The team meeting seemed to be over, as the employees of the Planning 2 team poured out through the open elevator doors.
“Oh my, hello our new recruit? I hope Manager Shin is doing well.”
Kim Jae Hee was not the only one who looked at the new recruit with a bright voice.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Manager.”
The female employees around also greeted Do Jun with a collective burst of laughter.
“Hello, Manager Kim Jae Hee.”
When Do Jun politely greeted, the elevator felt lively once more.
“Oh, you look even more handsome today. Where are you going, Mr. Lee Hyun Woo?”
“Thank you. To the coffee shop on the 1st floor.”
At his confident declaration of going to the coffee shop, Shin Yeon looked up at him with surprised eyes.
Kim Jae Hee also looked back at him with puzzled eyes.
“Are you going to have coffee? Now?”
“No. Manager Shin asked me to.”
Huh?
“Oh my, what a world. Hey, Shin Yeon! You have the nerve to send a new recruit for a coffee errand in this day and age?”
At Kim Jae Hee’s words, the inside of the elevator began to murmur.
Hey. That’s my line.
The world these days is one where new recruits run copy errands for managers.
Guys. No. That’s not it.
I’m not the kind of person who sends a new recruit for a coffee errand during work hours.
Shin Yeon cast a resentful glance at Do Jun.
However, he looked down at her, pretending to be innocent of the world, even giving her a gentle smile.
Who knew that innocent face would be circumstantial evidence…….
“Manager Shin Yeon. No, you should support your team members with love. Isn’t it too much to have them running errands?”
Is this 1988 or what?
Kim Jae Hee was busy putting down Shin Yeon, even gesturing for agreement from the employee next to her.
Oh, there she goes again.
Right. Even if it’s unfair, I can’t die alone like this.
I’m taking you with me.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. I’m buying it, for the team members.”
“Huh?”
“As a manager, everyone must be tired preparing for the competitive PT, so I thought I should encourage them.”
It was a message targeted at Kim Jae Hee.
“Just as Manager Kim said, I’m trying to support the team members with love. By giving each of them a cup of coffee.”
Now it was Kim Jae Hee’s turn to bear the stares of the team members.
You’re also a manager, aren’t you, friend?
“Ah, no. You shouldn’t use the corporate card like that…….”
“Oh, how can you use a corporate card for that. It’s out of pocket.”
They were preparing for the competitive PT together.
Shin Yeon was advertising to the opposing team that our team’s manager was even handing out coffee to encourage the team members.
The expression on Manager Kim was awkward, and the team members began to awkwardly avoid eye contact.
“Oh, you know our new hire is gentle, right? They said they would go themselves since it would be heavy.”
Shin Yeon never forgot to glare at Do Jun while talking.
He seemed to be biting his lower lip, trying to hold back his bursting laughter.
“Uh, shall we also have a cup of coffee?”
Kim Jae Hee’s suggestion was the only way to change the awkward atmosphere among the employees.
At her unexpected offer to buy coffee, the team members started to show reluctant smiles on their faces.
“That’s great!”
“Sounds good!”
Kim Jae Hee was pretending to be cool and laughing, but Shin Yeon knew.
That pretentious expression was not genuine.
Shin Yeon smirked, a victorious smile lifting the corners of her mouth.
Ah, this is so refreshing.
Do Jun was still smirking with a playful smile.
Ding.
As they reached the 3rd floor, the elevator doors opened.
Shin Yeon stepped out of the door, groaning with a pile of documents in her arms.
“Oh, by the way, newbie. I’d like an iced vanilla latte. With extra syrup.”
Seo Do Jun. Don’t you have any money or shares?
I’ll have a cup, please.
Shin Yeon smiled sweetly at him and headed towards the copier.
((()))
Shin Yeon returned to the office after finishing her passionate photocopying work.
She sighed briefly.
“Uh, it’s so hard.”
It was Shin Yeon who hadn’t done bulk copying or document delivery even a few times in the early days of joining the company.
Because the special recruits were treated as experienced employees, basic tasks were mostly left to the interns or new hires.
Shin Yeon, who was tired of the fresh tasks, bit her lower lip tightly and opened the office door.
“Manager! We’ll enjoy the coffee.”
“Hey, Manager Shin. We’ll enjoy this.”
As soon as Shin Yeon opened the door, everyone greeted her with bright smiles.
They each lifted their coffee cups, offering kind greetings.
“Oh, please enjoy. Haha.”
Shin Yeon responded with a awkward smile and headed towards Do Jun’s seat.
What? They really brought it, huh?
It was unexpected.
Well, if they’re in a good mood, they’ll at least buy the latte they ordered.
They actually bought coffee for all the team members.
“I was feeling drowsy, thank you, Manager.”
“Let’s all work harder!”
Shin Yeon, who was embarrassed by the greetings pouring out on her way to Do Jun, said.
“Here. The original copy for the photocopy.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
