After saying that, as if to refresh herself, Lajin smiled and covered her lower belly with her hand.
Yoonhee’s face turned from blinking to amazement. No way. Not really, but just in case…
“Director, I mean, this might sound absurd, but… Are you… pregnant?”
“You didn’t notice?”
“No, I thought you were just changing jobs…”
Lajin’s eyes widened.
“I thought it was too difficult to assist the director, so you were changing jobs.”
Oh, that’s what she thought.
“Uh, then, are you getting married?”
“No.”
“Gasp!”
Yoonhee, who had been holding her breath, quickly composed herself.
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s something I didn’t expect.”
“It’s okay. It was an unexpected piece of news. Not a typical situation. I would have been surprised myself.”
As Yoonhee made a composed expression, she hesitated for a moment and then cautiously asked.
“Director, then… the person becoming the baby’s father…?”
Lajin, whose face had momentarily darkened, weakly smiled.
“Sorry, Yoonhee. I can’t go into details right now. Someday, when there’s a chance, I’ll tell you. And… can you keep this a secret?”
“Of course! My lips are sealed!”
With teary eyes, Yoonhee nodded.
“Yoonhee?”
“Director, don’t forget that I’m always here for you. If you ever need help, just let me know. I’ll miss you at the company… And thinking about you raising the baby alone… Ugh!”
Eventually, Yoonhee burst into tears. Flustered, Lajin tried her best to comfort her.
“Yoonhee, don’t cry. What if the director sees us…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the office door opened.
“Miss Secretary, I’ll be in meetings until lunch. Take care of some matters and join me afterward.”
Seeing Yoonhee, who was now a tearful mess, and consoling Lajin, he stopped in his tracks.
“What’s going on?”
“Uh, nothing!”
“In the office, crying like that, and you say it’s nothing? Are you trying to pass it off as if I wouldn’t notice? Tell me the real story.”
Lajin, shocked by the revelation of her pregnancy and her impending departure, had her mind blank.
‘What should I do? What should I do?’
In situations like this, whenever Jaiheon asked a question and an immediate answer didn’t follow, he would shoot a cold glance that said, ‘You’re not prepared.’
Panicking, Yoonhee’s mind recalled the most infuriating story she heard on an entertainment counseling show she watched attentively yesterday.
“My boyfriend saw me with no makeup yesterday, screamed, and ran away. He hasn’t contacted me since!”
Silence filled the room.
“…I failed. What am I babbling about now?”
Jaehun was extremely sensitive about his privacy. Exposing his own private life was, of course, discomforting, but he also found it highly unpleasant to discover the private lives of others, especially those he had no interest in.
“Could I be leaving the company before Director-nim… Ahaha….”
Even a forced laughter escaped in a panic. Witnessing such a Yunhee, Jaehun flinched and then opened his mouth, avoiding eye contact.
“Secretary Jung.”
Why was he being called? Was he going to be fired on the spot?
Yunhee, lowering her gaze to the floor, weakly replied, “Yes, Director-nim.”
“Take this.”
Jaehun took out a wallet from his jacket pocket and handed Yunhee a black card.
Lajin widened her eyes. Isn’t that Director-nim’s personal card?
“Buy whatever you want to eat.”
“What? W-why would you…”
Yunhee looked at the black card in her hand and took a deep breath. This is a premium card that only the top 0.1% in the country can issue! To see it in person, and to be able to use it to buy whatever she wants!
“And from today, you can leave work on time for the next three days.”
“R-really?”
Yunhee looked at Jaehun with disbelief, her mouth agape.
“Return the card after a week.”
“Then, during that week, eat whatever you want… Is that your generous offer…?”
When Jaehun confirmed with silence, Yunhee’s face brightened, and she poured out all sorts of praise.
“People might say that Director-nim is cold, picky, and strict, but we knew! We knew how serious, meticulous, and deep you are! Thank you so much, Director-nim!”
Lajin hesitated. No matter what, is it okay to suddenly receive the boss’s card like that?
Then, suddenly, without realizing it, she and Jaehun locked eyes, and she averted her gaze.
“…”
Seeing Lajin’s reaction, Jaehun, without showing it on the surface, bit his lower lip and clenched and then released his fist.
“However, there is a condition.”
“A condition?”
“I want my entire secretary team to move together.”
Yunhee’s eyes sparkled. Does that mean she has to move with the Director?
‘It’s perfect! I wanted to take care of it anyway. Might as well get an expensive one with a black card. I can’t spend as much as I want with my salary alone. Hehe.’
“Yes, understood! Uh, Director-nim. By any chance… what’s the limit we should adhere to? Can we exceed 50,000 won for a meal… no, is it okay to go over 300,000 won?”
Jaehun looked at Lajin, who was bowing her head, avoiding eye contact.
If just looking at my face is hard for her, then maybe take a step back.
But he wanted to do something for her. If he did it himself, she would surely feel burdened and pained.
“Secretary Jung.”
“Yes, Director-nim.”
“This.”
Jaehun took out another card from his wallet and handed it over.
‘Huh, this is an incredible premium card that I’ve seen during VIP etiquette training! Why is he giving me this one too?’
Yunhee received the card with trembling hands.
“At least one million won a day.”
Yunhee doubted her ears.
“…What? Not for a week but for a day?”
“Yeah. Make sure to spend at least one million won each day.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
