Chapter 49

 

Youngjun scolded Jaejun with an displeased voice.

 

“Didn’t Jo Silchang call saying it was important business? Then you should have had the sense to turn off your phone before coming.”

 

“I’m sorry. It must be Secretary Kwon. I gave many company-related instructions this morning. I still have to do my work, don’t I?”

 

Youngjun, seemingly at a loss for words, cleared his throat and returned to the main topic.

 

“Anyway. Why don’t you give me some opinions on how we should resolve this situation.”

 

Jaejun answered in a rather indifferent tone as if it was nothing serious.

 

“Father established the Taehyeon Foundation 20 years ago. Less than 6 months after establishing it, he changed the CEO to Grandmother. We just need to deduce from the close associates who stayed by Father’s side for over 20 years and would know this fact.”

 

Youngjun nodded and gestured for him to continue.

 

“It would be within ten fingers.”

 

Jaejun’s sharp eyes touched his father once, then landed on Jo Silchang.

 

“It could be a relative. Or it could be a secretary.”

 

Jo Silchang flinched and shook his head vigorously.

 

“No, young master. No matter what, to suspect me…”

 

“I’m just saying that’s how it is.”

 

Jaejun stood up from his seat and buttoned his open vest.

 

Fastening each button with precision, he spoke to Youngjun.

 

“You know it hasn’t even been a month since I took office, Father. If I neglect company work, there will be talk internally, and if I can’t produce results accordingly, I’ll fall out of favor with Grandmother.”

 

“What are you trying to say?”

 

“I mean it’s not easy to take care of company work while catching the thief who framed Father.”

 

“Ah, so what is it that you want?”

 

“Help me out once when I need it.”

 

“Help? Tell me what kind.”

 

“I don’t need it right now. And I’m busy with hotel work so I’ll be going. As I mentioned, I’m a new vice president who hasn’t even been in office for a month.”

 

While Youngjun and Jo Silchang wore dumbfounded expressions, Jaejun quickly left the Chairman’s Office.

 

Sitting in the Chairman’s Office and having detailed meetings with Father and Jo Silchang wouldn’t help identify the culprit anyway.

 

It was right to investigate thoroughly behind the scenes and move quietly.

 

Thinking he should be more careful about visiting the Chairman’s Office in the future, he took out his phone as he got on the elevator.

 

He remembered not replying to Yoomin earlier.

 

However, not only Yoomin but someone else had also sent him messages.

 

One was from his mother Seo Jeonghwa.

 

How is she? She’s quite pretty, isn’t she? She’s one year younger than you. She majored in piano. Mother likes her very much.

 

Seo Jeonghwa praised Im Juran, the granddaughter of Udam Group’s chairman, and sent photos along with it.

 

She did have a pretty appearance, but.

 

“When my eyes are captivated by Hong Yoomin, how could such a face satisfy me.”

 

He deleted the photo as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have.

 

The other was from Secretary Kwon.

 

I’m going to the department store with Ms. Hong Yoomin right now. I told Mother, and she gave permission to use it starting today. When should we set the move-in date?

 

Jaejun replied immediately.

 

Show Hong Yoomin the house and if she seems to like it, let her use it starting today.

 

Then he checked the last message.

 

There were two messages from Yoomin.

 

Since he couldn’t reply earlier, he was very curious about the content of the newly arrived message.

 

Jaejun’s eyebrows rose sharply as he quickly checked the content of the newly arrived message.

 

Oppa. Are you very busy?

 

…Oppa?

 

And not even “Are you busy?” but “Are you very busy?” in cute speech?

 

Could Hong Yoomin act this cute?

 

I needed new clothes anyway, so thank you. Oppa, you’re totally stylish♡

 

The heart that followed made heat rush to Jaejun’s nose.

 

It was brief, but he was so surprised he thought he might actually get a nosebleed.

 

His heart was pounding so hard.

 

He wanted to slap himself from yesterday when he had acted tough, saying he couldn’t be direct with her who had asked him to marry her.

 

How could this be.

 

“She’s so damn cute, really.”

 

It was the moment he unconsciously blurted out his inner thoughts.

 

“Who is cute?”

 

At the voice from beside him, Jaejun flinched and stepped aside.

 

It was Jo Silchang.

 

Jaejun was so surprised he looked at Jo Silchang once and looked around.

 

At the same time, the door opened on the 1st floor.

 

Seeing Jaejun who couldn’t say anything in his confusion, Jo Silchang smiled faintly.

 

“Aren’t you getting off, young master?”

 

“Ah… I’m getting off.”

 

Jaejun thought as he got off the elevator.

 

When exactly had Jo Silchang been in the elevator with him?

 

Didn’t that mean he had been riding together since the Chairman’s Office?

 

His head must have been so full of thoughts about Hong Yoomin that he failed to notice his surroundings.

 

How could this happen.

 

Like in college, he must be going crazy again with only Hong Yoomin visible to him.

 

Jo Silchang, who had followed beside Jaejun, asked subtly.

 

“Young master.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Are you dating someone?”

 

Jaejun stopped.

 

“Who says that?”

 

“Who else? You didn’t even notice I was in the elevator with you and kept staring at your phone the whole time. Plus, you were smiling incredibly brightly while looking at your phone.”

 

Jaejun frowned and asked.

 

“Who was smiling brightly?”

 

However, Jo Silchang paid no mind and smiled even more brightly as he answered.

 

“You, young master. You were smiling brightly like a baby.”

 

“You saw wrong.”

 

Jaejun hastily shoved the phone in his hand into his pocket and started walking.

 

“But you know, young master.”

 

Even though he walked quickly, Jo Silchang easily caught up with him.

 

Jaejun immediately stopped and looked at him.

 

“Don’t you age, Manager? How can an old man’s steps be so fast?”

 

“I’m only sixty-five.”

 

“When I was young, I called anyone over sixty grandpa.”

 

“That’s proof that you’ve aged that much too, young master.”

 

“Ha. Fine. What is it?”

 

“Aren’t you going to meet Udam Group chairman’s granddaughter soon?”

 

Jaejun narrowed his brow and turned his body sharply toward him.

 

“What are you trying to say?”

 

“The chairman is sensitive right now about the paper company matter. If there are problems with the marriage talks too, the madam will be hospitalized every day—”

 

“Ah. I’ll become the seed of family discord? Don’t worry. I’m not dating some random woman.”

 

If she’s great, she’s incredibly great.

 

If she’s pretty, she’s insanely pretty.

 

And how kind she is on top of that.

 

Where in the world would you find such a woman.

 

Jaejun left the company, leaving behind Jo Silchang who had started to say something but closed his mouth.

 

Even as he got in the car, the word “crazy bastard” kept circling in his mouth about himself.

 

Twenty-five-year-old Seol Jaejun had returned.

 

He seemed to have gone crazy once again over Hong Yoomin, who made him smile just by looking at her face even though she did nothing for him.

 

At this point, wasn’t this the work of the three spirit grandmother?

 

Hadn’t she woven a red thread between Hong Yoomin and him, deciding that whenever he saw Hong Yoomin, he would roll over and be happy?

 

Click-.

 

As soon as he got in the car, the driver asked.

 

“Where shall I take you?”

 

“Department store…”

 

Jaejun, who had been about to say the store, closed his mouth for a moment.

 

If he wanted to keep Hong Yoomin by his side as soon as possible, he should focus on doing his given work first.

 

He needed to find the real owner of the paper company that was screwing over his father while maximizing the fourth quarter performance since his appointment.

 

Only then could he make demands to Youngjun and Grandmother.

 

No matter what prestigious family’s bride candidate mother brought, he wanted to marry Hong Yoomin.

 

“Please take me to the company.”

 

No matter how much he missed Yoomin, work and personal matters should be kept separate.

 

It was now 2:30 PM.

 

Since it was during work hours, it was right to finish company work first before seeing Yoomin.

 

Instead, Yoomin would have a hard time when he saw her after work.

 

Because his heart, which had suppressed his longing this much, would explode.

 

How overwhelming would it be for her to handle?

 

He already felt a throbbing sensation below.
