UNSEEN (Male Version)

Chapter 4

"What's wrong, Director-nim?" he asked and looked at his watch. "It's been five minutes and you don't say anything. It isn't like you, Director-nim..." he ended with a smile.

"Chaeyoon..." I finally said her name. Inhaling my breath deeply, I looked at him seriously. The footage itself should be treated seriously. The footage where was showing bad things that happened when I lost my consciousness. Clasping my hand together and pulling my chair closer to the table with me. "Did I do something wrong when you accompanied me?" I asked straightforwardly. The view of blood on my sheet and Chaeyoon holding her stomach in pain bothered me the whole night.

"Ah..." he nodded while fixing his glasses over again without answering my question. Waiting for his answer, I raised a brow curiously. "I am sorry, Director-nim. I shouldn't answer this. You can ask her yourself."

"Taemu-ya, Don't you know that she would never answer my question. Especially, after the..."

"Director-nim..." he cut my words gingerly. He roamed the room while biting his lip uneasily. "Doesn't it better if you ask her yourself, and fix the problem together?" He ended the question and suddenly bowed to me after seconds. "I am sorry, Director-nim. I am sorry..."

"Taemu-ya! Companies aren't something to be played with!" I slammed my pen frustratedly before putting my fist on my forehead. There were different situations when you have a personal problem with your woman and the professional problem of the company with your woman. And you didn't even know how to fix them at the same time.

'FUCK! I can't even separate those problems!'

"I mean... I don't ask you to fix the problem about companies together, but..." I gazed at him curious with his next word. "I thought your relationship with Chaeyoon-ssi is actually on another level without you're realizing it," his weird sentences made me putting an interest in him.

"What do you mean?" I looked at him who frowned his brows uncomfortably.

"I mean, she was engaged to you. Director-nim..." his words confused me more.

"Alright! I think you will not answer my question about that. I just need you to answer a question with yes or no," I sighed desperately also being puzzled by the problems I faced these days. Giving up on understanding it one by one, I was just trying to understand the fact that was just shown.

"Did I hurt her that night?" I uttered the question carefully.

"Yes," his answer thorn my heart in an instant.

*****((()))*****

I can't believe that I heard that my father suddenly called me in between my work time. It must be an important one. And there I was sitting in front of my father's chair in the living room. Breaking the ice, my father said a statement I never imagined before.

"Ask for a merge to Ridge as soon as possible!" he said dominantly on the main chair of the couch while puffing his cigar with his walking stick on another side. I twitched my brows hearing his wish. It was new. I never knew that Mount has an interest in Ridge.

"What do you mean?"

"Why? You can't ask for a merge to Ridge because of that woman?" he chuckled while putting his cigar on the ashtray before leaning his back again to the couch. Questioning his sudden statement, I straightened my back in an alert. I tried hard not to smirk in disbelief by his out of nowhere wish.

"That woman?" I glared at him while tightening my grips feeling hurt when he said that woman instead of Ha Chaeyoon. That was different when he called her sweetly with her name, but he drastically changed after knowing that Chaeyoon was spying on us.
