Secret Weddings

Chapter 7. Caring for wife

Meeting room, large building Chae-gu Group.

Performance Assessment Meeting.

Thanks to Chae Eun's brilliant idea of becoming a much-needed manufacturer of health equipment in the midst of this pandemic, FreshChae has stabilized, and even employee salaries have returned to normal without any cuts.

"Wahhhh our director is indeed very brilliant. How can you think of producing health supplies, Director?" Praise the shareholders.

"When did I disappoint you?" Tukas Chae Eun, cold.

The shareholders gave their compliments. They had forgotten that the Director of the Chae-gu Group branch was not like pleasantries, or praise. —pahat Chae Eun often praised herself—

"Yes, this Director of ours never disappoints" the uncle, Chae Hyungho, chimed in.

"That's because I'm my father's son. Imagine if I were someone else's child, I would always disappoint" Chae Eun said, referring to her uncle's son, Chae Su. Chae Su was entrusted with managing another Chae-gu Group subsidiary, Chae Food. However, since he served as a director there, plus the pandemic period, Chae Food gradually began to experience a crisis.

Chae Su who was also there almost got angry if not for her father holding her back.

"Be quiet, he's just trying to lure you into looking bad in front of the shareholders" whispered his father.

Chae Su obeyed her father's words not to be provoked by Chae Eun. "Maybe the company gets a lot of profit and stable. However, instead of the usual praise that Chae-gu Group always gets, many people criticize that Chae-gu took advantage of this plague disaster, even many who wrote bad comments on the official web," hardik Chae Su, trying to corner Chae Eun.

"Are you able to buy a car, a luxury apartment, and also have fun with the sexy models, it's all because of the compliments?" Chae Eun was cold. "No, right? That's all you got because of the profit I got. So, why do you care about compliments? Ckckck really said it was the opposite of your lifestyle, you obviously need more money than compliments."

Chae Eun's words get a lot of agreeable response from the shareholders.

'Damn it! Did he intentionally lure me in this way?' Dengus Chae Su in heart.

Chae Eun glanced at her watch, gosh! It's time! I'm late!

"I'm really sorry to have to say this but, I'm so busy, so I'll go first." Chae Eun got out of her place, and left the meeting room.

"He's obviously very disrespectful" whispered Park Na Hee, a 5 percent shareholder of Chae-gu Group.

"But still the performance was excellent," Han Byul, whispered. "For what courtesy if not profitable at all," he glanced at Chae Su. Chae Su was polite. However, it is only a guise to take the hearts of shareholders.

"Father, it seems that Chae Eun's words have a strong impact on shareholders" whispered Chae Su who felt she was being talked about.

The father just kept quiet. He felt that Chae Eun was harder to handle than his father, and it would be difficult for him to seat Chae Su as president at the presidential election meeting in five months. 'He must have his own gap'. Thought Hyungho.

Freshchae Building.

"Director, how is the meeting—"

#brakkkk

Jessica was stunned for a moment when Chae Eun passed by her, and entered her work room just like that.

"Why is that kid again? Did the meeting go well?" Jessica thought, she immediately left her desk, and walked into Chae Eun's study.

"Director, why are you in such a hurry? Did the meeting go well?" Ask Jessica. "Where are you going, director?" Jessica's question was sidetracked after seeing Chae Eun change her clothes, and also her shoes in a casual style.

"Later the story, I'm in a hurry" Chae Eun said, contacting someone.

"Hello, where are you?" Chae Eun asked the person she was calling, as she walked out of her study.

"Where do you want to move? Do you have a home? Just so you know, the apartment that you acknowledge as your home is still in my name," said the Director, Im Taehyung.

Jin Ji clenched his hands tightly until his finger books stood out —trying to hold back his emotions that way—

Patience Jin Ji, be patient.

Furious in his heart, Jin Ji was forced to display a smile on his face for the Director.

"Yes, I know. Everything I have right now belongs to the Director, I'm self-conscious. I am what is good? Only a nut actor can succeed without the help of a director" Jin Ji praised. But in his heart he cursed. 'Damn it! Goddamnit! The Director's base doesn't know himself! A fraud! Everything yours?! You're greedy, you can have a fancy car, and fight over a girl band because my hard work knows!'.

"Finally you know yourself too" said the Director, making Seok Woo who was there also feel upset. 'Damn you Im Taehyung! You shameless man!'. Seok Woo in his heart.

"But where do you want to move? You know, it would be better for you to stay in the officetel" the director said.

Okay what? Good for you, so you can control me, and watch me as you please. Thought Jin Ji.

"Not so, the problem now is that many media outlets are reporting that the Director is too children-packed me, and ignored Hae Jun sunbae. Therefore, for the good name of the Director, I think it would be better if I leave the officetel, so that the media does not spread news that can damage the Director's good name," obviously Jin Ji who was almost ninety percent full of lies, the rest of him was telling the truth about Hae Jun. Before Jin Ji became famous, Hae Jun was the Director's favorite actor. However, after Jin Ji was more successful than Hae Jun, the director became like ignoring Hae Jun.

Im Taehyung, the director. Seemed thinking. 'If I let him leave the officetel, then it will be difficult to keep an eye on him but, if I let him there, the rumors about me ignoring Hae Jun will definitely get worse. Although Jin Ji is now more famous than Hae Jun, but Hae Jun's fans are very solid, they will definitely demo me'.

"Alright, then it's up to you but, never once have you not told me. Whatever you're gonna do out there has to be with my permission, okay?!" Tukas Taehyung after thinking long.

Still with a forced smile, Jin Ji said, "of course, Director. Then I leave first, there's still a schedule I need to finish." Jin Ji bowed respectfully, after which he left his Director's office along with Seok Woo.

"Don't that suck? You held it in good stead" said Seok Woo, who made Jin Ji's steps stop, and the forced smile he had been keeping now faded.

Previously, Jin Ji had decided to leave Taehyung's agency. However, unexpectedly Taehyung dropped a penalty that really did not make sense. Jin Ji had to pay a penalty of ten billion won if he wanted to leave the agency.

Seok Woo let out a long breath. "If that's the case, then shouldn't we report Taehyung to the police? The price of the penalty is absolutely insane! He must have blackmailed you, "seok Woo said.

"You think I didn't think about it, brother?" Jin Ji sounded weak. "I've thought about it a thousand times but, you know why I didn't."

"But it's a trap, you're not wrong at all, Jin-ah. And again you had nothing to do with your parents' case, so you...,"

"It's not that simple. You also know that, brother," Jin Ji interrupted, leaving Seok Woo speechless.

'Really! It's not that simple but, until when does Jin have to continue like this?' Thought Seok Woo.

Seok Woo let out a long sigh, "do you want me to help you pack things?" He switched the conversation.

"no need. After all, everything in the officetel is not mine" Jin Ji replied.

"All right, it's up to you. Where are we going now? Your schedule for today is over. Do you want to go to the officetel first, or...,"

"Sister, you just go home. I'm going to go alone" Jin Ji interrupted, wearing a mask and a black hat, and then he ran away leaving Seok Woo."

'Great, I'm late' whispered Jin Ji, glancing at his watch.

GRAMY AEDI-YA BOOKSTORE

Launch of the last One Please book

Jin Ji circulated his gaze, and found the book he coveted was still one.

'Thank God. That must be for me'. Jin Ji ran over to the book, about to pick it up when someone else picked it up.

"Yes, I'm the one who saw i..," Jin Ji fell silent when he found out who was fighting over the book with him.

Chae Eun's?

"Who quickly did he get!" Tukas Chae Eun's. "Then let go of your hands right now!" Declared.

"Can't be so! I'm the first one to see this, you're the one who's ruling me!" Jin Ji Sahut.

"I? I'm the son of President Chae, a conglomerate! So give me this book!" Tukas Chae Eun's.

"Why should I give you, who are you, huh?!"

"I told you! I'm the son of president Chae, the son of a conglomerate!"

'God! This woman really! Is he seriously going to keep calling his father that?' Thought Jin Ji.

"Just the son of a conglomerate, who cares!" Tukas Jin Ji's.

"Of course you should care! I'm the son of President Chae, a conglomerate who's been involved in the country's economic progress, okay?!" Chae Eun Sahut.

'He was really serious about carrying his father's name. Ckckck'. Jin Ji snorted in his heart.

"Who are you to not care about my status, huh? Wear a mask all over again, are you an artist?!" Chae Eun pulls Jin Ji's mask, which accidentally also makes Jin Ji's hat come off.

"You.." Chae Eun was silent for a moment when she found out that the man she was fighting over books with was Jin Ji. Husband himself.

"Yes! You're crazy, aren't you? What if people see me, huh?" Omel Jin Ji, whispered.

"What would happen if they saw you?" Ask Chae Eun.

"Of course they'll swarm over me, and I need to get out of this place immediately" Jin Ji explained.

"Oh so." Chae Eun let out a long breath. Then, "EVERYTHING LOOK, THERE'S ACTOR JIN JI HERE!!" He shouted, making the people around him look at Jin Ji, and then started running towards him.

"Fuck you, Miss Chae Eun!!!"

"Who told you to fight with me?! You better get out of here quickly" Chae Eun suggested.

"Aishhh." Jin Ji quickly ran away from the bookstore with the horde of people who kept chasing him.

"Hahahaha feel!" Chae Eun Laughter. He walked towards the cashier, and paid for the last one-please book of the series he had snatched from Jin Ji.

EPILOGUE

"Hello, where are you?" Chae Eun asks her interlocutor on the phone, Gura. A delivery service worker whose services are used by Chae Eun to buy the book One Please series last.

"Sorry, boss. I'm suddenly sick to my stomach."

"You mean?! You haven't bought me a one-please book?" Chae Eun sounded angry. Whereas previously Gura promised to meet Chae Eun at the Cafe to give her order book, as well as get paid for her book from Chae Eun.

"Sorry, boss."

"It sucks!" Bump Chae Eun before she turns off her phone. Then I have to hurry to the bookstore before the stock runs out!!
