Without being able to screa at how only her pupils slid doards in her widened eyes, it seerasp the situation and what had hit her face
The tiramisu cake, still a black mess stuck onto her face, slowly slid down
While taking in the once in a lifetiht for a moment
Although the cake I spent a lot of money on became like that, I didn't feel like the money asted
The cake choice was great If it was sihtly lacking
”Wh-what, th-this, Chae-Chaeyoung…”
Chief Jo's stutter broke the silence He stared at ha with the pale face of soing through his pockets and hurriedly disappearing, saying that he would bring tissues
”… Are you crazy?”
Son Chaeyoung said as she wiped her cheek with the back of her hand and furiously brushed off the cakey e like a beast like before, but perhaps it was similar to the quiet before the storm as her voice was unexpectedly calm
However, there was a vicious look in her eyes
I raised ha just in case
”No,”
Replied Lee Songha
When I turned around, I became surprised Her voice was as cal Her attitude seeain, she'd throw the cake box at her too
Well, she was like that I had forgotten for a while
I had forgotten that Lee Songha, ould become dejected whenever she troubled her team because of her ht when necessary
”You're the one who started it”
”You?”{1}
Son Chaeyoung laughed as if taken aback Lee Songha didn't care and continued,
”You tried to hit him”
”So? Did he get hit? He dodged it like a slippery eel Also, because I vented er, you throw a cake at your company senior? Have you lost your enius? Do you think that you can still-!”
”Don't vent”
Lee Songha cut her off
”What?”
”Don't vent your anger on someone else's-”
Someone else's?
”Someone else's oppa”
It felt like she had hurriedly changed her words
However, I didn't have the chance to be curious Behind Son Chaeyoung, the door opened again Then the still pale-faced Chief Jo glanced outside before entering then closing the door
He had a bunch of tissues in one hand
”Chaeyoung, before anyone sees you, you sho-”
”Oppa, is so me the problem? When I was hit with a cake?”
She spat after snatching the tissues Chief Jo did a double take before looking at Lee Songha with a frown
”What were you thi-!”
However, Chief Jo's expression soon beca requested Teacher shi+ha's path That hy he couldn't scold her When thinking of what Son Chaeyoung did, she deserved a rock thrown at her, let alone a cake
Instead of Lee Songha, Chief Jo picked on me
”Hey, you! How could you just watch instead of stopping her?!”
”I didn't see it as I was thinking about Teacher shi+taek”
Chief Jo flinched like someone who had been suddenly attacked at rily threw the tissues she iping her face with on the floor
”Ah, I' on Teacher shi+ I did it I asked the teacher to stop Lee Songha fro”
”Chaeyoung!”
Frightened, Chief Jo checked outside
I taek toldwould ad
I suddenly becaha was less agitated than before She si with eyes that seemed calm and deep like a bottomless pool of water
I couldn't tell what she was thinking with those eyes
”But what are you going to do about it now that you know?”
Son Chaeyoung asked me
”Who are you going to whine to? The director? The CEO? Try it What do you think the CEO is going to say to me?”
”Chaeyoung, really, what if someone hears you?!”
When Chief Jo grabbed her ar raised her voice
”There's no one besides these two anyways! And what did I do wrong?! I only hid it because it was e, do you think I hid it because I was scared?!”
”You Haa, you clearly told the teaa-!”
”I did it because I didn't like her When I thought that she ht join my project, I became so irritated that I couldn't read the script or sleep! I loss it over with that!”
Even her assigned h he was looking at Son Chaeyoung like adidn't stop and continued,
”That's why I became relaxed, oppa”
”What?”
”Since there was nothing getting in et stressed Because of that, the drama ell and so did the movie I did so many commercials and advertisements last year too Do you think that she'd ? In the company's perspective, wasn't this better?”
My anger surged, calain
There was one thing on my mind now
Just where did someone like her come from?
It was like I was looking into Son Chayoung the human and not the actress When you took off her clean, innocent fabricated façade, there was an obscure, disgusting monster inside
”Can I tell you so?”
Without waiting for my reply, she said sarcastically,
”There not much time before I have to renewto say anything toco on me”
Ah, so this was it This hat Teacher shi+taek meant
That it would be better if I had just glossed over it without knowing
”If the CEO asks ize, then, well, I'll think about it So, until then, don't piss so like this It see since you've started working, but this industry is always like this”
I s the countless words that surged up my throat and said,
”Although it hasn't been long since I've started working, there so I clearly learned”
”So you learned?”
Son Chaeyoung, who had asmile, narrowed her eyes
I looked at Lee Songha She was still standing tall behind me
However, I could feel her thin fingers clinging on my shi+rt
Although I ht not know the ways of the world, I wasn't si, I wasn't the type to co pay a worthy price for her actions after listening to her words
That wasn't naivety but stupidity
This industry was a breeding ground of absurdity and irrationality There was nothing anization with an enormous food chain of boss-subordinate relationshi+ps
