Chapter 48

 

Before Secretary Kwon could answer that he understood, Jaejun added one more thing.

 

“Also buy something necessary for Secretary Kwon’s parents.”

 

“They were actually saying they needed to replace their kimchi refrigerator.”

 

“Get them the latest model.”

 

Secretary Kwon smiled and whispered “Oh yeah” while clenching his fist.

 

“Then I’ll quickly go out for Hong Yoomin’s moving project.”

 

Jaejun, who had been watching Secretary Kwon’s back as he left the office, called out to stop him.

 

“Wait a minute. Kim Byeongtae from Woomuhn Partners. Find out his weaknesses.”

 

He had clearly followed Kim Byeongtae to the piano academy, given him his business card on the spot, and warned him.

 

But seeing that he went to find Yoomin again and tried to take advantage of her, he needed to be crushed beyond recovery.

 

That way he would never dare to covet Yoomin again.

 

How dare he touch my precious Hong Yoomin.

 

Recalling the scene where he was tormenting Yoomin inside that locked room made his chest burn with rage.

 

“It would probably be faster to target the LPs rather than digging into company slush funds or corruption.”

 

“Yes. I’ll secure the LP list first and then report back.”

 

After Secretary Kwon left, Jaejun stood up and walked toward the window.

 

His eyes looking at the tall buildings lined up in rows were now filled with cold, calculating sharpness.

 

He should deal with Kim Byeongtae first, then handle Hong Yoomin’s family.

 

It seemed safer to monitor Yoomin’s family as well.

 

He needed to track their movements in advance so he could stop them before they could reach out to Yoomin.

 

Jaejun called Secretary Kwon again and instructed him to monitor Yoomin’s family.

 

Suddenly curious about Yoomin, he picked up his phone and saw a text from her.

 

He had saved her as “Oppa” but she stubbornly kept calling him “Senior.”

 

He was about to send a reply with an unconscious bitter smile when it happened.

 

A call came from his father’s chief secretary.

 

He immediately wiped away his smile and pressed the call button.

 

* * *

 

Yoomin, who had been dozing on the sofa, woke up when her head suddenly tilted forward.

 

She must have fallen asleep without realizing it while waiting for Jaejun’s reply.

 

Her body seemed very tired, what with being recently confined by Yun Bosal and all.

 

“Whenever I get a chance… I’m sleeping.”

 

She turned on her phone again to check if there was any contact from Jaejun.

 

Still no reply had come.

 

“Is he very busy…?”

 

She muttered weakly and got up from the sofa.

 

She walked to the window and looked outside.

 

She quietly watched the people and cars that looked as small as fingernails passing by below.

 

It was quite frustrating that all she could do right now was rest in the suite or look outside.

 

If she went outside, it would be disastrous if she ran into her family or Yun Bosal.

 

She considered calling a taxi right in front of the hotel to go straight to the hospital, but soon shook her head.

 

Going to the hospital now would be the most dangerous thing.

 

Her family or Yun Bosal would surely be camping out in front of the hospital, thinking she would come to see her father.

 

No matter how she thought about it, there seemed to be no way to remove her family from her life other than becoming Jaejun’s wife.

 

“Sigh.”

 

Yoomin sighed and bit her lip.

 

What method could there be to turn around Jaejun’s displeased heart and make him marry her right away?

 

What could be the recovery method to change Senior’s mind?

 

Yoomin looked at her phone again, which still had no reply.

 

“Could it be…?”

 

Is he not replying because she didn’t call him “Oppa”?

 

“…Oppa?”

 

Yoomin, who had quietly said “Oppa” out loud, screamed from embarrassment.

 

Why was it so embarrassing to call the senior she knew in university “Oppa”?

 

Yoomin took a deep breath and looked at her phone again.

 

“Phew. No. Hong Yoomin. Being embarrassed won’t feed you. If you and Father want to live like human beings… you need to make a good impression on Senior.”

 

Yoomin typed a text with so much force that her fingers cramped.

 

Oppa. Are you very busy?

 

Yoomin, who was debating whether to send it or not, gritted her teeth and pressed the send button.

 

At the same time, she jumped up and down repeatedly saying “What should I do?”

 

After stopping when she was out of breath, she checked her phone with squinted eyes.

 

After confirming there was still no reply, she sighed in relief and threw her phone on the sofa.

 

Ding-dong-.

 

The doorbell rang.

 

She gasped and screamed.

 

Ding-dong-ding-dong-.

 

When the doorbell rang again, she calmed her startled heart and approached the intercom.

 

“Huh?”

 

It was Secretary Kwon again.

 

Yoomin walked toward the entrance and opened the door.

 

“Miss Yoomin, may I come in for a moment?”

 

Secretary Kwon’s expression was brighter than when he delivered the phone earlier.

 

Like someone who came to deliver good news.

 

“It’s just that we need to move your residence. You should go see the place where you’ll be staying to check if you like it, and if you do, we can go buy the things you need.”

 

Yoomin tilted her head.

 

Suddenly move residence? And go buy things she needs?

 

“Don’t you want to go outside?”

 

Yoomin’s shoulders twitched as she looked at Secretary Kwon.

 

So right now…

 

If she goes around with Secretary Kwon, she can go out without any problems, right?

 

“I want to go out!”

 

“I’ll wait on the 1st floor, so get ready and come down.”

 

Secretary Kwon seemed to be holding back laughter while looking at the excited Yoomin.

 

Yoomin suddenly became worried.

 

Did she answer too cheerfully like a child?

 

Whatever.

 

At least she could go outside, and with the secretary there, she wouldn’t have to worry about running into her family!

 

And she could ask Secretary Kwon about Jaejun too.

 

“I’ll get ready quickly and come down!”

 

“Also, I bought this in a hurry so I couldn’t consider the size or design.”

 

Yoomin, who was about to walk toward the bathroom, stopped for a moment.

 

Secretary Kwon handed her a shopping bag.

 

“What is… this?”

 

“New clothes. The Vice President said you would need them.”

 

Secretary Kwon bowed slightly in greeting and left the room.

 

However, Yoomin stood there for a long time even after Secretary Kwon left, staring blankly at the shopping bag.

 

Having been confined for several days, she hadn’t even thought about her clothes being dirty and smelly…

 

How did Jaejun think of even that detail and send new clothes through Secretary Kwon?

 

Just like in university, Jaejun seemed like someone who cared for her more than she cared for herself.

 

She felt her chest tighten heavily as she slowly walked toward the bathroom.

 

Then she backed away again and rushed to the sofa.

 

Jaejun still hadn’t replied, but she quickly composed a new message.

 

I needed new clothes too, so thank you. Oppa, you’re totally thoughtful

 

And she repeatedly added and deleted a ‘♡’ at the end of “thoughtful.”

 

“Come to think of it, someone disappeared and cut off the road, so I won’t be able to go straight ahead right away.”

 

At that moment, what he had said came to mind once again.

 

That dry, emotionless voice that could make her anxious.

 

“If you want to participate in the restoration work, think about it.”

 

Right. I need to do at least this much to see senior’s straightforwardness again.

 

Only then can I… marry senior and live without Father and I being threatened by Yoomin’s family anymore.

 

Yoomin finally attached the heart to her message and pressed the send button.

Headquarters CEO’s Office.

 

Father and Jo Silchang, his secretary, were sitting on the sofa having a serious conversation.

 

There had been an anonymous tip that company money had been flowing into a paper company located overseas for a year.

 

The problem was that the holding company that owned 90% of the shares in that paper company was the Taehyeon Foundation that Father had established in the past.

 

Even if Father hadn’t done it, if the prosecution launched an investigation, there was a 100% chance that Father would be framed as the culprit who created the paper company.

 

Before the prosecution investigation began, they needed to find out who had dared to meticulously design something that only the chairman himself could do to embezzle company money.

 

“Among the smart ones I can trust, there’s only you, Jo Silchang, and Jaejun.”

 

Just as Jaejun was about to answer that he fully understood the seriousness of the situation and would try to resolve it.

 

Buzz-.

 

His pocket vibrated.

 

Since it had also buzzed just a few minutes ago, the atmosphere became tense.
