The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 56

“Hello……”
As she stepped into the office, Su Ah stopped midway through her sentence, blinking in surprise.
‘Did I arrive too early?’
The office was completely empty, which was very unusual.

8:30 a.m. It wasn’t that early when she checked the time.

Where did everyone go? Su Ah looked around with a puzzled expression as she headed towards her desk.
“Ah? Su Ah, you’re here?”
Min Joon, who just entered the office, feigned surprise as he picked up his tumbler from his desk.
“Everyone’s in the break room having coffee. Would you like to join, Su Ah?”
“Yes. I’ll just put my bag away and join you.”
“Alright. I’ll head over first. You come after tidying up.”
Min Joon left first, and Su Ah followed behind him.

“Su Ah. Here. Here.”
Hee Soo waved her hand at Su Ah as she entered the break room, indicating the chair next to her.

She was signaling for Su Ah to quickly come and take a seat.

Su Ah walked straight over and sat down next to her.

Inside the break room, the marketing team members were gathered in a circle, engrossed in conversation.

So that’s why there was nobody in the office. Everyone was here.

What could they be discussing that they had gathered like this so early in the morning?

Su Ah listened attentively to the employees’ conversation.
“Did you hear that the head of the HR team got properly scolded yesterday?”
“That’s what I heard. They said he was picked on right where it hurts.”
“Ah, I couldn’t be a team leader, even if asked. I don’t have the nerve for it.”
“And it’s not just about being a team leader, remember Eun Mi, who joined the PR team last year?”
“Eun Mi… Ah! I remember. I remember.”
The seated employees clapped and reacted to the conversation.

“The employee who always acted clueless when given work, asking for help with a giggle, and passing tasks to the male employees?”
“Yes. She tried to use the same tactic even with him, oblivious. After being called in a few times, she eventually ran away just a month after joining.”
Who is ‘him’?

Since the conversation had started before Su Ah entered the break room, she was curious about who ‘him’ was in the employees’ story.
“Who are you talking about now?”
Su Ah asked Hee Soo, tilting her head slightly.
“Oh, our vice presi…..”
“Su Ah, you should be careful too.”
Park Min Joo, who was in the midst of the conversation, cut off Hee Soo before she could answer.
“Me? Careful of whom?”
“Whom else? Obviously, the vice president.”
“The vice president?”
Is she talking about Ha Joon?

From the context of the conversation, she had guessed it was someone higher up, but she didn’t expect it to be Ha Joon.

Before her surprised lips could close, Min Joo continued.
“There’s only one thing that our perfect vice president, who has looks, capability, and even a good family background, doesn’t have.”
It’s hard to believe that he could lack anything.
“Only one thing? What is it?”
At Su Ah’s question, Min Joo responded immediately.
“Warmth. His character is so cold that among the employees, it’s said that the vice president’s office is like a freezer.”
Min Joon, who was sitting next to her, chimed in.
“Our vice president’s nickname is ‘Ice Pick’. And from the way he pokes at the sore spots…”
Recalling some scene, Min Joon shivered and added to his words.
“So, try not to get on his bad side if you can. Avoiding eye contact altogether is a good strategy.”

No warmth? An ice pick? That’s impossible.
