“Oh, it’s okay. The work won’t be difficult. You can think of it as a personal assistant. I’ll be your direct boss, but you’ll be doing what Executive Tae Kang Hyun orders.”
“General secretarial duties?”
“It won’t be typical. You’ll have to commute to a house, not an office, and you’ll be dealing with more personal matters than official ones. For example.”
“For example?”
“Like a conversation partner.”
Do Seok Won spoke of a seemingly playful job description with a very serious face.
What the hell is this nonsense?
She didn’t say it out loud, but Ji An’s peculiar expression made her thoughts clear.
But she couldn’t say she didn’t know what the job entailed, could she?
Even after hearing the report that they seemed to have found Seo Yoon’s twins, Kang Hyun’s complexion was no different than usual.
Even after hearing that he would be hired as a secretary, he remained silent. Even after four years, Kang Hyun was as lifeless as a dead person.
“Am I being deceived right now?”
“No. Here’s my business card, this is the employee ID.”
Chief Secretary, Do Seok Won.
Upon verifying the logo of Seo Won, Ji An, who finally put away her suspicious gaze, meticulously examined the contract.
There were no noticeably different or strange parts compared to what she had studied in advance.
“When can you start working?”
“As soon as I wrap up my parttime job. Two weeks should be enough. Ah, and about Director Taekang Hyun.”
Again.
As she spat out the unfamiliar name, she felt nauseous. Even the inside of her perfectly healthy mouth felt parched.
“Yes.”
“I heard about the accident, and I wonder if you mean…”
“Ah, he’s physically all better. There’s no significant mental issues either.”
She didn’t want to label his emotional deficiency as a mental illness.
“However.”
Seok Won, looking at Ji An who was waiting for what he was about to say with wide eyes, smiled wryly.
“He’s still in great pain because he lost a very precious person.”
A precious person, could it be his father who had died from shock?
“Are there any other precautions?”
“Please refrain from using perfume when you enter the director’s bedroom.”
Ji An’s eyebrows twitched up and down.
Selective mutism and perfume.
Although the conditions required were not typical, considering the salary she could not receive anywhere else, they fell into the easy category.
“Then I’ll be going. Please contact me after sorting out your parttime job.”
Seok Won, who had finished his business and stood up, pondered whether to pat the back of Yeon Ju, who was just coming out of the restroom, but in the end, he clenched his hand and left the cafe.
For Seo Yoon, and for Ji An. He knew it might be a terrible thing to do, but he wanted to save the living.
She had a hard time deciding what to wear for a long time.
It didn’t seem necessary to dress formally since it wasn’t a company, but it was her first day at work.
That too, at a place that paid an enormous salary.
After much contemplation, Ji An chose a light pink casual suit.
It was the outfit she wore when she went to an interview at a laidback startup company.
“Daughter! Do you want me to drop you off? It’s your first time going to that neighborhood.”
“No, I’m not a kindergartner. I can find my way. Dad, you should go to work too.”
As Ji An came out of the room, Do Cheol, as if he had been waiting, got up from the sofa.
“But it’s your first day at work.”
“I told you, you’re being overly concerned. Just let me go on my own.”
Jeong Hye, who had finished washing dishes, appeared and reprimanded her husband, but a hint of anxiety was still visible in her eyes.
It was an excessive worry for her daughter, who would be turning thirty the day after tomorrow, just like when she started her parttime job.
Her only daughter had barely escaped death and returned from the brink, so it was inevitable.
The trauma was so severe that she would sneak into her room at dawn and hold a finger under her nose to check for breathing.
“I’m off!”
Jian left the house with more spirit than ever.
After barely managing to get on the packed subway, she regretted declining her father’s offer quite a bit.
“Do I have a good sense of direction? I find things really well.”
Despite the complicated route guided by the app, her swift legs took her to her destination in no time.
Jian, who had barely passed through the towering apartment complex’s main gate, finally passed through the main entrance.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Seo Jian, starting from today I’ll be working as an executive assistant.”
“I’m just someone who’s looking at work too. There’s no need to be so formal.”
A middleaged woman who stepped back seeing Jian bend over like a new employee with rigid discipline waved her off as soon as the door opened.
“Since the secretary is here, I should go home now.”
“Huh? Already?”
“I usually only work for a short time in the morning. I stayed longer today because I had to open the door. The executive’s room is at the end of the corridor. Here’s the card key, the password is 0612. From now on, open it and go in.”
“Can you tell me even though we just met…”
“The chairman Do told me to do so.”
The smiling assistant grabbed her bag and left, leaving Jian alone, blinking her eyes in bewilderment.
What on earth is this place?
“If he doesn’t come out by 11, go into his room and wake him up. Exercise for 2 hours, company work for 2 hours. There are only two things on the schedule.”
Nobody told her what to do. She was in a situation where she got a job, but she didn’t even receive a handover, let alone work to do.
She looked around the house of a reasonable size, trying not to make a sound, while contemplating what Seokwon had told her in their last call.
Despite the warmth given by the light tones matched with cream, overall it felt empty and cold.
Tap, tap. Jian, following the ticking of the clock echoing in the quiet space, stared blankly at a clock that seemed to contain the sea, with blue waves lapping.
“Ugh. Is it hypnosis or what?”
Jian, who had lost her mind watching the needle move in a regular beat, suddenly came to her senses.
Feeling a strange tingling sensation, she rubbed her neck and headed to the kitchen unable to bear her thirst.
She admired the deliciouslooking food laid out on the island table while crossing the dining room.
Through the transparent plastic cover, she could see galbijjim, japchae, seaweed soup, along with a few simple side dishes.
It looked exactly like a birthday spread.
Until the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that, when she saw the same breakfast menu every day.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
