Eunseo responded without looking at him. Seunghyun, with a belatedly wrinkled forehead, seemed dissatisfied with Eunseo’s appearance. Perhaps he didn’t like her attire, but the heir to a conglomerate expressed an unexpected expression.

“But before dinner, we should go buy clothes first.”

“Thank you.”

Seunghyun looked surprised at her obedient response.

“Oh, I thought you would insist on preserving your dignity.”

“Why wouldn’t I accept what’s offered?”

Since she always ate luxurious food, it seemed like she had a soft spot for women like kimchi stew. She would nag, tear it apart, and tear it apart. By doing so, she would quickly get tired of it, too.

Not only that, but maybe someday, it would be useful.

With a glimmer of hope, Eunseo tried to focus on her work.

Strangely, Seunghyun, who usually didn’t care about Eunseo, was staring at the monitor with a quite serious expression. When she glanced at what he was doing, it was a premium brand proposal.
Before the company faced bankruptcy, Daewon Construction, revived through Kwon Seungjoo’s bold management strategy, was about to embark on solidifying its luxurious image by introducing the premium apartment brand ‘First One’ next year. Naturally, as a core strategy, it was kept highly confidential, and among the internal documents that caused a stir when leaked by Eunseo, the most crucial one was this proposal.

Certainly, Eunseo had seen the data displayed on Seunghyun’s monitor several times, but the name was different. Originally ‘First One,’ it had been changed to ‘First Class.’

“Isn’t that the First One proposal? Why is the name different?”

When Eunseo suddenly asked, Seunghyun smiled and responded.

“Are you starting to take an interest in me already?”

Not wanting to ask any more questions, Eunseo turned her head.

“Never mind.”

Eunseo silently hoped for lunchtime to arrive quickly. Please, if only during lunchtime, she could get away from that person a bit.

However, an unsparing time passed slowly. Just a little past 10 in the morning, a surprised voice was heard somewhere.

“CEO?”

Startled, she lifted her head to see Seungjoo entering the office. She was wearing a suit, with a perfectly tied necktie, presenting a flawless appearance.
During the last security-related turmoil, greetings were exchanged with the middle-ranking officers, but revealing oneself in front of ordinary employees was the first time since taking sick leave.

“Hello!”

“CEO, have you come?”

Greetings were flying from all directions, but the response was just a light nod of the head, consistent with Kwon Seungjoo’s attitude.

‘Could it be that his memory has really returned?’

She wondered for a moment, but Eunseo quickly shook her head. If his memory had truly returned, he wouldn’t have unnecessarily appeared in the planning team’s office.

“Thank you for your hard work. Don’t worry and keep working.”

As expected, Seungjoo briefly greeted the people and quickly left the office.

She thought he might have returned to the company, but it was only the beginning of the second week of December. Since the goal was to return before the end of the year, she had planned to drag out the time until the end of December to study as much as possible.

‘Why on earth did he come?’

While thinking about it, a messenger message came from the CEO’s secretary.

Miss Yoon Eunseo, the CEO is looking for you.

So, just before lunchtime, Eunseo went up to the CEO’s office.

Entering the CEO’s office was the first time since that day when she went to plead with ‘Kwon Seungjoo’ to postpone the demolition for just one more year.

As soon as she entered the office, her shoulders instinctively tensed. The sparkling crystal nameplate, the high ceiling, the cityscape seen below through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and the large chair that looked like a throne—everything was exactly the same as that day.

“Nuna!”

The only thing different was the man who greeted her with a smile.

Seeing Seungjoo rushing towards her from his seat, Eunseo sighed. You’re definitely him.

“Why did you suddenly come to the company?”

He stood up from his seat and ran towards her, holding a lunchbox.

“Nuna, you skipped breakfast and came to work. I was worried.”

When he opened the lunchbox, neatly arranged kimbaps appeared. Relief washed over her. What danger had he faced to come here!

“You came all the way here just to bring this?”

“You looked so tired lately, Nuna. I thought you’d feel better if you ate. When I asked Suna Nuna, she said you looked tired even without that and that you’d probably appreciate it if someone gave you a lunchbox.”

Well, Suna doesn’t know about Kwon Seunghyun’s work!

“Go ahead and eat. The CEO called you, so it’s okay to leave your seat.”

Seungjoo personally split the chopsticks and handed them to her. Feeling suffocated, Eunseo looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly, from outside, the surprised voices of secretaries were heard.

“Just a moment!”

“You can’t just barge in like that!”

Following that, the door opened, and Seunghyun entered abruptly.

“What’s the matter with you in my office?”

Seungjoo immediately wore the mask of ‘Kwon Seungjoo’ and looked at his younger brother.

“I want to introduce someone to my brother.”

“I don’t know who it is, but let’s talk about it later.”
“No, it won’t take long. Since you came to the company like Hyung for once, I thought I’d introduce her.”

“Who is it?”

Seunghyun gestured towards Eunseo.

“Come here.”

Setting down the chopsticks and getting up, Eunseo looked at Seungjoo as if wondering what he was up to.

As Seunghyun approached, he gently embraced Eunseo’s shoulders.

“My girlfriend, Hyung.”
