Shihyun replied with admiration without much thought.
“Not everyone does it, but some people do it occasionally.”
[DASH] I see.After hanging up the phone, Shihyun, who was excited, returned to the office, and suddenly, Miju appeared from somewhere, grabbed Shihyun’s arm, and led her to an empty meeting room.
“Did you see the announcement, Miss Miju? I’ve been promoted to manager!”
Miju, who was still a second-year assistant, could boast comfortably because she was not a promotion target.
“Right now, the manager is not the problem. Do you know what this is?”
Miju suddenly thrust an envelope in front of Shihyun. It was a wedding invitation.
“Ibora is getting married!”
Miju grumbled.
“She came to our office earlier to distribute wedding invitations. And she said, although she plans to resign soon and focus on preparing for marriage, if anyone has time, she would appreciate it if they could come. How long has it been since she broke up someone else’s marriage? Such a shameless woman!”
Shihyun shrugged her shoulders. Sorry, but she was much less excited than hearing news like the neighbor’s dog giving birth.
“It’s a good thing she’s resigning. I was annoyed at the thought of seeing her face again if I returned to the development team later.”
“What? Why isn’t Miss Shihyun surprised?”
“I heard about it beforehand.”
“Do you know who the groom is?”
Shihyun shook her head. For a moment, she thought, ‘Could it really be Wujin?’ but it wasn’t.
“He’s from the Hanyeong Group, the owner’s family!”
Miju grumbled in frustration, not knowing what to do.
“Earlier, people were searching, so I looked it up too. He seemed handsome with a high social status. I don’t know who that man is or what he’s like to marry. I want to send a letter anonymously.”
“Although I appreciate the thought, just let it go. I’m fine now, so there’s no need to bother. I’m not bothered anymore.”
Anyway, let’s go quickly, while Miju watched Shihyun, and with that, she glanced at Shihyun.
“What is Miss Shihyun doing? Not only can’t you send wedding invitations quickly, but you’ve also been secretly dating all this time.”
“Well, it’s awkward to say when the timing is missed.”
Since the One App team will be disbanded after the launch of One App and Taeha also has a one-year contract, he will leave the company next spring unless something unusual happens.
So, she thought, should she just keep quiet until then? There’s a thrill in secretly dating, after all.
But because of that, Shihyun had no idea what rumors were circulating behind her back.
[Star Icon]At that moment, among the people gathered in the break room, Shihyun was the center of attention.
The starting point was the news of Bora’s marriage.
“I envy you, Miss Bora. Pretty face, good family, and a perfect marriage.”
“That’s right. They say the wedding venue, just for the meal, costs twenty million won per table.”
“Then what about the rumor that Miss Kang Shihyun stole Bora’s fiancé?”
“Hey, it’s probably just a baseless rumor. They say Kang Shihyun’s fiancé is an ordinary office worker, so what could be disappointing for someone like Ibora?”
“Yeah, if they’re sending out wedding invitations, they must have been dating for a long time, but Shihyun recently broke off the engagement, right?”
The wedding invitations had the intended effect for Bora. Everyone dismissed the rumors as groundless.
“Anyway, regardless of the reason, it’s only Kang Shihyun who ended up in a pitiful situation with a broken engagement.”
One person’s comment immediately drew objections from the others.
“What are you talking about? Miss Shihyun has Director Yoon Taeha. What’s there to feel sorry for?”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that Director Yoon is persistently pursuing Miss Shihyun?”
However, the person who spoke up was confident.
“Think about it. Why would Miss Shihyun dislike Director Yoon? She probably refused in the first place because she knew she would jump and oppose once she got there!”
The others looked puzzled. Oh, was that it?
“Miss Shihyun is already thirty-three, unlike Director Yoon, who might not know if he’s younger. If you date vaguely for a year or two, you’re already thirty-five. So, there’s no point in wasting time with someone she can’t marry in the end.”
“What on earth did Miss Shihyun dislike about Director Yoon? So that’s what it was.”
“Well, dating and marriage are different issues.”
“Marriage is broken, and there’s an obvious opposition at Director Yoon’s place. Miss Shihyun is not saying something out of the blue.”
People sighed as if it were a promise.
Poor Miss Shihyun!
[Star Icon]The unexpected visitor to the One App team office came in the afternoon that day.
People who were half-drowsy after lunch and working were startled when they saw an unfamiliar person entering the office without notice, disrupting their sleep.
He was an exceptionally handsome young foreigner who seemed to have jumped out of a Hollywood movie.
Behind him, people who looked like secretaries or assistants were carrying a large box, and even at a glance, it was evident that he wasn’t an ordinary person.
The team leader rushed over and asked with a tense expression, “Excuse me, how did you come in?”
“I came to celebrate the promotion.”
Because the foreigner spoke fluent Korean, people were even more surprised.
The problem was that there were several people in the One App team who were promoted today.
‘Who is it?’
‘It’s not me, is it?’
Perplexed, people just looked at each other, and the foreigner began handing each team member a long box one by one.
In the luxurious box with the Grand Hotel logo embossed in gold, various colored macarons were beautifully arranged instead of rice cakes.
“Please take care of our Manager Kang Shihyun in the future.”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Shihyun. For some reason, the curiosity exploded as they saw Shihyun’s bewildered expression.
Who on earth is this handsome foreigner related to Manager Kang Shihyun?
Was Manager Kang Shihyun’s recent refusal due to him?
In a short time, a myriad of speculations circulated.
After quickly handing out the macarons, the foreigner separately gave his business card to the team leader. The team leader’s eyes widened as he saw the words “Grand Hotel Chairman.”
“Please come to our hotel for a dinner party. We will welcome you as a special guest.”
At that moment, a voice was heard from somewhere.
“Father?”
People all turned to the direction of the sound and then rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Director Yoon Taeha was looking at the foreigner with a pleased expression.
