Su Ah, having spent a sweet time with Ha Joon, arrived at the office right on time.
As she sat down to start her work, Min Joon who was leaving the pantry approached her.
“Why are you so late when you just came to fetch something you left?”
“Ah. I also went for a coffee on the way up.”
“Did you have the coffee alone? Or did you meet a secret boyfriend?”
“Me? Boy, boyfriend? What are you…”
Could he know something? Why would he suddenly ask such a question?
Feeling inexplicably flustered, Su Ah waved her hand vehemently in the air, saying it was nonsense.
“Huh? A strong denial is a strong affirmation, they say. What is it? Did you really meet him?”
“No. How can I meet a nonexistent boyfriend.”
Sorry, Ha Joon. I’m sorry.
“Do you have a boyfriend, Su Ah?”
“No, I don’t.”
Hmm. She says she doesn’t have a boyfriend. Min Joon’s eyebrows twitched, seemingly surprised.
“Huh? Finally, it seems the TF team is all gathered.”
On his way back to his seat after getting a satisfactory answer, Min Joon looked at the TF team’s office.
“I heard a bit earlier, once the Vice President arrives, we’re going to have a meetandgreet with our team?”
“Since we’re on the same floor, it must mean we should get along well, right?”
“That’s probably what it means.”
At the employees’ conversation, Su Ah’s gaze turned to the TF team’s office.
So it’s finally starting. Ha Joon will be busier now.
I wonder if I’ll even get to see his face properly.
Unable to hide her sad expression, Su Ah pouted her lower lip, just as Ha Joon entered the office.
Due to the layout, he had to pass through the marketing team’s office to get to the TF team’s office.
“Vice President. All the team members are waiting.”
At the sound of Secretary Park’s voice, Su Ah popped her head over the partition.
Oh. When did he start watching? As soon as she poked her head out, her gaze met with Ha Joon’s.
Ha Joon sent a brief smile as if he had been waiting, and then promptly moved towards the TF team’s office.
A moment later.
“We know you’re busy, but we’d like to take a moment to introduce ourselves.”
Secretary Park entered the marketing team’s office.
“This is the TF team for the brand launch starting tomorrow. And this is our Hyun Sung Group’s marketing team. Let’s take a moment to introduce yourselves.”
Like athletes who had just finished a match, members from both teams faced each other one by one, exchanging handshakes.
Is it almost over? As Su Ah sneaked a peek to see how many people were left, her eyes widened in an instant.
…Kim Ji Soo? No way. It can’t be. Why would Kim Ji Soo be here?
She tried to deny it, but the woman who was gradually getting closer was undoubtedly Kim Ji Soo.
The beginning of my trauma that I never wanted to encounter again. Kim Ji Soo.
How could I run into her here? How?
As Ji Soo approached step by step, Su Ah’s heart pounded as if it were about to burst out of her mouth at any moment.
Before she knew it, Ji Soo’s steps stopped in front of Su Ah.
‘Don’t acknowledge me. Please. Please.’
“It’s nice to meet you. My name is Kim Ji Soo. I look forward to working with you.”
Could her desperate wish have come true?
Ji Soo calmly extended her hand with a smile.
“II am Lee Su Ah. I also look forward to working with you.”
The hand she held out was shaking.
“Isn’t that woman the only daughter of the Jin Sung Group?”
“Yes, she is. I’ve seen her calling the Vice President her brother.”
“She is pretty. Money does have its advantages.”
The employees’ conversations about Ji Soo, who was returning to the office, began.
Ah… so that’s how it was. You were the only daughter of the Jin Sung Group.
Kim Ji Soo. The mere name made her breath hitch and she felt dizzy.
From the moment Su Ah faced Ji Soo, the nightmarelike memories she had tried so hard to suppress resurfaced, making it impossible for her to focus on anything else.
The clock hands that seemed to move so slowly suddenly pointed to 6 o’clock.
The employees began to pack up their things one by one.
Normally, Su Ah wouldn’t have been in a hurry, but today, she was eager to get home as quickly as possible.
“I’ll head out first.”
As soon as it turned 6 o’clock, Su Ah hastily left the office.
On the way home, Su Ah called Da Eun and asked her to come over to her place.
To console me. To comfort me who was shaking so much that I could barely walk.
“What? Who did you meet?”
Da Eun, who had rushed over in a single stride, slammed the can of beer she was holding onto the table with a loud thud.
It wasn’t a mistake. The person I saw in front of the company a few days ago was indeed Kim Ji Soo.
Da Eun’s anxiety had become reality, and she couldn’t contain her anger at that reality.
“Why does she keep appearing in your life? There really is no such ill fate.”
“Kim Ji Soo is the only daughter of the Jin Sung Group.”
“If she’s the only daughter of the Jin Sung Group…”
Da Eun’s eyes widened as she recalled the memory.
“The woman who called Ha Joon ‘brother’?”
“……Yes. And she’s working in the same team as Ha Joon.”
“The same team?”
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.”
