To finish quickly, Hye-won was skimming through, reading only the main points.
Team Leader Seo showed no particular reaction, so she thought she could just finish it this way.
“Hmm… As you can see here…”
Team Leader Seo suddenly cut Hye-won off mid-sentence.
“I don’t know just by looking, so please explain everything thoroughly, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“…”
The air inside the Team Leader’s office instantly froze.
Hye-won’s hand, which had been turning pages on the tablet screen, also stopped abruptly.
His tone, as if engraving each and every word onto Hye-won’s forehead, was so overbearing and hostile that it made her hair stand on end.
Haah.
Hye-won let out a short, cynical laugh, then pressed her lips together tightly.
And she felt that Team Leader Seo was now expressing considerable displeasure towards her.
Was she finally going to clash head-on with the team leader?
Just then, a taut tension filled the space between them.
Knock-knock-
The Team Leader’s office door carefully opened, and So-young offered a greeting in a small voice.
“Ah. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Then I’ll be heading home first.
Team Leader.
Assistant Manager.”
“Alright, So-young.
See you tomorrow then.
Get home safely.”
Wow.
Hye-won, whose gaze was still fixed on the tablet screen, let out another sigh.
It was because of his incredibly gentle and flowing tone, so much so that she couldn’t believe he was the same person who had just been snapping at her, crushing her with his words.
“Understood, Team Leader.”
Hye-won, sitting with her back to So-young, subtly raised one hand as a substitute for a greeting.
She simply couldn’t bring herself to smile and greet So-young as casually as Team Leader Seo did.
Thud-
The door closed, and neither of them spoke nor moved.
Since So-young had left for the day, only the two of them remained in the office.
The clock hands were moving past 6:15 PM.
The taut tension and chilling coldness between them filled the room so completely that the ticking of the wall clock’s second hand sounded loud. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Hye-won quietly swallowed dry.
All right.
Since things have come to this, let’s have a frank conversation.
The discussion was about everything: what I said this morning, and his scoff in the conference room.
“Team Leader.”
Hye-won calmly called out to him first.
But at his reply, she couldn’t believe her ears.
“I finally found you, Lee Hye-won.”
What?
Only then did Hye-won raise her head and look directly at Team Leader Seo.
Her eyes were wide open, as wide as they could get.
Hye-won still didn’t know.
The two walking disasters mentioned earlier didn’t even count.
The real walking disaster was right here.
