Joon-Seob added with a frown,
“This is an important project. Don’t mix your personal feelings.”
Minkyung clenched her teeth, but quickly managed to relax her expression and defended herself,
“I would never do it.”
“My girl told me that I should be a promotional model for TK. Isn’t it funny? I’m a model in her eyes. But I don’t feel like one, I would feel uncomfortable.”
He said in other words that Tae Lee-Seob, the man she had always disliked and suddenly fell in love with, was just a model in her eyes. Minkyung was silent for a moment as if she couldn’t open her mouth.
She seemed to take the hint, so he immediately continued,
“Do you know that Director Tae Lee-Seob has a phobia of flashes?”
“He said he’ll be fine.”
“Ha, it’s no surprise.”
He didn’t need to be clearer, it was obvious that he meant that his recklessness was no surprise.
Minkyung replied firmly,
“The editor-in-chief of W Fashion magazine was the one who saw potential in him as a model for a photo shoot, not me. He has worked hard on his physique over the last month. This idea was never ruled out, I just needed his approval for me to take care of the rest. I understand that for TK Electronics it may seem improvised. However, I promise you that it will be beneficial for both parties.”
Joon-Seob seemed to find it funny.
“The editor-in-chief of W Fashion magazine isn’t… your friend? Your housemate for 15 years, editor Lee See-ah. She will benefit from the photo shoot no matter what the outcome is. She won’t care about the impact it will have on our collaborative project or our corporate image.”
Minkyung exhaled slowly.
‘He must have done all this research today. That must be the real reason he didn’t call me until this hour.’
“I’m the one who seeks to benefit, not editor Lee See-ah. I hope you don’t misunderstand that point. If you want we can do it with another fashion magazine.”
“You don’t need to do that, Senior Manager Kang.”
“Director Joon-Seob, I assure you that we will not ruin the collaboration that TK Electronics has promoted so far…”
“Okay, but how do I know it’s not crazy? Who am I supposed to trust? Senior Manager Kang? Or Director Tae Lee-Seob? Can either of you two make a sensible decision in your current position?”
Minkyung bit her lower lip hard,
“I’ve always made sensible decisions, and this one is no exception.”
“This project represents a lot for TK Fashion, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it’s TK Fashion’s chance to shine again. If we succeed, the chairman will be extremely pleased.”
“Senior Manager Kang, you’re a bad person.”
It was an unexpected criticism. Minkyung looked at Joon-Seob with a puzzled expression, as if she had been hit on the head.
“I heard that the one who told the chairman about the unconventional photo shoot plan was not Director Tae Lee-Seob, but you. Poor him.”
Joon-Seob’s words were a mixture of truth and misunderstanding. If she wanted to clarify what happened, she would have no choice but to reveal her personal relationship with Lee-Seob. However, that wouldn’t happen.
