It was an incident that had caused a stir in the company, so naturally, everyone’s attention was drawn to it. The glances passing by her, watching her as if she were a spectacle, were different than usual.
Would the situation have been a little better if she were working in a regular office? Now she had to bear the brunt of everyone’s attention. There was no helping it.
Seo Woo steeled herself and left the locker room.
◇ ◆ ◇
At the firstfloor desk was her colleague, Ye Ri. Their shifts overlapped, so they both worked at the desk from lunch until the afternoon.
Ye Ri, who had been eagerly waiting for Seo Woo to return from having lunch with the boss, whispered a question.
“How was lunch? Are you really dating the boss now?”
“No, ……it’s still a little sudden.”
“The messenger is on fire right now. The boss came to work with flowers, it’s unbelievable.”
They didn’t usually chitchat during work, but Ye Ri couldn’t help but whisper.
“Everyone’s making a fuss about you becoming the boss’s wife.”
“Oh, what do you mean, the boss’s wife.”
Just hearing the words made her feel fearful. The boss’s wife.
“I’ve only heard of such a life turnaround. Lucky Eun Seo Woo. Is your hardship over now?”
She had not dreamed of meeting a man and turning her life around.
If her life were to turn upside down like this, she would feel sorry for the life she had lived so hard.
“Besides, he’s the one you liked. It’s not like you’re selling yourself for money, you confessed to the man you had a onesided love for. This is like winning the lottery.”
However, the fact that the other party was Tae Min Hyuk made it a difficult condition to refuse. He was an unreachable man, but he was definitely a man full of charm.
With a perfect appearance that could be considered toptier even among actors, what more to say, and an overpowering presence and atmosphere that seemed to consume the air around him, he was very intense.
“That man is the eldest son of the group’s chairman, a formidable entrepreneur recognized for his capabilities, literally standing at the very top of the pyramid.
A man of such stature began to openly court a female receptionist without any conditions.
Everyone was astonished, and perhaps it was only natural for them to be envious.
But Seo Woo knew how to distinguish whether she was standing on the ground or on a cloud. She didn’t want to experience falling from the sky again.
She had to hold a stranger’s hand and enter a cozy home, only to return to the orphanage a cycle that repeated throughout her childhood.
“From now on, call us Mom and Dad.”
The adults who had promised to become her parents with friendly faces, soon turned cold and sent her back. The reasons varied. In the orphanage where Seo Woo lived, it wasn’t anything special.
Then she learned. Even if you walk in a flower garden, you can fall into a mud pit at any moment such is life.
It might have been better to be in a slum from the start. The sweetness of the candy she tasted once made her emptyhanded state even more miserable.
“Ms. Eun Seo Woo.”
Then, a large shadow loomed over the desk.
Both Ye Ri, who had been whispering, and Seo Woo, who had been lost in her thoughts, jumped up in surprise.
“Hello.”
The person standing tall like a mountain was Han Cha Woong, the head of the secretariat.
As the chief of staff and the closest aide to the chairman, his presence instilled as much tension in all the employees as the chairman did.
The intimidating eyes, the tall stature, the thick build, and the massive fists. Just one hit would knock anyone out, making everyone fear him. He rarely spoke, and his tightly closed lips looked as heavy as stone.
“Ms. Eun Seo Woo, please see me for a moment.”
He called out to Seo Woo separately.
At the sudden request for a meeting, Ye Ri looked worried, but Seo Woo nodded her head to indicate she was okay.
With a firm resolve, Seo Woo followed behind him.
Head Han walked towards the opposite side of the office entrance in the lobby. Past the bank, past several restaurants, past the cafe, and into a fruit shaved ice specialty shop in the farthest corner.
The shop mainly sold shaved ice and ice drinks, so it had fewer people in the winter compared to other shops.
“What would you like, Ms. Eun Seo Woo?”
“Ah, I’ll just have a coffee……”
“The strawberry banana smoothie here is delicious.”
“What?”
“Strawberry Banana.”
Seeing Han Cha Woong, the director, seriously recommend a strawberry banana smoothie, Eun Seo Woo responded once again.
“Then, I will also have a strawberry banana smoothie.”
“I’d like two strawberry banana smoothies, please. Since it’s cold, please put less ice.”
Director Han, who had carefully finished ordering, sat down facing Eun Seo Woo at the end of the window. There were no other customers.
Eun Seo Woo sat up straight and waited for Director Han’s words. She was curious why he chose such a quiet store for conversation.
She could guess. Perhaps because of the incident caused by President Tae Min Hyuk, it was necessary for the company to intervene and it was not unlikely that Director Han personally stepped in.
Her relationship with him would not simply end with a man and a woman meeting.
As long as Tae Min Hyuk exists as a company president, and as the eldest son of a group, a relationship with a lowerlevel female employee can be a rather complex and annoying issue for those around.
Soon, the strawberry banana smoothie was ready and the buzzer rang. Director Han brought the two drinks and placed them on the table. Then the serious conversation began.
“I was actually a bit surprised. I didn’t know that the president would act so publicly.”
It seemed that Director Han was also somewhat troubled by President Tae Min Hyuk’s abrupt action.
“I heard that Miss Eun Seo Woo hasn’t yet responded to our president’s proposal.”
Was he trying to get her to leave before things got complicated? He probably wanted to say that if she quit the company, he would help her find another job.
“Yes, not yet.”
But Eun Seo Woo didn’t want to leave the company.
In the case of desk jobs, other companies usually hired temporary workers, but TH Foods hired them as regular employees. This was a decision made after President Tae Min Hyuk took office.
The salary was lower than other jobs within the company, but it was nice because the work was not too burdensome.
Eun Seo Woo still had a lot of family to take care of, and this main job was just right for her. It was much better to add another parttime job for time management.
For that reason, the current company, where she could work as a regular receptionist, was like a godgiven job for Eun Seo Woo, and she couldn’t easily give it up. It was also difficult to get into.
“Director Han. I want to continue working well at this company.”
Director Han, who had been sipping on a strawberry banana smoothie, suddenly looked at Eun Seo Woo as if asking what she was talking about.
“What do you mean?”
