Chapter 149 – @21. Company Life in Wind Light
Team leader Jeong left the office in a hurry unlike before, and was left alone again.
Um… But what am I supposed to do?
There is nothing as urgent as team leader Jeong, but that doesn’t mean he really wants to spread rumors.
Even if it has nothing to do with me, if team leader Jeong is surrounded by bad rumors and makes his position uncomfortable, there is nothing good for me either.
It’s Joo Eun…
That evening, I got a call from team leader Jeong.
“It worked out well. Rumors won’t spread.”
“Really? That’s good.”
It seems that he met her in person.
But her voice didn’t sound very comfortable.
The voice is a bit split for what has been resolved.
“I’ll talk to you when I see you tomorrow.”
“Yes. Then.”
There was no need for me to rush right away.
“Jooeun? You know. I’m on the web design team.”
I went to work the next morning and asked Moon Hee-yang about her.
“Okay?”
“You don’t know Mr. Joo-eun?”
Rather, Moonhee looked at me as if I were strange.
“I don’t have anyone close to me other than my teammates.”
“Haa… Seriously. His hair is like this, and he’s dressed very stylishly… There’s no way he won’t be noticed.”
“Okay?”
“It’s very pretty in our company.”
Moon Hee-yang explained to me the appearance of a woman named Joo-eun.
Come to think of it, she is someone I see occasionally.
As Moon-hee said, there were quite a few smartly dressed women in the company, but she was the only one dressed in her brand name most of the time.
“What kind of person are you?”
It would not be an ordinary woman to always dress up like that.
Are you the daughter of a rich family?
“Hmm. I live in Gangnam. I heard that my family is amazing. Is going to work a hobby?”
Why is such a rich family’s daughter working as a web designer for such a small business?
“He’s a nice guy. He gets along with a lot of people.”
I was able to hear quite a few things about her from Moonhee.
He went to high school in Korea, and went to a prestigious art school in the United States.
Has anyone ever had such a great career? It is to the point of admiration.
Because of her big use, she sometimes gives a big chin to her colleagues, and because of her good looks, she is said to be quite popular.
In a society of women, such a pretty woman seems to be popular.
“Well. There are some people who don’t like it. Somehow, they say it shows off too much.”
Moon Hee-yang seems to be neither of them.
She, too, got along well with this and that, but she wasn’t the type to lead a group or spread the word.
Rather, he is the type to listen quietly. She was someone who was by my side without knowing when and who gave me something to believe in.
“But what about Joo-eun?”
“Just. I heard that name by accident, just in case. I didn’t even know there was such a person in the company.”
“Really? You’re not interested, are you?”
Moonhee smiled and asked.
“Interested. I know my subject.”
“How is your senior? It’s rare to find a man as steady and trustworthy as your senior.”
After all, this woman also has no eyes for men.
If you find out my true identity, you will be very disappointed, right?
I was only able to talk with team leader Jeong during lunchtime.
It was also necessary to meet and talk at a place away from the company.
Because the head coach wanted him to do that.
“I think we should refrain from doing anything dangerous in the office for the time being.”
“It seems that Joo-Eun didn’t know that the team leader was me.”
“Huh.”
“Did you notice that the team leader did lewd things in the office?”
“Ugh… Maybe.”
“So what did we talk about when we met?”
“I asked what you were doing there earlier. Why did you run away as soon as you saw it?
Chief Jung started to speak.
“So he told me not to spy on other offices like that. Then he said he was wrong.”
It seems to have come off with some ease.
“But when strange sounds come from the office like that, everyone is interested. A bold girl.”
Anger flashed across the leader’s face.
“I don’t know what you’re hearing and misunderstanding, but I warned you that if you talk nonsense like that, you’ll get hurt.”
Hmm…
Team leader Jeong’s method is quite straightforward.
If rumors spread, you are the only culprit, so I warned you that I will not let you go.
“Do you know what that means? He’s never the kind of person who reveals other people’s secrets. But while he was saying that, he was smiling at me. It’s not that easy.”
Where did Team Leader Jeong’s anger come from?
Her arrogance?
Shame on her for revealing her own secrets?
“Anyway, I warned you. I really won’t let you go if strange noises spread around the company.”
Now, I’m a little more like a team leader.
She was a fighter, but she was never a risk-averse coward.
“Anyway, I know that. I won’t harm you.”
What. I wondered if there would be any damage to me, but I think I should feel grateful if you said that.
“So let’s meet outside for a while, huh?”
So for the time being, it wasn’t something to do.
“You want to do it again?”
“Huh? Uhm… If it’s okay, where should we stop by and go? Let’s pretend we’re away together.”
Her voice was more coy than the day before.
Somehow, the thought that we shared the same secret made me feel closer?
“All right for today. I’ll go in.”
And I have no intention of dissolving the desires of Team Leader Jeong.
So, I have to use Team Leader Jeong to satisfy my needs, not a relationship where I ask her to satisfy her needs.
After breaking up with team leader Jeong, I returned to the office and forgot about them and did my own thing.
What. Her team leader, Jeong, tells her that she is annoyed with her, but when she realizes that she has done nothing wrong?
So I had nothing to be angry about.
“Senior…”
However, after a few hours, I heard something completely different from Moon Hee-yang again.
“Senior, did you get off work late yesterday?”
Moonhee’s face was quite different from usual.
“Yeah. About 7 o’clock? What’s going on?”
“In fact…”
I had never seen her so embarrassed.
What the hell is he trying to say with such a strange expression?
“There are some bad rumors going around the company right now.”
Finally Moonhee opened her mouth.
“What is it? Is it my problem? Don’t worry, tell me.”
Judging from the fact that I can’t easily get the words out, it has something to do with me.
“Actually, someone passed by our office last night and heard something strange.”
“Huh?”
I got it right away
It’s the woman’s work that Team Leader Jung said about.
After telling team leader Jeong that he would keep the secret, it seems that he has already spread rumors.
Why?
He said he was a son of a rich family, so he was saying that he wasn’t afraid of team leader Jeong, who was in a different department from him?
Do you want to try it?
“Sounds strange?”
I took off her pretense and asked her back.
“There are rumors going around that someone must have been doing naughty things in the office.”
“Haha… Me?”
“I didn’t just designate a senior. But I did designate our office.”
It seems that the name of team leader Jeong was not even mentioned.
Is that fortunate?
But why?
I was curious about the mind of a woman named Joo-eun.
“Ha… What should I do? Should I be embarrassed? I was the only person in the office yesterday…”
“But I got caught up in it too.”
Moon Hee’s words were so absurd.
“Why Moonhee?”
“Yesterday, everyone else left work, and we stayed up late, didn’t we? People know that it was the seniors and me who stayed late.”
“But that’s it, shouldn’t Moon-hee just say that he left work first?”
“Then I told you not to talk nonsense, so I stayed up late in case you would be embarrassed.”
Moon Hee-yang is the kindest person in the world.
She knew that even she would be swept away by rumors, but she didn’t know that she would do that for me.
“I can’t do that…”
“Anyway, the rumors were covered up like that. I don’t think anyone did anything strange with my seniors.”
Moon Hee-yang said triumphantly.
But is that good?
Everyone thinks I’m no match for Moon Hee-yang, right?
“Anyway, did you owe Moon Hee-yang again this time?
“So, when should I pay it out loud?”
She smiled brightly and returned with the coffee can I had pulled out for her.
“I heard you got along well with a woman named Joo-eun?”
“Haa… I didn’t know this cute thing could do that.”
Team leader Jeong made a puzzled face.
“I’m glad the rumors ended on my line somehow.”
“I’m sorry about the hero.”
However, Team Leader Jeong seemed to be glad that she was out of the eyes of others.
“I really can’t leave that girl alone.”
“But there’s no evidence that she spread it either.”
That’s probably why he was able to do that.
But I still couldn’t understand why she did that.
“What do you want?”
“I don’t know. I don’t think he just wanted to embarrass me…”
If so, the name of team leader Jeong would be floating around.
It doesn’t mean much that my name is floating around.
“I’d like to see you again.”
Team leader Jeong made up his mind.
“Let’s leave it alone for a while. The rumors will subside anyway.”
“Um… Yes.”
Team leader Jeong decided to follow my words with a puzzled look on his face.
And we hadn’t noticed her malice yet.
“I met him today.”
That evening, I got another call from team manager Jeong.
She said she wanted to see and talk about it in person, so she met with team leader Jeong.
“That cute girl…”
Just by hearing her voice, you could tell how angry she was with her.
“What did she say?”
“She has nothing to do with the rumors.”
What. Such excuses are sufficient.
“Then it wouldn’t be much of an income.”
“Ha… Look at this.”
Team leader Jeong showed me a photo stored on his smartphone.
“Haha… I really can’t gamble on this. Did she threaten you by showing you this?”
In the photo Team Manager Jeong sent, we can see Team Manager Jeong and I leaving the motel entrance.
This…
You’re completely caught in a trap…
But something is strange.
The motel I went to with team leader Jeong had entered through the parking lot.
So, this picture is not a picture taken by chance, but a picture taken while someone was waiting for it.
If she is, why did she come after us?
“The sender was a new number I had never seen before. But after receiving it, the girl called me shortly after.”
It’s a very obvious threat.
For what the hell is this woman chasing after us, and is she threatening team leader Jeong?
“So when I asked to meet him, he said he would wait.
I’m really blown away…”
“So what does she want?”
You can’t do this for no reason.
“They didn’t make any demands. I just want to get along well with me from now on. I want to join Team Leader Jung’s line from now on. While saying this…”
Jung expressed her anger at her again.
