While Seo Woo was flailing her arms and falling backward as if spinning a whirligig in midair, Ye Ri’s voice faintly reached her.
“Ack, Seo Woo! Eun Seo Woo!”
Thud!
It was only natural to slip and fall on the floor that had somehow become wet.
Stunned by the impact, Seo Woo blinked her eyes.
…Did I just fall? Did I trip?
Just happened to be talking about the CEO, something she had never done before in the company, just happened to have the CEO hear it himself, just happened to have water leaking from the refrigerator making the floor slippery, just happened to fall there, just happened to… At this moment of major embarrassment, the CEO was standing close by.
All of these ‘just happened to’s led to this moment. A moment so sorrowful it could bring tears.
The afternoon sun of a winter day shattered behind his head. The look he dropped on her was that of viewing an obstacle blocking his way.
Though a person had just performed a solo slide show right before his eyes, he didn’t seem to have any dilemma whether to catch her or not, he didn’t even flinch in surprise. Perhaps it was only natural that there was no question of concern.
Seo Woo felt chills as if her body had completely frozen, her back adhering to the damp floor.
He moved his steps without a word. Only after his footsteps had faded far away, did Seo Woo cover her face and let out an inward scream, “Euaaaak!”
“Ar, are you okay?”
Approaching Ye Ri supported Seo Woo, helping her up, asking with a trembling voice. Seo Woo was already half out of her mind.
Na Young, who had been running towards the scream from afar, bumped into the CEO midway and froze, squealing in surprise and greeting him. Her face expressed that she hadn’t dreamt the CEO was inside.
“Welcome, no, I mean, good, goodbye……”
As the CEO passed by without any reaction, Na Young ran back this way again.
“Senior. Are you okay?!”
Seo Woo, almost collapsing into Ye Ri’s arms, was a spectacle. Her face, stained with black liquid from the coffee fountain earlier, her blouse and skirt wet from falling over the water on the floor, and on top of that, her face as if she were out of her mind, was a complete mess.
“I’m sorry. I really didn’t know that the CEO was inside.”
Ye Ri, who initially started the conversation, apologized in a disheartened voice as if she were the sinner.
“I, I didn’t know the CEO was inside either. I didn’t hear anything when changing shifts. When did he come in? Ah, I’m sorry. Really.”
Na Young hung her head as if she were responsible for not informing me in advance about the problem with the boss’s arrival, whatever it was.
Although she didn’t need to apologize because she had already informed everyone about the slippery floor, the atmosphere was far from normal. I wondered if our senior had been caught badmouthing the boss.
“In this mess, and that too lying in front of the boss, oh… I’m really… sorry, Seo Woo.”
“I’m even more sorry. I should have been more aware of the entrance situation… I’m really sorry…”
“Stop.”
Seo Woo, who had been staring at Ye Ri and Na Young as they hurriedly apologized to me, opened her mouth.
“Can both of you please stop apologizing?”
A shade of sadness had replaced the embarrassment in her eyes.
“It makes me feel even more miserable.”
Just leave. I want to be alone.
The saddest part was that, even after all this chaos, she had to attend a ‘dinner with the boss’ in a while.
Sitting face to face with the boss like this… a meal.
Seo Woo covered her face with both hands.
If a devil were to come and ask for one wish, she would want to log out.

Someone approached her desk and quietly asked Seo Woo.
“Eun Seo Woo? Today, right? Don’t forget to bring a digestive aid. I barely ate a few bites and I had a hard time until the next day because I felt sick. I was sweating cold the whole time, it was the toughest time of my life.”
The one who spoke was the design team 2 manager, Yoon. The occasion that was tough enough to make her, known to beat any opponent with rhetoric and vigor, feel uncomfortable, was none other than the ‘dinner with the boss’.
The very occasion that had become a great burden to Seo Woo due to the incident in the lounge just a while ago.
A month ago, at the end of the year, there was a gratitude event for all employees in the company.
Despite a general downturn in the food and beverage industry due to a surge in raw material prices last year, TH Foods was an exception and achieved remarkable results.
The ambitious launch of a Korean food product brand was a hit overseas, recording unprecedented high sales. Net profit also reached a record high, creating a festive atmosphere, and a dividend party actually took place.
It was a feat achieved two years after Tae Min Hyuk took office as CEO.
The employees were already happy enough with the hefty yearend bonus, but the generous company didn’t seem to be stopping there. They prepared a yearend event to appreciate and encourage the employees’ hard work, and even provided various prizes.
