49. The man who can't be mine
Jiheon's feet stopped at the sound of Noon's voice.
When Noon confessed that she was a single mother, Eunbi's expression suddenly darkened.
"ah... ... Are you a single mother? sorry. I didn't know that until now... ... ."
Even that apology must have been a calculated action.
"it's okay. There's nothing to be sorry about. I don't think it's a bad thing. As the manager said, she has a pretty daughter."
"As expected, Assistant Manager Lee is cool. Have courage. If it were me, he wouldn't have made that decision. Anyway, I hope you are happy that your child is so pretty. "You are truly amazing."
Noon felt like laughing at Eunbi's sad smile that seemed to pity him, but he didn't show it.
There was an awkward silence in the office. The members of the 1st production team who had stood up and were watching Noon quietly looked away.
Assistant Manager Go Eun-ju frowned displeased and glanced at Eun-bi. Ki-hoon was dazed for a moment and then looked at Noon with a worried expression.
Noon looked at Jiheon. The facial expression showing no emotion made us guess the end again.
Team leader Seong Mi-ran quickly figured out how to resolve this situation and chased after Ji-heon.
"Director, I have something to tell you about PT. "Are you okay for a moment?"
"Let's go."
Ji-heon readily took the lead in Mi-ran's request for a meeting. Even though the sound of his footsteps was getting farther away, Noon felt like a nail was being driven into his heart with every step he took.
"Sir, are you going home? I'll give you a ride. song."
After a while, Kihoon spoke reassuringly.
"Uh, okay. thank you."
Kihoon even carried Noon's bag for her.
Ji-heon went to the office with team leader Seong Mi-ran.
Miran was surprised that Jiheon just walked away without checking what kind of business he had. Moreover, Jiheon's steps were strangely slow and heavy, as if he had iron beads attached to his ankles and as if his mind was somewhere else.
Jiheon silently opened the office door with slow steps and guided Miran inside. He stood holding the door to his office.
"Director, none other than Manager Chae Eun-bi in this PT... ... ."
"Just wait a moment. wait for a sec."
As Miran was about to speak, Jiheon reopened the door he had tried to close and spoke. Without any time to stop her, Ji-heon left her office, leaving only Mi-ran behind.
Unlike when I was heading to the office, I walked faster. Ji-heon walked with long strides and reached the production team 2 office. After seeing that the noon seat was empty, he went out immediately.
When the 9th floor door opened, a sound was heard from the front of the elevator.
"Are you okay, sir?"
"of course."
It was Ki-hoon's worried voice and Noon's relatively calm voice.
"Then I'm glad. "Wow, I'm angry."
"Why is Mr. Ki-hoon so upset?"
"Chief Chae Eun-bi, you're really mean. "I haven't seen it that far."
"... ... ."
