“On a blazing Friday evening, there was a team dinner for the entire OneApp team. It was a gathering to congratulate those who were promoted, including Sihyun. At the Grand Hotel, the chosen venue for the dinner, enough cars were sent to ensure that all the OneApp team members could attend.

“Welcome.”

Upon arriving at the hotel, the general manager personally came out to guide the team members to the restaurant. A spot with the best view was prepared.

Pointing to the wine set brought by the waiter, the general manager said, “Our chairman, unfortunately, couldn’t personally greet the esteemed guests due to an important schedule. As an apology, he sent this.”

Knowing that the so-called important schedule was actually a part-time job at a curry restaurant, Sihyun couldn’t help but suppress a laugh.

“In case anyone overindulges, rooms are prepared. Please enjoy the evening with a comfortable mind.”

After the general manager left, people admired the wine set they had just received.

“Is this the famous Romanée-Conti we’ve only heard about?”

“Oh, our chairman is sure about his love for the prospective daughter-in-law.”

In response to someone’s comment, Taeha cut in sharply, “Not a prospective daughter-in-law.”

The surroundings fell silent like water had been poured on them. The team member who spoke up, and even Sihyun, felt the embarrassment, but Taeha continued, “I haven’t proposed yet. Speaking like that puts Manager Kang Sihyun in an awkward position, doesn’t it?”

With a cheerful smile, Miju asked, “So, Director Bonbu, do you want to marry Sihyun?”

“I want to do it right away.”

This time, faces lit up for a different reason. Sihyun started looking for a way out.

“Why aren’t you proposing quickly?”

“Right, when words are out, you should ask her boldly!”

There was a sense of urgency in their expressions, as if saying, “What are you waiting for?”

However, Sihyun couldn’t do that. Although she had thought about it, but…

“Don’t pressure her. If she’s rejected, won’t you be responsible?”

In the end, Taeha had to intervene to stop the team members.

“Don’t worry, Director Bonbu. I’ll take responsibility and push for it firmly!”

With a hearty pat on the chest, Miju, with a look of great trust, gazed at Taeha.

“Director Lee, I’ll get you a drink.”

“It’s my honor!”

In the lively atmosphere, a delightful meal began.

Even for Sihyun, who had already had several meals at this restaurant, today, it seemed like extra care had been put into each menu. It seemed that the kitchen had received a message that they had a distinguished guest.

So, the meal should taste much better than usual, but Sihyun couldn’t appreciate the flavor much. The words Taeha had said earlier kept swirling in her mind.

Sihyun didn’t realize that Taeha was having such thoughts.

“Oh, by the way, will everyone attend Lee Bora’s wedding?”

Someone’s words brought Sihyun back to her senses.

“Whether you go or not, you’ll waste a golden weekend that you won’t get back, so it’s a dilemma.”

Saying that, Bora publicly declared that she would resign soon. No one wanted to waste a precious weekend on the wedding of someone who was about to resign.
Due to someone’s words, Sihyun barely came back to her senses.

“Regardless, even if we go, we won’t get anything back later. This is making me overthink.”

“But if we don’t go, what’s the point? It’s ambiguous.”

While returning wedding invitations, Bora publicly declared that she would soon resign. There was no one who wanted to waste a golden weekend on the wedding of someone who was going to resign anyway.

Eventually, the team members decided to appoint one person as a representative to convey the congratulatory money.

“Who will go as the representative?”

No one raised their hand, so they decided to use a ladder to determine.

Sihyun was slightly nervous inside. What if I get chosen?

Although she boasted loudly to Bora that she could receive a bouquet if she wanted, it was just words, and she had no intention of attending the wedding.

If she were to attend the wedding of the woman who had an affair with her man, it would usually be to cause a scene. She might expose the affair to the in-laws or, at the very least, wear white clothes and stand next to the bride as if nothing happened.

However, Sihyun had no such thoughts. She had no interest whatsoever, so she had no intention of ruining anything. Even if the groom were Wujin, it would have been the same.

She didn’t even want to see it with her own eyes. Even if she had no interest, seeing Bora in a dazzling wedding dress, smiling happily, wouldn’t make her feel good.

In every way, it was best not to attend that wedding.

Fortunately, Miju was the one chosen by the ladder. Miju’s expression clearly showed her dissatisfaction.

“Why do I have to see that situation…!”

Sihyun quickly nudged Miju’s side. It meant to endure and not look at my face.
