If a person is too surprised, their body stiffens, and it was true.
Yeon-ji hadn’t even thought about wiping her face; her eyes were wide open.
“Pull yourself together.”
Yeong-ran raised her eyebrows sharply.
She thought Yeon-ji would burst into tears, but seemingly unprepared for her attack, Yeon-ji couldn’t even pout her lips.
As if observing that scene, Yeong-ran leaned against the back of the sofa.
“Once the trustworthy corner disappears, it seems like you can’t distinguish between front and back, but you still have to act while observing your opponent.”
Yeon-ji’s face turned pale.
Yeong-ran accurately saw that Yeon-ji had lost her trusted place.
Did Hyuk-joo spill everything?
Yeon-ji rolled her eyes busily.
“O Eun-su doesn’t answer the phone.”
Unable to think of any other way, Yeon-ji immediately blurted out her true purpose for coming here.
“Why do you have something to say to Eun-su?”
“…”
“You’re not exchanging greetings with Eun-su. Aren’t you?”
“I came to ask something.”
“What do you want to know?”
A chilly smile appeared on Yeong-ran’s face, as if something interesting had happened.
Hyuk-joo eventually let go of Seo Yeon-ji’s hand and chose Eun-su. And in that fact, Seo Yeon-ji, worn out, must want to meet Eun-su and say something.
Perhaps asking Eun-su to turn Hyuk-joo’s feelings around.
She could roughly guess how things were going.
“I think I know what Seo Yeon-ji wants to know.”
Yeong-ran lifted her waist, leaning against the back of the sofa. Looking at Seo Yeon-ji, soaked wet, she pulled her tongue and handed her a tissue box.
“Wipe.”
“…”
“We need to manage somehow. Well, it’s okay because there are no employees who will see that state, but still, it’s something you don’t know.”
Yeon-ji took out a tissue and wiped her face.
In addition to the sudden confession, the anxiety of having walked in so confidently without knowing whether this was a tiger’s den made her fingers tremble sweetly.
“If you act like that in the director’s office and then leave, there might be rumors.”
She should have realized when she sent the secretary away and gave instructions near the director’s office so that people couldn’t gossip.
With a feeling of self-destructive regret, Yeon-ji opened her mouth.
“I came to make an excuse that I came to book a location. Yes, it’s an excuse. Hyeok-joo oppa hasn’t answered my calls at all, and Eun-su has changed her number.”
“Oh, oh.”
“Eun-su said that. She doesn’t care about what relationship I have with Hyeok-joo oppa or what I do. So I believed only those words, but whether her thoughts changed midway or Hyeok-joo changed his mind…”
As she spoke, her emotions surged. Tears filled Yeon-ji’s eyes, and she couldn’t finish her words until the end.
Yeong-ran silently stared at Yeon-ji sitting in front of her.
She thought she was a pretty bold kid, but now that she saw her, she was a helpless brat. Until she finished speaking, if she waited, she might burst into tears, saying how love could change.
Foolish.
Among the reasons she came to see me, there’s probably a financial aspect too.
Yeong-ran understood that Seo Yeon-ji’s financial situation wasn’t generous. However, it was a waste to soothe her with a few bills in an envelope.
“Originally, they say that relationships between couples aren’t good at first but get better.”
“Who doesn’t know that?”
Yeon-ji shouted as if resenting Yeong-ran, who only picked noisy arguments.
“But, on the contrary, relationships between couples that were good can also turn bad.”
“…”
“It seems like Hyuk-joo has finished organizing his feelings, so why bother coming here to make a mess?”
“If Chairman Lee hadn’t given me money at that time, I would have been with Hyuk-joo oppa now. Why did you give me such money to cloud my judgment?”
Yeong-ran’s face distorted as she looked at Yeon-ji, blaming herself.
It was clear that intelligence couldn’t be attributed to someone who couldn’t think.
‘If there is no thought, and the child is not very smart, it’s easy to handle.’
Yeong-ran slightly raised the corners of her lips.
She wanted to embarrass Hyuk-joo, who had made decisions against her will after raising her until now, and even the troublemaker Eun-su, who wanted to stick to Hyuk-joo no matter what.
Anyway, what Yeong-ran wished for was Hyuk-joo to return to his original place.
“Why keep digging up the past? If a person dwells on the past, they can’t make progress. Seo Yeon-ji?”
“…Please go on.”
“Back then, I admit that my actions were excessive. But the choice was made by Seo Yeon-ji. Isn’t that right?”
Yeong-ran asked, continuing to smile gently.
“As for the location booking story, did Yeon-ji make it up?”
“No. I thought it would be plausible to bring up that story to meet Chairman Lee.”
“Smart.”
Yeong-ran threw an undeserved compliment and handed over her business card.
“Call the number below tomorrow and schedule a meeting.”
“Can I really do that?”
“It’s a gesture of apology because I feel sorry for the past. I’m letting go of the emotions I had towards you.”
