Chapter 104. I Give You The Moon (7)

Several hours after he returned to his office, Lee-Seob leaned back in his chair. Since he took on the role as Director of TK Fashion, he has had too many stories to listen to and decisions to make every day. He felt like he was on a remote cliff or trapped in an endless abyss. It was overwhelming and scary.

At that moment, his office phone rang.

“Yes.”

— Director, you should leave now if you want to make it to your dinner appointment. Do you want to reschedule it?

Minkyung’s voice made the tension in his head instantly ease, as if it had supplied him with oxygen.

‘It’s true that it’s a hard task, but at least I’m not alone. Kang Minkyung is by my side.’

— Director?

Concern was evident in Minkyung’s voice.

‘If I say I feel sick, she’ll rush in, right? Maybe she’ll touch my forehead like last night, and then put her hand on my neck to make sure I don’t have a fever.’

Lee-Seob liked to play pranks on her, but he decided not to this time.

“I’ll be right out.”

— Yes, Director. I’ll have Driver Kim wait for you at the main entrance.

Lee-Seob slowly put on his jacket. He didn’t want to attend this appointment. He would rather have dinner with Minkyung and go home, but he couldn’t cancel tonight’s plan.

When he left his office, Minkyung stood up from her seat to formally say goodbye. It was fine to keep a clear line between work and personal life, but he felt there was no need for her to be so distant.

Lee-Seob stood in front of her. Minkyung waited demurely for instructions, so he found it awkward to even crack a joke. In fact, he almost felt more comfortable when their relationship was strictly professional. In the end, Lee-Seob casually said,

“Senior Manager Kang, you should go home.”

He was about to say that he would call her after his appointment was over, but he didn’t want to sound like she had to wait for his call. It would be nice if he could tell her a specific time, but these kinds of appointments were unpredictable. Before Lee-Seob could choose the right words, she replied,

“I’ll finish some more work and then I’ll go home.”

“Why don’t you leave it for tomorrow?”

‘She must be tired… Hmm…’

“Actually, I’m waiting for a call from the Director of TK Electronics. I requested an urgent meeting about the GV collaboration, but his schedule was full. He said he could meet briefly after work, and I’ve received a message that he’s working late.”

Lee-Seob frowned deeply.

“You mean Tae Joon-Seob?”

Minkyung nodded.

‘Why the hell with that bastard? Who does he think he is to make her wait all day?’

He was quite upset.

“Do you really have to meet Tae Joon-Seob today?”

“It is important that I meet with him so that we can have more advanced discussions with my friend, the editor-in-chief of W Fashion magazine. Time is short. The interview with GV’s Patrick Faubert, added to your photo shoot, represents a considerable effort for them, due to their busy schedule. It will be necessary to coordinate times and contribute to the preparation. And about collaboration… ”

Lee-Seob raised his hand to stop her, unable to contain his growing annoyance.

“Okay, do as you see fit. Talk to Director Tae Joon-Seob.”

“I’ll do my best to reflect your thoughts in the process. I’ll prepare a report immediately after the meeting.”

A helpless smile appeared on Lee-Seob’s face.
