Chapter 82
“I think it’s here....”
After finishing a rather long shopping trip, I picked up Choi Hyun-jin and took her to the place the general secretary had taken a picture of.
“It looks like a very expensive place....”
Yes, it's an expensive place. It's a hotel restaurant where steaks smaller than the palm of your hand cost hundreds of thousands of won. Each table is separated into a separate room, so it's a restaurant often visited by high-ranking people who want to avoid someone's gaze. Since it wasn't his first time there, he guided Choi Hyun-jin to the room he had reserved.
“You’re late, Team Leader Baek.”
I ran into the general secretary in the hallway in front of the room. I didn't make any excuses for arriving earlier than the time I was told or for being late because I was buying Choi Hyun-jin's stuff. The old man probably just wanted to blame me.
“Aren’t you two going to eat anyway?”
“No way.”
The general secretary answered my question with a breathy laugh. Then he opened the sliding door slightly and pushed Choi Hyun-jin in, and naturally everyone's eyes turned inward.
“I don’t know how long the CEO has been waiting for Choi Hyun-jin.”
I could see Yoon Tae-oh's back. I couldn't help but recognize the clothes I had made him wear this morning, and the back of his head that I saw every day. So, I had dressed up the person who was going to have dinner with Yoon Tae-oh...?
“Oh. Can you buy me some digestive medicine? I feel a little sick after a long car ride.”
