The other party was, of course, Woo Jin. If she had told him to stop, he should have been grateful for the time they spent together and taken the hint, but for the past few days, he had been calling without understanding the situation.

Already from the early morning, more than ten missed calls had accumulated. She was at the point of losing interest.

“Why would you marry such a man, I just don’t understand.”
As Bo Ra, who was even thinking that it was unfortunate for Si Hyun, was checking her phone, she suddenly was startled by the text message popping up below the missed call notification.

Si Hyun found out. As soon as you see this, contact me, Bo Ra.
What?

Startled, Bo Ra immediately left her office and entered an empty conference room. As soon as she pressed the call button, Woo Jin picked up as if he had been waiting.

Why aren’t you answering, Bo Ra. Do you know how hard it’s been for me?
Barely suppressing her irritation at his clingy voice, Bo Ra managed to sound regretful.

“I was afraid I’d go soft hearing your voice.”
Bo Ra…!
A touched voice returned, but that wasn’t the problem now. Bo Ra asked urgently.

“But what do you mean Si Hyun found out?”
Just as I said. Si Hyun found out. About the necklace gift as well.
Bo Ra’s vision went dark for a moment. I’ve warned him so many times to be careful, what an idiot!

At a moment when she almost spat out an expletive, Woo Jin spoke again.

But she doesn’t know it’s you.
“What?”
She knows I’m seeing another woman, but she doesn’t know it’s you yet.
A sigh of relief escaped her. It was a blessing in disguise.

“Listen carefully, I’ve said it from the beginning, haven’t I? Even though I was attracted to you, I really like Si Hyun, and I don’t want to hurt her.”
Woo Jin answered in a disheartened voice.

Yeah.
“I must never let her know it’s me. If Si Hyun finds out, I won’t be able to show my face at work. If that happens, I’ll just die.”
Bo Ra emphasized this several times, even mixing in threats.

I understand. I’ll make sure she never finds out. Just trust me.

She managed to blow half the cover already and asked for trust, what an idiot. Cursing internally, Bora forced out a sullen tone.

“Thank you, Woo Jin. I’ll trust you.”

Just as she was about to hang up, Woo Jin spoke urgently.

“Bora, is this really the end for us?”

Truly annoying. As she glanced at her phone, Bora let out an irritated sigh, making sure it wasn’t audible.

“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t want to interfere with your marriage.”

“But…”

“You both are a great match. Therefore, I’ll forget about it and from now on, please be good to Deputy Manager Kang. That’s the path to your happiness.”

After cajoling him into finally hanging up, Bora was lost in thought.

‘Stay still. Even if he doesn’t know it’s me, he still knows he’s been unfaithful, right?’

Then, isn’t there a possibility of breaking up with Woo Jin? If they were to divorce, Yun Tae Ha wouldn’t leave Kang Si Hyun alone…!

Her heart sank. It didn’t matter whether or not her marriage with Kim Woo Jin fell through, but it would be a problem if things went well with Yun Tae Ha.

Biting her lip, Bora thought.

‘I can’t just sit around and do nothing.’

With a determined expression, she put on a smile and went out to find Si Hyun.

((()))

She had pretended to remember nothing for now, but Si Hyun’s mind was still a chaotic mess.

If the words Tae Ha had said last night were a real confession, he would probably do it again soon. There was no reason not to repeat a confession once made.

‘What should I do?’

Lost in thought while walking down the office corridor, someone suddenly grabbed Si Hyun’s arm.

“Deputy Manager!”

Surprised, she turned around to see Bora standing there with a smile.

“What are you thinking so deeply about? I called you several times, but you didn’t notice.”

Si Hyun quickly put on a smile.

“It’s nothing. I’ve just been busy with work lately, a bit tired.”

Seeing this, Bora showed a sympathetic face.

“Oh my, did the Director keep working you hard?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

At the mention of the Director, Si Hyun suddenly remembered the incident when Tae Ha was angry with Bora. She took a quick look at Bora.

“Bora, are you okay? The Director was really harsh on you that day.”

Far from being upset, Bora even laughed.

“It’s okay. He’s just being unnecessarily grumpy.”

Feeling a sense of strangeness at her tone as if they were close friends, Si Hyun felt uncomfortable.

“Grumpy?”
