See You After Work - 4. CEO who wants to be cool

4. CEO who wants to be cool

I've never lived as a married woman, so I don't know what answer I should choose to make it sound elegant.

Chae-won pondered for a moment what would suit her.

in the presence of one's ex-lover who perfectly believes that she is married.

No, in front of him, who will soon be his short-term boss for three months!

"All right. You don't have to answer that question because it's something you're going to solve."

Judging that she was hesitating, Sung-joon lightly raised his hand.

She might have felt nosy from her point of view.

I can't believe you're asking someone who's here to get a job for your husband. It's a mistake. I admit.

"Anyway, I was nosy for a moment because we had a relationship in the past. Sorry."

"Uh... no. I'm fine."

"I know it's not something I should be involved in, but I don't want Jung Chae-won's spouse to be suspicious of me and Jung Chae-won for a moment."

You can't deny that you have to watch out for a relationship that's turned off several times.

"You know what I mean?"

"Yes, I know. And that'sure. Nothing's gonna happen."

It would be unpleasant for her husband to have a relationship that's already over and broken. 

He just wants to be careful, Sung-joon has repeatedly made himself understandable.

"I hope three months will pass without difficulty. I want you to be careful not to let anything unnecessary happen to your spouse who misunderstands me at all the time."

"Yes, understand."

"Okay, that's enough."

Sung-joon has already decided to hire her. 

Already from the moment she opened the door. 

Yes. I'll hire you for three months. 

Such a determination has been made.

"If you have any questions, please resolve them through Chief Kim outside, and write a formal contract."

"Yes, I see. Uh... Mr. President."

The day comes when you hear the title 'Mr. President' from you, it's just a laugh.

"Jung Chae Won, please take good care of me. For three months."

Chae-won looked at him and shook her head at an angle to his side.

I feel like I'm going to get cramps because I've been holding my head so stiff.

Sitting alone was hard enough.

 "I'm looking forward to it as well. Uh... I'll try my best, Mr. President."

 "Ok.  You will have to work hard.  You will have to work hard.  The terms of the contract must be strictly followed."

"Yes. I heard there's a confidentiality clause, so don't worry. I'll keep my word."

"Oh, the only thing you don't have to do is keep that, so you don't have to increase your fighting power."

"Do you keep it? Don't you hire me because you believe i can protect it?"

"I believe you. Who? Me? You?"

Huh, a smile leaks through Sung-joon's lips. 

"Excuse me, Jung Chae-won. What are you talking about? How can I trust you?" 

"....."

"Was you a believer in me? Well, that's not true for you, is it?"

I believe in you, who told me to leave all those good moments behind and break up suddenly. Disbelief is the best thing.

"Then why would you give me the right to work? Someone you don't trust?"

Chae-won's eyes are filled with power.

Her voice, which had been crawling in, also seems to have increased her fever. 

Sung-joon opened his mouth with an unabated voice.

"It's the same whoever you bring. It means that when you take a stranger and try to get him to work, you don't give away any secrets that you have to keep even if you die."

"....."

"It would be nice to keep the secret, but we can't help it even if we fail to keep it. I mean, don't worry, I'll only give you that much weight."

"I'd like to keep it That's what the CEO said."

"By the way, I'm not going to hold on to you to protect me, so make yourself comfortable."

When Sung-joon gestured as if to do what he wanted, Chae-won bit her lips tightly.

His behavior seems strange as he keeps his seat and talks.

"I wonder why you're hiring me. I think it's what I wanted to do. Why do you hire me?"

Oh, is it possible to talk to the perfect person now? 

The title "CEO" is quite catchy.

"I think we can get someone else. I don't think it has to be me, why?"

"As I said, whoever i get is the same. Why should I avoid Jung Chae-won?" 

"That's..." I'm speechless for a moment. 

Chae-won closed her lips tightly. 

Looking at Chae-won, whose lips were tightly closed as if the shells were closing, Sung-joon looked into his watch.

"If you can't do it, you can tell Kim on your way out. If you're going to be selfish, quit now."

"I don't want to! Why would I want to be selfish?"

"I mean, there's no reason we should avoid each other now."

Sung-joon thought he met a very good opportunity. 

You were nothing in my life. You're nothing to me now and forever.

"Get out. I have to get ready for the meeting."

It was a great opportunity to prove it. 

"Let's see each other again, if possible. Jeong Chae-won."

*

After Chae-won stepped out of the office. 

Sung-joon, who was preparing for the meeting with a little more enthusiasm, stopped his fountain pen, which was spinning brilliantly from his fingertips. 

I feel like I had a headache I didn't know about, so I guessed my temples.

I think the time was like a storm after the meeting, but I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.

Even if he refused to do so, he was a human being and sometimes his judgment was clouded by emotion. 

A little nervousness rose as to whether the current situation also believes in judgment clouded by emotion. 

Should I have offered her a job?

The best thing I've ever believed. Is it really the best?

You've been swept away by the atmosphere for a while? It may have been a big trouble. 

In many ways, the idea has become complicated.

It was then.

"You have to go to the meeting, Mr. President."

Chief Kim opened the door and came in.

"Okay. Just three minutes."

It's already time for the meeting. 

Coming to his senses, Sung-joon hurriedly lowered the line of paper he had been looking at.

Chief Kim came close.

"Jung Chae-won is scheduled to go to work tomorrow."

"From tomorrow?" Sung-joon asked with his head raised up.

What, you're really going to do it? You'll do it?

"What? Yes. From tomorrow. It's more than just entry. I have to get ready."

Huh. You're going to work? Really? 

Sung-joon glanced at his fountain pen he was holding.

It's a unique habit that comes out when you're upset. 

You go to work? You can work with me for three months, right? 

Yeah. You wouldn't mind? 

It doesn't matter if you look at me....

"Mr. President, what should i do? I've been going to write a contract."

Oh, right.  Jeong Chae-won is married.

"Never mind. If you have a contract, you can go to work."

I almost forgot the great fact.

Sung-joon muttered a married woman and a married woman as if he should not forget a single moment.

Kim looked at Sung-joon, who had thin eyes, and then pulled his head sideways. 

How fast he is spinning his fountain pen at the fingertips, it's almost like he's losing his mind.

"I looked at the resume and there was nothing wrong with it. But I'm sure that Jung Chae-won's skills will be assured as she was introduced across the street."

"You don't have to doubt your skills."

"....."

"I assure you of my skills." 

"Oh... yes... There's no doubt about it if the CEO is sure."

Kim responds with a grim response, but that can't be heard.

Sung-joon once again focused on the fact that Chae-won has agreed to go to work from tomorrow. 

Yes, it is. 

We were nothing big.

It wasn't a very narrow relationship.

Facts are already we've got some kind of blemish from the distant past.

And Jung Chae-won is already married.

"But Mr. President, you must know her. Jeong Chae-won."

"Mostly. Cross from you. A very thin and insignificant acquaintance." 

"Oh, across like me. Thin and insignificant."

Okay, that's good. It's okay. I can do it if you can.

I can't look like I'm the only one who stopped living in the past. 

Never.

As you know.

"CEO, it's time for the meeting." 

"Okay. Get up. I'll get up."

Sung-joon stood up from his seat.

My heart is pounding already when I think of tomorrow, and somehow I've been getting a cold shoulder these days, and it's very good. 

The corners of one mouth went up naturally. 

Come to think of it, it's a great opportunity. 

The image of a CEO who coolly accepts even his ex-girlfriend who wants to find a job.

How can there be such a great management spirit that is not swayed by past connections to give everyone a fair chance? 

Oh. Cool. 

I'm this cool.

"Chief Kim, I'll temporarily make Jeong Chae-won's seat in the secretary's office." 

"Yes, I've already made it."

Yeah. Come on.

I will accept it with my wide consideration and understanding. 

"Let's go. For a meeting."

"Yes, Mr. President."

I'm a cool, because I'm gentlemen.

**

"I said I was going to work. Oh, my God."

On my way out of the office. 

Chae-won trudged along, turned around and looked up at the building.

an endless high building In it, he is at the highest point. 

"You've made it. You said you were just starting a business."

......in memory, he was preparing for business, and he was competent.

I didn't know he'd settle down this quickly, but she was sure he'd succeed. 

At that time, she was an international student from a wealthy family and he was an average office worker.

"I knew it was going to work. Seriously, i thought you going to succeed and you did it."

in three years' time 

She hit the floor, and he flew in the sky. 

I laughed for a moment because I had mixed feelings. 

No one knows about life, and somehow my legs got weak.

Chae-won looked up at the building quietly and slowly bent her knees and sat down.

I have to take the subway.

I think I need to go home and get ready for work.

"Yes, I'll have a good day if I work hard. I don't have to stay still like this."

Chae-won, who had only been sitting and looking down at the ground, looked up and looked back at the building.

....If you think it's the bottom, it's endless.

If you consider tomorrow's hope to be a luxury, it will end up as a real luxury. 

"Oh my god, let's get up. Get up. Jeong Chae-won, go home and sleep."

Chae-won stood up with her knees up. 

As if nothing had happened, he bravely moved toward the subway station.

"Let's go to work, to work. You have to work. You have to live hard. Let's just think about that."

Common sense, rationally, such words didn't suit her. 

If you close your eyes and think about reality, you can't see anything.

The reason why the surrounding scenery passes quickly is because the train runs fast.

If I wanted to escape, I had no choice but to run forward. 

***

It doesn't get cool. 

No matter how hard I brainwash, I can't be cool. 

"Ha..."

The next day. Sung-joon, who finished getting ready for work, breathed a long sigh. 

I can't get enough sleep. 

I've been jogging along the Han River since the early morning, and I'm not feeling any energy at all.

I didn't stop thinking and ran recklessly, so I ran about twice as far as usual.

I almost fainted on my way home. 

"Is it really coming out, or is it, really?"

Sung-joon was still half-hearted.

What's wrong with us? Come out. 

Obviously it's you who said that, but in fact, it's also up to you to be at a loss for fear that she'll come to work. 

Let's just go back and say I can't.

..No, it must have been stupid.

"Phew..."

Only constant sighs are repeated. 

Sung-joon, who built a company with three people and came to work now, was the head of a pretty big company, but he took the wheel himself to work.

Let's not forget our original resolution.

There was always a creed in his chest to remember the starting point.

"Yes. Coolly. Cool, do it."

Sung-joon mumbled again. Be cool. You can do it. Han Sung-joon.

"I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can."

However, he repeatedly said, "No matter how much I try to appease myself, I don't think it will work." 

How do you feel about a woman who gave you a one-sided breakup without telling you the reason became the wife of another man?

"The past is all about the past. The past is only the past. And I'm cool. It's cool."

It must have been a considerable mental burden. 

What's good about that?

 That's why it's weird because I'm crooked.

I have no idea how far I should draw the line. 

Well, it's the first day. 

"Yes, I am the head of the company. As usual with employees. Equally. Fairly."

Come to think of it, it won't be refreshing for you either. 

They said they'll definitely distinguish between public and private life, so they'll have to distinguish between them. 

Let's distinguish. Let's separate. Because I'm cool. 

"Well, a cup of coffee. Then since we're buying mine, let's turn the secretariat around today."

...Sung-jun, a little less cool, stopped in front of a frequent cafe right next to the company. 

Sung-joon, who has a habit of going to work earlier than his secretaries, stopped by a cafe and ordered coffee like a habit.

Okay. I'll pass the coffee first and give it to Jung Chae-won who came to work.

Hey, good morning. 

You came to work? Good job. Let's do well from now on. 

"Five cups of Americano hot, please." 

"Yes, I see." 

"Oh, a glass of iced Americano, please." 

"Yes."

Imagining a perfectly cool greeting, Sung-joon extended his credit card. 

I'll have to be very nice to the point of pressure. 

My direction is this way.

Even if you get married and appear, I will tell you that it is nothing for me.

I'll take it easy for you to enjoy drinking an ice-filled Americano.

"...what is it is."

As a cold city man, Sung-joon, who had been raising his fighting power by recalling his charming owner separating work from life, inadvertently turned his head out of the window and stopped.

The aroma of making coffee spreads thickly, but it doesn't smell good at the tip of the nose. 

 He will.

Beyond the window with the sun shining over there.

 “Is it.... Husband....”

 There was Jeong Chae Won.

 In a friendly manner with a man.
