Chapter 21
I was right next to Han Yejun and didn’t even notice any kind of scent from him...? No, I mean, I didn’t even come into contact with him, yet the smell clung to me, and Yoon Taeo picked up on that?
“CEO, sir! That’s not what this is...!”
“I heard you had work to take care of outside. But I don’t recall you saying you were going to meet him.”
“I-It was work, really...!”
I had no idea why I was even making excuses, but the sight of Yoon Taeo slowly putting out his cigarette between his thumb and forefinger brought the excuses spilling out on their own. What the hell... is he some kind of shaman? As if it wasn’t hot at all, not even a single eyelash quivered under the stare that felt like it passed straight through me.
“...Seriously, it was! You just stopped by to make it up to Yejun for standing him up yesterday, so it was work!”
Wait a sec. I was so desperate to explain myself that something felt off.
“...But CEO, you didn’t actually think I was in that kind of relationship with Mr. Yejun, did you? No way, right...?”
“That kind of relationship?”
“I mean... you know, that kind. You were talking about lovers back at the office too...”
“Lovers, huh? Secretary Kim, that tone of yours is getting a bit uppity.”
“My apologies... sir.”
