The next day, Yeo Woon sat facing Manager Choi Hyun with the contract in between them.
“I will sign the contract.”
Upon hearing Yeo Woon’s words, Choi Hyun smiled and spoke.
“Thank you. Are you satisfied with all the terms of the contract? If there’s anything you’d like to change, feel free to tell me anytime.”
“Yes.”
“Then from today, we plan to assign a dedicated manager and stylist to Ms. Yeo Woon, and a company car will also be provided. At present, there are no other schedules besides ‘Office Trap’, right?”
“Yes.”
While checking various things on his smartpad, Choi Hyun asked Yeo Woon.
“I think it would be good to take foreign language lessons before starting the filming of the movie ‘Arrow’. Do you speak English?”
“No……”
“You can learn from now on. Prepare for overseas expansion in advance. You never know when the opportunity will come.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Yeo Woon nodded.
Opportunity. The two letters clearly sank into Yeo Woon’s heart.
Choi Hyun paused to make a call somewhere, telling the other party to come up to the conference room, and then hung up.
“I called your team members. You can meet and greet them. Actually, our CEO wanted to attend this meeting today, but an urgent matter came up and he had to leave. He told me to convey that he’s pleased to be working with you.”
“Yes. Thank you. Please tell him that I look forward to working with him as well.”
Yeo Woon said with a smile. Then, there was a knock on the conference room door. When Choi Hyun opened the door, a sturdylooking man and a pretty woman came in.
“Ms. Yeo Woon. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Kang Geon Woo, your dedicated manager. And this is Ms. Seo Yoon Ji, your stylist.”
“Hello.”
The three exchanged greetings. Yeo Woon had been alone for a while, and the thought of being accompanied by two people now brought a sense of reassurance.
Choi Hyun looked at the three who were still a bit awkward and spoke.
“From the next shoot, Manager Kang will pick up Ms. Yeo Woon from her home. You’ll stop by the salon for makeup and hair before heading to the shooting site, and Ms. Yoon Ji will prepare the outfits. When is your next shoot, Ms. Yeo Woon?”
“It’s on Thursday.”
“Is it? Understood. You can go ahead and leave for today. Manager Kang and Ms. Yoon Ji, stay a bit with me.”
Hearing Choi Hyun’s words that she could leave, Yeo Woon gathered her bag, stood up from her seat, and left. It was her first day after signing the contract, and her mind was in a whirl.
Yeo Woon exited the conference room, feeling slightly dazed.
Now that she had a manager and a stylist, she didn’t have to worry about driving when moving around or choosing clothes. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted just by that.
Yeo Woon suppressed the corners of her mouth that kept rising and stood in front of the elevator. There happened to be a descending elevator, and as soon as she pressed the button, the elevator doors opened shortly after.
“…Huh?”
Inside was a familiar face.
As always, Seol Ji Oh, with his impeccable, sculpted face, was looking at his phone with an indifferent expression.
“Mr. Seol Ji Oh!”
Strangely, she was glad. At the sound of Yeo Woon’s call, Seol Ji Oh looked up and asked with a smile.
“Did you sign the contract?”
“Yes!”
“Then we are truly family now.”
Yeo Woon nodded and stepped into the elevator.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, Mr. Seol Ji Oh, I was able to sign the contract.”
“Are you thanking me?”
“Huh? Yes……”
Yeo Woon looked up at Seol Ji Oh. There was a mischievous glint in Seol Ji Oh’s eyes.
Yeo Woon squinted her eyes and stared at Seol Ji Oh, wondering what kind of joke he was about to play this time.
“Then buy me a meal.”
Surprised by the relatively modest request, Yeo Woon’s eyes widened.
He had even facilitated the contract with the agency, so why not treat him to a meal?
“A meal? Just a meal will do?”
“Why, were you planning to do something more extravagant?”
At the sound of his whispering voice leaning in close to Yeo Woon’s ear, Yeo Woon froze for a moment. Taken aback, she turned her eyes to look at Seol Ji Oh, whose lips curled in a suppressed smile.
Jeez… always joking around.
Just then, the elevator arrived at the basement, and the doors opened.
“Let’s go. Take my car.”
Seol Ji Oh exited the elevator with a light laugh. Yeo Woon shot a glare at his handsome back before following him out.
The car, carrying the two of them, smoothly exited the parking lot. Yeo Woon stole a glance at Seol Ji Oh’s side profile as he drove.
The moments when she felt the strangest after meeting Seol Ji Oh again were just like this moment.
When she discovered an aspect of him that she had never imagined when they were young.
His leisurely onehanded driving was unfamiliar to her. But it was impressive.
How should she put it…
He seemed… like a man.
Yeo Woon shook her head fiercely as strange thoughts began to creep up and turned her gaze out the window.
