Chapter 258 – Our Minji Is Also an Adult. Right?
‘Why not?’
I almost shouted without even realizing it.
Like the kids, I was looking forward to this performance and its aftermath, but suddenly I was like, what kind of intrusion is this?
‘The CEO comes in between a secret in-house couple? ‘I’ve never heard of a work of this genre!’
“Honey Girls joined this performance in a bit of a hurry. And now I’m in charge of them.”
“The CEO himself?”
Without realizing it, I turned my gaze towards Yoo Ga-hye, who was standing next to me.
She was just looking at the CEO without saying a word, whether she knew what I was looking at or not.
“Huh. “You know we’re pushing them right now, right?”
“Well, yes…”
“That’s why I’m trying to take charge of it myself.”
If that’s the case, it’s better to call a top tier manager and leave it to him…
‘Ah.’
You once asked me if I wanted to raise it.
“That’s right, since you didn’t do it, I’ll do it.”
“Then, shall I act as your representative during this performance? Still…”
“No. “You won’t be able to control them now.”
The representative didn’t wait for my answer and just made a declaration.
“Therefore! Please take care of me. It’s been a while since I’ve been to an away concert, so I’m a little confused about what I need to prepare. So, can you help me prepare it?”
“…Yes, I understand.”
What more can I say when the CEO is like that?
I can only answer that I understand.
“Okay, then the business is over. “Go and do your work.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, can you help me prepare until tonight?”
“Uh…Yeah.”
I feel like I can stop pretending to be friends with Cheon Bom, so it’s time to work overtime.

After Lee Se-jin left the representative office.
“… Are you sure you want to go in person?”
Yoo Ga-hye asked the representative in a cautious voice.
“That’s right! “What do you do if the kids go to a performance and the manager doesn’t follow them?”
“But if the CEO leaves the company…”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done, right? What’s wrong, Secretary Yu? I go on business trips often, and you’re strangely worried. What’s the matter?”
“No, it’s nothing. “I’m a little worried about you taking on managerial activities yourself, so I’ll stop.”
As Sarah Lee said, her leaving the company was not a big deal in itself.
Although Leesara is the CEO of a company, she doesn’t tend to go out and about, but it’s rather strange that the CEO is confined to the company.
She would go out and move around when she needed to too.
Nevertheless, the reason why Yoo Ga-hye asked carefully was simple.
‘Good, it’s been a while since you’ve been out!’
If the CEO vacates her company and she stays with her company, her work is greatly reduced.
Suddenly, the strange errands, chats, and all kinds of work she has to do for the CEO are drastically reduced, making her daily life very easy.
In other words, Yoo Ga-hye was confirming with these questions, ‘CEO, are you really leaving?’
‘I also had Lee Se-jin prepare for the business trip. They say they leave the assistant job up to him. There’s no need for me to follow along!’
Exciting.
She feels again the same feeling she once had when her mother asked her, ‘Mom, I’m going to visit my parents for a little while. Can I see the house for three days and two nights?’
“What is it, Secretary Yu, are you really singling out that I didn’t go on business trips that much?”
“Not at all. Why would I do that to the CEO? “I just did it because I was worried about the CEO.”
“Worry? Why?”
“Hasn’t it been a while since you worked as a direct manager? Besides, this manager probably isn’t used to serving the CEO…”
“That won’t be a problem. “Secretary Yu will do a good job anyway.”
Secretary Yu’s body stopped in shock at the CEO’s words.
“…Yes?”
“Huh?”
“No, I mean, that’s… What did you mean when you just said I’d be good to you…”
“Yes? “Do you mean it literally?”
Isara made an expression that she did not understand Yoo Ga-hye’s question.
And then the two people become speechless.
“…”
“Secretary Yu, did I just say something strange?”
“Yes, no, no, yes… No, no.”
As Yoo Ga-hye looked into the CEO’s eyes, she noticed that this woman really didn’t understand what the question I was asking was.
“Uh…What’s wrong?”
In the end, Yoo Ga-hye had no choice but to ask a direct question as she felt like she was being strangled.
“…Am I coming along on this business trip?”
“Of course! “How can I go on a business trip without a secretary?”
“B-but…”
Last time I went on a business trip with this manager, he was alone at the company!
“Huh? What? “Secretary Yu, are you saying you don’t want to go with me?”
“No, no, how dare I think that? “My seat is always next to the CEO.”
“Right~? So prepare to go to Secretary Yu in advance. “There’s a lot of backlogged work, so if you’re going to be away, there’s a lot to take care of in advance.”
Are you thankful I told you in advance?
Aren’t you grateful that you save yourself from having to worry about putting things off later?
She didn’t say anything, but it seemed to Yoo Ga-hye that Lee Sa-ra was saying that.
In her paranoia(?), Yoo Ga-hye somehow managed her expression and quietly nodded her head.
“Oh right. Come to think of it, it’s Secretary Yu.”
“Yes.”
“Is there one on Jeju Island?”
“What do you mean?”
“Hello Kitty.”
“Doesn’t exist.”
“Uh? Really?”
“Isn’t that a Japanese product? Why are you on Jeju Island?”
There will never be.
There may be some, but there shouldn’t be any.
Even if I go there, I don’t want to run any unnecessary errands.
“But I think I read an article the other day saying that Jeju Island and that company worked together to develop a product, and that they obtained a license and made something…” .”
“That can’t be right.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll look for it… Ugh, that’s weird? Why are there no articles? “I can’t find it when I search.”
“I guess you saw it wrong.”
“That can’t be right~ You know I have a good memory, right? And since Jeju Island is close to Japan, isn’t it worthy of cooperation?”
“No, I don’t think the location has any particular meaning.”
“But~ Ah, maybe there is something imported. “At least there will be a store, right?”
“No way.”
“Please do some research in advance to see if it exists.”
“Sweet…”
In the end, Yoo Ga-hye couldn’t stand it anymore and bit her molars tightly.
***
All of The Queens, including Soye and Haeun, as well as Minji, are adults.
Even though Minji is often immature, I honestly think she’s still a kid in her first or second year of college!
Still, she is an adult with proper common sense.
Why are you suddenly saying this?
“Kids, I brought you something to drink.”
“Thank you.”
“…Thank you.”
“Yes…”
Inside Gimpo Airport to leave for Jeju Island.
It’s because the kids who accepted the water I bought while waiting for the plane to depart were a bit unusual.
‘All three look no different than usual.’
Soye says thank you, Haeun coolly accepts the water bottle while saying the same thing, and Minji timidly answers and holds out her hand.
If other people see it, they will think, ‘The relationship between The Queens and the manager is just normal~’ and move on.
‘But I know. ‘This is very different from usual.’
If Soye was in a good mood, she would say thank you and put a ~ after it.
Let me gently lift your beautiful and pleasant voice.
And Ha-eun doesn’t just say thank you.
I want to drink something other than this water, so I start an argument and try to take care of it too.
Finally, Minji says thank you and she clings to me.
Instead of answering sullenly like you do now and avoiding my eyes and pretending to be playing a game.
‘Kids, I know you’re upset, but…’
However, there is one reason why I cannot provide comfort for my children.
“This manager, am I~?”
“Oh yes, I brought it here.”
“What about the kids here?”
“Of course I brought everything. Now, kids, share a drink here.”
“”””Thank you.””””
It was because of CEO Sara Lee and the Honey Girls who were right next to me.
She brought Yoo Ga-hye in as her assistant, but strangely, she started making me do all kinds of errands, so she didn’t have the energy to take care of our kids.
‘No, I heard you are acting as a manager. Then, you should take care of the Honey Girls.’
I can’t even say that to the CEO.
Thanks to this, I ended up taking care of nearly 10 people by myself.
‘Children, please be patient a little longer.’
In a situation like this, I can’t take care of my kids and say, ‘You’re adults too, right? Nothing will explode again, right? So, can I believe it?’ The only thing that is possible is to pray to heaven.
Right, kids? You guys are adults, right?
Especially Minji, our Minji is also an adult. Right?
Swish.
When I looked at Minji with a wish in mind, she made eye contact with me and immediately lowered her gaze and focused on the game.
If you glance sideways, you will see that the other two are also looking this way.
…Nothing will happen, I trust you guys.
Yes, I believe it.
***
As Lee Se-jin believed, Shin So-ye, Im Ha-eun, and Park Min-ji were of course adults.
Although I feel very lonely and hungry, I know that there is nothing I can do since the CEO has followed me.
Yes.
They knew very well that in this situation, it was the representative who ruined the long-anticipated one-night holiday(?).
They understood very well that the CEO who pushed Honey Girls and the Honey Girls who were pushed by the CEO were their ‘enemies.’
So the three women kept looking.
CEO and Honey Girls.
‘You’re following me again and trying to use me as a comparison group… You’re always interfering needlessly and now I’m ruining my vacation. ‘We have to make sure something like that doesn’t happen again.’
‘I will destroy it properly.’
‘I want to try it at the airport with my brother too. Should I pester you a little? But it’s been a while since I’ve talked to you, so I feel embarrassed…’
Oh, except Minji Park.
