Chapter 45
"Good work. Make sure to check with the CEO regularly, and encourage him to manage with medication on the first day."
Yoon Taeo had made it clear last night. I, Baek Sieon, was unnecessary to him. I thought he had softened up a little recently, but it turns out that his nasty attitude is still the same.
In this world, Yoon Taeo's orders are absolute, but I couldn't just stand there and watch.
Even this morning, I didn’t bother to send him off because I couldn’t stand looking at him, but once he left, I couldn’t help but feel worried. So now, I’m secretly getting reports from my fanatical secretary team. Since Yoon Taeo is already in the villa, the reports are mostly just to confirm whether there’s a problem or not.
“...It’s boring.”
Yesterday, I thought my life was pretty good, but now I see that it’s not. The house feels unnecessarily large, and the space with no one around feels especially empty. It’s only one person missing, yet it feels unbearable to think about spending the next few days alone in this big house.
Today, I didn’t even call anyone for home management. With Yoon Taeo in the villa, there’s no point in using their help. But I made a mistake. Being alone in this big house with no one to talk to turned out to be far lonelier than I expected. It hasn’t even been a full day yet. How did Taeo live alone in a house like this...? The image of him alone in the desolate space started to overlap in my mind.
To shake off these thoughts, I figured I might as well get to work and sat on the sofa.
"Crazy bastard. How the hell can he be so free...?”
I got my work tablet back. As I lay on the living room sofa and checked Yoon Taeo’s schedule from yesterday and the day before, it was a mess. He barely managed to go through any of his appointments.
On the day he came home for lunch, he was supposed to have a lunch meeting with the executives but ended up canceling it. The rest of his schedule was full of cancellations. I’m sure, once the rut cycle is over and he returns, he’ll have to go through a hellish schedule.
