Private Secretary Episode 33
Lee Seol naturally stepped back until her bottom touched the window sill.
Tae-san easily lifted Lee Seol up and sat her on it, then cupped both her cheeks to prevent her from turning her head away.
Her breathing gradually became labored and her heart pounded as if it would burst. Even as heat rose throughout her body, Tae-san showed no signs of stopping.
“Haah, wait a moment…”
When Tae-san scraped the roof of her mouth with his pointed tongue, Lee Seol shuddered with a moan.
Overwhelmed by the intense sensation, Lee Seol took advantage of a brief gap to request some time.
Even while giving Lee Seol a chance to breathe, Tae-san continued kissing her face all over.
As the smacking sounds grew louder, Lee Seol became anxious and covered his lips with her hand.
“The sound is too loud.”
“Who’s listening.”
“Still.”
When Tae-san tried to press his lips against hers again, Lee Seol turned her head away to avoid him.
“You need to work.”
However, Tae-san seemed unable to back down obediently, burying his face in Lee Seol’s nape and kissing her repeatedly.
He licked her earlobe and bit her ear sharply. As if enjoying Lee Seol’s startled reactions, Tae-san continued stimulating her.
“Department Head.”
Rrrr- Rrrr-.
When the intercom connected to the office rang, Lee Seol was startled and grabbed his arm.
“The intercom is ringing.”
“I know.”
“Department Head.”
Tae-san frowned as if annoyed, then stretched his long arm to press the speaker button on the phone.
“Yes.”
Tae-san answered the phone while still keeping his lips pressed against Lee Seol’s nape.
Because of this, Lee Seol froze like a statue, unable to move at all.
[There’s a visitor on the first floor looking for the Department Head, but since they don’t have an appointment, I’m calling to confirm. It’s someone named Kim Se-na, what should I do?]
As soon as the name ‘Kim Se-na’ was heard through the receiver, both Tae-san and Lee Seol hesitated.
Tae-san, who had been pressing his nose and lips against Lee Seol’s skin the entire time, finally pulled his body away.
“Send her up.”
[Yes. Understood.]
Tae-san personally adjusted his tie and straightened his shirt.
The Tae-san who had been persistently pressing close just moments before had withdrawn so easily with Kim Se-na’s appearance alone.
To a disappointing and hollow degree.
“Department Head. Wait a moment.”
Lee Seol pulled out several tissues and wiped the lip balm that had gotten on Tae-san’s lips.
Fortunately, since she didn’t wear dark colors, both their lips were only slightly glossy and not very noticeable.
“Don’t come out, stay here.”
“…I was going to go to the dry cleaner. Coffee stains need to be removed as quickly as possible or they’ll leave marks.”
“…Right. Then go.”
If she stayed in the rest area, she could hear everything from inside the office, which would be even more uncomfortable.
It would be better to give them space. Though it was a bit pathetic.
“Han Lee Seol. Wait.”
It was just as Lee Seol was picking up the coffee-stained shirt.
Tae-san lightly grabbed Lee Seol’s wrist and turned her toward him, then buttoned up the two cardigan buttons that had somehow come undone.
“Ah, thank you.”
“Nothing to be thankful for. I was the one who undid them.”
“…I’ll be going out.”
“Come back in immediately when I call.”
“Yes.”
After bowing to Tae-san and leaving the rest area, Lee Seol grabbed only her phone and wallet before opening the office door.
“Oh, Secretary Han was here too.”
Right in front was Kim Se-na, waiting for Tae-san’s permission to enter. Just as Lee Seol was thinking how quickly she had come up.
“But wait a moment.”
Kim Se-na, who had been slowly looking Lee Seol up and down from head to toe, approached closer as if something seemed strange.
Having just been doing intimate things with Tae-san, Lee Seol felt guilty and couldn’t bring herself to look into her eyes.
“Are you hot? The air conditioning is on here so it’s cool.”
“…Ah, I was ironing just a moment ago.”
“Oh, I see. But there’s something on your neck? What is it?”
Kim Se-na stared intently at the area where Tae-san’s lips had touched. Lee Seol naturally covered that spot with her hand and stepped aside.
“You can go in.”
Fortunately, Yang Secretary approached to guide her to the office, and Kim Se-na looked at Lee Seol with a penetrating gaze before smiling brightly.
“Let’s have a meal together sometime, all four of us. You saved my life, so it wouldn’t be proper to just let it pass. I want to repay you.”
By four, she must mean Kang Tae-san and Han Lee Seol, along with Kim Se-na and Ryu Hwa-pyeong.
Just imagining it made for an awkward situation. Lee Seol, who found her invitation burdensome, avoided answering with a smile.
After seeing Kim Se-na enter Tae-san’s office, Lee Seol told Yang Secretary she was going to the dry cleaner, then headed straight to the restroom.
She then stood close to the mirror and first checked her neck, which Kim Se-na had been suspicious about.
It seemed that when Tae-san kissed Lee Seol’s neck, his lip balm had rubbed off. Though it had no color, it did shine like ointment when it caught the light.
“This is driving me crazy, really.”
Lee Seol took out a hand towel and scrubbed it clean, then confirmed no one else was in the restroom before quietly unbuttoning her cardigan.
Below her collarbone were two kiss marks he had made.
The traces were so embarrassing to look at that she couldn’t bear to look long and hurriedly covered them with her clothes.
The impulsive kiss they shared last night hadn’t ended with just one. Would they end up doing even more than this?
“…What am I thinking.”
Lee Seol was shaking her head left and right to clear her improper thoughts when she was about to leave the restroom.
Ring- Ring-.
As soon as she confirmed it was a call from Tae-san, she immediately pressed the call button.
“Yes. Department Head.”
[Come back in.]
“I haven’t gone to the dry cleaner yet.”
[Se-na says she has something to tell you, so come in.]
It was hard to believe this was the same person who had kissed her breathlessly just moments before, as Tae-san only cared about Kim Se-na.
Kim Se-na again. It was Kim Se-na again.

Knock knock-.
As soon as Lee Seol, who had taken a deep breath, knocked, a voice of permission came from inside.
As soon as Lee Seol entered, what she saw were two people having an affectionate conversation in a harmonious atmosphere.
Tae-san was wearing a warm smile that he rarely showed to Lee Seol.
Though Lee Seol didn’t want to intrude between those two, she had no choice but to sit across from Se-na.
“I heard you had something to say.”
Lee Seol, who wanted to handle only the business and leave, got straight to the point.
“Looking at you, you really have an impatient personality, don’t you? Alright. You must be busy, so I won’t keep you long.”
“…”
“This is a gift. It’s a token of gratitude for saving me that time.”
What Kim Se-na placed on the table was an unidentifiable shopping bag.
“No. It’s fine. I never expected any repayment.”
“Of course you’d say that. But I feel too uncomfortable just letting it pass. If it weren’t for you, Secretary, I might have faced something even worse, so how could I just let it go.”
“I’ll just accept the sentiment.”
“Please accept both the sentiment and the gift?”
Kim Se-na smiled brightly while looking at Tae-san. It was a signal asking for help.
Tae-san, who had been sitting at the head seat quietly observing, gestured to Lee Seol. It meant to stop talking and just accept it.
“I heard you even injured your face trying to save her. Tae-san was very worried about you?”
“….”
“It’s not such an extravagant gift that you need to feel burdened. So please accept it.”
Lee Seol hadn’t helped expecting anything in return, but finding herself in this awkward situation, she glanced between the two before picking up the bag.
When Lee Seol, who wasn’t particularly curious about the contents, set the gift aside, Kim Se-na pouted her lips in disappointment.
“Aren’t you going to open it?”
“…I’ll check it later. If you’re done with your business….”
“Open it now. The person who gave it put thought into it.”
Tae-san, who had been just watching, chimed in.
Unable to refuse his instruction, Lee Seol took out the box from inside the bag.
Inside was a cashmere cardigan that looked high-quality at first glance.
“Back then, your clothes seemed badly damaged too, so I picked this out. I noticed that you often wear cardigans, Secretary.”
“…Yes. Thank you. I’ll wear it well.”
“It’s one hundred percent cashmere, so it’ll be really warm.”
“Thank you.”
“Try it on, and if the size doesn’t fit, you can exchange it at the store. I put the exchange receipt inside too.”
Lee Seol smiled politely as she closed the lid of the box.
