As soon as the knocking sound ended, a low voice said, “Come in.” It seemed to be a caregiver.
In the brief moment of turning the doorknob, Juhwan cursed Eun-su inwardly.
“Why does it have to be like this when I only have one daughter? Wouldn’t it be nice if I had someone like you holding an umbrella next to Director Mun at times like this?”
If he had used his experience of taking care of his mother for a long time to genuinely care for the injured Yeongran, he might not have received an attendance request.
Juhwan was about to lose his mind. However, he quickly changed his expression.
The moment he entered the hospital room, he sighed.
“Oh my, what on earth is going on here!”
Yeongran, seeing Juhwan bowing as if her head would touch the ground, burst into a dry laugh.
She thought he couldn’t do anything, as if he couldn’t stand the heat up to his chin. Yeongran gestured to the caregiver who was by her side to leave.
“If you need anything, please call me anytime.”
The caregiver must have found Juhwan strange too, as she said this as if advising, then left the room.
Yeongran took off the glasses hanging on the tip of her nose and held them in her hand.
“I heard you hurt your ankle. Are you okay?”
“Just slightly stretched a ligament.”
“Just a stretched ligament? You even got a cast. What can we do about this, sigh.”
Juhwan exhaled deeply, as if the ground would collapse.
Seeing Yeongran show no particular reaction, he rolled his eyes downward. At that moment, he noticed the fruit basket that he had momentarily forgotten.
In a hurry, he proudly placed the large fruit basket on the table.
“When you’re not feeling well, they say you should only eat fruits.”
Juhwan scratched the back of his head awkwardly and let out a forced laugh. Yeongran glanced briefly at the fruit basket wrapped in fancy packaging.
“You went through a lot bringing something heavy like this.”
“Why would you say something like that? It’s not even worth mentioning between in-laws.”
Juhwan vigorously shook his hands.
Knowing why he came to the hospital room at such a late hour, Yeongran observed Juhwan’s appearance with a leisurely gaze.
The sight of him wiping both hands like a fly in front of the food was unsightly.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“Oh, I came without any hesitation because there’s something important to discuss even though it’s late at night.”
“Something important… Have we ever discussed a task together that could be called a discussion between the chairman and me?”
Yeongran tilted her head casually.
Juhwan, who was wiping his chin with his hand, raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth.
“The truth is, I came because I recently faced a difficult situation.”
“What difficult situation are you talking about?”
“The prosecution sent me something like this.”
Juhwan took out the attendance request that he had folded and put in his jacket pocket. Worried that Yeongran might find it troublesome, he unfolded the paper himself and extended it in front of her.
“Let’s take a look.”
Yeongran put the glasses she held back on her nose.
Eun-su quickly scanned the attendance request that Juhwan held in both hands with a casual glance, then clicked her tongue.
“How on earth did you end up receiving this?”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
Seeing Eun-su’s expression, which seemed to express disapproval, Juhwan happily spoke out, thinking she was on his side.
“Is it reasonable to summon people for such a trivial matter? Director Mun knows this as well. When people hold high positions, they can unintentionally use the corporate card inappropriately or withdraw and deposit funds as they please.”
Hmm, Eun-su murmured as she took off her glasses.
“Although I’m saying this because it’s in front of Director Mun, isn’t there only one person who made such a mistake in MJ Group? Kim Sang-gil, the former vice president under me, Kang Ki-hoon, the president of Engineering, and Lee Sang-young, the executive in construction, all did the same!”
Juhwan folded the attendance request and put it back in his jacket pocket, passionately declaring that he and the executives he knew were all in the same boat, like a ghost that wouldn’t die alone.
When Eun-su remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, he added another excuse.
“Compared to those people, the amount I made a mistake on is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. It’s barely noticeable.”
“Hey, Director Oh.”
Eun-su called out to Juhwan with a voice that had a chilling tone.
Feeling a cold atmosphere, Juhwan shrunk his shoulders.
‘Did I make a mistake by mentioning President Kang Ki-hoon? Was he so upset because I touched his person intentionally, mentioning Vice President Kim Sang-gil?’
Juhwan rolled his eyes, trying to understand Eun-su’s thoughts. However, it was difficult to guess her emotions as Eun-su did not easily reveal her inner feelings.
With his eyes lowered, Juhwan decided to wait quietly until Eun-su spoke again.
“You’re quite a funny person.”
“…….”
“It’s okay to be shameless, but there should be a limit, right? Don’t you think so?”
