Soo-ah fell silent for a moment.

Why was Kim Sun-ah suddenly bringing this up?

She had a vague idea but also wondered—would someone who had already found a partner and gotten engaged really go that far?

“I was doing both jobs until recently. My position eventually shifted entirely to the secretary role.”

“…So the rumors were true. I heard they formed an entire team just to guard a certain Young Master.”

“That’s me.”

“Wow… As expected of the Go family’s Young Master. That’s really incredible….”

Kim Sun-ah even gave a small round of applause, though her reaction seemed exaggerated.

“I’ve seen cases where one or two officers were placed in promising departments, but relocating an entire team? That’s a first for me…!”

“You seem very interested.”

“Oh… It’s just that it’s such an unusual situation… Haha.”

“….”

Soo-ah narrowed her eyes slightly.

Kim Sun-ah looked flustered, licking her lips to moisten them as she tried to smile.

“So… how’s the job? I heard Prestige is ridiculously demanding….”

“It’s tough, but the rewards make it worth it.”

“Really? That’s good to hear. I mean, as your senior—ah, does it feel weird if I call myself that?”

“Hah… Why are you acting so humble? It’s suffocating. Just be yourself. We’re not strangers.”

“Come on~. Things are different now. You’re not my subordinate anymore.”

“….”

“Anyway, I’m glad you’re doing well. Honestly, I was worried when you suddenly left. You were one of my favorites, after all.”

“You don’t need to worry. I’m doing more than fine.”

“Uh, uh-huh. That’s good to hear.”

The conversation stalled.

It was clear Kim Sun-ah wanted something but was hesitating to say it.@@novelbin@@

She hadn’t been like this before.

Back then, she had been bolder—someone who wore a gentle smile but always pushed through to get her way.
