“Don’t worry. Since the algorithm is the same, I can use the data on my external hard drive, and we can finish it before leaving work.”
“Senior, I’ll help redo it too. And since it didn’t change much from the last task, we can do it quickly.”
“The graphic data disappeared, and it seems intentional…”
Ji-hee, in charge of 3D motion graphic design, said while examining the hard drive. If that’s true, it might be the work of someone within. Bomi remembered how Assistant Manager Kang Sun-young had deliberately delayed her return to the seat.
No way… Bomi looked up, and her eyes met Ga-young’s across the glass partition.
Ga-young’s mouth curled up, and her finger tapped her chin.
Assistant Manager Kang Sun-young was also watching Na-rae Creative from her side, like observing animals at the zoo.
“Still, since the original design didn’t change much, we can do it quickly. Senior, let’s cheer up.”
Seo-jung, who is also a UI and graphic designer, raised her head and struck a fighting pose.
“Thank you.”
After working together for a long time, the members quickly found their tasks.
Since the disappearance of Jung-hoon with the investment funds, the team’s unity had strengthened.
Knowing that Bomi and Suyeong had taken care of everyone voluntarily even in difficult situations without laying off a single person, the employees followed them more closely.
Bomi wanted to believe that the one who deleted the data wasn’t someone from within.
Recovery work was quick, given their previous experience with implementation.
Even though the outlet products were the focus of the catalog, if Ga-young was already so meticulous, how much more demanding would she be when the resort business became the main focus? It was dizzying to think about.
Putting aside unresolved concerns, the immediate priority was to complete the demo version for tomorrow’s presentation.
“Thank you for helping up to this point. I’ll organize the remaining data and complete it for tomorrow’s presentation, so go home first.”
“CEO, are you sure you’re okay?”
“I can organize the presentation material faster on my own.”
Due to Ga-young’s difficult temper, the entire team had been exhausted from frequent overtime. Seeing her colleagues soaked in fatigue, Bomi couldn’t bring herself to ask them to stay.
“Then, since tomorrow is an important day, don’t be late, and I’ll finish up quickly and leave too, so don’t worry.”
“Bomi, I’ll stay and help too.”
Suyeong pulled the chair next to Bomi and sat down, saying, “If you stay, how will other employees leave? Besides, you mentioned today is your mother’s memorial day, didn’t you?”
“Uh… that’s right.”
Suyeong wanted to choose staying with Bomi over her mother’s memorial, but seeing Bomi’s expression, it seemed better to leave. Oh, Mother. A disobedient daughter is leaving.
“I sent you a gift card, so don’t forget to buy a cake and celebrate. Congrats.”
“Uh… Thank you. If anything comes up, be sure to contact me.”
Suyeong’s footsteps leaving Bomi alone were heavy. However, as someone who had watched Bomi for a long time, she knew well what she liked and disliked. She still remembered Bomi’s words from her college days, where she valued family. It was a strategic retreat for advancing in the future.
In the silent office, only the light from the monitor screen flickered.
Bomi didn’t mind this quiet concentration time. She put on her headphones, turned up the music volume, and started typing on the keyboard.
Clickety-clack.
The sound of typing was drowned out by the music.
The hand that put a period on the last page dropped lively.
“Ugh! It’s done.”
Bomi stretched her arms, yawning.
“Saving completed!”
If someone intentionally deleted the data, then reinforcing data management would be enough. There had been instances of stolen plans and embezzlement of company funds, so this was nothing.
Regarding Ga-young, Bomi should have responded more firmly. What’s so scary about childhood memories? Even if it’s a master-servant relationship, she should have treated her as an equal in collaboration. At this rate, Bomi’s precious people would get hurt. She blamed herself for suspecting Na-rae’s employees just today.
As her thoughts organized, she stood in front of the document shredder with documents to shred. Bomi turned on the summer anime music that Summer had requested. When she sang along with Summer, thinking about how much Summer would enjoy it, her body moved involuntarily.
Humming along with the music from the headphones, she started dancing. It might make someone laugh if they saw it, but now it was the time when everyone in the Strategic Planning Office had left. Ji-hee once said that Bomi’s awkward dance was inspired by her.
Can’t I dance like that?
Summer used to cheer for her mother’s dance, raising both thumbs.
“I won’t lose my courage!”
I don’t know! Even though no one is watching.
An hour ago, everyone in the Strategy Planning Headquarters had left work.
“Brave robot…”
Humming while shaking her arms up and down and turning her body, Bomi froze like a statue, her raised arms and legs frozen in place. Unable to breathe properly and with only her eyeballs rolling, she stared at In-young, the man standing at the entrance of the Augmented Reality team’s office.
Ah…
The distinct facial features shrouded in shadow. The smiling face with deep dimples.
“Wonnie.”
…
The movement of the man’s lips could be seen, but it went unheard, drowned out by the music from the headphones. The faint light from the monitor illuminated the two like a spotlight. There was no way to recognize who he was. He was not Wonnie. It was Director Do Jae-kyung… Director Do Jae-kyung. Bomi, with a flushed face, lowered her headphones softly, gazing at Jae-kyung. “Director Do…”
When did he see it? Darn it. Bomi mumbled, avoiding Jae-kyung’s gaze due to embarrassment.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
