The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 42

The vice president’s office fell into silence.
“Haah……”
Leaning against the sofa, Ha Joon let out a deep sigh repeatedly.
[I need some time to think.]
Su Ah’s final words stuck in his ear and wouldn’t leave.
“…Time to think. Time to think.”
He muttered her incomprehensible words, recalling Su Ah’s expression as she coldly turned away, brushing off his hand.
“Could it be……”
His heart started to beat irregularly due to the surge of anxiety.

Could it be that she needed time to sort things out, not to think?

Could it mean that she wanted to end our relationship as it was?

Could it be that I… would be abandoned?

The moment his thoughts reached there, his heart sank with a thud, and he felt dizzy as if everything was spinning around him.
“I should have told her beforehand……”
He regretted the past days when he couldn’t speak out of fear that his position as vice president might burden her.
“No. She won’t say we should end it. Yes. She wouldn’t.”
Despite the anxiety surging like a tidal wave, Ha Joon struggled not to let go of the thread of hope that it couldn’t be.
“Haah……”
Hope and despair, anxiety and impatience.

His emotions were all jumbled up, leaking out between his lips with a deep sigh.

Then, knock knock.

Secretary Park entered with a knock.
“Vice President. The marketing team leader and the new employee, Lee Su Ah, have arrived.”
‘Lee Su Ah.’
At the sound of the name, his body, which had sunk heavily like a soaked cotton ball a moment ago, sprang up like a spring.
“Let them in.”
“Yes.”
Not long after Secretary Park left, the door opened, and Su Ah revealed herself.
“Vice President. I came to greet you.”
“Yes. Welcome.”

While addressing the team leader, Ha Joon’s gaze was fixed on Su Ah.

Would you look at me…….

Would you just look at me…….

Looking at Su Ah, who still wouldn’t meet his gaze with her head lowered, Ha Joon couldn’t hide his disappointed expression.
“Miss Lee Su Ah. As you saw at the award ceremony yesterday, this is our vice president of Hyun Sung Group.”
At the team leader’s words, Su Ah finally lifted her head.
“Hello. I’m Lee Su Ah, who joined the marketing team by winning the contest. I look forward to working with you.”
“…….”
Seeing Su Ah calmly greeting him as if they had returned to the times when they didn’t know each other, Ha Joon was at a loss for words.

Would it have been easier if there was resentment or hatred in her eyes?

What were you thinking last night?

What kind of…….
“Vice President?”
While he stood there blankly, the team leader’s voice reached him.
“Yes? Ah. Yes. Welcome, congratulations on your admission.”
Although he should have apologized, explained that he didn’t mean to deceive her, the only words Ha Joon managed to say were congratulations.
“Thank you. Vice. President.”
“…….”
Her cold voice didn’t hit his eardrums but flew straight to his heart.
“Vice President, you must be very busy with work, so we’ll take our leave.”
After finishing the greetings, the team leader wrapped up the meeting, and Su Ah, following him, turned around without regret and left the vice president’s office.
