The Vice-Chairman I Accidentally Found - Chapter 84

“These days, if you don’t watch this variety show, there’s nothing to laugh about.”
“Right. It’s totally fun.”
Da Eun, who was leaning on the sofa watching TV, noticed the screen of Su Ah’s phone on the table light up.

“Hey. Isn’t that your phone ringing?”
“Eh? Is it Ha Joon?”
Wondering if Ha Joon had called after dinner, Su Ah quickly picked up her phone to check the caller’s name.

[Team Leader Min Ji Hoon]

Seeing a caller different from what she expected, Su Ah’s eyebrows fell.

“What could the team leader want at this hour? Surely he’s not assigning work?”
“Did Ha Joon by any chance contact you?”
Usually, Ji Hoon would have taken this lightly, but the situation was urgent now.

“Ha Joon? Didn’t he go to his hometown with the team leader today? I haven’t received any contact yet.”
“……Is that so?”
“Why do you ask? Did something happen to Ha Joon?”
An indescribable anxiety welled up at the sound of Ji Hoon’s fading voice.

“To make a long story short, Ha Joon is missing.”
“Missing? What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“He left in a state of poor health, and his phone’s not connecting no matter how many times I call. So I thought maybe he had contacted you.”
“……”
Did I hear that correctly? Su Ah was at a loss for words at Ji Hoon’s sudden revelation.

“The housekeeper said he was heading home, so I’m on my way there now, but the traffic is really bad.”
Ji Hoon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the red lights emitted by the cars filling the road.

“Since you’re closer, could you check Ha Joon’s house if it’s not too much trouble?”
“Ah, okay. I’ll leave right now.”
After ending the call, Su Ah hastily grabbed her coat.

“Why is that? Did something happen to Ha Joon?”
Da Eun, who had been listening to Su Ah’s conversation, asked with a puzzled expression.

“……Ha Joon is missing.”
Anxiety was clearly visible on Su Ah’s face as she spoke.

Su Ah, who had hastily hailed a taxi, relayed Ha Joon’s home address to the taxi driver in a trembling voice.

A little while later. After urging the driver to hurry, thus cutting the arrival time by 20 minutes, Su Ah dashed towards Ha Joon’s house the moment the taxi came to a stop.

Had there ever been a day when she ran this hard in her life?

Only after getting into the elevator could she finally catch her breath that had been caught up to her chin.
