Private Secretary Episode 42
Soon, Lee Seol nervously walked into the office.
Tae-san, standing in front of his desk, loosened his tie as if frustrated and stared intently at Lee Seol.
“Is something wrong?”
“What were you thinking when you brought that back?”
“…What? Someone gave it to me, so I took it…”
“That’s what I’m asking – what were you thinking when you took it? As a secretary, do you just grab whatever people give you?”
“It’s just bread and coffee…”
“Haven’t you considered that it could be a bribe disguised as a favor?”
“What? A bribe? How could bread and coffee be a bribe?”
“The type of item doesn’t matter. What matters is that the Planning Department Head’s secretary received something from an employee of a related department.”
Lee Seol, who had never thought of it that way, was flustered and couldn’t say anything.
“I thought you’d know the basics since you’ve been a secretary for a long time, but apparently not.”
“…”
“If you were just an ordinary employee, receiving bread and coffee would have been the end of it, but you’re my secretary.”
“…”
“Do I have to directly teach you that when a secretary receives something, it ultimately looks like I received it?”
“But, Department Head.”
“What if you accepted it because it was salt bread, but there was gold or diamonds inside?”
“Why would you say something so ridiculous…”
“Would it be ridiculous? Really?”
“…”
“The person who gave it would testify they gave it, and the person who received it would say they didn’t know such things were inside. But who would a third party find more credible?”
“But Park Jong-woo just had pure intentions…”
“How do you know whether his intentions were pure or not? Do you have proof?”
“…”
Though it felt somewhat unfair, Tae-san’s words weren’t wrong.
From Lee Seol’s perspective, it was simple bread and coffee, but as he said, it could escalate into a bribery issue.
“You’re the one who interpreted the situation too innocently.”
“…”
“So don’t act carelessly from now on.”
“…I’m sorry. I was short-sighted.”
Lee Seol, who had always pursued professional work handling, couldn’t even lift her head.
She was ashamed of herself for thoughtlessly accepting items.
“Come here.”
Tae-san’s voice, which had been sternly scolding, became somewhat softer.
When Lee Seol lifted her head, he moved his chin as if telling her to come over.
As she approached, Tae-san, who was sitting on the desk, trapped Lee Seol between his legs and pulled her close.
Their lips met as soon as their eyes locked.
When Lee Seol, who wasn’t in the mood for kissing, turned her face away to avoid it, Tae-san gently grabbed her cheeks.
“What did he say when he gave it to you?”
“…I’m sorry. I won’t accept anything from now on.”
“No. I’m just asking out of curiosity. What did Park Jong-woo say when he gave it to you?”
“…As I mentioned earlier, he just said he bought a lot and was sharing them.”
“He seemed interested in you.”
“What? No. We don’t even know each other well, so what…”
“You don’t have to know someone well to be interested in them.”
Lee Seol shook her head as if it was ridiculous. But at that moment, it felt exactly like he was jealous of Park Jong-woo.
As soon as that thought occurred to her, Lee Seol’s heart swelled greatly with excitement.
“I was wondering if Park Jong-woo might be your type, but apparently not. Judging by your face, you’ve never even thought about it that way.”
Really, is he testing me because he thinks there might be subtle chemistry between Park Jong-woo and me?
The great Kang Tae-san is jealous over something like this? Really?
Of course, it was likely a huge misunderstanding, but still Lee Seol’s heart pounded wildly.
“I’ve never thought about it that way. I’ve never looked at any other employee as a romantic interest while working at the company.”
“Good. Keep it that way from now on.”
“…What?”
How should she react to him telling her not to look at other people romantically from now on?
Lee Seol became convinced that her thoughts were definitely not a misunderstanding.
Tae-san pressed his lips against hers while holding both her cheeks.
The moment their lips touched, Lee Seol noticed that he wanted her.
She didn’t know what was happening with his feelings for Kim Se-na, but he definitely wanted her.
Lee Seol liked that he expressed jealousy through actions instead of words.
She wanted him to completely possess her so that no one else could covet her. Lee Seol, not Kim Se-na.
Tae-san held Lee Seol tightly and parted her lips to forcibly insert his tongue.
“At the company, at the company…”
“I’m doing what I want in my own room, so why not.”
The more Lee Seol felt burdened, the more persistently Tae-san pursued her. Lee Seol, who carefully grabbed his arm, gradually got swept up in him.
Because at this moment, Lee Seol also strongly wanted Tae-san.
The sound of their lips and tongues intertwining grew louder, but Tae-san showed no signs of stopping.
Tae-san, who had his arms around Lee Seol’s waist, gradually moved his hands down to gently caress her buttocks.
The sensations from yesterday instantly came back to life and she almost got swept up in temptation, but they both couldn’t lose their reason at the company.
Lee Seol barely held onto her sanity.
“No. Stop, stop it.”
When Lee Seol turned her head away while breathing out hotly, Tae-san began nibbling on her ear instead of responding.
“Kang Tae-san.”
While continuously caressing her body with his hands.
“When you call me by name, I don’t want to stop even more.”
“We can do this after work.”
“It’s more fun doing this in my room in broad daylight.”
“Why are you so mischievous?”
“Didn’t you know?”
Tae-san smiled brightly and hugged Lee Seol tightly with both arms, burying his face deep in her neck.
“Let’s rest for a moment. I’m tired.”
“Should I bring you some warm tea?”
“No. I’d just like you to kiss me.”
“We just did that, what more…”
“That was me doing it, not you doing it for me.”
Tae-san blatantly rubbed Lee Seol’s lips while making eye contact.
As if begging her to kiss him first.
Such a Tae-san was unbearably lovable. She wanted to love him freely and tell him she loved him.
And she wanted to ask this: Do you love me too?
When Lee Seol cupped both his cheeks and made eye contact, Tae-san also gazed at her deeply.
While pulling Lee Seol’s waist closer as if urging her.
Lee Seol, who felt like she couldn’t leave this room without giving him a kiss, finally pressed her lips to his.
But it wasn’t a kiss. After lightly pecking a few times, Lee Seol quickly moved away so he couldn’t catch her.
“Lee Seol.”
“You have a video conference with the LA branch manager in 30 minutes. I’ll prepare for it.”
“You switch modes really fast.”
“I’ll be going now.”
As Lee Seol tried to bow and leave, Tae-san gestured for her to wait a moment.
“Don’t eat that bread, and let Yang Secretary handle it. If you’re really hungry, use the card I gave you.”
“…Yes. I understand.”
Does it really bother him that much for me to eat bread given by another man?
She barely managed to suppress the smile that kept trying to spread across her lips.
Standing with her back to Tae-san, Lee Seol used her phone screen as a mirror to check if her makeup had smudged.
When she finally went outside, Yang Secretary looked at Lee Seol with a face full of curiosity.
“Did you get scolded? Why? Did something happen outside?”
“I got scolded for carelessly accepting things from anyone in the future.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
Lee Seol briefly summarized what had happened earlier as she sat down inside the desk area.
“What’s the big deal about just bread and coffee? But why is your face so red? Are you angry because you got scolded?”
“…Oh, is it red? Then I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
Lee Seol hurried to the restroom, worried that the perceptive Yang Secretary might notice something.
Standing in front of the mirror, Lee Seol placed both hands over her still rapidly beating heart.
After sharing intimate relations with him, Tae-san had begun showing her warm smiles too.
More than their night together, more than passionate kisses, she loved that gentle smile of his.
“You really do like him.”
She hadn’t realized she would come to harbor such pure feelings for Tae-san.
