Chapter 48 (1/2)

Chapter 48 – Follow Me If You Can

‘This is good….!’

Somii smiled when she flipped to page 30.

This was a completely different style than Jaegun’s previous novels. It had a fast-paced story and others, so even though it was a heavy read, the book was great.

‘So that’s why it’s Dragon Rider. The main character rides a dragon. But really. Writer Ha… doesn’t make great t.i.tles… Maybe it’s just me?’

Only when she had to open the door with her fingerprint, did she stop reading

And then she sat down and started reading on the computer.

A bigger screen was better.

“Somii, you’re early?”

a.s.sistant Manager Lee said to her.

Somii answered while glancing away from the monitor.

“Ah, good morning.”

Lee was the person that she was most acquainted with in this company.

She had a friendly personality and didn’t do anything impolite.

Therefore, even with the 10-year gap, she was great friends with her.

“But a.s.sistant Manager Lee is here early too?”

“I have to come early until I understand the new work environment.”

Lee yawned and went to her seat.

She wanted to find the style of the new editor that was going to replace Tewon.

“Yeah, wasn’t a.s.sistant Manager Go really funny?”

Lee faced towards Somii and asked.

“He was really oily. He might be a personal a.s.sistant at this rate. If he could just work half as well as he can flatter. Why is he like that.”

“Haha.”

“StarBooks is on the decline. I don’t know why the representative is like this. His son, daughter, and son in law… Now it’s going to be the grandchildren too.”

“a.s.sistant Manager, your voice is a bit loud.

“What do I say? There’s only us. Ah, I don’t know.”

Lee went to get a cup of coffee.

Somii started reading the novel again. Lee asked as she pulled a cup of coffee next to Somii.

“What are you reading?”

“Ah, thank you. This is Writer Ha Jaegun’s new novel.”

“Writer Ha? A new novel?”

Lee blew her cheeks as she was surprised.

“The end of the 3rd book isn’t even close to being released? How did he write one with that short of time since the newest one?”

“Yes. It’s amazing. He wrote 3 books too.”

“Completely amazing. I’ve worked in different places for 7 years, but I’ve never seen a writer like him who writes this fast.”

“Yeah?”

“This isn’t personal, but is it a group? He might have a writing factory with 10 people at the same time?”

“I’ve been to his office, and it’s not like that. He types on his keyboard alone.”

Somii smiled and sipped a cup. The hot coffee and the aroma was amazing.

“So how is it?”

“This one is good too. By my personal tastes, this one is his best.”

“That much? Then show me it too.”

“He sent it to the group email so you can check too.”

“OK.”

With Somii, Lee also started reading Jaegun’s novel.

“Ah!”

Only in about 20 minutes, did she mutter

“This spells success.”

“Yes? It’s amazing?”

“The representative will be very happy. He completely criticized Editor Tewon for missing out on 1-2 of his works. He’ll get his wish now.”

Lee said sarcastically.

Somii bitterly smiled and thought of Tewon. He was probably somewhere struggling.

“Sigh, sigh.”

a.s.sistant Manager Go came up at the office at about 8:30

He was happy as he came here quickly.

He went to Somii and asked randomly.

“Somii, what are you doing?”

“I’m reading Ha Jaegun’s new novel, do you want to read?”

“Writer Ha Jaegun? No that’s not the problem…! Somii, do you know any good plants?”

“Plants?” Why?”

Somii asked.

Go answered as he put down his bag.

The editor gave me a message. “The office is a bit dry so it would be good to put some flowers here. Somii, where is the nearest place?”

Somii shut her mouth as she understood what was going on.

Lee was laughing quietly at her place.

“Can you come with me? I don’t know flowers, so can you help me?”

“But it’s almost work time.”

As Somii answered negatively, Go straightened his body and looked at her seriously.

“Somii, this is the new editor’s flowers. This is work. Now come here.”

Lee came out to save Somii.

“a.s.sistant Manager Go, how is buying flowers a job? And now, I think it’s not like you have to buy the flowers before the editor comes here.”

“Yes, Ah it’s not that…”

Go looked away from her glance.

a.s.sistant Manager Lee was the one person that he had trouble with. She came with arguments that were often right, so he had no way to refute them.

“Somii is busy. There’s a new novel from Writer Ha. The flower store is on the next store’s 1st floor if you’re urgent. Why is the store owner there for? She will help you.”

“Hmm. Hm… that makes sense….. Then I’ll go alone…”

Go went out of the office because he had nothing to say.

Lee winked at Somii and went back to her monitor.

‘What do I do…?’
