The executive director, Seo Jin Woo, had his date set for deployment to the United States. It was because the launch date of a new product being introduced in the U.S. market had been decided.
At the same time, the marketing department, where Ji Na belongs, also got busy. They had to perfectly prepare everything from mass media advertisements to viral marketing to introduce the product to consumers before its release.
“Lately, it’s been constant overtime.”
Ji Hye, taking a brief break and sipping coffee in the pantry, muttered to herself.
“It seems really busy at the executive office too. My friend is the executive’s secretary.”
At that, Ji Na, holding a coffee cup, chuckled.
“Tell me honestly. Are you perhaps the dark power of this company? Now that I see, it seems like you have friends in every department.”
“Ah… I’ve been found out.”
At Ji Na’s words, Ji Hye exaggeratedly furrowed her eyebrows.
“Since you’ve discovered the secret, I have no choice. Delegate Ji Na to a sidelined position.”
“Thank you.”
Ji Na bowed her head in response to Ji Hye’s playful remark, causing Ji Hye to wear a look of incomprehension.
“I’ll go to the sidelined position and take a good rest.”
“Oh no! That can’t happen.”
Ji Hye, finally realizing that being sidelined was not a punishment but a reward, shook her head vigorously. Her shoulder-length hair fluttered, spreading a faint scent.
“Oh, what perfume do you use?”
“This one is said to make every passing man turn around. How is it?”
“So, how many numbers have you given out?”
At Ji Na’s question, Ji Hye momentarily froze, then bit her lip.
“This is marketing.”
“Ha ha ha.”
Marketing should be done like this. The brief chatter was a breath of fresh air.
“Excuse me.”
Standing in front of Ji Na, who had quickly closed her mouth thinking it was too noisy, was Yoon Joo. She was still flashy, but her face was full of worries. Her considerably swollen belly was noticeable in any clothes she wore.
“Ms. Lee, do you have a moment?”
The sharpness in her eyes before marriage had softened. Knowing what the conversation would be about without seeing, Ji Na wore an awkward smile.
“Well…”
“It’ll just be a moment. I won’t take much of your time.”
Yoon Joo’s voice was pleading.
“Yes.”
In front of Ji Hye, Ji Na couldn’t refuse more coldly. She awkwardly smiled. Ji Hye, noticing, gave a nod and left the pantry first.
“Do Jin is strange. He’s changed so much since before the marriage.”
The words that burst out were, as expected, about Kim Do Jin.
“It’s become clear that I liked the chairman without any personal connection, and now he treats me like any other person.”
Ji Na felt awkward.
“Why are you saying this to me?”
He was now a stranger. No, to be precise, worse than a stranger. She even disliked seeing his face in the office for work-related matters.
She couldn’t find a trace of leftover feelings for him, but knowing his vile nature, she felt repulsed by his feigned ignorance.
“Are you and Ms. Lee…”
Yoon Joo was suspecting something between Ji Na and Do Jin. Ji Na’s mouth fell open in shock.
“You know, they say men get confused when they marry and their wives get pregnant, especially since I don’t accompany him at night. Since you meet him every day at work… I thought it might be possible.”
“Yoon Joo.”
Yoon Joo’s stuttering voice stopped. Ji Na placed the paper cup she was holding on the shelf.
“Sort things out with your husband. Don’t drag innocent people into your suspicions.”
“Me? But…”
“Mr. Kim Do Jin and I won’t meet privately again, and we haven’t met. Personally, I don’t ride a ‘junk car’ that’s passed.”
“A junk… car?”
Her deflated expression regained strength. Yoon Joo bit her swollen lips. No matter what, it seemed hard for her to tolerate her husband being referred to as a ‘junk car’.
“Please don’t make such unpleasant assumptions. Getting involved with a married man is really distasteful.”
Ji Na said this, looking straight at Yoon Joo. Yoon Joo couldn’t say anything back. She just clenched her fists, shaking slightly, with a look of injustice on her face.
“Take care of your prenatal care. Goodbye.”
Ji Na crumpled the empty paper cup and threw it in the trash can, then left the pantry first. Yoon Joo looked miserable. Would she have been living that life if she had married Kim Do Jin? The thought sent chills down her spine.
As a woman, she felt pity for Yoon Joo, but she was a shameless woman who had stolen someone else’s man. Ji Na thought it was the price she had to pay.
Meanwhile, Yoon Joo, not having gained anything, stood in the pantry for a long time. Since the honeymoon, Do Jin had turned completely cold.
The honeymoon destination, picked as a top choice, turned into a trip to Jeju Island, using Yoon Joo’s pregnancy as an excuse. To make matters worse, while Yoon Joo, unwell, stayed at her parents’ house, Do Jin didn’t contact her even once.
Eventually, when Yoon Joo felt a bit better, she returned to the house she set up in her in-laws’ place. But all Do Jin said to her was a mere word asking if she had arrived.
