The conversation was naturally led by Lucas. Even while making unremarkable small talk, he observed the atmosphere between Hyun Seo and Do Ha.
Lucas Yoo was quite different from Chae Do Ha.
If Chae Do Ha was the type to be uncomfortable and cold towards men close to Hyun Seo, and to ignore them, Lucas Yoo was the type who preferred to keep his enemies close.
Today there were only three of them, so it would be a good exploration.
Executive Chae mostly conversed with Lucas, and Hyun Seo also primarily talked with Lucas.
While Executive Chae was talking more with Lucas, his gaze was still mostly on Hyun Seo’s face, no different from last time.
No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
Why was Hyun Seo so quiet? She was never this quiet in front of guests.
Then, while sharing trivial everyday stories, Do Ha’s gaze suddenly shifted to Lucas. He asked with an expression that suggested something had just occurred to him.
“By the way, how is your child doing?”
“Pardon?”
Both Lucas and Hyun Seo simultaneously made puzzled faces at the unexpected question.
“Your son, Mr. Yoo. The cute child who was flying the airplane last time.”
Hyun Seo’s hand holding the chopsticks paused. She almost fainted at the unbelievable words that Do Ha had just uttered.
“Ah… haha.”
Lucas laughed emptily.
That’s right, the child had been calling him ‘Dad’ back then.
It seemed that Chae Do Ha had made a huge misunderstanding.
Lucas quickly glanced at Hyun Seo to check her complexion. As expected, she was looking at him with a shocked expression.
“Yes, he’s doing very well.”
“I see. The child was so cute that I sometimes think of him.”
Hyun Seo couldn’t bear to look at the serene smile on Do Ha’s face as he said this, and she dropped her gaze.
How could she be calm in a situation where the child’s biological father was calling their child cute?
She had no idea that her exhusband had seen Do Hyeon back then.
Her exhusband seemed to be under the impression that Do Hyeon was Lucas’s child, and she couldn’t decide whether this situation was fortunate or not.
“By the way, the child didn’t resemble you, Mr. Yoo. Does he take after his mother more?”
Lucas glanced at Hyun Seo before answering.
“Well… I don’t know, I don’t think he looks much like his mother either.”
Hyun Seo’s hand shook, and she had to put down her chopsticks.
Do Ha was watching Lucas’s actions closely.
Why did he look at Hyun Seo when talking about the child’s mother?
He felt a strong urge to ask what the relationship between the two of them was, but he couldn’t voice it as it could be considered rude if they were not a couple.
It wasn’t necessarily always beneficial for a couple to work together, so they might not want to actively reveal it.
Eventually, he would naturally find out if they kept butting heads.
The child didn’t resemble Hyun Seo either, which made it even harder to guess.
The child didn’t resemble Hyun Seo, but there was something strangely familiar about him, and he couldn’t figure out why.
Lucas, for his part, was also keeping an eye on Hyun Seo. Usually, she disliked Do Hyeon calling him ‘Dad,’ but for some reason, she wasn’t correcting this misunderstanding now.
Even though she seemed very upset.
Since Hyun Seo was acting that way, Lucas didn’t bother to correct the misunderstanding either.
Then, for the first time in a while, she spoke to Executive Chae Do Ha.
“By the way, do you like our food?”
“Yes, it’s excellent.”
The topic naturally shifted to the food.
In the inexplicably tense atmosphere, Lucas watched as the two exchanged glances, puzzled.
Hyun Seo, having parted from the two men in front of the restaurant, walked alone towards the principal’s office.
She barely noticed whether she was eating or simply going through the motions.
The peak moment was when Do Ha mentioned Do Hyeon.
“Sigh…”
Why did things have to turn out like this?
She thought if she hadn’t heard from him for more than three years, they could both go on living their separate lives.
But to run into each other and clash like this…
It was the start of a new week. From Monday morning, Hyun Seo received a phone call.
It was from the director of the SH Cosmetics research institute, with whom she had exchanged business cards the last time. Now, just seeing someone related to that company made her sigh.
“Yes, Director. Hello.”
Hello, Principal.
But as it was business, Hyun Seo responded politely, as always.
I have a query about the raw materials, so I contacted you. I thought you, being the inventor, would know a lot about this.
“Yes. Regarding the raw materials, I can help with anything you need.”
We have a sample we would like to show you. Could we meet to discuss it?
“Yes, let’s arrange a time.”
Thank you, Principal!
“You’re welcome, feel free to ask anything.”
Even though the call ended after a few more exchanges, she felt as if she had handled a big issue.
Even though it was just work, she felt like she was getting too involved with this company.
Was it just her feeling?
SH… Why did it have to be Do Ha’s company…
Why did it have to be Do Ha again?
She never imagined that it would be so hard to completely erase Do Ha from her life.
Indeed, it was an enduring connection.
From childhood until now, it had been almost 20 years.
