Seo Young perused the documents brought by her secretary.

Chairman Seo Seongjae, Seo Hoemyeong, the president of Geonyoung Construction, and Seo Juhan, the executive director of Geonyoung Food.

She had already grasped Jaehun’s family relationships, but she scrutinized the details carefully in case she missed anything.

Following the family relationships were the relationships within the company.

The first page contained personal information about the employees in his secretary’s office.

“… Sarajin.”

An unusual name.

Seo Young’s expression as she looked at Sarajin’s photo was subtle.

“It would have been nice if the face was unusual too.”

A small, graceful face with fair skin, large eyes, and clear, clean pupils. Looking at her neck and shoulders, she seemed to have a slender figure.

Given the unexpressive ID photo, in reality, she might be even more beautiful.

Tap, tap, tap.

Long fingernails intermittently tapped on the desk.

The fact that the secretary assisting beside Jaehun all the time was a beauty caught Seo Young’s attention.

Moreover, Jaehun personally chose her.

He proposed the secretary position to Sarajin, who was his college club junior, and the two had been working together for four years.

“Secretary Yoon.”

The secretary standing in front of Seo Young nervously replied.

“Yes, Director.”

“This woman named Sarajin. Was there anything special between you and Director Seo?”

“For the past four years, there has been nothing at all.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I heard one of the main reasons Director Seo Seongjae liked her is that there were no issues for the past four years.”

Hm. Chairman Seo Seongjae might seem outgoing and refreshing, but he was an extremely meticulous and stern person.

Even his father, who was known for being lenient, might frown.

‘If the chairman says so, it must be true… Why does it feel so uncomfortable?’

Is it just because she’s pretty?

Is it because of her demure yet somehow charming atmosphere?

While it might seem strange that nothing happened between a man and a woman, considering Jaehun’s cold gaze, it might be plausible.

‘Am I being too sensitive? There hasn’t been any issue for four years. If something were to happen, it would have already.’

Moreover, besides Sarajin, Jaehun had another secretary named Jung Yoonhee.

“Is there anything special here?”

“Yes. She was appointed as a secretary a year ago under the pretext of sharing the excessive workload of the secretary office manager. She was interviewed by Secretary Sa.”

“In essence, she’s a backup for the secretary office manager.”

“Yes, that seems appropriate.”

“They seem to value the secretary office manager a lot.”

Upon hearing that, Secretary Yoon hesitated and couldn’t easily respond.

Seo Young stared at the picture of Lajin as if engaged in a staring contest.

“Secretary Sa, I need to take a look.”

“Did Director personally request that?”

Nodding, Seo Young put down the tablet.

“If she’s going to become my son’s wife and has a close working relationship with a staff member, I need to build a friendship in advance too.”

“What? I told you to proceed in advance!”

She threw the documents she was holding onto the desk, displaying frustration.

“Missing a done deal? How long do you intend to lag behind Jaehun!”

Looking down with a seemingly faceless expression, Juhan, who had been lowering his head, protested with an aggrieved expression.

“If I had someone like Secretary Sa by my side, I would have kicked Jaehun aside by now!”

“What? You’re running your mouth like a sieve…”

“To be honest, this time, it’s not just Jaehun’s merit, it’s all thanks to Secretary Sa.”

“Wait, why is Secretary Sa going too? You said you don’t want to be disturbed during personal time!”

“Because Lajin and I are friends.”

Saying that, Juhan remembered William Stuart, who smiled at Lajin, and his teeth clenched again.

“If I had such a woman, no, a secretary office manager by my side, I would have pushed aside Jaehun by now.”

Smart. Diligent. Keeps secrets. Loyal. And on top of that, she’s beautiful.

“Why don’t I have such a woman by my side?”

At Juhan’s muttering, Chairman Seo gave his son a meaningful look with intense eyes.
“Speaking of that woman. Did Jaehun really go on a business trip alone with my secretary manager? Were there no other people?”

“As far as I have checked, there were none.”

“Until now, such a thing has never happened.”

Juhan uttered nonchalantly.

“He can’t do anything to surpass me, right? This matter must be important enough to break the principles.”

Indeed, they managed to secure the contract.

“Jaehun has successfully concluded contracts and projects until now, and none of them were unimportant.”

Juhan looked unimpressed.

“Why are you suddenly praising that guy?”

Even with his son’s resentful tone, Chairman Seo paid no attention and stroked his chin with his hand.

“Hmm.”

“Why are you like this?”

“He’s the guy who never broke the principles even when signing a more important contract than this. That’s why he was more formidable and tough.”

“But… I mean…”
