Kim Han-Gyo had moved more assertively than he had ever before as if he had been stockpiling his power for this very day. He had contacted his close associates, Congresspersons Jo Su-Hwang and Jin Pil-Oh, to gather as many congresspersons to the press conference as possible since he would be exposing proof that Kang Ra-Eun was the masked woman.
The internet was also on fire due to Han-Gyo’s claims, mainly about how Ra-Eun could possibly be the masked woman. Han-Gyo had also expected the public not to believe him, which was why he had set up the press conference.
“Are all the materials ready?” Han-Gyo asked.
His chief secretary bowed deeply and answered, “Yes, Congressman. I have checked everything from the materials to the venue.”
“I sure am blessed to have you with me, Secretary Kim and Team Leader Park! You’re nothing like that ungrateful Jang Yun-Jik. Hahaha!”
“Not at all. I am simply doing my best as your chief secretary.”
Han-Gyo looked at both Secretary Kim and Park Eun-Soo with eyes filled with trust. Eun-Soo still wanted to oppose Han-Gyo’s plan, but it had become far too big of an issue to stop now. Hence, Eun-Soo decided to do as Han-Gyo said. The result, whether it be good or bad, would be decided tomorrow.
“I think I’ll be able to sleep soundly tonight.”
Eun-Soo couldn’t erase his bad feeling as he looked at Han-Gyo, who was acting like he had already won.
‘If Kang Ra-Eun really is the masked woman, would she let her identity be revealed so easily?’
The masked woman that Eun-Soo knew was more meticulous and cautious than anyone. If she knew that Reporter Ahn Su-Jin had photos of her taken in secret, there was no way that she would let them be. There was one other thing that Eun-Soo couldn’t understand.
‘Reporter Ahn is intimately acquainted with the masked woman.’
The masked woman had even come to rescue Su-Jin, so she was no less than Su-Jin’s savior. It made absolutely no sense for the reporter to be the one to drive the masked woman to her downfall. Su-Jin was not the kind of person to betray her savior; even if it was the biggest scoop of her life, she would never use someone who had saved her life for a story.
‘I don’t understand why she did something like that.’
Thinking more about it, there were even more things that made no sense. Eun-Soo wanted to tell Han-Gyo to reconsider one more time, but Secretary Kim put his hand on Eun-Soo’s shoulder before he could.
“Now, now, Team Leader Park. We’ll be busy tomorrow, so let’s go home and rest. The congressman is also going to be sleeping early today.”
Eun-Soo reluctantly agreed and left the mansion with Secretary Kim.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Team Leader Park. You can go on ahead of me.”
As they were heading to the parking lot, Secretary Kim got a call that seemed rather urgent.
“Is it from the secretary team?” Eun-Soo asked.
Secretary Kim was flustered by the question.
“Uhm, well... Y-Yes. Th-They’re probably asking for my confirmation about the preparations for the press conference tomorrow. It might take some time, so you don’t have to wait for me.”
Eun-Soo was convinced, so he walked to his own car first like Secretary Kim had said. He looked out the window as he got in the car and turned on the ignition. He could see Secretary Kim’s face having become stiff. He could not hear the contents of the call, but his uneasiness rose even higher from seeing Secretary Kim’s face.
