Min Jae Yoon paused and turned around. "What did you say?"
Min Sahan pushed Jaehwa forward as he proudly repeated what he had said, "We're dating, Father."
Jae Yoon narrowed his eyes as they swept over Sahan to the petite figure of Jaehwa who stood there silently, trying hard not to squirm under the intense gaze of the chairman. "Dating..." He drawled, stroking his chin where wisps of white hair were showing, "Is that so?"
Jaehwa couldn't meet the chairman's eyes. "Um, well..."
His eyes snapped back to the man beside her who had a triumphant grin playing at his lips as he met the chairman's skeptical gaze. Jae Yoon cocked his head to the side, "Is this because I told you that she won't stay with you forever to make up for your incompetence, Sahan?"
Sahan's eyes widened in surprise. So did Jaehwa's. He quickly stuttered out, "No, not at all Father."
Jaehwa brought her gaze from the floor to her employer who was suddenly not quite willing to meet her eyes. Did she hear that right? Was that the reason Sahan had asked her out and told her to play this whole dating shenanigan?
Min Jae Yoon's eyes were back on the secretary. His old faded eyes glimmered with intensity. They were keen and observant as if they were trying to see her. Jaehwa felt as if he could see right through her. "Have you thought about this?" He asked, directly acknowledging her. Jaehwa could only stare back, her mouth half-open as she did not have an appropriate response. Jae Yoon breathed out a sigh. "Whatever decision you make, I will not judge you but think about this thoroughly Ms.Han Jaehwa."
With that final advice, Min Jae Yoon walked away to his study room as Jaehwa stood staring at the space where he was just mere moments ago. What had he said?
"Jae-Jae, don't listen to what Father said." Sahan quickly butted in blocking her view of the retreating form of his father. Jaehwa slowly looked up to meet Sahan's eyes.
"What was that he mentioned about-"
"I said, don't pay attention to him!"
Jaehwa stared into her employer's eyes trying to gouge out his reactions. Sahan turned her around as he ushered her away from the place. "Let's just go."
