Chapter 83
“Looks like something’s up, Team Leader Baek.”
“Hello.”
Greeting him properly was harder than it sounded. Looking at the unusually radiant face of the Chief Secretary, I couldn’t even force a fake smile. Or maybe it was just because I hadn’t slept a wink last night.
“So, what brings you here? Your work location is the residence, and the CEO hasn’t come in yet.”
“...I came to deliver the CEO’s clothes.”
“Oh, please give them to me.”
...I deliberately arrived slightly past work time. The clothes were just an excuse. An excuse to see Yoon Taeo’s face once. But even that failed when the Chief Secretary snatched the suitcase with the clothes.
“Team Leader Baek, if you have no tasks today, look for a place to stay.”
“A place?”
Putting aside the tone that implied I’d have no tasks, what did he mean by ‘place’?
“Yes. Hyunjin can’t keep staying at a hotel. The CEO will probably visit often, so find a place that suits his tastes. Closer to the company would be better, right? Pay attention to security as well.”
I thought it was nonsense, lost in delusion, even as the Chief Secretary patted my shoulder and walked into Taeo’s office. I even felt a little rebellious — was I supposed to find a house for Hyunjin on the Chief Secretary’s orders, not Taeo’s? And Hyunjin hasn’t even been fully recognized as Taeo’s Beta yet.
