Was it not an exaggeration to say that this place was as important as the headquarters that was given when I finally left the mansion with a finished lunch box?

I had deliberately accompanied Ha-young to prepare for this situation, but despite this, I was only able to arrive at the 8th floor, where the party office was located, after passing through the triple-layered gates of the building entrance, information desk, and security checkpoint.

“The procedures are very tight.”

“Well… I wonder if there is any company that doesn’t consider security important, because in the case of pharmaceutical companies, even a single piece of information leaked can often be fatal.”

As I walked steadily while having a long conversation with Hayoung, I was finally able to see him.

The purple shining hair that my eyes have now become completely accustomed to.

Is it because I am so focused on work?

Tang Xiaoxiao’s body was naturally tilted forward, towards the desk. It seemed like the reason they hadn’t found us yet was because of that.

That was why, contrary to the small talk, I shushed the employees who seemed preoccupied with glancing at me and Ha-young.

Although it was inevitable that he would get caught at some point anyway, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to give him a little surprise that it had come to this.

It was not just anyone else, but the person in charge who was so shocked that his eyes were wide open.

Considering her usual personality, it was bound to be a very rare sight, and I don’t know if that was why, but one of the employees naturally took on the role of collaborator.

Knock-!

“Hmm, team leader? Guest has arrived.”

Dang So-so, who had been burying his face in his desk the whole time, probably reacted to the employee’s voice that rang out along with the knock, and raised his head for the first time.

“Are you a guest? I don’t have any special plans todayㅡ”

Then, when he saw me and Ha-young smiling brightly, he stopped mid-sentence.

For a moment, I had a hard time understanding why we were here.

Tang Soso’s eyes narrowed and then returned to their original state repeatedly.

He spread his arms wide and shook the three-tiered lunch box he was holding in his hand in front of Dang So-so, who was struggling to understand the situation.

It roughly had two meanings.

One of them was that I brought a special lunch box because I felt like I was just picking up grass and stuff that didn’t have anything to eat…

The other thing was that since there were so many ‘other people’ around me, I should have done what I had to do.

Of the two, did you recognize the latter one first?

After a moment of frowning with a slight force between his eyebrows, Tang Soso finally got up from his seat with a sigh. It was right after that that a soft and squeaky feeling came into my arms.

At the same time, I heard a loud sighing sound coming from somewhere, but I ignored it. I completely ignored it… and hugged Dangsoso, who had calmly crawled into my arms.

For a moment, I used both my arms so tightly that I couldn’t breathe.

“ugh….❤️”

“You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right? I made a packed lunch, so let’s eat it together.”

Did I feel like I had to nod because my arms were literally pressing down on my body from all sides? Dang So-so, who had been shaking his body while trapped in my arms, finally nodded.

The speed was so slow that it felt like I was actually seeing a new woman being held in the arms of the Lord.

*****

As I have said several times, Dangsoso occupies a quite special position within the Sichuan Group.

An appearance that goes beyond simply being beautiful and has a story that makes you feel like you want to be that person’s strength.

In addition to her beauty, she has outstanding work ability and a relatively(?) upright personality.

Those factors naturally placed Dang Soso at the top of the Sichuan Group, but as is often the case with those who are called the best, she was always a flower on a cliff that bloomed in an unreachable place.

Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t people who challenged her along the way.

Because ambitious people are bound to exist everywhere.

It wasn’t much different within the Sacheon Group, and everyone from those who simply fell in love with her appearance to those with ambitions who dreamed of becoming a male version of the Cinderella myth challenged her…

Each time, Tang Soso clearly showed why the flowers on the cliff were the flowers on the cliff.

It was definitely like that until now…

‘Did the team leader… hug you? To a man…?’

‘Kaaah!!! That’s not my party leader!!!!!!’

‘It was true that the team leader had a man?’

The scene created by Su-hyeon’s hands was enough to shock the employees of Development Team 2.

Our team leader, who was the epitome of cool and beauty in the world, looks like such a sexy girl. Has he even learned the famous magic trick? So you used that to make the team leader look like that?

What is it? Please tell me that too.

No, that’s the part. Even so, what did that guy just say?

You made a lunch box? You didn’t buy it?

In today’s world, where the term “homemade hamburger” has become a vulgar joke and the taste of mom’s cooking has come to mean the cooking skills of the scrap metal guy working at home, what is homemade cooking?

They said they were meeting each other, but that man seemed to be a unique type, just like the team leader.

Otherwise, in this day and age, there would be no way to hold an event like something out of an old drama, such as making your own lunch box and making a surprise visit to your girlfriend’s workplace.

However, one thing I was certain about during this time was that, apart from that fact, I was honestly a bit jealous.

‘I guess I’ll try asking my boyfriend to do it later…’

‘Is it okay? ‘I’ll give that drunkard a shit.’

‘This bitch? ‘What did you just say?’

At that very moment when the employees under his command were feeling a strange sense of envy, what was Tang Soso feeling…

Instead of gratitude or surprise, I felt a much stronger sense of embarrassment.

It was true that it was almost time to eat dinner.

With that in mind, I was thankful that I made a lunch box like this on purpose.

It’s true that there are things to be thankful for, and there are things to be grateful for… but apart from that, it seems difficult to talk about the things in the lunch box.

It wasn’t something I was reluctant to do because it was made by a man himself.

If that was the reason, I wouldn’t have touched the things that came on the table in the first place.

Rather than a problem with Soo-hyeon… it was a problem with her. To be more precise, should I say that it is a matter of the heart?

Because she watched the entire process of cooking the things that were on the table in the morning from start to finish, she was able to speak about them without difficulty despite her long-term trauma.

But, honestly, it was difficult to be sure about the things inside the lunch box that Su-hyeon was holding in her hands.

So… it was difficult to be sure that I wouldn’t gag in front of Suhyeon.

That’s why I was embarrassed.

The problem was that it was difficult to refuse as coldly as I had in the morning.

Even if he acts as if he doesn’t care about such things, that man must have some respect for his face, but he’s blatantly rejecting his favor in front of so many people?

The moment you act like that, your relationship with Soo-hyeon will immediately fall apart.

She plans to get revenge on Soo-hyeon someday, but that isn’t what she wants to do right now.

“First of all… let’s move our seats. This is a place made for working, not a place for eating.”

“Then, where to…?”

“···There is a lounge nearby.”

As if he had completely forgotten that there was a lot of work that had to be done today, he decided to do something about the people who were staring at him with bright eyes that made him feel burdened.

At least if there were fewer eyes to see, it would at least be easier to make judgments than it is now.

So, I suggested moving to a nearby employee lounge/terrace…

“···Isn’t everyone working? There must still be a lot of documents left that need to be processed and handed over by today, right?”

“Hmm, I worked non-stop and my head got a little mushy.”

“Actually, so am I!”

Did he feel immensely interested in the fact that his immediate supervisor’s lover was visiting the company? A few people tried to catch up, making excuses that didn’t work.

Of course, of course, she used the powerful authority given to her as Development Team Leader 2 to kick everyone’s butts and send them back to their original positions.

Of course, there were people who couldn’t do that.

It was none other than Hayoung.

“···Are you going to keep following me too?”

“Huh? me? Are you really going to kick me out too? I helped make this too, right?”

Are you still planning on kicking me out?

Su-hyeon, who couldn’t see Ha-young saying that, joined in with a puzzled look on her face.

“What kind of helping… Didn’t you just keep taking things from the side and hindering others?”

“Oh, that’s because I checked the seasoning to make sure it wasn’t too salty or too sweet.”

“Ugh… I can’t even speak.”

The fact that bickering with Su-hyeon was so natural was a little annoying, but the way he spoke made it seem like he had no intention of backing down easily.

So what can we do?

I have no choice but to tolerate Hayoung.

It must have been the moment when I entered the single-family employee lounge with a radish radish beside me.

Except for Hayoung, there is no one in particular to look at. Now, I was really thinking of refusing, so I was quietly choosing my words, but…

“Well… I didn’t know what I would like, so I just made everything I could…”

The lid of the lunch box was opened by the man’s hand along with the sound of ‘bpop!’

“If you think it’s too much, you can leave it. Because I made it generously on purpose.”

What flowed into his nostrils along with that was… an indescribably violent scent.

The scent… my head, which had been spinning around trying to find words of rejection that could at least sound benign, turned pure white.

“Who… did what?”

“Well, that’s Miss Soso…”

“I guess I should eat dinner in Kowloon City tonight.”

“Yes…?”

“Turn the car around. Right now.”
