“Ugh, what’s this?”
As soon as Ji Na came to work, Ji Hye rolled her eyes and raised the corner of her mouth meaningfully. Startled, Ji Na touched her face and widened her eyes,
“Tell me honestly. Are you dating behind my back?”
At the sound of Ji Hye whispering into her ear, Ji Na nearly jumped.
“No, I’m not.”
“What do you mean you’re not? Your face is completely blooming. Come clean.”
Ji Hye’s face was full of mischief as she interrogated. Her gesture of pointing her ten fingers in the air and curling them as if to tickle someone was ludicrous.
“Ugh, no.”
Ji Na, slightly shifting her side, burst into an irresistible laughter.
Do Jin, who was watching the scene with cool eyes, clicked his tongue uncomfortably.
She started dating right after breaking up with me…? That slowwitted Ji Na?
Did she really have something with intern Seo Jin Woo?
What’s going on…?
Do Jin went to greet his mother with Yoon Ju over the weekend.
Although his mother was unusually fond of Ji Na, he thought there was nothing he could do since they were already broken up.
However, his mother’s reaction was more than he had expected. No, it was beyond his prediction.
The cold mother practically drove Do Jin and Yoon Ju out of the house.
Do Jin, who had never acted against his single mother’s wishes, felt uncomfortable seeing his mother’s disappointment. More than he thought.
He heard the laughter of Ji Na and Ji Hye.
For some reason, his mouth tasted bitter.
Do Jin stood up from his seat in a low mood.
“Let’s have a meeting.”
At his words, the noise in the office stopped. Then, the sounds of chairs moving followed one after another.
Do Jin, suppressing his sardonic smile, was the first to enter the conference room.
Following him, the employees sat down in the conference room. Do Jin, who was casually glancing around, had a sudden glint in his eyes.
“Is intern Seo Jin Woo not here yet?”
At his unexpected mention of the name, Ji Na’s shoulders twitched.
“Sigh… always late, that intern.”
Jin Woo muttered in a disinterested tone. As expected, all those who relied on their good looks did not work hard.
Trusting only their halfbaked faces and not being diligent in their work. He did look at Jin Woo’s academic background out of curiosity, but despite having graduated from a prestigious overseas university, his behavior was not impressive.
Ji Na, I’ll make you regret choosing a guy like that.
A childish voice in his heart made him feel heated. He had noticed something unusual about the two from their earlier conversation about dating.
Ji Na, having learned that Jin Woo had not yet arrived, anxiously glanced out of the window towards the office.
‘Jin Woo is usually the first to arrive, what could have happened?’
She wanted to contact him immediately, but her mobile phone was on the office desk. Do Jin, who noticed Ji Na’s worried appearance, scolded in a bitter tone.
“We’re not here to gossip at the office. Tsk.”
It seemed like Do Jin’s reprimand was aimed at Ji Na and Ji Hye, who had just exchanged a short conversation.
“This kind of office atmosphere is probably why the intern feels comfortable being late.”
As Ji Na, who had been biting her lip, raised her head to retort, Do Jin’s eyes gleamed as if he had been waiting.
“Is Deputy Ji Na in charge of intern Seo Jin Woo? Let’s talk separately later.”
Sigh… Ji Na sighed deeply to herself and bowed her head.
“First, the MZ generation marketing plan.”
It was the plan that Ji Na was in charge of.
“It seems like the one Deputy Ji Na has submitted is a bit lacking…”
Do Jin’s eyes, trying to grasp at straws, seemed to elongate and appeared delighted.
“How about letting Officer Heo have a try?”
Do Jin, who was scanning the seated employees, asked Yoon Joo gently.
“Oh, me?”
Yoon Joo’s response, as if she had been waiting, was as if she already knew.
“Yes. Officer Heo, being younger and having a different sense of fashion than Deputy Ji, seems more likely to understand how to appeal to the MZ generation.”
“I’ll prepare diligently.”
At the conversation, seemingly a backandforth as if watching some drama, Ji Na almost scoffed.
‘Sure, let young and pretty Officer Heo work hard.’
How much better can she do, I wonder? She didn’t particularly have the leisure to worry. Because in Ji Na’s mind, only worries for Jin Woo prevailed.
“…then, let’s end today’s meeting here. Deputy Ji, stay a while.”
The sound of sighs of relief and scraping chairs echoed as the employees left the room.
Shortly after, only Ji Na and Do Jin remained in the conference room.
“I’ll contact intern Seo Jin Woo and give him a warning.”
Ji Na started off tersely.
“Ji Na.”
Do Jin’s voice, which sounded personal, made Ji Na’s expression stiffen slightly.
Leaning on the back of his chair, Do Jin looked at Ji Na with a relaxed expression. Contrarily, that appearance annoyed Ji Na, and she looked back at Do Jin, slightly furrowing her brow.
“Are you dating Seo Jin Woo?”
Kim Do Jin was always like this. Even though they had clearly broken up, he crossed professional and personal boundaries freely.
