Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

For a moment, I thought I was still caught up in the Church of the Luminous Unknown's ghost story.

But my fully awakened mind quickly assessed the situation. 'This is different.'

The Eun Haje standing before me was no longer the clean-cut, suit-wearing professional boss I remembered from the office.

Instead, she looked more like a detective who had been on a three-day undercover stakeout... or perhaps, a reporter.

Reality hit me like a splash of cold water.

'What kind of situation is this?'

I immediately got up from the bed.

"Assistant Manager."

"Yes."

Eun Haje nodded.

"First of all, sorry for barging into your place unannounced. I can't afford to be seen right now, but I had to tell you something important." Having been missing for two months, she now stood in someone else's room like a burglar, casting wary glances toward the window. As if she were being pursued.

"...When you say you can't afford to be seen, do you mean you're being tracked?"
