuk fell silent for a moment, his gaze turned to the scenery outside the car window. The tranquil view of the precinct, spread out like a folding screen, filled his eyes.
Whenever he thought of his father, there was a woman who inevitably came to mind. He impulsively uttered his chosen destination.
“Go to Hongjedong.”
The car, which had been running tirelessly, had to stop at some point, unable to go any further.
The narrow and steep roads made it impossible to drive a large sedan any further.
Vroom, vroom. The car, revving its engine, had no choice but to spit Jung Hyuk out at the beginning of the neighborhood.
The man, dressed in a suit cleaner than usual because of his visit to the precinct, was in stark contrast with the shabby and mundane neighborhood.
Jung Hyuk walked the twisted alleyways as if he were familiar with them. At his destination, a commotion was underway.
“Hey, you! Bring me my money!”
“Wonjo Pancakes.”
Under the crooked, old signboard, ladles and brass pots poured out. Along with them, a man started to make a run for it in a fluster.
Soon after, a middleaged woman kicked the old door frame and came out, swinging a ladle into thin air.
“You rotten bastard! If I ever deal with you again, I swear I’m not my father’s daughter!”
The woman spewed vulgar and bawdy curses at the man running off in the distance.
Even as the spectators began to gather stealthily, the woman who had volunteered to provide a spectacle was shameless.
The woman, who had been panting and screaming, suddenly fell to the ground.
“Oh dear! My life is ruined!”
The woman, holding what appeared to be a purple rubber slipper, began to lament while beating the ground with it.
Jung Hyuk watched her with an indifferent face. It was indeed a sight for sore eyes.
“Did your husband steal the money for side dishes and run away again?”
“The last husband was beaten daily, but this one seems like a gentleman. Tsk tsk.”
The whispers of the townspeople flowed into Jung Hyuk’s ears.
“What gentleman? He always lives off gambling.”
“It’s courageous, very courageous, to see her unable to live without a husband.”
