Chapter 145: Smoked Herring (3)
The meeting lasted for quite a while. Thanks to that, we even got to share a meal together.
We couldn’t rent a proper restaurant due to security concerns, but the chef’s skills made it a fairly decent dinner.
“Enjoy your meal. This is probably the first time we’re all eating from the same pot, right?”
“It’d be nice if we could do this more often. We’re not like relatives you see every holiday—sometimes it’s hard just to see each other’s faces.”
Seo Joo-eun, who had long since left my side, said this with a soft smile. Her expression was much gentler than back when she worked directly under me, and there was a certain seasoned grace about her now.

I picked up a piece of meat with my fork and nodded.
“Mm. I’d been thinking about it already. Guess we should.”
Honestly, there was a certain charm to having a secret organization like this. Now that the group had grown so large, it seemed worth trying.
“I thought you said it was tricky to get everyone together because of security concerns?”
“Well, that’s true. But soon it’ll be fine.”
Seo Ji-yeon tilted her head. Normally, the larger a group becomes, the harder it is to avoid intelligence agency surveillance.
