After taking off his jacket, he sat down and spread out some documents. Jinyook always started working immediately upon arriving, not wanting to waste a second due to the volume of work and his desire for perfection.
While he was deeply focused, a knock on the door signaled the scheduled time for secretarial reporting.
Minhee entered and greeted Jinyook.
“Good morning, Director.”
As she opened the schedule file and reported today’s agenda, Jinyook recalled Yeonju’s words from that morning.
“If you’re really anxious, keep Secretary Ju by my side.”
It was rare for Yeonju to ask him for anything. He felt bad for having rejected her request so firmly.
Moreover, Yeonju had agreed to stay in her place as he wished. There should be give and take, but Jinyook had not fulfilled Yeonju’s request while accepting her compliance.
He worried that Yeonju might change her mind again.
“…Alright.”
Yeonju’s face, filled with disappointment, kept flashing in his mind.
Lost in thought, Jinyook lifted his head to face Minhee. She was diligent and quietly efficient in her tasks.
She didn’t seem like someone who would casually talk about home affairs. Doing so would only be detrimental to herself, which she surely understood.
Jinyook thought about next month’s schedule. There were many business trips planned, including this month, and he was going with another executive secretary, not Minhee.
Realizing that Minhee wouldn’t have much work for a while, Jinyook called her.
“Secretary Ju, I have a request.”
“Yes, Director. Please tell me.”
“First, maintain absolute confidentiality about what I’m going to say now.”
Jinyook asked with a sharp gaze.
“Do you understand?”
That evening.
When Jinyook returned home, it was already dark.
Yeonju, whom he expected to be asleep, was in the kitchen. She was putting tea leaves into a pot.
Hearing Jinyook’s footsteps, Yeonju turned her head.
“Are you back?”
“You’re still awake.”
“I can’t sleep.”
Yeonju’s profile, as she spoke, looked painfully thin. Jinyook wished she would just eat well and sleep well, but why did it seem so difficult?
Jinyook felt frustrated but tried to understand her. It hadn’t been even a fortnight since she lost her mother.
Emotional wounds don’t heal just because one wishes them to. They naturally mend over time and eventually return to their original state. Now that she had agreed to do as Jinyook wished, it would surely be so.
However, until she fully returned to her place, someone had to be constantly by her side.
Jinyook decided to assign the person she had wanted.
“From tomorrow, Secretary Ju will be assisting you.”
Yeonju’s eyes widened slightly at Jinyook’s words.
“She will be by your side from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and after that, the current security guards will take turns and come on duty.”
“Really?”
Jinyook nodded and continued.
“However, I don’t know how long Secretary Ju can assist you. If work gets busy, she may have to return at any time.”
Yeonju nodded in understanding.
“I get what you mean.”
Facing Jinyook, Yeonju gave a faint smile.
“Thank you for listening to my request.”
That smile warmed a part of Jinyook’s heart.
He felt like he finally understood why he was so anxious about her leaving, why he couldn’t concentrate on his work.
Maybe he was afraid of losing that smile.
Afraid of never being able to face her again.
Jinyook looked intently at Yeonju and said,
“If you’re grateful, then start taking care of your meals properly.”
“…….”
“You’ll be left with only bones at this rate.”
With a small smile, Yeonju nodded in agreement.
Jinyook finally believed that everything was moving back to its rightful place.
He had no idea of the hidden intentions behind her smile at that moment.
