Sir, do you like me?

18 | Asking for a date

이여주

OS company... CEO Oh Sang-jin... was investigating TD Group... got caught by the TD Group CEO.... haha

이여주

Wow, if we hand this over to the reporters, the company's image is going to get really damaged, right? Haha.

오상진

...........

오상진

....Haa...., well.....

이여주

Cut the lame excuses,

이여주

Just tell me, the reason for the background check

오상진

.......Just....nothing in particular...

이여주

Why are you investigating someone else's company for no reason?

이여주

Huh..., I thought CEO Oh only lacked business ethics, but...

이여주

[Smile] You don't even have a thought.

오상진

...........

오상진

I apologize for this matter.

오상진

But please listen to me.

이여주

I don't have anything to hear from you, CEO Oh.

오상진

This is a story about CEO Park Ji-min.

이여주

....Haa...., whether it's CEO Park Jimin's story or whatever

이여주

I don't want to hear it from you.

이여주

All trust has already been lost.

이여주

Why should I listen to your side of the story?

오상진

[Ignore] What is your relationship with CEO Park Jimin?

이여주

....We are just business partners.

...For some reason, I feel like I shouldn't say that I like you....,

오상진

*Chuckle* ...Just... business partners... something like that?

오상진

I don't think it's CEO Park Ji-min.

오상진

[Smile] I met with CEO Park Jimin today.... haha

...That person... I wonder what they blabbered to Jimin...

이여주

What do you want to say?

Oh Sang-jin giving an unpleasant smile as if finding it interesting

오상진

Haha... the power of love is truly amazing.

오상진

Whether you have money...or not, whether you have the ability...or not,

오상진

Because everything is bound to crumble in the face of 'love'.

이여주

..........

이여주

..Why.. do you think I would love Representative Park?

오상진

Well, haha, we'll have to wait and see.

이여주

Stop talking nonsense and use that time to focus more on managing the company.

이여주

This is my final advice.

이여주

...there should be no more harm done to TD Corporation and JM Corporation.

Oh Sang-jin stands up with his signature bright smile.

오상진

[Smile] ..Then, I'll just say this one last thing.

오상진

CEO Park... don't trust him too much, lol.

Bang _

It was Oh Sang-jin leaving the office with those words behind.

The female protagonist runs her hand through her hair, as if calming her angry heart.

이여주

...Gasp..., seriously, I've seen it all in my life....

Ding -]

JM Corporation CEO Park Ji-min | Yeoju, are you available for a quick talk right now?

이여주

Tilts head-] ....Is... something wrong?

The female lead calls Jimin immediately.

Turrrrr _

Turrrrrr

Click

박지민

- ....Ah, Yeoju!.....heh

이여주

- .....Is... something wrong?

이여주

Your voice sounds weak.

박지민

- .....I don't think I'm the only one?

They probably both did that because they were dealing with Oh Sang-jin.

이여주

- ......Jimin,

박지민

- ....Huh? Heh. Why?

이여주

Do you want to have a drink with me today?

이여주

Ah... no particular meaning.

이여주

Because Jimin gave me strength before.

이여주

- ...thinking of it as paying off a debt ...,

박지민

- H.... Is this a date request?

이여주

- .....Won't...accept... me?

박지민

No, will you accept it?

박지민

Actually, I was feeling really bad earlier.

박지민

I feel really good right now because of you, Yeoju, heh.

이여주

- Ahem... If that were the case!... That's a relief.

이여주

- ....Then I'll contact you later, Jimin.

박지민

Yeah, haha. See you later this evening.

Drip _

이여주

..........

Didn't I agree to draw a line with Jimin?

이여주

Ahem... but still, this!... because Jimin was in a bad mood...

이여주

Because Jimin gave me strength before!...

이여주

[Nods] Right, someone who doesn't know gratitude is a shameless human being.

Hmm, I'm not that kind of person.

That was the female protagonist who 'self-rationalized' herself.

+ Um... it's kind of like denial of becoming a fan... *cough*

° At that time, Jimin,

박지민

[Excited] Heh... To think you asked me out on a date first

박지민

I already... miss you...? Heh

Gulp

전정국

CEO, did you finish the call...

전정국

..........

박지민

Jeong-gu... heh. Looks like big brother succeeded... heh.

전정국

....Did Representative Lee make a prior appointment?

박지민

Yeah, yeah! Isn't it totally awesome? Heh.

전정국

....When are we seeing each other?

박지민

Tonight!!......heh

전정국

...Grin-]

전정국

Then you have to work, bro.

박지민

Heh... Is that the problem right now? I'm telling you, Yeoju asked me out on a date first!

전정국

............

전정국

............Crack-]

전정국

I didn't even do a quarter of the total work today, you know?

전정국

...Representative Lee or whatever, if we can't finish all the work today

전정국

[Sigh] I'm going to work overtime with my brother today.

박지민

...Hey..., you shouldn't have joked like that...

전정국

I'm no joke.

전정국

If you want to meet Representative Lee, finish this quickly.

Bang!

Jungkook leaving the office like that

박지민

[Shakes head] ...I raised him wrong... Jeon Jungkook ..

박지민

.....Back in the day..., you were like a rabbit... and cute ..

Gulp

전정국

I can hear everything, so stop whining and get to work, bro.

박지민

Okay!... I'm going to do it.

전정국

......tsk ,

Tak _

It was Jungkook who left, clicking his tongue like that.

Nooo... I heard Fanple isn't doing much work these days...

I also get kicked out every time I try to join Fanplay,

I've noticed quite a few readers saying they aren't receiving production notifications...😭

So if you write in the comments asking me to let you know!

I'll reply when the next chapter comes out 🤗🤗

Since Fanple isn't doing their job, I guess I'll have to do it myself... *sigh*
