Jae Hyun couldn’t help but be cautious, knowing why Ji Hoon had quit as the team leader of the marketing team.
“Ji Hoon is unquestionably capable, and since he was the initial planner of this project, I would feel comfortable with him as the team leader.”
“Well. It would be reassuring if it’s Ji Hoon.”
Jae Hyun quickly added.
“Can’t you stay in charge until this product launch is settled, not permanently?”
“So you’re asking for two things: the team leader’s appointment to the U.S. branch and Ji Hoon’s return as the marketing team leader?”
Jae Hyun nodded in response.
“What’s so difficult about that? We can proceed with the appointment right away, and I’ll talk to Ji Hoon. He probably won’t reject if it’s a temporary position.”
“Thank you, Chairman.”
“What’s there to thank me for? It’s for the company. I thought something big had happened and was worried.”
Only then did Hyun Sung show a relieved expression.
After Executive Director Choi Jae Hyun left, Hyun Sung picked up his cell phone and immediately called Ji Hoon.
‘Why does she look so irritable?’
After greeting and returning to her seat, Su Ah’s face was filled with a worrying expression.
She had firmly decided to end it.
Surely, she had until she faced his noticeably wan face overnight.
‘Couldn’t he have slept a wink all night?’
An unsettled emotion poked its head through the gap of the door of her heart, which she believed she had firmly closed.
[Vice Chairman]
It was a title she forcefully called out to steady her heart, which had started to waver the moment she faced Ha Joon.
Yes, Vice Chairman. That’s who you are.
It’s a relationship that can’t continue. Don’t waver, just focus on work.
As if trying to shake off her thoughts, Su Ah sharply shook her head and shifted her gaze to the computer monitor.
How much time had passed?
“Miss Su Ah. Let’s go have lunch together.”
Hee Su, who was sitting next to her, started a conversation.
‘It’s already lunchtime.’
Only then did Su Ah check the clock and hurriedly got up from her seat to head to the company cafeteria with her team members.
While eating lunch, she was paying attention to the workrelated conversations going on between the employees.
“By the way, Miss Su Ah. Winning the competition seems really amazing.”
At the sudden compliment, Su Ah’s face turned red.
“No, it’s not that great.”
“The competition for this contest was said to be intense. If you won through that competition, it is indeed amazing.”
“I still have a lot to learn. I will diligently learn anything. Please teach me a lot.”
“Of course. If you have any questions while working, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Yes, thank you.”
The words passed on by her team members were all kind, and they finished their meal in a friendly atmosphere.
After cleaning up their dishes and following her team members out of the cafeteria.
“You can use the rest of the lunch break freely from now on. You can go out for some fresh air, take a nap, or tour the company that you couldn’t do yesterday.”
Min Joon, who was walking ahead, turned to Su Ah and said.
“Oh, then can I get familiar with the department locations while touring?”
“Of course. See you in the office later after your tour.”
“Yes, I’ll be back.”
Su Ah gave a light nod and turned in the opposite direction to Min Joon.
A short while later.
“This is the PR team’s office.”
Checking the floor numbers and locations of each department in preparation for being sent on errands to other departments,
Rrrrr.
The cell phone in her hand vibrated, indicating an incoming call.
[Branch Manager Ji Hoon]…Ah. The branch manager.
He must have heard about yesterday’s situation from Mr. Ha Joon.
The call had a clear purpose.
Hesitant, she pressed the reject button, but the vibration was felt again.
After confirming the caller, Su Ah pressed the call button without hesitation and moved towards the emergency stairs in front of her.
“How did you know to call when I’m on break?”
[It’s lunchtime for companies. Isn’t it the same everywhere? Would Hyun Sung be any different?]
“Well, that’s true.”
[How’s work? Are you doing well?]
“It’s my first day, where’s the doing well part. It’s all nerves.”
[…Did you meet him?]
There was no way she wouldn’t know what the hesitant question without a subject meant.
“Yes… I met him.”
[Was it okay?]
“….”
She wanted to say it was okay without any issues, but Su Ah’s lips only flinched and couldn’t utter a sound.
[Hey. Are you okay?]
“….No.”
Right. What would I hide from you?
Su Ah continued in a heavy voice.
“I purposely didn’t meet his gaze, and treated him really coldly like a stranger, you know?”
[….]
“But the moment I turned away, I could only think of his grumpy face, and I kept worrying that he might have been hurt because of me.”
[If you were going to regret it like this, why did you do it?]
“…Because then it can end. For both Ha Joon and me.”
A sadness that couldn’t be hidden was fully contained in her voice.
“Yes? This team leader?”
Ji Hoon’s eyes widened as if they were about to burst upon hearing the news that Vice President Choi Jae Hyun had passed on.
“Yes. He said he needs to go as soon as possible, but as you know, how much effort has the marketing team put into this product? It seems the team leader also has to go, but it looks like he’s having a hard time.”
“….”
If he returns as it is, he will have to stop all the work that was in progress to take charge of Hyun Sung Distribution…
A look of difficulty appeared on Ji Hoon’s face.
“He said he just needs help until this product gets settled.”
Hyun Sung emphasized it was a temporary job.
Along with his words that it’s not like he can’t take charge of Hyun Sung Distribution even if it’s delayed a few months from the plan, so don’t worry.
“….I understand. For now, it’s right to put out the urgent fire.”
Just when he was about to accept his proposal with a resigned thought.
Rrrrrr.
A call came to Ji Hoon’s mobile phone.
It was Secretary Park.
Already worried about Ha Joon, he hurriedly answered the phone, hoping for good news.
“Yes, Secretary Park.”
After a moment, Ji Hoon, who had been listening to a few words from Secretary Park, suddenly jumped up from the sofa in surprise.
“What? Ha Joon? Have you contacted Director Han? I’ll leave right now.”
With a stern face, Ji Hoon who had ended the call was about to hurry off when he noticed a worried gaze pointed towards him.
Oops.
Startled by Secretary Park’s words, Ji Hoon had neglected to consider Hyun Sung and Hye Sun.
“Director Han? Did something happen to Ha Joon?”
“Oh, no, it’s nothing.”
“If it’s nothing, why call Director Han? Don’t try to hide it, tell me. Hurry.”
Hyun Sung asked with a furrowed brow as if pressing him.
That’s right. It was an unbelievable excuse even to himself to get so surprised and then say it’s nothing.
“The truth is….”
Ji Hoon began to speak reluctantly.
“While moving to the Hyun Sung Department Store event venue, he seems to have suddenly had a fever and collapsed.”
“Collapsed? Why? Did he have any stressful events?”
Knowing that since childhood, when he gets a big shock or severe stress, he suddenly gets a high fever and sometimes even loses consciousness, he asked the question.
“That is….”
“Let’s go first. Talk on the way.”
