Sungjin stayed behind at the company. His goal was to manage the panicked executives and clean up the aftermath of the incident. Unlike Lee Hyuk, Sungjin had strong relationships with the regular employees, so he also needed to reassure them during this chaotic time.

“But Director,” Secretary Yoo began hesitantly, “is it really okay to just give Chun Hyesung Executive Director Choi’s home address like that… and send him off alone?”

"Director, please try to prevent any bigger incidents from happening within the company while the CEO is bedridden. You're the only one who can handle and stop what's happening inside right now."

After saying this, Hyesung had taken the address and walked out of the office without a moment's hesitation. Even though Yoo had seen his confident stride, he couldn’t help but feel concerned. Who knew what kind of person might be behind Choi, and what schemes they might be planning?

“Hm… Secretary Yoo, it might not be the best time to say this, but… you know that Lee Hyuk and I used to be gangsters, right?”

“Yes, sir,” Secretary Yoo replied without much surprise. Although Taesung had started as a gangster-run company, it was still cleaner than many other companies that exploited their employees with corruption and injustice.

The past couldn’t be erased, but Yoo was someone who believed the present mattered just as much. After all, he had joined Taesung because he saw a vision for the company’s future.

“Hyesung was with us back then too.”@@novelbin@@

“Really? From that time?”

It was hard to believe that someone as delicate and pale as Hyesung could have associated with gangsters. For a moment, Yoo wondered if Lee Hyuk and Sungjin might have exploited him for labor, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

“Lee Hyuk was the boss, but none of us dared to mess with Hyesung.”

“What? Why?”

“Not just me and Lee Hyuk, but everyone else too—we were all scared of Hyesung, in different ways.”
