Seok Won, who had been spending time outside the event hall after sending Kang Hyun and Jia An in first, noticed a familiar colored sedan and moved.

Seok Won dismissed the employee who was trying to escort him and instead opened the backseat door himself.

“Manager Do!”
As soon as the door opened, Yeon Ju, who had sprung out, grabbed his solid arm.

“What’s with this outfit?”
“How is it, good? Don’t even speak, I had two dresses I had spotted since last week, you know? That Kang Hyun, that crazy guy, he swept them all again, to dress not Seo Yoon but Ms. Jia An! I should’ve moved the shop earlier. I can’t compete with the chaebol.”
The dress Yeon Ju chose after all her clothes had been taken by Kang Hyun was an offshoulder dress with sparkles.

“It’s cold today. Don’t you have a jacket?”
“Ah, the coat! I left it in the car.”
Seok Won, who turned his head for a moment and sighed, reluctantly took off his suit to cover her shoulders.

He didn’t want to let her walk around revealing her straight collarbone and round shoulders.

“What’s with you, Do Seok Won? You’re surprisingly conservative? You said you didn’t like me. Why would you take off your clothes for a woman you don’t like?”
He had only said he didn’t want to meet her, not that he didn’t like her, but Seok Won didn’t bother to reiterate that.

He was thinking of helping Yeon Ju give up after three dates.

“I take off my clothes for women I don’t like too.”
“Hah!”
Seok Won had grown up on the money from the Seo Won Group’s scholarship foundation. He had not received personal sponsorship like Seo Yoon, but he had nothing to show off either.

A moderately sized apartment and a mediumsized sedan. Even if he was receiving an overflowing salary at a young age, the world he lived in was different from those who received invitations to this eve event.

“Let’s go in for now. I need to be next to Ms. Jia An while the Executive is exchanging greetings.”
The answer was not to start a relationship where the ending was already determined.

This time, Se Jun, who had his deep gaze fixed on a familiar face, offered a handshake to Jia An.

“Nice to meet you, Ms. Jia An. I’m Se Jun Gu, president of Seo Won Entertainment.”
Even if she had lived as Jia An Seo for 4 years, Han Seo Yoon, who had certainly enjoyed material satisfaction in Tae Kang Hyun’s arms for a long time, had a fine lineage.

Whether it was because she was wearing luxury goods, she also had a chicness that Jia An did not have.

Even knowing she was not the real Jia An, he found her quite tempting.

He had met countless women, but surely, inside and out, Jia An had given him the most satisfaction.

That was why he maintained a relationship that usually didn’t last a month, for longer.

It would have been nice if she hadn’t come up with an ultrasound picture out of nowhere and indulged in vain greed.

Se Jun, savouring the regretful taste, waited for the hand of the woman who was about to approach.

Jian hesitated for a moment before raising her arm. The sticky gaze that clung to her was oddly uncomfortable, but it wasn’t a situation to ignore the greeting.

However, Jian’s hand that cut through the air was grabbed by Kang Hyun, not Se Jun.

Pulling the clasped hand and hiding Jian behind him, Kang Hyun took a step closer to Se Jun.

“Oh, it seems our Executive Director really cares for his subordinates.”
“We should care.”
Se Jun smirked lightly. He had anticipated this reaction to some extent.

After hearing over and over again about the significance of Han Seo Yoon to Tae Kang Hyun, from President Tae Seok Kyu to his sister Se Hee, he was told not to provoke him and to take care of himself. But he wasn’t particularly scared.

What was there to fear about a man who, even after inheriting most of Seo Won’s fortune from his father, Tae Seok Jung, was ruined because of a woman?

He was curious about how far he had reached the truth of the past.

Unable to read anything from Tae Kang Hyun’s indifferent face, he wanted to dissect the woman, but he couldn’t make a clear judgment.

Did he not tell her that this woman was Han Seo Yoon even after having a fingerprint test? Or was he pretending to be Seo Jian while knowing everything?

It was possible that the two had already coordinated their stories.

“I met your stepmother not long ago.”
Kang Hyun opened his mouth as Congressman Park Jong Tae also left his seat and people’s attention started to scatter.

“She must have been very pleased. My sister has been worrying a lot about Executive Director Tae.”
Worrying about what?

“She didn’t seem happy, as if she had a guilty conscience. She seemed anxious.”
Kang Hyun’s corner of the mouth drew a thin line as he murmured low.

Se Jun chewed his gums, recalling Se Hee, who was afraid of Kang Hyun while making the microphone.

If Se Hee, the weakest of them all, had shown any signs, it would have been a real disaster.

“She has no guilt. My sister has nothing to do with the car accident.”
A hasty response sprang from Se Jun’s mouth, who had straightened his slightly slouched posture.
