Chapter 1288 – If the Tree Doesn’t Work, Is There an Alternative to Building Your Own?
After the regular check-up, there was lunch with all the wives. Mawang and I left the car in the parking lot near the company and entered the lobby of the building where Mina’s company was located.
“Oh, oh, oh. You. Look at that.”
Because it was a lobby where employees from Minah’s company also came and went, the devil with his arms crossed tapped me on the shoulder. There was a large Christmas tree erected in the place that caught my attention.
“Why don’t you put up a tree when you get back? “I think the living room would be nice.”
“Now? “Isn’t Christmas just a little while now?”
“It’s not Christmas yet. Think positively.”
As the devil said, there were only a few days left until Christmas, but not yet. I nodded that it would be okay to put up a tree at home, but at the same time, I thought about calling Yena. That’s why I didn’t see the demon king grinning.
“If the tree doesn’t work, is there an alternative to building your own?”
“Hey?!”
Haha! If you want, you can do it right now! In the bathroom!”
“I won’t! “Just go faster!”
Haha!”
Even after seeing me freak out, the Demon King didn’t stop laughing. He stood in front of the elevator, smiling broadly as if he had been waiting for this.
“Hmm!”
Instead of pressing the elevator button, the Demon King crossed his arms and made a confident expression. He raised his hand holding a plastic bag containing lunch as if he was asking me to press it.
“Haha, no problem!”
Kuuk
“Oh, kinda.”
Before my outstretched fingers could barely reach the plastic bag, the devil pressed the button. She gave me a mischievous smile as I grumbled that if this was going to happen, I should have pressed it a long time ago.
Haha. “You’re so cute when you get tricked, right?”
“It’s noisy.”
“It’s the same when you’re this blunt. How adorable is this? Haha!”
I don’t know who is talking to whom. The Demon King thrust his face towards her with a smile made by stretching his light pink lips. If this wasn’t near Minah’s office, it was so lovely that I would have kissed it.
The Demon King and I talked non-stop while waiting for the elevator and on the way up. We arrived in front of Minah’s company while arguing from time to time.
“Please open the door.”
I stopped in front of the translucent glass door and looked back at the demon king. Minah needed a card key to enter your company, and even though it was in her padded pocket, she couldn’t take it out because she was holding her lunch in both hands.
“Hmm? “There isn’t one?”
That’s why I asked for it, and the Demon King raised his white eyebrows and smiled with his light pink lips. I looked at him silently, pretending not to notice that anyone could see that he had it.
“…”
“Haha, okay. “I opened my luggage.”
“Oh, kinda. While there.”
Haha. I won’t be fooled twice.”
Only after questioning her silently with her eyes did he take out her card key from his padded pocket. The Demon King put it on the terminal that opened the door and unlocked it.
Beep! Weiying
With a short mechanical sound, the glass door opened left and right, revealing the office. Perhaps because it was lunchtime soon, people were not even paying attention and were just concentrating on their work.
“Oh my.”
As I was quietly going inside so as not to disturb him, I ran into someone I knew. When I first reunited with Minah, she, who had been working here, was the first to say hello to me.
“Master. “I guess you came to have lunch with the boss.”
“Yes. Sohee and Sehee too.”
She nodded at the Demon King next to her as she held up a quantity that did not appear to be enough for two people. The female employee quickly greeted the demon king with a glance and made eye contact with me again. While frowning.
“But what about this?”
“Yes? “Why?”
“A guest is here now.”
“Really?”
Today’s lunch date had been planned since yesterday evening. But when she heard that a guest was coming, she looked back at the president’s office. The president’s office, where Minah could be seen working through the glass, was now covered with blinds.
“So I think you’ll have to wait a little bit.”
“Ah, yes.”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t have lunch because I had guests. Feeling relieved, I pointed to the president’s office and asked.
“Then I will sit and wait.”
“I think that would be good. Come. Sohee too.”
“Hoho, yes.”
Even though we had known each other before when we worked here part-time, the Demon King nodded with as much condescension as he did back then. The female employee greeted her again and shared her current status as they walked together.
“Mr. Sohee. “I feel more hungry while I haven’t seen you?”
“Yes. It’s the baby’s day soon.”
“Oh. Has it already happened? But, is it your son? Or a daughter?”
“They still haven’t told me.”
“Oh my god. Still? Let’s change hospitals. “They will tell you there.”
“But I was told not to change hospitals if possible. For now, I’m just waiting for the day to see my child’s face.”
“Oh my. I’m really looking forward to it. Did she name it?”
“Not yet. “I’m going to think about it slowly with my father.”
The conversation continued even after we arrived at the female employee’s seat near her boss’s office. The female employee gave her office chair to the devil and continued talking while sitting on a folding chair.
“… Tsk!”
Left alone, I turned my attention to the cute girl who even clicked her tongue. Inside there, Sehee, who was working under the pretext of a part-time job, was tapping away at the keyboard, looking irritated.
Crash! Ride, ride! Crash!
“Ah, Mr.”
Powok
Sehee didn’t even know we were there and grumbled, slamming her fist on the desk. The enter key-shaped cushion absorbs stress and noise while protecting delicate hands.
“Why is it like this?”
Puck, puck, puck, puck
It seemed like things weren’t going well. Sehee, who was pounding the cushions one after another while clenching her teeth, stood up with a sigh.
“Whoa, huh?”
“Oh, Sehee.”
“…”
Sehee found me standing on the way out and stood up. She stood still and moved again when she saw the devil chatting in her chair with her dark blue eyes.
“… “Are you here?”
I found it a little cute how he tried to gloss over his frustration while working. I pretended not to notice her and held up her plastic bag containing her lunch.
“Uh. “I want to eat this.”
“Is it so? “What did you bring?”
“Sushi. Assorted sets.”
“That’s good. “After Minah’s meeting, let’s eat together.”
“That’s right. Where are you going? Shall I get out of the way?”
“No. “I was going to leave and go to the bathroom, but I’ll just hold on for a little while.”
As Sehee sat down again, I also walked next to her. Sehee squinted and turned the chair she was sitting on to face the approaching day.
“Why, brother?”
“Because your sister doesn’t play with me.”
“Ah. Then shall I play with you?”
“Uh.”
“Okay then.”
Sehee raised her small, delicate hand and picked up the wallet on her desk. From there, he took out a 10,000 won bill and held it out to me.
“Brother. Let’s go and buy some snacks. “I have 50,000 won left.”
“If you give me 10,000 won, how can I have 50,000 won left?”
“You have to take care of that.”
“Oh, kinda.”
“Why. “You don’t like it?”
Sehee chuckled and put the 10,000 won bill she had handed out back into her wallet. He threw his wallet on the desk and looked back at me with sparkling dark blue eyes.
“I’m just playing with my brother.”
“Why do you say that? “I feel bad.”
“Oh my, are you offended?”
“Hey.”
The way he repeated my words was as if he was soothing a child. Sehee, who was so surprised at me, slowly raised the corners of her mouth and whispered so that only we could hear.
“Then, would you like me to give you a kiss? “Don’t you feel offended?”
“…”
“Why. Are you sure you don’t like it this time?”
“…”
Absolutely
I didn’t answer and just shook my head. Of course, with a smile.
Squeak
At this time, the sound of a door opening was heard from behind. Before I made eye contact with Sehee, I turned around and saw the president’s office door opening and an unfamiliar man coming out.
“It’s a shame. “I wanted to talk about it while having lunch together.”
“Sorry. “I decided to have lunch with her husband today.”
“It can’t be helped. We’ll do it next time. Then.”
The same man in his late 30s followed Minah, putting on her smiling face. Even after she found us and greeted us, she escorted the man out the door.
“Who is it? “Who is that person?”
The Demon King, who was talking about the child, turned the topic to that man. The female employee looked at me strangely and told me who he was.
“He is a public broadcaster, and he is putting advertisements in the programs he produces.”
“Oh. Really?”
“I’m not doing it big. It’s indirect advertising. PPL.”
“Sorry. “The meeting took longer than I expected.”
Minah, who saw off her guests, finally returned. Her demon lord raised her body and greeted her.
“Tsk. No. Shall we go in? Enjoy your meal.”
“Yes. Sohee, please enjoy it too.”
The female employee also stood up after finishing her conversation with the devil. Minah smiled at Sehee and me inside and shouted brightly to all the employees in the office.
“Everyone! It’s lunchtime! Let’s wrap this up, eat and work! “You’re working like this just to eat!”
“No, boss! “I work to see the boss!”
“Yes. I heard the lie well. Hurry up and go eat! Come on!”
He took the joke as a joke and even motioned for me to go. Seeing the boss like that, the employees stood up one by one. The female employee who welcomed us was like that too.
“Shall we go eat now? Ugh… !”
Sehee also stood up, stretched, and passed by me. I watched her enter the president’s office with her demon lord and then turned her gaze to Min-ah.
“Mr. Jiheon. Come on.”
“Oh, yes. Okay. Let’s go quickly.”
Holding the lunch bag in both her hands, I approached Minah and entered the president’s office. Minah looked at me with a smile, and as soon as she entered the president’s office,
Warlock
“Huh, hey?”
We hugged.
“Jiheon.”
Minah, who was hugging her from behind, whispered in my ear in a blunt voice, as if she had no emotions, rather than acting full of laughter.
“I missed you so much.”
“… “Did you see it in the morning?”
“Still, I missed you. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
He was taller than me and the president of a company, but he acted like a crazy child. She was so cute that I would have kissed her right away if she hadn’t hugged me from behind.
“Write! Jiheon! Minah! “Leave the teasing on later!”
“Wait a minute. “My nephew is starving.”
First, the devil sitting at the table grumbled while frowning exaggeratedly, and Sehee came over and took the lunch I had brought with him. I ignored the two who were being deliberately oblivious for a moment and returned what I had just heard.
“Uh. “I missed you too.”
“It’s an honor.”
“What is glory?”
With my free hand thanks to Sehee, I stroked Minah’s arm, who was hugging me. Even if it only lasted for a few hours, I was glad to see the reunion, and it calmed my pounding heart.
“You guys! “If you don’t come right away, the tuna will eat up!”
“I’ll eat the fried shrimp!”
“Oh, hey!”
“Sehee. “One fried shrimp per person.”
But after hearing what her sister shouted as she opened the package, she immediately relaxed her arms and joined the table. A fun lunch began with the four of us gathering like this.
