Chapter 781: The Price of Arrogance (4)
"Mr. Jung is right... I was the one who asked my dad to come that day."
Go Eun-Seo shut her eyes tight as she admitted she had called her father herself.
'That's unexpected.'
She wasn't the Go Eun-Seo I had known before the regression. A simple lie would have earned her a huge advantage, yet she gave it up so easily.
As I watched in quiet surprise, the flustered Variety Department Head Park Han-Jong hurried to persuade Go Eun-Seo. "No, Eun-Seo. If you say that, we'll have no choice but to deduct points. Memories can be... unreliable, right? Think again, carefully."
It was absurd to hear him blatantly urge her to lie about something that had happened just a week ago.
Embarrassed, Go Eun-Seo suddenly shouted, "I'm telling you, I did it!!"
'She still hadn't completely shed her prickly nature, I see.'
Realizing how loudly she had just yelled, Go Eun-Seo glanced at me nervously. "I'm sorry for raising my voice..."
I appreciated Go Eun-Seo's honesty, but this was a time when even small missteps needed to be corrected before they became habits. So I didn't let it slide.
"Don't look at me. You need to apologize to Mr. Park!"
Go Eun-Seo straightened her posture and bowed to Park Han-Jong at a full ninety degrees. "I'm sorry. I got flustered and spoke too harshly."
