“I’ve heard about her, but I don’t remember whether I’ve seen her or not.”
He had heard that the daughter of the head office’s vice president was working in an affiliate company, but that company wasn’t even in the main office building, so honestly, he didn’t even know who she was.
“Is, is that so? You don’t know her well. The daughter of that house has seen you and is said to be interested in you.”
At Young Suk’s words, Hye Mi’s eyes widened.
“Really?”
Her expression was slightly hurt, but Young Suk couldn’t know that.
“That’s right. It’s not a bad omen to have dated once these days, and where can you find a man like Do Ha. The daughter of Vice President Park has high standards and knows how to judge men.”
However, Do Ha flatly rejected her with a stern tone.
“Mother, I have no such intentions, so please stop talking about this.”
He was already feeling down due to Hyun Seo’s matter, and now this marriage proposal. The timing was truly cruel.
“No, son. Why not meet her just once? If you don’t know her well, it wouldn’t hurt to see her at least once.”
“Huh…”
Do Ha tried to turn away, not wanting to bring up the topic of marriage at all.
“Son, are you doing this because of Hyun Seo?”
But suddenly, at Young Suk’s stern voice, Do Ha froze midstep.
Looking at Do Ha who turned around with a cold face, Young Suk fired her words.
“Aren’t you still waiting for her? How long are you planning to live clinging to a ghost when you don’t even know whether she’s alive or dead?”
Do Ha looked quietly at his mother’s face. Seeing her talk like this, it seemed she still didn’t know about Hyun Seo.

“And that girl even messed up my heart before leaving!”
It was rather a relief. It would be unnecessary to stir things up by finding out now.
“Look at her, not even sending her regards once. She’s probably living well somewhere without a thought of you, so stop acting like a pathetic guy.”
Do Ha felt his mother’s words pierce his heart like thorns. Hyun Seo was indeed living well without thinking of him, eating well, living well, dating well, marrying well, and even having a baby.
Do Ha swallowed his sorrow alone and turned around with a pained face.
“I couldn’t sleep last night and I’m a bit tired, so I need to rest. Please, take your time and finish your meal.”
“Son! Do Ha!”
Young Suk stood up abruptly, intending to hold her son back. However, Hye Mi held her back, grabbing her arm.
“Let go, let him be, Mother. He said he’s tired.”
Young Suk, with a face full of annoyance, could only watch Do Ha’s receding back.
“What can I do? It’s not like a manwoman issue can be forced.”
“But, listening quietly all this while, did you come here to help today, or to interfere?”
“Oh my, Mother. Of course, I came here to help!”
Even looking at Hye Mi’s cheerful smile, Young Suk could only sigh.
“Anyway, that boy never listens to his mother. He never has in his life!”
Finally, the samples of Songhwa Palace Line products were out.
At today’s meeting, the samples were unveiled, and topics related to the direction of advertising and models were discussed.
The meeting, taking place in SH Cosmetics’ office, was attended by Executive Director Do Ha Chae and Representative Lucas Yu.

Neither of them smiled or shook hands from the initial greetings, maintaining an extremely businesslike attitude throughout the meeting.
The employees below them were concerned about the meeting’s content, seeing both of their bosses looking so low in spirits.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
In the middle of it all, Representative Lucas Yu glanced at his phone and stood up. He quickly left the meeting room to answer the call.
Watching this, Do Ha stared at Lucas’s retreating back until the door closed.
Normally, one wouldn’t answer a call during a meeting unless it was urgent, and for a moment, he wondered if that call could have been from Hyun Seo.
Come to think of it, Hyun Seo didn’t attend the meeting today.
Did I make him uncomfortable?
He must have been eager to see the sample that was about to be unveiled, and if he had seen it, he might have had a lot to say here.
“By the way.”
During the brief pause in the meeting without Lucas, Do Ha finally couldn’t hold back and asked a question about Hyun Seo.
“Director Hyun Seo couldn’t make it today.”
“Oh, yes. He originally intended to come today, but he had to cancel due to another appointment.”
The team leader from Songhwa Palace, unaware of the situation, replied cheerfully.

“I see.”
Do Ha was sure that Hyun Seo had canceled the meeting here because of him.
“Well, your husband will relay it to you.”
Suppressing his suffocating emotions, he spoke with a calm facade.
“Your…husband?”
However, the Songhwa Palace team leader asked with a puzzled expression.
“Wouldn’t Representative Lucas relay it?”
Do Ha made a bitter face as he said the words he didn’t want to say.
“Representative Lucas? You don’t mean our Representative Lucas?”
“Do we have another Representative Lucas?”
