A Madman in Love

The fact that Team Leader Moo Sehoon had contacted her directly meant that the matter was serious.

Moreover, he had set the meeting place at an external café rather than at Hyesung Group.

That meant it was a matter requiring secrecy.

Is it about Seo Jaehee and me?

Assuming it was an order from the chairwoman, Suin immediately responded.

—I’m on my way.

As she pressed her lips together and left the executive director’s office, she received an ill-timed call from Professor Seo Seongyeok.

[Suin.]

"Yes, professor."

Suin tensed, thinking, So it really is about the two of us.

[Jaehee was discharged a little while ago and went straight to Hyesungga. I just wanted to let you know.]

"Thank you, professor."

It was an unnecessary worry.

Feeling relieved by Seo Seongyeok’s gentle consideration, Suin let out a small breath.

However, he didn’t end the call immediately. He had another purpose.

[Suin… you wouldn’t be able to stop by Hyesungga after work, would you?]

She flinched but tried to keep her voice emotionless.

"No."

[Hmm, I see…]

Sounding disappointed, he smacked his lips before carefully asking,

[You’re really leaving?]

"Yes, professor."

[Can’t you reconsider? Forget Jaehee for a moment. The chairwoman’s been looking unwell lately. I think it’s because she’s struggling with the thought of letting you go…]

"I’m sorry, professor."
