Chapter 145: The Burning Drug (4)
“Haaaaa.”
As I let out a deep sigh, Seoah who was sitting in front of me frowned.
“Director Lee Sehee. Why are you suddenly here? If you don’t have any business with me, please go back quickly.”
I sprawled across the large table in the deputy director’s office and answered with all the drama I could muster.
“I’ve been so busy lately. When is Yerin coming back?”
“…”
Seoah’s eyes sharpened at that. Well, I get it—she works three times as much as I do. But!
Seoah has always worked a lot. Meanwhile, I’m trying to work after not working for ages, so it’s infinitely harder for me…
In other words, it’s mathematically harder for me!
I glanced up at Seoah, hoping for some sympathy, but she’d already turned her gaze back to her work.
Then, something on her desk caught my eye—a glass case with a fluffy cotton quilt and a blue fruit on top. It didn’t look like an ordinary decoration.
“Seoah, what’s that on your desk?”
I pointed at it with my finger, curious, and Seoah replied in a calm voice.
“You remember the new Object I mentioned in the report last time, the Navy Bud Reaper, right?”
“O-of course I do.”
To be honest, I had no idea what she was talking about. But judging from Seoah’s expression, it seemed like something I should know, so I pretended I did.
“It’s a product of an Object. The Navy Bud Reaper gave it to me and told me to eat it. But I’m still debating what to do with it. I wrote down the details in the report I submitted last night.”
“Ah… I see.”
At first, I didn’t think much of it, but maybe since it was a Mini Reaper who gave it to her, the blue fruit suddenly looked… delicious.
“If you’re that worried, should I try it instead?”
“No.”
Seoah just shot me down without any hesitation.
Tsk.
