Chapter 100
“Thank you for participating in the interview. We’ll be in touch again.”
As Reporter Park Soo-hee began packing up her laptop and other belongings, the red light on the camera turned off as well. With the clean wrap-up, Kang Se-heon took a breath and regained his composure before picking up his phone. While checking the messages and emails from his secretary, he heard Chairman Kang Hak-jung clear his throat.
“Did Tae-seo say there was anything he wanted?”
“You talk to Tae-seo all the time—why are you asking me?”
Ever since the Chairman had been the first to bring up the fetal movement, Kang Se-heon had suspected just how frequently the two had been speaking.
“Well, I only answered when Tae-seo called me once in a while.”
“You never called him first?”
Chairman Kang Hak-jung turned his gaze away, pretending to straighten his clothes. That alone was enough of an answer, so Se-heon didn’t press further. If Tae-seo had been calling him unwillingly, he might’ve said something—but it didn’t seem like that was the case.
“I’m sure you know this already from reading all those books, but once you're expecting, you start getting sleepy a lot. So just in case...”
Kang Se-heon’s sentence cut off mid-thought. It was because of a short message from Tae-seo. He confirmed the timestamp, and his brow furrowed.
Tae-seo had sent him a photo and a location.
There’d been no other contact since. And that silence was exactly what set Se-heon on edge. He immediately tried calling Tae-seo, but all he got was the automated message that the line was busy.
