“Assistant Manager Lee!”
Everyone’s gaze turned to Sang-min.
He must have just come down from the floor above, but he was panting, completely out of breath, a testament to his urgency.
“Team 2 is in big trouble right now!
The CEO has called a meeting on the 5th floor.
He said Assistant Manager Lee and the new Team Leader should attend immediately.”
Hye-won cried out inwardly.
Semi.
How many minutes has it been since I started work, and you’ve already caused trouble?
That’s quite a talent, really.
But she didn’t show any of that, asking in a very businesslike manner.
“What’s the gist of it?”
“It’s Juli-ah from Heyhi.
A hidden camera video has leaked.
They say it’s her ex-boyfriend’s doing.
Here.”
Juli-ah was a creator who filmed videos for children’s YouTube, managed by Team 2.
Hye-won had a rough idea of what it was.
Heo Semi had pushed for her, but honestly, even during the interview, Hye-won had felt uneasy about her.
She seemed more suited for adult content than children’s content.
[Haaah.
Haaah.
Kill me?
Kill me?
Aren’t you going to kill me?
Aren’t you?]
As soon as it played, embarrassing moans and vulgar dialogue were first heard.
Squish.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump –
[Oppa, Oppa, ahh ahh, yes.
Yes.
I’m dying.
Dying.]
On the screen, against a reddish, mottled wallpaper presumed to be from a motel, a fleshy spectacle filled the rest of the frame, gyrating wildly.
The sounds and movements were perfectly synchronized, as if to a metronome.
Hye-won pressed the mute button.
The sound wasn’t important right now.
And morning porn, of all things…
What’s more, to be watching something like this side-by-side with a new male team leader, who might become her rival, in an office surrounded by cute children’s characters was unbelievable.
But regardless, she absolutely had to confirm it.
She needed to know if the woman in the video was truly the Team 2 creator, if it was consensual or a hidden camera video, and how clearly her face was identifiable, in order to figure out how to respond.
On the screen, the two individuals continued to cling and separate enthusiastically.
Hye-won felt a burning sensation all over her body, as if she were on fire, especially her face.
But she absolutely must not show it on her face.
She shouldn’t even breathe too heavily.
She shouldn’t even make a groan.
Because her embarrassment and annoyance might inadvertently be mistaken for envy, admiration, or even arousal.
Meanwhile, the video was now over four minutes long.
Hye-won screamed inwardly.
They’re really dragging this out.
Just finish already.
Please, for crying out loud!
If she had been alone, she would have cursed out loud.
