“By any chance, what does Director think about a woman seven years his senior?”
She couldn’t bear to hear it. Si Hyun stood up and fled. As she hastily exited the break room, Tae Ha’s answer came from behind.

“It’s a pretty age. Whatever they do, it’s cute.”
Si Hyun, who was the same age as Mi Joo, burst into laughter.

“Really, our Director, you’ve got sense! How do you make a joke without even smiling?”
“I’m serious.”
It’s crazy, it’s insane. Si Hyun quickened her pace to the office, stomping her feet.

“Mr. Kang!”
And just then, she ran into Bo Ra in the middle of the hallway.

“Oh, Miss Bo Ra.”
“Your face is really red. Are you sick? Should I go buy you some medicine?”
Bo Ra looked at her with worry.

“No, I’m just a little tired.”
“You’ve been feeling unwell continuously. Did something happen with your fiancé?”
Bo Ra scrutinized her expression with a meaningful look.

Mi Joo had been like this earlier, and it seemed like she had caught on, which made Si Hyun feel awkward. No matter how close they were, spreading the word about her fiancé’s infidelity wouldn’t be a good thing.

“Something? Nothing happened.”
“That’s right? You two are good, right?”
Bo Ra clapped her hands as if that settled it.

“Anyway, there’s no way there could be a problem between the two of you. Your fiancé, when he looks at you, honey drips from his eyes.”
“Really?”
That was unexpected. How did Bo Ra feel that, when she herself didn’t know?

“Of course. I was envious just looking at you two. You two, you’re truly a match made in heaven. I think you’ll live really well after you get married.”
If she had heard those words just a few days earlier, she would have felt so happy. Si Hyun was wondering whether to laugh or cry, when suddenly someone interjected.

“Excuse me for a moment.”
Tae Ha, with a stern expression, grabbed Bo Ra’s arm and disappeared down the hallway.

((()))

“Director?”
She called out in surprise, but Tae Ha took Bo Ra towards the emergency stairs without a word. He pushed her into the emergency exit, roughly closed the door, and then finally, Tae Ha let go of Bo Ra’s arm like he was flinging it.

“I warned you clearly. Don’t appear before my eyes again.”
Bo Ra looked like she was about to cry.

“That’s too much. We’re in the same company, on the same floor, how am I not supposed to appear before your eyes?”
“Don’t pretend you don’t understand. I told you to stop lingering around Kang Si Hyun!”

“What exactly are you saying? What have I done to Miss Kang….”
With a pitiful look on her trembling face, Bora stared at Tae Ha who sneered at her.

“Excuse me? The two of you are absolutely made for each other? If you get married, it seems like you’ll live really well?”
He glared at Bora as if he wanted to kill her. If he had a knife in his hand at that moment, she would have been bleeding from a stab wound.

“Stop deceiving people.”
Bora was taken aback.

‘What exactly does he know? To what extent is he aware?’
While she was pondering how to handle this, a swift warning came her way.

“Don’t even think about denying it. I clearly saw the two of you at the hotel.”
What the heck, he knows everything. Bora hid the fear from her face and shrugged her shoulders. She stared back into Tae Ha’s eyes and grinned.

“I just met him a few times because he was so insistent, and I’ve already ended it. If you don’t believe me, go ask him.”
Tae Ha stared back into her eyes. His expression seemed to question how she could be so confident.

But Bora was truly confident. It was Si Hyun who had stolen what was hers in the first place. I just paid her back for what she did to me.

“You’re not planning on telling Miss Kang, are you? She’s already hurt knowing her fiancé is seeing another woman, how much more hurt will she be if she knows that woman is me.”
Tae Ha clenched his teeth. He didn’t even try to hide his desire to hit Bora. Of course, he couldn’t hit a woman, so Bora laughed without a care.

“I really like Miss Kang. I have no plans to break up their marriage. Since it’s already been settled, just keep your mouth shut, and this will pass.”
With that said, she gave a small bow, as if to excuse herself. Just as she was about to leave, Tae Ha called out to her.

“Miss Lee Ha Neul.”
She stared at him in disbelief, wondering if he was doing this on purpose. His expression remained rigid.

Yun Tae Ha genuinely didn’t remember her. Even the fact that her name was Bora, Pink or Sky, she realized he didn’t care at all.

“Why are you doing this to Kang Si Hyun? What has she done wrong….!”
“Yun Tae Ha.”
Tae Ha looked surprised. Looking at his face, Bora retorted coldly.

“The one who’s in the wrong isn’t Kang Si Hyun. It’s you.”

((()))

“After work, standing at the bus stop, what arrived before the bus in front of Si Hyun was the same black car she had taken to work that morning.

The car window slid open to reveal Tae Ha’s face.

“Get in. Let’s go eat dinner.”
She was about to refuse but then Si Hyun changed her mind. It seemed like it would be a good idea to have a serious conversation with Tae Ha.
