The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 36

The day to select the final winner of the competition had arrived.
“I’ve sent you the proposals of the final five candidates in advance, so I believe everyone has reviewed them. Let’s proceed with the meeting,” Secretary Park announced, signaling the start of the session. The executives sitting in the conference room began to scrutinize the proposals once more to make their final decision.

After a few minutes, the ultimate winner was selected through voting.
“Based on the voting results, we’ve decided on this proposal as the winning work. The results will be announced as scheduled tomorrow at 9 a.m. on the company’s website. Thank you for your hard work.” With a closing remark, the executives one by one left the meeting room.

Meanwhile, at Su Ah’s house.

The announcement day of the competition winner, which had suddenly come around to tomorrow, caused Su Ah to be in high spirits since morning. She was pacing around the room, making a fuss with her excited voice.
“Da Eun! It’s tomorrow. Tomorrow. The results are out tomorrow!”
“I know. Stop making such a fuss. You’re driving me crazy.”
“I’m just nervous. Huff! Huff! I hope my heart won’t explode before I even see the results. I could end up being rushed to the hospital.”
“If your heart were going to explode that easily, it would have exploded a few times by now. You’ve waited for interview results countless times already.”
Sigh. Sometimes, it seemed like Da Eun had no ability to empathize with others at all.

Looking askance at Da Eun, who was too calm because it wasn’t about her, Su Ah suddenly seemed to remember something, got up from her seat, and picked up her coat.
“Where are you going?”
“I just thought of something and I’m going to go out for a bit.”
“Where to?”
“If you want to go to a good place, you have to receive good energy, right?”
Leaving behind her cryptic words, Su Ah quickly left the house.

A short while later, the place where the hurrying Su Ah arrived was in front of Hyun Sung Group’s headquarters.
“If I want to join Hyun Sung Group, isn’t it natural for me to receive the energy of Hyun Sung Group?”
Inhale. Hah. Inhale. Hah.

Regardless of whether the surrounding people misunderstood her as a strange person or not, she was taking deep breaths when she heard,
“Could it be… Su Ah?”
Su Ah turned her head towards the source of her name and found a woman looking at her with a welcoming expression.
“Who…?”
“It’s me, Kim Ji Soo. We were in the same department at Myung Shin University, don’t you remember?”
“Ah…”
She remembered.

Myung Shin University’s Kim Ji Soo.

Kim Ji Soo, a name she didn’t want to recall ever again.

Kim Ji Soo, whom she had finally forgotten and was living without.

“Oh, right. Ji Soo. It’s been a long time.”
“Indeed. It’s the first time we’ve met like this since we graduated from university. Isn’t it? I’m so happy to see you.”
‘The attitude of not caring about others’ feelings, still the same.’
Su Ah’s eyes slightly crinkled.
“Sorry. I’m in the middle of going somewhere. I’ll go first.”
“Do you still keep in touch with Min Chul?”
Su Ah, who was about to turn around, stopped at Ji Soo’s question.
“What?”
“I mean, Min Chul.”
“Why would you think I keep in touch with the man you married?”
She asked in a sharp tone, as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have,

But Ji Soo’s mouth corner went up as if she found Su Ah’s words amusing.
“Oh my, I didn’t know we didn’t get married. I thought he went back to you after breaking up with me. Guess that wasn’t the case.”
“I’m a bit busy, so I’ll go first.”
Ignoring the words of the woman who wasn’t worth responding to, Su Ah hastily left the place.

On the bus home.

The memories of the past that had been painstakingly buried in a corner of her heart vividly resurfaced as if they had just happened.

One day during her senior year of university.
