The truth was that Eunseo had not made up her mind because she lacked confidence in her feelings. Could she forget the eighteen-year-old Seungju and fall in love with the thirty-three-year-old version? As they discovered that the two were the same person, her dilemma was gradually fading. However, she still hadn’t verbally responded to him.

But Yeonhwa assumed that Eunseo hesitated due to the societal gap between them.

“I feel like a sinner to Seungju for a lifetime. So, no matter what happens, I’ll stand by Seungju’s side. If, by any chance, our chairman opposes it, I’ll take care of everything, so don’t worry, Eunseo.”

“…”

“Still, it must be challenging. No matter how difficult it is, I won’t leave Seungju’s side. Can you promise that?”
Yeonhwa even took off the ring she was wearing and tried to put it on Eunseo willingly. However, feeling uncomfortable, Eunseo shook her head.

“Thank you for the kind offer, but I’ll just accept your good intentions.”

“Eunseo, please look at our Seungju in a favorable light. He lost his mother at a young age and is a pitiable child, right?”

A similar statement had been made by Mr. Kim, who had taken care of Seungju since he was young.

But back then, if there had been genuine concern for him, it now felt like there was a different intention. Eunseo felt that way even though she didn’t know what it was.

In the end, Eunseo refused to accept the ring, and the chairman’s wife rose with a disappointed expression.

“I’m worried that Seungju might have aftereffects from the traffic accident. I brought a physiotherapy device and medical examination equipment, so I’ll take them today. If that brat finds out that I made you uncomfortable, he’ll be very upset with me.”

Yeonhwa picked up the bag she had brought.

“So, Eunseo, don’t mention that you met me to Seungju.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Even as she left, Yeonhwa seemed reluctant to part with Eunseo. Despite Eunseo saying it was okay, she even gave her contact information and urged her.

“We’ll see each other again soon, okay? If you have any difficulties, be sure to contact me.”

Yeonhwa’s steps leaving Seungju’s house seemed like a dance.

She had dropped by under the pretext of delivering the medical equipment, but to think that she would make such a big fuss!

“A regular employee? A tenant? Plus, no parents?”

It was unbelievable. Of course, he wouldn’t seriously consider meeting that woman, Kwon Seungju. But if the chairman of Taesung Group found out that his son was cohabiting with a female employee from his company, he would probably send his beloved daughter off in marriage.

Although Eunseo, the girl in question, had waved off such thoughts, Yeonhwa felt a strong desire to bring Eunseo into their family. She wanted to take care of her like a well-raised daughter.

At least the person involved needed to know this fact.

“Secretary Kim.”

Before getting into the car that the secretary opened, Yeonhwa asked anxiously.

“The daughter of Woo, the chairman of Taesung Group. Can you find out her contact information?”

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll find out right away.”

On Monday, Seungju was deeply engrossed in work again, just like yesterday.

Christmas was coming soon. If he wanted to spend the whole day with Eunseo, he needed to concentrate on work starting now. He filled the lunch break with sandwiches and focused on work. However, the secretary informed him over the phone.

Sir, Manager Woo Yejin from Taesung Apparel wants to meet you.

“I said I wouldn’t meet her, didn’t I?”

Seungju furrowed his brow. She wasn’t very persistent because she wasn’t attractive. If he hadn’t directly answered her phone call, she would have contacted the company.
She’s here in the lobby right now. I received a call at the reception.

Although Seungju wanted to send her back, he couldn’t reject the youngest daughter of Chairman Woo of Taesung Group, who was the apple of his eye. Seungju changed his mind, thinking it might be better to meet her face-to-face and talk properly.

“Tell her to come up.”

During lunchtime, after finishing the meal, Eunseo entered the elevator. A woman who had ridden the elevator with her from the first floor suddenly showed a surprised expression upon seeing Eunseo’s face.

Wondering why she was acting like that, Eunseo arrived at the floor where her office was located and was about to get off when the woman followed her and spoke.

“Hey, can I see you for a moment?”

“Yes?”

Eunseo faced the woman, not understanding a word. The woman, wearing a tweed suit mixed with black and white, had a visitor pass instead of an employee ID hanging around her neck. That meant she was an external visitor, but she didn’t seem like a company employee. Her numerous long hairs were flowing elegantly, giving an impression of both glamour and grace.

“Are you talking about me?”

Instead of answering, the woman looked at Eunseo’s employee ID and said, “Oh, your name is Yoon Eunseo.”

“Sorry, but who are you?”

However, the woman didn’t respond and continued to nod her head while muttering something to herself.

“Uh, you were a company employee. No wonder you didn’t look like a bar girl at all.”

Now that she seemed to understand, her expression changed, but Eunseo had no idea what was going on and felt uncomfortable. Although the woman appeared to be of a similar age, there was a subtly judgmental attitude that she couldn’t stand.

“I don’t know who you are, but isn’t it impolite to suddenly grab someone like this?”

“Oh, sorry. I’m Woo Yejin.”

Her way of speaking was even more bewildering. It seemed like everyone should recognize her just by her name. Eunseo didn’t hide her resentment.

“Who are you?”

Eventually, the woman took out a business card from her handbag and handed it over. It read ‘Manager Woo Yejin of Taesung Apparel,’ and Eunseo was taken aback. Despite looking like she was in her late twenties at most, she claimed to be a manager?

“I’m Chairman Woo of Taesung Group’s daughter. And I’m the one who will marry Kwon Seungju, the CEO.”
