“Are you still angry?”
Kyung-hee approached the cafe counter.
Without even raising her head, she glanced at the order list and said as she passed by,
“There’s nothing like that. And, Miss Yeoreum, two Americanos, please.”
“Yes.”
Pretending not to notice the coldness radiating from her, Yeoreum poured coffee.
Kyung-hee spoke, her voice as if she were burning,
“You can’t pretend not to know someone’s face, can you?”
“I suppose so.”
In the chilly atmosphere, Yeoreum handed the freshly brewed coffee to Jina and left alone.
As if waiting, Kyung-hee went into the work area.
Yeoreum, cleaning the outdoor table, glanced at the two.
Jina was only doing delivery packaging and didn’t even glance at Kyung-hee.
“Hey, let go of your anger.”
“I told you, I haven’t been angry. And why would the boss pay attention to me? I’m just a part-timer.”
“Got it. I won’t open the car door for you twice. And I won’t smile either.”
“I think the boss can handle that on his own. Why do you keep telling me?”
“I’ll make it clear: don’t park your car here from now on.”
Kyung-hee raised one hand as if taking an oath.
“Really. Or I’ll get angry.”
Watching them with a smirk, Jina chuckled.
Watching secretly, Yeoreum sighed.
Fortunately, it seemed that Jina’s heart had lightened.
“Why are you looking at them so intently?”
Startled by the suddenly approaching face, Yeoreum was surprised.
“Oh, you scared me.”
She saluted.
“What’s going on?”
“Looks like those two made up.”
In a place that was chilly just a moment ago, spring seemed to have arrived.
The two stood side by side, looking happy.
“Thank goodness.”
“But, Sanha-ssi, why did you come out so early?”
“To go to work.”
“Wow, that’s impressive.”
“What’s impressive?”
“You’re the Director of our Group, right? That’s a high position. Our Sanha-ssi must be capable.”
“It’s not my ability, it’s my father’s influence. And the Director of Business Support has no real power. It’s just a formality.”
He yawned.
“Couldn’t sleep?”
“Yeah.”
“Were you at Haeil’s hospital?”
“That too.”
Looking at his droopy eyes, Yeoreum grinned.
“Why?”
“Even though I’m tired, I came to see my girlfriend before going to work.”
“Girlfriend, not just a friend.”
“Exactly. Here.”
He denied it to the end.
“Grapefruit ade won’t taste good when it’s flat.”
Yeoreum went into the cafe with a sulking expression.
Jina, who had reconciled with Kyung-hee, went upstairs to the comic book cafe with a bright face.
Taking out a bottle of grapefruit ade, Yeoreum asked Jina,
“Do you know how many secretaries Mr. Sanha has?”
“There are three. Why?”
“I’ll order three drinks, grapefruit ade, and two Americanos.”
Jina said,
“Is Miss Yeoreum paying for all this?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll make one warm and two iced. And the Director only drinks warm ones. And since Miss Yeoreum is an employee here, I’ll give you a 50% discount as a special offer.”
“Wow, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
Yeoreum made grapefruit ade and prepared three Americanos, dividing them into two carriers.
“I’ll be back in a moment. I’m just going to deliver it to the landlord. What will the boss say?”
“Thank you!”
Yeoreum, carrying the carriers in both hands, went outside.
Meanwhile, Sanha was walking towards the road.
Yeoreum followed him casually.
“Why so many?”
Sanha, looking at the drinks in Yeoreum’s hands, asked perplexed.
“Give them to the secretaries.”
“Is the magpie taking care of my secretaries now?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Well, naturally, I want my tiger to take good care of them.”
Yeoreum grinned mischievously.
“Bribery. But, Magpie, even though I don’t have real power, as the chairman’s son and also a superior, shouldn’t the secretaries show respect to me?”
“No.”
“What?”
“Being the chairman’s son’s follower must be tough. Especially if he doesn’t have real power. I think that’s really tough.”
Yeoreum handed him the carriers, smiling.
Taking it, Sanha said, “The secretaries will like it. Enjoy your drinks.”
“Yes.”
At the same time, Yeoreum hugged him tightly with both arms.
“Wow, look at you ambushing me with both hands tied.”
Yeoreum sealed his lips with hers, even muffling his protesting lips.
He narrowed his eyes sneakily.
“My tiger, go to work well. Don’t forget what I love.”
After giving him a kiss, Yeoreum ran to his sedan parked on the street and opened the back door.
However, Director Im and Secretary Oh rushed out like a downpour.
Choi Secretary, sitting in the driver’s seat, didn’t even know how much he turned his neck.
“What? Why are you guys here?”
Seeing Sanha with a disgruntled face, the three secretaries hurriedly came out and said,
“Oh, Master Magpie. Nice to see you. But we didn’t see anything.”
Hearing their words, Yeoreum’s face turned even redder.
Busy with greetings, Yeoreum used work as an excuse and rushed into the cafe.
“Sorry. We didn’t intentionally try to see, but…”
“Is this not intentionally gathering here and saying it’s not?”
When Sanha glared at the three secretaries, they bowed their heads even more.
“Let’s go first. We’ll talk on the way.”
“Yes!”
