"Let's flirt, officially"

56 • I am ready to resign.

I had no idea how far I'd run since leaving the cafe. When I was almost out of breath, I stopped and looked around. It was a quiet street.

도여주

How far have I run without even knowing it?

To get an idea of ​​where it was, I looked around and saw a quiet street with a few motorcycles and cars, and only about three or four pedestrians passing by.

도여주

Oh my, I don't even know where this is...

I opened my handbag, took out my phone, and thought about calling a taxi. I reached for it, pulled it out, turned it on, and saw that I had missed calls on the screen.

[Missed call] My husband💜

도여주

I was so busy talking that I didn't even notice you calling...

As soon as I checked my missed calls, I immediately called you. The caller beeped a few times, and then I picked up.

전정국

- Hello? What's wrong...? You're not answering your phone.

도여주

- Oh?, yeah… No. I just met someone I know for a bit.

전정국

- I was surprised. I'm glad nothing happened...

도여주

- I sent you a text earlier. Did you call because you missed me?

I asked half-jokingly, half-seriously, to try and change the subject. You replied with a sly voice, "Why are you asking something so obvious?"

도여주

- I'll go to work soon. Let's go home together.

전정국

- Okay. I'll just wait until you arrive.

도여주

- Yeah.

도여주

- Yeah.

Thump, -

Even after the call ended, the uneasy feeling didn't go away. As I stared at the disconnected phone screen, I felt the tone of the voice change, as if something had happened.

Smart, -

김요한

Please approve the documents.

There was a knock on the door twice. Soon after, the door opened and John came in.

And as he approached the desk and handed over the documents to be signed, Yohan, who was studying Jeongguk's face, asked.

김요한

What's going on?

전정국

I'm busy. Why?

김요한

I don't think so. I've always had a lot of work to do, but I never had this expression on my face.

He spread out his fingers and brought them close to Jeongguk's face, poking his cheek with his fingers and saying,

전정국

Ace, maybe it's just my imagination? … .

김요한

The representative's mood is always off.

전정국

… do you want your salary cut in half?

김요한

Then you should report it to the Ministry of Labor.

전정국

I don't like it… .

He grabbed the finger that had poked his cheek and pulled it away from his own cheek, glared at him with sharp eyes, and signed the payment document that was handed to him.

전정국

Okay, take it.

김요한

Yes, yes. I don't plan on staying with you for long either. -

After chatting playfully, he took the payment documents and went out of the office.

Step by step, -

After finishing my conversation at the cafe, I headed straight to the court office. As soon as I entered, Dahee was already there, as if she'd been waiting for me.

남진혁

What are you doing now… .

Dahee, who had been sitting in Jinhyeok's seat with her arms crossed, stood up with a faint smile.

The staff around Dang-Hui Dang avoided the area while keeping an eye on the relationship between Da-Hee and Jin-Hyeok.

Squeak, -

남진혁

Mother-in-law. What are you doing now…?

최다희

My son-in-law said he'd come to work. What's wrong?

It seemed like he had heard Hyeji's story.

최다희

You. Did you meet Doyeoju today?

남진혁

…it’s none of your mother-in-law’s business.

남진혁

We had a contract marriage anyway.

남진혁

I don't know what kind of deal went on between my father and mother-in-law, but I'm just their scapegoat.

최다희

Does that mean you're going to get a divorce? lol.

Without denying the question, he slowly nodded, putting his hands in his pockets.

남진혁

Yes, I will if I can.

남진혁

And I have no intention of being manipulated by my father anymore…

Crack, -

The cold air from the palm of his hand touched my cheek, and soon after, my head turned away, my gaze falling to the floor.

최다희

That cheeky bastard… .

Jinhyuk raised his head and let out a series of empty laughter, perhaps because he was so shocked by being slapped.

남진혁

Your daughter, you're not very attractive as a woman.

남진혁

When I see him running to his mother and complaining that he didn't receive love, he looks even less attractive.

최다희

…what?. Who doesn’t have charm?.

남진혁

Seeing you being proud of what you have and then using it to harm others, you're just like your mother-in-law.

남진혁

Let me make it clear today: Don't ever come to work again.

남진혁

If this happens, I will want to expose my mother-in-law's corruption and submit my resignation.

At the mere mention of the word corruption, Dahee's face turned pale and she spoke loudly.

최다희

Shut up!, if you dare do that... I won't stay still either!!.

남진혁

I have nothing to lose.

남진혁

If you're done speaking, please leave now. I have work to do.

He reached out and pushed Dahee's back, pushing her out of the office, then leaned her back against the door and stared into space.

Squeak, -

남진혁

… Even at this very moment, I miss you so much.

남진혁

Please help me….
