Despite everything, after a few days, Bora returned to the office. They say you meet your enemies on a narrow bridge, and as soon as she arrived at work, she ran into Miju in the corridor.

Looking at Bora, who was limping with the aid of a crutch, Miju chuckled in what seemed to be a display of mockery.

Bora clenched her teeth and grabbed Miju by the arm, dragging her along. Miju allowed herself to be pulled along, an expression of “look at this” on her face.

Bora pushed Miju into an empty conference room and confronted her straight away.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Aren’t you the one who knows best?”
Miju retorted with a derisive smile.
“Did I steal your man?”
“You’ve been short with the senior since a while ago.”
“I’m not in the mood for a long conversation.”
Bora firmly believed that Kang Si Hyun must have tattled everything to Lee Miju, who was close to her.
“The one who was stolen from is the fool. Who told her she can’t even keep her man properly?”
She did not even think to hide her feelings.
“How charmless a woman must be for her man to bring another woman into their marital home? You should be embarrassed for spreading this around.”
Miju stared at Bora with her mouth halfopen, as if she could not believe what she had just heard.
“What did you do?”
Bora flinched. What? She thought Kang Si Hyun had already told her everything?
“You got more than just the necklace? You went to Mr. Si Hyun’s marital home? Is it true?”
Faced with Miju’s accusations, Bora defended herself.
“Why are you playing dumb? Didn’t Kang Si Hyun tell you and cause this injury to my foot? Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
“Mr. Si Hyun isn’t like you.”
“Oh dear, poor Mr. Si Hyun. What should I do?” Miju glared at Bora, beating her chest in frustration.
“Get your act together. What goes around comes around. What kind of divine punishment are you looking for, doing such a thing…!”
“You sound like an old man. That’s why you’re still single at your age.”
“What?”
As Miju was left speechless, someone entered the conference room at that moment.

It was Manager Sung from Bora’s development team. Until Miju moved to the One App team, he had been her superior in the same team as well.

Seeing the unusual atmosphere, Manager Sung looked surprised and alternated his gaze between the two women.
“What’s going on? What happened? Huh?”

Last time, that foxy Mi Ju had started crying first, stealing the initiative. Bo Ra, who couldn’t lose this time, immediately showed tears.
“It’s nothing, sob.”
Manager Sung immediately glared at Mi Ju.
“Deputy Lee, did you scold Bo Ra?”
Mi Ju jumped.
“Oh, no! What would I have to scold her for?”
“Then why is Bo Ra suddenly crying?”
“Well, how would I know that? Ask her.”
After looking Bo Ra up and down as if she had seen all sorts of disgusting things, Mi Ju left the meeting room first.

Manager Sung was busy consoling the sobbing Bo Ra.
“Don’t cry, Bo Ra. Why are you doing this?”
“Deputy Lee Mi Ju must hate me. Last time she stepped on my foot on purpose, causing me to get hurt.”
Bo Ra sniveled subtly, sugarcoating her words.
“Oh, would she have done that on purpose? Even though that’s the case, Deputy Lee Mi Ju isn’t that type of person.”
“It’s true!”
Bo Ra looked at Manager Sung with pleading, tearfilled eyes.
“Deputy Lee has a wide reach. I don’t know how to work at the company from now on.”
Seeing her puppydog eyes, Manager Sung’s heart was hit directly by an arrow. A sense of justice flared up, wanting to protect this fragile and pitiful beauty who was crying and relying on him.
“Why is she doing this to me?”
“It’s all because Bo Ra is pretty. You know, right? It’s spinster hysteria. She can’t stand seeing women who are prettier and younger than herself.”
After comforting Bo Ra, Manager Sung spoke loudly.
“Don’t cry, Bo Ra. What is there to worry about when I’m here? From now on, I’ll make sure no one can touch Bo Ra, I’ll sternly scold her, so don’t worry.”
“Sob, Manager…”
Pretending to burst into even louder sobs, Bo Ra buried her face in Manager Sung’s chest. Manager Sung’s face turned red, not knowing what to do.
“Don’t cry, stop. Ah, our Bo Ra is good.”
By the way, Manager Sung was a perfectly healthy married man with children.

((()))

Mi Ju didn’t know what to do, feeling newly sorry for Si Hyun.

Si Hyun had never mentioned that his fiancee had cheated on him, and of course, he had never said that the other party was Bo Ra. Seeing Bo Ra’s face every day at work, how blackened his heart must be at this point!

Upon hearing that he had cheated in their newlywed home, her insides flipped. She wanted to spread it throughout the whole company and shame him.

However, Si Hyun, the actual person involved, was keeping her mouth shut, so there was nothing she could do.

The bolt from the blue fell on Mi Ju, who was struggling to suppress her anger and work, that afternoon. Manager Sung suddenly called Mi Ju and started to make a fuss.
“No matter how much of a designer you are, if there’s a typo or error in the storyboard, you should have corrected it yourself. Have you only been in business for a day or two? The date of the event popup, it’s exposed exactly as it was last year!”
As soon as she heard this, Mi Ju realized. Ah, it’s Bo Ra’s doing!

Of course, since the formal reason was that she had done her job incorrectly, she couldn’t argue, so Mi Ju bowed her head for the moment.
“I’m sorry, Manager.”
Since being seconded to the One App Team, the development team’s work has been done by the UI designer there, but this was something Mi Ju had done directly last year, so they asked her to make some corrections.

In other words, strictly speaking, it wasn’t her job, so it was virtually the same as a thankless task.
“I’ll correct it immediately.”
Even though Mi Ju bowed her head and apologized, Manager Sung didn’t look like he would back down at all.
“We’ve already received CS from the event participants, what are you going to do? Huh? How are you going to take responsibility!”
As he was yelling and scolding her, someone interjected.
“What’s going on?”
The person who blocked her and asked, as if hiding Mi Ju behind his back, was none other than Chief Yoon Tae Ha.
