Yeon-woo, instead of responding, just tightly closed her mouth.
“And who else in the world cares for an employee’s mother like your boss?”
Every year on Yeon-woo’s birthday, Tae-han not only remembered her gift but also Sun-ok’s.
Last year, he gave them a voucher for a luxury hotel stay, and this year, a meal voucher for a hard-to-book traditional Korean restaurant. He never forgot to send it directly to their Cheonan home address.
Despite her hinting that using an employee’s personal information like this could be problematic, Sun-ok was too happy each year for the matter to be seriously addressed.
“…I’m full. I can’t eat two bowls.”
Yeon-woo put down her spoon.
Afraid that Sun-ok might bring up Tae-han again, she quickly got up.
“Mom, I’m going to take a nap.”
“Right after eating? At least digest a bit.”
“I’m going to live like a cow until Sunday.”
Yeon-woo took a packet of snacks from the basket and went to her room.
She just wanted to blissfully graze like a cow.
The thought of Tae-han made her heart churn with turmoil.
Monday, after spending her vacation like a cow.
Today was five days since Tae-han left on a business trip and the day before his return.
Yeon-woo, who arrived early at the office, headed straight inside after setting down her bag.
“Good morning, Director.”
Director Ko, who was yawning heavily, wiped his dry face. His expression seemed to say, ‘You’re here again?’
“Has my resignation been approved?”
“No, not yet.”
Since she had already expressed her intention to resign to Director Ko, she was concerned about the delay in approval.
“But, Deputy Seo.”
“Yes, Director.”
Director Ko looked at Yeon-woo with a mysterious expression, then narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Was there some issue with the president?”
Yeon-woo momentarily froze, unable to speak.
Although only the two of them knew about the incident with Tae-han, she was anxious that he might know something.
“An issue? There couldn’t have been.”
“Really?”
She smiled faintly, as if to affirm that there was no such thing.
In the secretariat, where she had worked for a long time and grown, Yeon-woo had developed the ability to manage her expressions regardless of her mood.
“Of course.”
Fortunately, Director Ko, who knew Tae-han’s steadfast character better than anyone, nodded his head, putting away his suspicious expression, believing that Yeon-woo, a mere deputy, couldn’t possibly be involved with him.
“Then wait a bit longer. The president will be back tomorrow, so I’ll speak to him again.”
“Yes.”
“But where do you plan to go after leaving here?”
Yeon-woo smiled slightly.
“I’ll find a place.”
“That’s strange. It’s not like you, Deputy Seo.”
Director Ko, who had watched Yeon-woo for a long time, found her decision incomprehensible.
She was known for being meticulous and careful, and it was unlike her to impulsively resign without planning her future.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
He looked at her again, as if to ask one more time.
Yeon-woo had to carefully choose her breaths until the surging regret subsided.
“Yes. I’ll be okay.”
Yeon-woo had no choice but to act nonchalant, as her decision had been predetermined.
She couldn’t give up her child, so it was right to give up being by Tae-han’s side.
During lunchtime, Yeon-woo, who came down to the company cafeteria with a tray, looked around.
“Deputy Seo!”
She quickly approached upon spotting a hand waving to her from not too far away.
“Sorry for being late. You started without me, right?”
“The line was long today, so we just sat down a short while ago.”
Yeon-woo, who had been delayed by about ten minutes due to urgent work just before the break, joined her colleagues in the secretariat who were gathered around, seemingly excited about a topic, noisier than usual.
“But Deputy Seo, don’t be surprised. Manager Yun Ji-hyun just shared some shocking news.”
“Shocking news?”
Being in the secretariat, sensitive to company atmosphere and rumors, Yeon-woo became internally anxious.
It was likely about Tae-han.
“We were talking about the president while waiting for you.”
Indeed, it was about Tae-han.
“Manager Yun was saying, guess what, she saw our president and Executive Min-hee Sung together. And in a hotel!”
As the conversation ended, the employees around started discussing the matter excitedly.
“There’s no smoke without fire.”
“Right. I thought it was strange to let it go at that time, but now it’s out in the open.”
Executive Min-hee Sung.
She was the executive director of Osan Mulsan and the second daughter of the group. A few years ago, she suddenly made headlines with rumors of marriage to Tae-han.
With her actress-like beauty, she was known as an ‘entrepainer’ (entrepreneur + entertainer) on the internet.
“Honestly, there’s no better wife material for our president than Min-hee Sung.”
The employees started discussing past scandals involving the two, who were of the same age and had grown up closely due to frequent visits between their families.
They were rumored to have developed from friends to lovers during their time studying abroad at the same overseas university, which was well-known through news articles nationwide.
However, Yeon-woo felt uncomfortable. She had been troubled by the scandal when it first surfaced, and the same topic resurfacing was irksome.
“But honestly, for our president’s wife, there’s no one better than Min-hee Sung, right?”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
