DaJeong was captivated by his slow movements.
The thought that she might have to escape crossed her mind when, suddenly, the elevator doors opened behind TaeSang.
Through the gap in the door, she saw Secretary Kim with a flustered expression. DaJeong, surprised, stepped back.
“Sorry, the elevator seems to have come down but no one is getting off……”
He glanced at TaeSang and DaJeong, seeming a bit flustered, then quickly turned his head. He had dealt with a similar situation before, so this time, he was quick to react.
“It’s alright.”
TaeSang spoke slowly, lowering his eyelids. When he opened his eyes again, the swirling red aura had disappeared.
He stepped aside to let DaJeong get off first.
Once they exited, a young man standing next to Secretary Kim bowed his head. He wasn’t sure, but he seemed to be the driver he had glimpsed in the car the day before.
“I’m sorry for surprising you earlier.”
Secretary Kim politely opened his mouth towards DaJeong. She didn’t know how to react when a man who looked much older than her bowed his head so deferentially.
“I’m even more sorry. You must have been surprised when I suddenly screamed.”
“Not at all. It’s natural to be surprised when you see a stranger as soon as you open your eyes.”
Secretary Kim responded in a gentle tone. As soon as his words ended, TaeSang stood between them, separating the two.
“Mr. Han, I’m going to take my car today, so please take care of her.”
“What?”
The same response came from both Secretary Kim and DaJeong’s mouths. Only Mr. Han, unaware of the situation, merely rolled his eyes.
Secretary Kim pushed up his glasses and opened his mouth, looking uncomfortable.
“Deputy Director, I’ll call a taxi for Ms. DaJeong. Please go ahead without worrying.”
“Yes. I can take care of myself.”
DaJeong added, sending an urgent look.
Even Mr. Han, who had been standing dumbfounded on the side, joined in, nodding his head as if in agreement, and the three seemed to persuade TaeSang together.
Ignoring the two’s gaze, TaeSang turned towards DaJeong.
“Don’t run off again.”
“……”
“This time, you’re going home.”
He spoke, staring at her with a rather stern look. It seemed like he wouldn’t move until he heard her reply.
DaJeong looked at him with a dazed face before slowly opening her mouth.
“I won’t run off. I’m going home.”
TaeSang nodded coolly and turned away lightly. His indifferent act without any farewell was confusing. DaJeong urgently stopped him.
“Sir, Deputy Director. Goodbye. Please drive…carefully.”
For a moment, a faint smile appeared on Tae Sang’s face. But something felt awkward and he soon furrowed his eyebrows and lowered the corners of his mouth.
After a moment, Tae Sang opened his mouth in a stiff voice.
“…Ms. Da Jeong, please go home carefully.”
It was as if he had never said such a thing before. His attitude was incredibly awkward.
Tae Sang winked at Secretary Kim and then hurriedly left his seat. Secretary Kim bowed his head briefly and followed him like a shadow.
Only the driver and Da Jeong were left.
Da Jeong stared blankly in the direction where Tae Sang disappeared, confidently that with his stubbornness, he could surpass his grandfather.
Inside the conference room of Air Korea’s headquarters, ahead of the executive meeting.
Everyone was surreptitiously glancing at Chairman Cha’s face. Tae Sang, the leading person in this meeting, had not shown up even ten minutes after the start of the meeting.
Whether to express anger or hesitate in front of the company executives. The meeting room was full of curious expressions.
Among them, only one person, Myeong Ok, had a different look on her face. She seemed to be enjoying watching the constantly moving second hand of the clock.
Tae Sang, who had never known tardiness in his life, had caused an accident right on time.
It would be even better if he didn’t show up at all. She secretly hoped for that when the heavy door of the meeting room silently opened.
“I’m sorry. I’m late.”
Tae Sang, who had entered and closed the door, bowed politely to everyone while standing straight.
It was a formal apology for the group’s top power player. No one dared to step forward and criticize, only gradually looking at Chairman Cha’s reaction when Myeong Ok opened her mouth in a clear voice.
“You said you had a lot of work these days, it seems to be true. You’re even late, which you never used to be.”
“Work at the company is not related.”
“Related or not. Is there anyone here who doesn’t know that Vice Chairman Cha Tae Sang practically lives at the company? Isn’t that right?”
As Myeong Ok gave a hint with a gentle smile, those who followed her laughed and each added a word.
“We know you are exceptionally talented, but it seems we have been too harsh on you. We probably need to lessen your workload this time…”
