Chapter 87
"Baek Sieon, Baek Sieon..."
Yoon Taeo couldn’t fall asleep easily. The cause, once again, was that secretary guy, and looking back, it was truly strange. Recently, it was true that the secretary’s face had been standing out more and more. But it was still not easy to recognize him just by his face. Yet now, he appeared a bit clearer.
Today. It seemed to be the moment when he called out his name. Like life being granted to a withered old tree, the blur around the secretary’s face noticeably faded.
Because of that, Taeo could see him in more detail. The cheek that subtly trembled when flustered, the lips tensed tightly when holding back words. Like a noisy voice ringing in the ears, his face was also quite varied. Still, compared to other “Betas,” his impression was faint, but Taeo thought it was a fairly decent face.
“A guy who eats two servings of Korean set meals by himself...”
What about his appetite, eating the two servings prepared for both of them alone? Perhaps that was why his face became clearer; even late at night, each of the secretary’s expressions circled Taeo’s mind. For a long, long time.

Tap, tap, tap.
After finishing a meeting, Yoon Taeo sank into deep thought. After checking the time once, he called the secretary’s office.
Once again, a strange voice greeted him.
“Where is Secretary Kim?”
