Even in a patient’s gown, Yoon-ho looks pretty, right? Can I take just one picture?
Eun-seo!
Yoon-ho asked if he could call me noona!!!
Oh, please look at your phone! Answer the call!
I told you not to put it on mute! I said it a thousand times!
…Are you asleep?
The excitement in each message vividly conveyed Sun-ah’s emotions. Eun-seo chuckled and went out of the office to make a call.
Why didn’t you answer my call yesterday!
Although a night had passed, Sun-ah still answered the phone with her excited voice.
“Sorry. I wasn’t in the right state of mind.”
Ah, I see. My mom said that you had to go out suddenly because your cousin siblings were coming?
“Yeah, that’s what happened.”
Then where did you sleep last night?
The words about staying at Kwon Seung-joo’s house didn’t come out easily. While she had nothing to hide from Sun-ah, it seemed that speaking to a third party wouldn’t be appreciated by the landlord.
“The landlord is the CEO. I’ll be staying here during the remaining contract period as part of the accommodation agreement.”
After mentioning that the accommodation was the landlord’s residence without elaborating, Eun-seo subtly changed the subject.
“Anyway, it must be nice. You’ve talked with Chris in person.
It’s not just nice; I couldn’t sleep last night! It would have been great if you had watched with Eun-seo, too.
Once again, Sun-ah’s voice was filled with excitement.
When will Eun-seo come to the hospital again?
“I’ll finish work and go tomorrow evening.”
Can’t you take a half-day off, come in the morning, and then go to work in the afternoon? Anyway, we have to use up our annual leave.
“I can go, why?”
Yoon-ho will be discharged tomorrow. He said he would come to my room to say hello and leave. So, come early tomorrow and let’s see him together.
“Really? Well, I’ll go then.”
Eun-seo didn’t support Chris as much as Sun-ah, but she sincerely cheered for him. She remembered how much she cried when he was eliminated.
Tomorrow, she might be able to see Chris in person as well. Eun-seo ended the call with a slightly excited feeling.
On the way home, Eun-seo also rode in the car driven by Secretary Choi. As the treatment she wasn’t used to as a commoner made her uncomfortable, Eun-seo cautiously said.
“Um, from tomorrow, I’ll just take the bus to commute. You don’t have to do this; I know you’re busy.”
“It’s an order from the CEO.”
“I’ll tell the CEO that I’m fine.”
Secretary Choi sighed deeply and said.
“Do you know what ‘line’ means?”
“Yes? What do you mean by ‘line’?”
“It’s about who you’re in the same line with at the company.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it. In corporate life, who you’re in the same line with is very important.”
“That’s correct.”
The secretary, who looked a few years older than Eun-seo, suddenly put on a determined expression.
“I decided the moment I saw the note from the CEO’s office. Yoon Eun-seo, you should be in the same line as him.”
“You saw that?”
Eun-seo’s voice was almost a scream. The secretary raised the black-rimmed glasses and answered.
“Yes. It was more touching than most romance movies.”
Eun-seo turned all red. So that’s why he readily agreed when she asked him to turn it back!
Anyway, she had to correct the misunderstanding.
“Um… it’s a misunderstanding. It’s true that the CEO wrote it, but strictly speaking, it’s not written by the CEO… Well, it’s not that it’s not by the CEO, but…”
Even though she said it confusingly, Secretary Choi understood it perfectly.
“The CEO has amnesia.”
“Yes, that’s it!”
Eun-seo clapped her hands. If he had read the note, he would understand the situation.
“So, the one who liked me was the CEO at that time, not now.”
As she said it aloud, it became more bitter, but the response that came back was just one word.
“Pfft!”
Suddenly, Secretary Choi made a strange noise as if exhaling a gust of wind, surprising Eun-seo.
“Secretary?”
Secretary Choi quickly composed herself and calmly said, “I will serve you with all my loyalty. So, please cooperate so that I can continue to support, no, be in the same line as you, Miss Yoon Eun-seo.”
It seemed like they didn’t have the intention to listen to human speech, and Eun-seo wondered if the person being served and the secretary naturally resembled each other.
[Front door key. You can use this to access the private elevator.]Holding the key card handed by Secretary Choi, Eun-seo went up to the penthouse. She had come to work so early, thinking about what time she would leave, but surprisingly, the landlord had already returned.
“CEO?”
Surprised, Eun-seo asked the man in the kitchen, “Have you already finished work?”
Even though she had left work on time, it was very unexpected that he had come home earlier. According to Sun-ah, he usually didn’t leave work until at least past midnight.
“Wash your hands and sit down.”
There was a delicious smell, and it turned out to be braised short ribs. It was a menu that Seung-joo would deliberately make because Eun-seo liked it.
Considering the amount, it could easily serve more than six people, but surprisingly, the table setting this time was exactly for one person.
“Aren’t you going to eat, CEO?”
Taking off her apron and adjusting the rolled-up sleeves of her dress shirt, Kwon Seung-joo replied, “I have a separate dinner appointment.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
