“What is that?”

He asked, but the response that came back was not a clear answer.

“First, meet and discuss something concrete. I’ll tell you when things are more clear. In the meantime, focus on persuading the shareholders.”

After finishing her words, Kyung-hee smiled, lightly laughed, and entered the room.

Left alone in the living room, Jung-woong followed Kyung-hee, who disappeared into the bedroom, with his gaze.

‘Why is she like that?’

Curious about what corner of belief allows her to have such an endless and firm conviction, Jung-woong recalled the meetings he had had right after Jipil declared his candidacy for the next chairman.

Meeting with shareholders to convey Jipil’s words and discuss future plans was nothing special, but the conversation with Sang-heon and Ho-yeon was a bit strange.

[Chairman, Manager Han’s divorce is nothing to worry about. We just haven’t filed the paperwork; it’s as good as being separated.] [That’s true, but there are rumors that she’s close to the secretary, and…] [People might misunderstand because we stick together due to work. I know Jipil well, so you don’t have to worry about that part.]

It was only a matter of time before Jung-woong learned that the person who married Jae-oh was Chae-yoon and that Chae-yoon was his secretary.

Jung-woong didn’t know why Kyung-hee lied so easily, but now he seemed to understand.

‘She must have gained something by saying that.’

Feeling annoyed as he thought Kyung-hee might have received something more from Ho-yeon, Jung-woong’s eyes revealed his irritation.

In order to reject the motion for Jipil’s chairmanship, it was necessary to have the voting rights held by Sang-heon, but he shouldn’t have received anything more from Ho-yeon because of it.

Having completed his thoughts, Jung-woong stood up from his seat. Heading straight to the bedroom, he said as soon as he saw Kyung-hee.

“Don’t think about doing anything that would make you owe him.”

Kyung-hee, who was surprised by his sudden entrance and words, widened her eyes.

“What’s that…”

“Don’t think about getting something from Manager Kwon-ho-yeon.”

Seeing Jung-woong warn her with a piercing look, Kyung-hee’s lips let out an irritated breath.

What did Jae-oh say?

It wasn’t nice to see her nervous and jittery, especially because of her nephew.

Moreover, if he hadn’t watched her back, she wouldn’t have been able to come this far.

The sight of her openly complaining about something she wouldn’t have been able to achieve if he hadn’t supported her was not pleasant.

And the fact that she boldly lied with a fearless face didn’t look good either.

However, Kyung-hee, who was in no mood to care about his words, put down the cosmetics she was holding, irritatingly said, “Forget about my worries, just do your job well,” and left the room.

The back going to the detached house was filled with a strong sense of irritation.

As always, In-hye, who commuted to the executive office, tidied up her desk as usual.

Since Jae-oh and Chae-yoon had not arrived at work yet, she took a little time to understand today’s tasks with some leisure. As she did, Woo-jong approached and spoke to her.

“Secretary Jo, can you come and see me for a moment?”

Following Woo-jong who called her, In-hye entered the meeting room inside the executive office.
Since talking separately was not a good sign, In-hye sat in front of Woo-jong slightly tensed.

As expected, Woo-jong’s words were enough to surprise In-hye.

“Secretary Kim, suddenly telling me to go to the Chairman’s office, what does that mean?”

“If Manager Kwon is planning to bring one of the secretaries from the Chairman’s office with him.”

Fill in the resulting work gap, but…

“Even so, if you suddenly do this…”

The transfer was an unexpected situation.

If she had to hand over Jae-oh’s schedule to Ho-yeon while staying here, what would happen if she went to the Chairman’s office?

In-hye’s face turned pale at the unexpected situation.

What would Ho-yeon say when he heard this news? What if there were any disadvantages to her because of this?

In fear of what Ho-yeon might say or what disadvantages she might face, In-hye nervously chewed on her lower lip.

Looking at In-hye, who showed a restless reaction to my words, Woo-jong calmly moved his mouth.

“The announcement of the personnel appointment will be made this afternoon, but you can move to your new position right away.”

It was like roasting beans on a hot stone.

The voice saying that was so dry that In-hye’s mouth dried up.

“Secretary Jo.”

In-hye raised her eyes that had been lowered to look at Woo-jong.

“Did you hear me?”

Although she had to say something to remedy the situation, there was nothing particular to say.

It wasn’t an unfair dismissal, and Woo-jong was the one conveying the instructions from above.

Since the situation would not change unless she spoke directly to Jae-oh, In-hye had no choice but to answer.

“Yes. I understand.”
