Upon returning to the Baekhwa Trading Company after finishing work,
there was something Gu Yangcheon planned to do immediately: naturally, finding Moyong Hee-ah.
âI was planning to eat,â he thought.
Although he had just come back from a task that killed his appetite,
meeting someone after a long time meant certain priorities needed addressing.
But.
âVice Leader.â
âYes, Madam.â
The atmosphere wasnât quite right for that at the moment.
âIf you have something to say, Iâll hear it first.â
Madam Miâs cold words immediately shattered the atmosphere.
Although it was summer, it felt as though a blizzard had swept in.
â...â
Moyong Hee-ah, having heard this, remained silent for a moment before speaking to Madam Mi.
âI apologize. It was my negligence.â
No excuses.
It was a response befitting Moyong Hee-ah.
âJudging from the situationâ¦â
Gu Yangcheon could tellâ
she was being scolded for losing track of the young lady.
âHm.â
While it was true that the runaway young lady was at fault,
failing to capture her was, to some extent, Moyong Hee-ahâs responsibility.
No matter how unjust the circumstancesâ
âSuch is the role of the one in charge.â
When you take on responsibility for something, you must be prepared to endure criticism if things go wrong.
Since Moyong Hee-ah accepted this responsibility knowing that, there was nothing more Gu Yangcheon could say.
Tap-tap.
The sound of Madam Mi tapping on the desk.
Was she tapping it with her fingers?
As he listened, a thought crossed his mind.
âShe has the same habit as my father.â
His father often did something similar when deep in thought.
It was quite the peculiar coincidence.
âIâve received reports and grasped the situation.â
âYes.â
âWhile it may have been an unforeseen circumstance, you are aware of the responsibilities tied to your position, correct?â
âI will accept any punishment.â
âUnderstood. Thenâ¦â
At that point, Gu Yangcheon withdrew his extended senses.
Eavesdropping any further felt like it would cross a line.
Leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, time passed.
Creak.
The door opened, and Moyong Hee-ah stepped out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
