#4. I should gladly find it
2023.06.13.

“And that’s the end?”

I flipped it over to see if there was anything else written on the back, but it was clean.

The message the woman who disappeared left behind was truly concise and simple.

“It was fun.” I could

n’t help but laugh out loud.

This was Lee Hyun’s first one-night stand, so he didn’t know if it was always going to be like this, but one thing was certain: he didn’t feel good. Well

,

it was strange to wake up someone who was sleeping and tell them to go and sleep a little longer.

It also felt strange to be left alone in this hotel suite.

It really felt like I had been eaten and thrown away.

Lee Hyun sat on the bed and kept looking back and forth at the ring and note the woman had left behind.

Of course, it wasn’t a welcome situation for the other person to keep the relationship going. It

wasn’t a good situation for her to leave cleanly like this, as if she had no regrets.

“I did all that service.”

The woman seemed very awkward, as if it was her first one-night stand.

Ah, not just one night, but this was the first time in a relationship like this.

Of course, it was the same for Lee Hyun, so there was no need to feel sorry for each other.

No matter what,

it was against common sense.

“Shouldn’t you at least say thank you?”

Was that strange?

Lee Hyun, who was tilting his head, picked up his cell phone.

He made a call to someone, forgetting that it was five in the morning.

“Oh, it’s me.”

-Do you know what time it is?

“Five thirty in the morning.”

-Haa. Chief, you probably know that I’m not asking because I don’t know. Secretary Choi,

who had been asleep, answered Lee Hyun’s call, showing that he was very displeased.

It wasn’t like this at first.

Hyun Joon, who had been Lee Hyun’s longtime friend and good partner, suddenly resigned, saying that he had been too busy with work recently.

Lee Hyun, who was on the verge of losing his friend and secretary at the same time, tried hard to hold on to him, but Hyun Joon’s intentions were very strong.

He told him not to contact him unless he found a replacement.

There was no way Lee Hyun would remember such a warning.

– You probably didn’t hire my replacement at this hour, did you?

“That’s not it, but there’s someone Secretary Choi wants you to find.”

– I’m not a detective agency.

“A woman has disappeared.”

– Huh?

Hyun-joon seemed to have completely lost his sleep after hearing words that could not possibly come out of Lee Hyun’s mouth.

– A woman. What do you mean?

“I met a woman yesterday.”

– But she was?

“She wasn’t there when I woke up.”

-… … .

There was a brief silence.

Hyun-joon asked very carefully, knowing that it couldn’t be true.

– Did you have a one-night stand?

“Uh.”

-… … .

Hyun-joon seemed speechless at Lee Hyun’s confident answer this time too.

– So you’re saying that the woman he spent the night with was gone when he opened his eyes?

“That’s right. This is why I cherish Secretary Choi.”

– Chief, listen carefully to what I say.

“Uh.”

Lee Hyun waited for a moment. He

was briefly excited, thinking that the smart Secretary Choi had already come up with the perfect way to find the missing woman.

– I think it would be best not to look for that woman.

“Why?”

– Haa. That’s the unspoken rule of one-night stands.

Lee Hyun slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger, as if he was dissatisfied.

Lee Hyun, who had been thinking deeply, opened his mouth.

“I never made that kind of promise with that woman.”

– No, it’s not like I made a promise. It seems that the woman wasn’t very satisfied with the chief.

“What?”

Lee Hyun’s face twisted fiercely.

“I don’t think so.”

Then, his brows straightened again.

– How can you be so sure?

“I saw it myself.”

A face soaked in pleasure.

Lee Hyun cleared his throat, unable to go into such detail.

“She was a woman who attended the after-party of the Brand Cheto charity bazaar.”

Lee Hyun slowly recited the information about the woman he had lost, as if telling him to write it down.

“She was about as tall as my chest, had short blonde hair, and was pretty.”

It’s a bit awkward to say that it was love at first sight, but it seemed like it was.

Lee Hyun kept that secret and urged him to find the woman.

– I’ll try, but there’s something more urgent than that.

“What is that?”

– My successor… … .

“Please handle this quickly, Secretary Choi.”

Lee Hyun hung up the phone without listening to Hyun Joon properly.

Slowly closing his eyes, he remembered the moment he first saw the woman on the rooftop last night.

The first thought that came to his mind when he saw her face widening in surprise after bumping into me was ‘She’s beautiful.’

Of course, he had seen so many objectively beautiful people until now.

She was a woman who exuded a unique aura that couldn’t be compared to such stereotypical beauty.

Until then, he had just let it go.

While he was talking to his companions at a table a little away, he noticed a blatant gaze constantly landing on his face.

Thinking that she was one of the women desperately trying to seduce him, Lee Hyun turned his head with an indifferent expression.

The one staring at him was the woman he had met earlier.

What was surprising was that she wasn’t blatantly trying to seduce him.

When they met eyes, she deliberately turned her head away and started to pretend not to have looked at him.

What was that?

He was curious and curious.

Was this a new seduction technique?

He had thought about that too.

She was an interesting woman.

So Lee Hyun deliberately stared at her a few times.

The woman pretended not to see him and glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and their eyes met a few more times in midair.

Every time, the woman deliberately avoided his gaze and felt embarrassed.

Why was she so embarrassed after just looking at his face a few times?

Once he started to feel curious about her, he felt he had to check it out.

She was the first person he had ever been interested in.

So he deliberately approached her and asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend.

The corners of her lips were stiff because she was embarrassed in front of him, which was very charming.

The fact that she seemed to hide her true feelings but then burst out like bubbles at an unexpected moment was even more refreshing.

The woman was embarrassed by the blatant question of whether she liked him, but she did not avoid answering.

In the end, seeing her doing everything, Lee Hyun became curious about the woman’s more than that.

What would her real face be like under her thick makeup?

What kind of expression would she make if she were stimulated passionately?

That’s why he proposed a one-night stand for the first time in his life.

In conclusion, that woman was the type of woman Lee Hyun had never met before.

Just look at the fact that she disappeared without a trace after spending such a meaningful night with him yesterday.

Usually, most women are desperate to somehow get involved with him and get the bean curds that fall.

However, that woman really didn’t say anything as if her body was her goal.

What’s more, she didn’t even tell him her common name, which made him even more curious.

The common women who usually approached Lee Hyun were anxious because they couldn’t show off who they were.

There was another strange situation that the woman left behind.

Lee Hyun’s daily routine was to fall asleep and wake up alone, but today, for the first time in his life, he felt empty and lonely.

He was even more bewildered at the thought of feeling this way when the woman he had been with for only a few hours was gone.

“If you keep stimulating my interest like this until the end.”

Lee Hyun carefully kept the note and the gold ring, the only clues to finding the woman.

“I should gladly find it for you.”

That woman probably didn’t know.

Lee Hyun had never let go of or lost anything that was in his hands.

Also, he was a man who would successfully complete something no matter what happened once he made up his mind.

Urukkwangkwang- Thunder

struck again.

As if cheering on Lee Hyun’s determination.

***

A week had passed since he had spent a passionate night with that woman.

Secretary Choi seemed to have no intention of finding the woman, as if he was planning to openly protest to Lee Hyun.

When I went out, there were more than one or two things I had to take care of.

Knock

knock- A knock was heard, and Secretary Choi, who was almost dying, appeared.

“Secretary Choi, did you find that woman?”

“Director, now is not the time to look for that woman.”

“The most important thing for me right now is finding that woman… …”

Secretary Choi cut off Lee Hyeon’s words.

“I think it would be perfect if my successor secretary took over the search for the woman that the director fell in love with at first sight.” Secretary

Choi opened his eyes wide as if asking him to quickly look at the secretary candidate he had brought.

It was true that he fell in love at first sight, but he didn’t fall in love.

Secretary Choi had completely misunderstood.

Lee Hyun opened his mouth, wondering where he should start correcting his mistake.

Then he quickly shut his mouth tightly, as if even that was too much trouble.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the file that Secretary Choi had handed him.

“Director, here’s information on the secretaries that will succeed me.”

Lee Hyun flipped through the documents Secretary Choi had given him, then narrowed his eyes when he found a resume.

Seeing that Lee Hyun seemed interested, Secretary Choi continued his briefing excitedly.

“She’s the secretary who met with Managing Director Mo. She has outstanding experience and ability.”

“Han Ye-rin… … .”

“Is that the person you like the most?”

A snicker escaped Lee Hyun’s mouth.

And the laughter gradually grew louder.

Secretary Choi suddenly noticed Lee Hyun laughing at the secretary’s resume.

“If you don’t like that person… … .”

“I really like him.”

“Are you sure?”

“Uh. Where on earth did you find Secretary Choi ?”

“I didn’t find him, but the HR team selected a suitable candidate.”

Fortunately, he seemed to like Yerin, so Secretary Choi’s face brightened the brightest it had been since he entered the office.

“Then I’ll tell the HR team so that you can assist the director as soon as possible.”

“Good. Quick turnaround.”

Lee Hyun smiled at Secretary Choi, pulling the corners of his lips together for the first time in a long while.

Even though he tried to dismiss Secretary Choi and focus on his work, he couldn’t help but laugh like a crazy person because the corners of his lips kept going up into the sky.

“The reason I didn’t want to tell you my name, really?”

Was it because they were working at the same company?

If that’s the case, then Yerin approached him knowing who he was.

And then why did she run away so suddenly in the morning?

I was so curious about her truth.

“I didn’t know she was this close.”

I was so excited for the future where I would work hand in hand with my new secretary.
