“It’s been a while since I’ve contacted Jeong Sunwoo. Well, he must be doing well.”
Jae Heon tried to quickly pass over the talk about Sunwoo.
“He’s doing well.”

His expression became subtle at her response.
“……How did your personal secretary know that?”
“We spoke on the phone about a week ago.”
A week ago? That’s not long ago.
“Have you been in contact all along?”
Ra Jin nodded.

She was not the type to first reach out and ask how others were doing. Therefore, she didn’t have many close friends or seniors.

However, for some reason, Sun Woo found her stiff personality cute and took good care of her, and that connection continued.

Even these days, he would sometimes call first to ask how she was doing. He was a very grateful person.
“Yes, I got a call from Brother Sun Woo from time to time.”
On the other hand, Jae Heon’s expression became even more subtle.

Yes…… When she was talking with him in the bar before, Ra Jin seemed to be in touch with Sun Woo. Did Sun Woo ask about his condition?

He wasn’t feeling well then, but not as much as now.

His way of addressing him was extremely annoying.

Maybe when she’s with Sun Woo, Ra Jin is more relaxed than when she’s in front of him.

Perhaps…… In front of Sun Woo, she might have been smiling the smile she had given him earlier.

‘Why am I so nervous?’
This is, well…… Yeah, it’s just like stocks.

You have to thoroughly investigate the company you’re investing in, and if you’ve invested, you have to keep checking for issues.

That’s why Ra Jin is on my mind.

Because she’s a contract partner.

The less issues the contractor has, the less likely it is to fail.

That’s why I’m nervous, there’s no other reason.

Even though he came to that conclusion, for some reason, Jae Heon’s mind was not at ease at all.
“Then our contract term is set for 3 months?”
“Yes……”
Jae Heon, who inadvertently responded, licked his lips with a “Oops,” but Ra Jin spoke first before he could say anything.
“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll move on to the matter of address.”
That’s how he inadvertently set the contract period.
‘Damn. I must find a way to cure insomnia within 3 months.’
With that thought, he brightened his eyes.
“Wait, is renewal possible?”
“Renewal…… Sir?”
“What about renewing the contract with each other’s agreement after 3 months. I think I’ll still need a personal secretary.”
Ra Jin’s heart, which was just beginning to stabilize, started to tremble again.

She had no idea that he would hold on to her first. It was already the second time.

She started to have a hunch.

Maybe…… Was Jae Heon holding her in his heart?

Then Ra Jin lowered her head. It’s best not to have unnecessary expectations. It only consumes oneself in the end.

For clarity, Ra Jin decided to ask Jae Heon.
“Director.”
Jae Heon was taken aback by her sudden determined gaze.

Was it a rejection?
“Do you have any other reason to contract with me beyond my secretarial duties?”
“….”
“I think it’s related to the second term of the conditions you have proposed. It’s too random to simply want to sleep together…”
Damn, Ra Jin was too smart. That’s why she can handle tasks so thoroughly and picky, hitting my liking spot on.

Even if it’s my closest secretary, I had decided just now that I should not reveal my weakness.

Although I really don’t want to assume this, Ra Jin might turn around like my stepfather while behaving on my side.

If she happens to leak to my stepfather’s side that I have insomnia….
‘Should I tell her.’
I know that I can trust Ra Jin.

Because I chose her with my own hands.

But as Jae Heon who has never revealed his problem before, he was greatly troubled.

Also, he hesitated, feeling like he was burdening her.

If Ra Jin isn’t by my side, I can’t sleep.

Isn’t this basically asking her to be by my side every day even after work?

Of course, the current contract is almost the same….
“I understand. If you’re uncomfortable, I won’t ask.”
Seeing Jae Heon hesitating with an awkward expression, Ra Jin decided to back off.

It seemed to be related to insomnia, but she didn’t want to forcibly ask about his secret that he didn’t want to reveal.

But the disappointment that she couldn’t hide was evident on her face. Seeing Ra Jin’s look, Jae Heon took a deep breath and said.
“I can’t sleep.”
Phew. Jae Heon leaned deeply into the couch’s backrest with a long sigh.
“Yes, you told me before. So I understand why you’ve been so prickly and picky….”
She closed her mouth, but Jae Heon had already heard.
“It seems like you just criticized me heavily with a word starting with ‘p’.”
“It seems like you’re hearing things due to insomnia.”
Ha. Look at this. Using it as soon as she knows my weakness.
“This is why I didn’t want to reveal it. Because anything can be related to insomnia.”
“I misspoke. I overlooked your innate temperament and disposition.”
Uh. That sounds even worse.
“But, Director.”
“What. What else?”

“It seemed like you slept well yesterday.”
Finally, it had come to this point.

The reason he included the second term in the contract.
“You were sleeping so deeply this morning that you didn’t notice when I left…”
There was a hint of suspicion along with concern in Ra Jin’s tone.
“That’s why I need a personal secretary.”
