She didn’t want to accept any kind of money that came from sincerity, even if it was money that rightfully came from it.
She had thrown everything away, even giving up alimony and consolation money, to separate her life from that family and child. She wanted to raise her child solely with her own strength.
She hadn’t touched a single share of the stock that Chairman Chae had given her out of thought for Seo Ha. She had accepted it because she couldn’t reject the chairman’s consideration, but after the chairman passed away, she intended to return it to Do Ha.
Lucas leaned in close to Hyun Seo, whispering as if it was a pity that she would miss such an opportunity.
“Director Lee, are you sure you won’t regret it? Why apply for the patent if you’re going to do this.”
Seeing Lucas close to Hyun Seo at that time, Do Ha’s brow moved without his knowledge.
The sight of another man close to Hyun Seo’s face. The sight was quite shocking to him.
He had never seen such a scene. Not even once since childhood.
Even if there were men who approached her, she brushed them off so decisively that he didn’t recall any man who was close to her.
“No, Representative Yoo. It wasn’t just about the money when I applied for the patent. I wanted to grant something special, and that was a bigger reason.”
As Hyun Seo whispered back to Lucas, Do Ha raised his eyebrows slightly.
Another irksome scene scratched at his nerves.
Hyun Seo speaks informally to Lucas Yoo?
At that point, it would mean that Hyun Seo also considers Lucas Yoo to be a particularly close friend. An oddly ominous feeling began to bubble up from below.
Trying to maintain his expression, Do Ha interjected between the two.
“It would be best if you think a little more and make a decision, as Representative Yoo suggested. Let’s talk about this again next time.”
“Sure, Director. Please think a bit more until we send you the contract.”
With the Research Director also intervening, Hyun Seo decided to stop this conversation for now. After all, it was a matter that could be resolved by simply stating ‘free of charge’ in the contract.
“Alright. I will do so.”
Then a few items were briefly passed around and the meeting was nearing its end. The Research Director began to wrap things up.
“Shall we end here for today? Executive Director, do you have anything else to say?”
All eyes were on Do Ha. Hyun Seo was also staring at him expressionlessly.
Do Ha met her gaze and thought.
It had been 3 years…
Having searched for her like a madman, he finally met her at this meeting, but it was now ending.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he looked at his wristwatch and said,
“It might be a bit early… but would you all like to have dinner together this evening? I would like to host since you’ve come all this way.”
That was the only way he could hold onto more time with her at that moment.
As the deal between the companies had been satisfactorily concluded, the atmosphere was positive for such an offer.
Fortunately, Lucas responded positively as well.
“Oh, I’m fine with that. Let’s go!”
The other employees also looked pleased. All but one.
As expected, Hyun Seo, who instantly looked worried, turned to Lucas and spoke in a small voice.
“I think I’ll be tired… I should probably go home early today.”
“Why? Could it be because of Do Hye…”
“Lucas!”
Hyun Seo, startled as the name of the child was about to come out of the oblivious Lucas’s mouth, quickly cut off his words.
“Ah, actually, now that I think about it, I think I can go. I’ll attend too.”
Hyun Seo, whose heart had sunk for a moment, glanced at Do Ha. As expected, he was staring intently at her.
“Really? That’s good. Let’s go in my car, Hyun Seo.”
“Okay.”
Do Ha, who had been keenly listening to their conversation, was wideeyed.
When the two of them conversed, they called each other by their names. Hyun Seo called Representative Yoo ‘Lucas’, and Representative Yoo called her ‘Hyun Seo’?
A series of anxieties overwhelmed him. To quell the unease he felt he couldn’t control, Do Ha drank the water in front of him.
In retrospect, it would have been more strange if the two weren’t close. It was only natural that the future director of Songhwagung Palace would not have an ordinary relationship with the owner of GLP in such a short period of time.
Accepting that fact, he felt an unending restlessness. He could only hope that the close friendship with that owner was not due to a relationship with that man.
Even on the way to the parking lot, Do Ha walked a few steps behind the two, never taking his eyes off them.
The sight of the two of them conversing in a soft, affectionate tone looked extremely natural.
Lucas opened the car door for her, Hyun Seo got in, and Do Ha couldn’t help but watch her until the door closed.
As the car pulled away, he thought he caught a glimpse of Hyun Seo through the passenger window.
Even though he knew it was pathetic to be looking at the receding car with a lonely gaze, he simply couldn’t take his eyes off it.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
