Chapter 132. Let’s Date (2)

It was the famous photo of him in the blue jacket. Lee-Seob pushed the tablet away with his fingertips.

“Put that away. It’s embarrassing.”

“Really?”

Joon-Seob retracted the tablet and zoomed in on the photo so that only his wrist was visible.

“What’s the point?”

“This watch. It’s a GV watch, right? I heard it’s the latest model.”

“Yes, it’s not yet available in Korea. I had to order it from the French headquarters and received it just in time for the photo shoot.”

Joon-Seob smiled broadly.

“You’re certainly as sly as a fox.”

“Is that all you had to say?”

“Patrick Faubert replied.”

Joon-Seob switched the tablet screen to show the email sent by Patrick. As Lee-Seob eagerly read the email, a satisfied smile spread across his lips. Joon-Seob recited the last part of the email’s content from memory.

“… It’s a wonderful photo. The watch and jacket look great.  By the time the smartwatch from the collaboration between GV and TK is released, it would be nice to see him in some photos like that.”

Lee-Seob ran his hand across his lips, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

“Good job. I didn’t think you’d actually be able to stand in front of the camera.”

“It wasn’t my idea. If it were up to me, I would never have taken the step.”

“Whose idea was it?”

Lee-Seob looked up at Joon-Seob.

“Senior Manager Kang Minkyung?”

“If you already know, why ask?”

Joon-Seob raised an eyebrow and then lowered it,

“Senior Manager Kang is likely to receive a special promotion. This project was a tremendous success. True talent shines in times of crisis. She has proven it with this project. When the chairman decided to make her your assistant, he told me that he planned to promote her to deputy director next year, but apparently it will be sooner.”

“She is fully qualified to take on the role of deputy director at once. With her abilities, she could even become a director.”

“Senior Manager Kang is someone exceptional, so it’s only a matter of time before she gets it. Perhaps she’ll soon become the youngest female director in TK Group.”

‘Absolutely, Minkyung is incredibly talented.’

Lee-Seob felt extremely proud at Joon-Seob’s praise. He could barely suppress his smile as he avoided Joon-Seob’s sharp gaze. At that moment, Joon-Seob casually asked,

“If Senior Manager Kang gets the promotion, do you still plan to keep her as your assistant?”

“Um…”

It was an unexpected question. She would have to assume responsibilities appropriate to her new position, so she could not continue to assist him. He knew he should answer, but he didn’t dare say it.

“… Well, that’ll be decided when the time comes.”

Joon-Seob set the tablet aside and changed the subject.

“The dinners and meetings with Patrick Faubert will be jointly organized by TK Electronics and TK Fashion. You and the head of the wireless products unit must attend. I might join if the occasion calls for it. I don’t think it’s necessary, but it’s what TK Electronics prefers. I don’t think it’s necessary, but I’ll follow TK Electronics’ recommendations on this matter. I’ve handed the schedule over to Senior Manager Kang, so check it out.”

As Joon-Seob was about to wrap up the conversation, Lee-Seob suddenly asked,

“You’re getting ready for your wedding, right?”

“Yes. Thanks to you.”

“The sooner the better for you.”

Joon-Seob nodded. A sweet smile appeared on his lips as he thought about his fiancée, Yeon Wookyung.
