Chapter 9.4

9.4

Thankfully, Sunghee was able to go to work normally. It was obvious her co-workers were curious about why she went home early yesterday, but no one dared to ask her about it. Yura also talked about this and that, but she never asked her directly about it. This was for the best. Sunghee didn’t want to talk about it.

Everything returned to normal. Her clothes, her makeup, and her life. Sunghee had lunch with Yura at work every day and gossipped about the other co-workers and the celebrities. They would also talk about men.

And at the end of the day, Sunghee went straight home. Thinking it might be best to find another job, she even decided to send her resume to the recruiting company. This was normal when an office romance ended. Well, she wasn’t sure if she should even call it an office romance.

On the weekend, the company foundation anniversary party took place. It was “recommended” that the employees attend this event, but everyone knew they had no choice about it. Sunghee and Yura dressed in their business suits and entered the hotel banquet hall. The seats were already assigned according to people’s departments. For some reason, Manager Min’s seat was assigned next to the directors.

Yura leaned toward Sunghee and whispered,

“I heard that there is a rumor that some executives might be transferred to different departments. Maybe it’s really happening. You think Manager Min is being promoted to the position of a director?”

Sunghee blankly looked at their giant round table. She read all the name cards, and noticed that Sejin’s name wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Did he quit? If he did, there was no reason why she should quit too. It was best for her to remain in this company just in case they ended up in the same company again if she changed jobs.

“Sunghee, look over there!”

When Yura exclaimed, Sunghee turned toward where she pointed. Clearly excited, Yura continued,

“Isn’t that Ryu Sejin? The one sitting next to the CEO. It’s him, right?”

Sunghee frowned and squinted. The luxurious table closest to the stage was where the CEO and the high level directors were supposed to sit. There was no way Sejin would be sitting there. Sunghee was about to say to Yura that she was being ridiculous when suddenly, she blinked in shock.

It was really Sejin. She frowned at the fact that she could now spot him and recognize him anywhere. His back was toward her, but there was no doubt this was Sejin. Blinking a few times again, she frowned.

She meant to forget about him. She was certain she could if she tried. After all, they were just sex partners and nothing more. They were mature adults. And as a grown woman, she needed to bow out. Perhaps this was Sejin’s plan all along. Tell her that he liked her but he was leaving her because she betrayed him. It wasn’t a bad breakup on his part.

Confused, Yura murmured,

“Why is he over there? I don’t understand. I mean, he isn’t even that great of a worker…”

All Sunghee could do was stare quietly. She was just as confused, but she kept telling herself that this wasn’t her business. She just needed to endure this party like nothing was wrong. Maybe clap a few times when someone makes a speech. Eat the food and then go home. Afterward, she was going to go home and watch some TV like in the old days. She was going to dream about her ideal man that didn’t exist. This was her life again.

Sunghee couldn’t even remember how the party went. She vaguely remembered the CEO, a female in her 60s, making a speech. People around her murmured that she was a talented leader who was famous in the ad industry. The CEO looked elegant and confident, but Sunghee didn’t pay any attention. She didn’t care anymore.

She was staring blankly when suddenly, Yura jabbed her. The CEO was making announcements and it seemed that she said something interesting. Sunghee turned toward Yura and asked,

“Why did you hit me just now?”

“Did you hear just now? Manager Min is the CEO’s nephew!”

Yura pointed at the stage, and when Sunghee turned toward it, she saw Seungju. Apparently, he has been promoted to the position of a director. Everyone clapped around her as the CEO continued,

“And there is one more person I need to introduce you to. He actually began working here not too long ago. He’s my son. There is no need to give him special treatment, of course. I just thought I should make an introduction.”

With this announcement, Sejin stood up. Everyone on Sunghee’s table gaped in shock as they stared. In his crisp suit and bowing elegantly, Sejin looked very different from his usual antisocial appearance at the office. Shaking her head, Yura murmured,

“OMG. If I had known, I would’ve tried to seduce Ryu Sejin instead of Manager Min.”

Sunghee remained in her seat looking dazed.
