Look at this, Kang Hyun scratched his eyelid, laughing at his simplicity.

“Why should guilt be related to a car accident? I was talking about the incident where the stepmother brought a man into the main bedroom.”
Se Jun’s face, which was rigid for a moment, unable to hide his flustered expression, was vividly reflected in Kang Hyun’s sharp eyes.

“Ah, I guess I got ahead of myself. That accident caused your brother to pass away, and there were malicious rumors about Executive Director Tae. That he had become a mental patient due to severe mental illness, or that he was a drug addict. I thought anyone would want to blame someone.”
Se Jun, who had picked provocative words while stroking his cheekbones, maintained a relaxed posture, tilting his head slightly.

Sejun’s forehead tightened more and more as he faced the headacheinducing opponent. He seemed to understand why Taeseok Kyu had warned him several times.

It seemed best to avoid confrontation for the time being, but Kang Hyun didn’t seem willing to let it go.

“Have you ever heard the name Han Seo Yoon?”
“Hahaha, well, it’s not an unusual name, so I may have heard it here and there. I’ve been meeting a lot of people since I was young.”
“And you’ve never heard it from your stepmother?”
Sejun hid his increasingly clenched hand in his pants pocket.

Whether it was because of his parched, moistureless eyes, the tension began to rise little by little.

“My sister never brings up family matters. As you know, our late brother was very conservative.”
“I know a lot about the traffic accident, but Seo Yoon doesn’t. It’s interesting.”
Kang Hyun, who watched Jian being distracted by looking around the hall with curious eyes, leaned his head towards Sejun’s ear and lowered his voice.

“Did you know Seo Jian then?”
Sejun, who was wrinkled fitting his age, flinched at the corners of his eyes.

No matter where the arrow of suspicion pointed, he wouldn’t find any evidence to prove the artificial accident. However, it was hard to calm the disturbance in his heart.

“I just heard that name. Tae is the executive assistant.”
“I see.”
Kang Hyun shrugged his shoulders and stepped back like someone who just asked a light question.

If there is something to hide, react; if not, don’t. After all, there was no other way, he was simply prodding everything.

He had to not miss the moment when someone who bit the bait thrown here and there would come to the surface.

Of course, while struggling to catch a fish, protecting Seo Yoon was more important than anything else.

Jian, who didn’t bother to eavesdrop on Kang Hyun and Sejun’s conversation and admired the glamorous event hall, stood quietly a few steps away and looked at the spacious back.

Did she suspect the man known as the CEO of Seowon Entertainment to be the culprit?

“Executive Director.”
Though she introduced herself as Seo Jian, her actions were ambiguous.

Jian, who remembered the resolution she had made when she came here, tightened her hand and wrapped it around Kang Hyun’s waist.

More than that, she wanted to hide his back, which was steeped in an indescribable loneliness.

She did not know the relationship between Han Seo Yoon and Tae Kang Hyun, or the exact sequence of the accident, but he always seemed lonely, having lost his family and lover in an accidental accident.

Someone who was lonely being alone, yet didn’t know they were lonely.

Every time she saw Kang Hyun clinging to the traces of his deceased lover, she had such thoughts. So she was more worried.

“Have you finished your conversation?”
The jetblack pupils that were staring at Gu Sejun twitched and slowly turned to capture Jian.

Without time to discern either the distant or the hazy, a heavy arm wound around the shoulder like a snake and pulled close.

Ji An, almost burying her face in Kang Hyun’s chest, blinked her eyes in surprise.

“I like office romance. I know enough about the relationship between you two.”
Goo Se Jun showed a fake smile while licking his thick lower lip. He couldn’t reveal his noisy inside.

“Well then, I’ll leave.”
As Se Jun took advantage of the opening and distanced himself, Ji An’s hand quietly slipped from Kang Hyun’s waist.

When she saw the arm still around her shoulder, Ji An slightly regretted her bold move from earlier.

All of her cells were standing towards Tae Kang Hyun, so her throat was dry.

Before she explained her reckless behavior, she wanted to gulp down cold water first.

“Um, Mr. Director.”
“If you’re going to be so proactive, you should’ve given me a heads up.”
Kang Hyun loosened his suffocating necktie, creating a breathing passage.

It was only touching over the dress shirt covered by a suit jacket.

The small hand that approached unexpectedly felt like it was digging into his clothes, and his skin was burning that it felt like dying.

“Were you surprised?”
“Wouldn’t it be a disgrace if I screamed.”
“Mr. Director screaming? That’s impossible.”
The corners of Ji An’s eyes, who tilted her head, curved beautifully.

“Funny.”
Following the beautiful smile, his hand habitually went up. Kang Hyun, who had pressed his fingertip on the eye with a small point, suddenly came to his senses.

“This is serious.”
“What is?”
“Getting used to Mr. Director’s hand.”
Ji An, who kept mumbling that it was a big deal and worry was piling up like a mountain, Kang Hyun’s lips twitched slightly.

He was conscious that the distance with her was getting closer, and the strange warmth spread throughout his body, making him feel good.

He was definitely happy.

“Mr. Kang Hyun!”
With the noisy sound of the pointed high heels echoing on the marble floor and the tedious voice ringing, Kang Hyun bit down a curse.

Even without looking back, he could predict the owner of the jingling voice.

Kim So Ye, who approached with small steps as soon as she passed the entrance of the event and found Kang Hyun, glared at Ji An, who had stolen her fiancé’s arms.

“Mr. Kang Hyun, if you’re going to attend such a place, you have to contact. What are you doing now?”
“What I do is not any of Ms. Kim So Ye’s business.”
It seemed that the conversation on the day when she tried to deliver a flower basket in Kang Hyun’s office had been intentionally erased.

“I am Mr. Kang Hyun’s fiancée.”
Kim So Ye, who spread her left palm, pushed her hand back in front of Ji An. A ring as sparkling as the cubic zirconia on her nails was wrapped around the fourth finger.

“This is our engagement ring that Mr. Kang Hyun himself put on at our engagement ceremony. I’ve waited for a whole four years. What do you think, Ms. Seo Ji An? Don’t I have the right to claim this much?”
