Of course, the person who viewed the data was the CEO, so she couldn’t accuse her of leaking information. However, the problem was that the CEO couldn’t attend right away to explain. If he revealed that he was eighteen years old, everything would be ruined.

Eunseo had promised herself. She would somehow safely return him to his place, no matter what. She was determined to stick to that resolution.

All she could do now was to remain silent.

“I have nothing to say.”

As she continued to resist, eventually, even the head of the security team came in.

“Ms. Yoon Eunseo, you seem to be taking this matter very lightly. What you leaked is our company’s core data. It’s related to the premium brand our company is risking its life for.”

I know. It’s core data, so Seungju needed to see it even more.

“This is not some ordinary workplace, and exercising the right to remain silent won’t end it. It won’t just end with termination. They’re planning to press criminal charges, you know?”

“…….”
“It’s better if we handle this among ourselves. If it goes to the main audit team, the problem will escalate. Anyway, if they do a forensic analysis of the phone, everything will come out. Honestly, if we talk about it now and try to resolve it, we might avoid going to court.”

Nevertheless, Eunseo remained silent. Of course, if it went to court, eventually, it would be revealed who had accessed the data. But going through a lawsuit would take time, providing Seungju with time to prepare until then.

Until then, whether her memory returned or she could convincingly imitate ‘Kwon Seungju.’

Anyway, it wasn’t now.

Even with the security team leader’s questioning, Eunseo kept her mouth shut. As it approached 10 PM, an unexpected person entered.

It was Kwon Seunghyun.

He looked at Eunseo with his hands in his pockets, as if finding it amusing.

“Looks innocent like a rabbit, but were you actually a nine-tailed fox?”

What day is it today? Another fox-like remark.

“I thought it might be a minor security violation, but I didn’t expect it to be a big deal like this.”

Eunseo chuckled. Somehow, she felt that this guy’s influence was behind why there hadn’t been any problems until now.

If she got caught, it would be even worse. Eunseo made an extra effort to pull herself together.

“Where did you leak it?”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Kwon Seunghyun came closer and sat on the table in front of Eunseo, looking down at her.

“Confide in me. I’ll do my best so that my senior won’t be in trouble.”

How sweet his coaxing voice was, as if he was sucking on candy.

“I leaked it because I personally have an interest in my senior. I don’t want to see him getting in trouble like this.”

Chills ran down her spine at the touch on her shoulder as he consoled her.

“I clearly told Mr. Kwon Seunghyun that I’m not interested in him personally. I have no interest in that direction even if I die a hundred times and am resurrected a hundred times.”

When she slapped his hand away, Seunghyun grinned.

“Do you intentionally act expensive to appear more attractive? You’re attractive enough as it is.”

What’s with this excessive self-esteem? Eunseo forgot her fatigue and looked serious.

“I really, sincerely have no interest in Mr. Kwon Seunghyun. I have no interest in that direction no matter how many times I die and am resurrected.”

She wished he would understand with every word, but he just grinned.

“I’ll be a team leader in a month, and then an executive after that. What if I do?”

Eunseo almost burst into laughter at what he said.

‘I’ve brought even our company’s CEO to his knees, you know?’

Suppressing the words that surged up to her throat, Eunseo picked up the water bottle in front of her and drank it down, gulping.

“Well, then, endure it to the end.”

Even after Kwon Seunghyun left, others continued to come in and question her.
As the night deepened, Eunseo couldn’t resist sleep. On the other side, they were turning newspapers, but she was alone. Struggling to stay awake with sheer mental strength, Eunseo suddenly saw someone appear on the other side of the office wall made of glass, and sleep completely fled.

It was Seungju.

He was wearing the suit Eunseo had bought for him, and his hair was perfectly groomed.

Confident strides, broad shoulders, tightly pressed lips.

Eunseo, who had barely endured with mental strength, found that Seungju, who suddenly appeared on the other side of the glass office wall, looked so perfect that her worries seemed insignificant.

‘He came to rescue me.’

Even as the intimidating male employees took turns threatening and questioning, why wasn’t Eunseo scared? She pretended to be calm, but in reality, she was so frightened that she trembled all the way to her knees.

Now that she confidently appeared, looking at Seungju, it felt like she could finally let go, and tears seemed ready to fall. Maybe Seuna had contacted him.

Anyway, now that the CEO, the person involved, had come to explain, the game was over. Eunseo gritted her teeth and held back tears. No, crying won’t solve anything, and I have to cry after it’s over.

Finally, Seungju passed through the corridor and stopped in front of the office where Eunseo was trapped.

“Is the CEO here!”

People who hadn’t seen the CEO for a long time hurriedly bowed.

Seungju precisely directed his question to the security team leader among several people.

“I heard there was an internal data leak. What happened?”

“It’s a female employee from the planning team. We’re investigating right now.”

When the audit team leader pointed at Eunseo behind the glass wall, Seungju glanced at her.

In that moment when their eyes met, Eunseo instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“……!”

Eyes looking down on people from a high place.

It was none other than the eyes of Kwon Seungju, the CEO of Daewon Construction.
