‘I wanted to stay together a little longer.’
Even though they had just parted at the airport a moment ago, he quickly missed her.
Back at the office, Jaehyuk, while looking at documents, thought of Arin.
‘Severe is severe. Half Jaehyuk.’
It was the highest priority in his life. Nothing was more important than the company.
‘For Arin’s sake…’
Knock, knock.
It was then.
Opening the home office door, Director Han entered.
“We will depart in thirty minutes.”
As he had an external schedule in the morning, Director Han came for a report before leaving.
“Alright.”
Jaehyuk replied briefly and shifted his gaze back to the documents.
Director Han looked at him with a somewhat awkward expression.
“Vice Chairman, there’s something I need to report regarding the matter you instructed me about last time.”
“If it’s about last time.”
It was about the investigation into Choi Chulsoo and Yoon Kyungsook, and Arin’s biological parents.
“When you were on a business trip to the United States, Madam Louis had contact with Ms. Yoon Kyungsook.”
“Mother?”
Jaehyuk had placed people around Choi and Kyungsook, not to protect them but to monitor them, ensuring they wouldn’t approach Arin recklessly.
“Yes. I can’t be sure what they talked about, but since that day, Ms. Yoon Kyungsook has had frequent meetings with Madam Louis. And…”
As Director Han spoke, he paused for a moment.
“Well, what is it?”
At Jaehyuk’s urging, Director Han continued with a somewhat diminished expression.
“Ms. Heo Euna visited Vice Chairman’s hospital room, and I’ve recently learned that Madam Louis and Ms. Heo Euna also met.”
He stood up abruptly.
“Is that true?”
“Yes. I can’t be certain, but I think Ms. Heo Euna knew about it from before.”
Each time he thought such thoughts, he considered them absurd.
But to dismiss it as mere delusion… there was something fishy.
After much thought, Jaehyuk summoned Director Han.
“Director Han.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“It’s ridiculous, but… there’s one thing I’m thinking right now.”
“Yes.”
“Arin…”
He hesitated before uttering the words, ruffling his hair in frustration.
‘If this isn’t true…’
He vigorously shook his head to shake off the obsession.
‘No. It’s fine as long as Arin doesn’t know. Director Han is the most trustworthy person, so he won’t tell anyone about this.’
Sitting back in his chair with a sigh, Jaehyuk loosened his tie as if feeling stifled.
“When I went to the United States this time and saw Mrs. Louis and Arin standing side by side, I couldn’t help but think that they look too alike.”
“What were you thinking?”
“They looked too similar…”
Director Han, seemingly surprised by Jaehyuk’s words, froze with a stiff expression. As if understanding Director Han’s reaction, Jaehyuk let out a deep sigh before continuing.
“Yeah. I know. It’s an absurd thought. It might be a misconception I created because Mrs. Louis made that phone call. It could be a delusion, and it’s strange.”
Having found his reason again, Jaehyuk crossed one leg over the other and tapped his desk thoughtfully.
“I should erase it, but the more I think, the stranger conviction arises. Somehow, I feel like there’s something.”
Jaehyuk preferred logical and rational thinking. He tended to reject things that were not, yet oddly, his intuition was exceptional.
Perhaps?
Although he preferred rationality, he had great trust in his intuition.
‘There’s really something. Definitely.’
And that intuition was now stirring suspicions about Arin and Euna’s relationship.
“First, find out about Mrs. Louis’s situation while she was in Korea.”
“Yes. Understood.”
Director Han nodded in response.
“And think about how to reveal the relationship between Arin and Mrs. Louis. A genetic test would be the most certain, but as of now, it’s an impractical method, so discreetly explore if there are other ways.”
“Yes. Understood.”
“This is something only Director Han and I know. You understand what I mean.”
“Yes. I will keep it in mind.”
“Secretary Shin, where are you now?”
The expected sight of Secretary Shin was not there. Arin took out her phone and called Secretary Shin.
[Since Madam did not give any special instructions, I’m on my way back to the company.]“Oh.”
[Is something the matter? Are you going out somewhere?]“No, it’s nothing like that. See you tomorrow.”
Arin quickly hung up the phone with Secretary Shin.
‘I can go alone.’
Putting her phone roughly in her bag, Arin walked to the bus stop. After getting off the bus, she headed to the store where Jiyun had contacted her about the bed.
“You’re the person who inquired about the bed a while ago, right?”
As she entered the store, a man who looked like a manager approached.
“I’m really relieved.”
“Yeah.”
There was only one King-size bed in stock available for same-day delivery. It wasn’t a display item, but it was in very clean, almost new condition.
“I’ll take this one.”
After making the payment and leaving her address, Arin left the bedding store with a satisfied expression. There were still about three hours left until the bed arrived.
