Overnight, she became the arsonist who poisoned six people to death with poisonous gas. Was it because of this shock?

Not only did he not go out for a few days, but even the threatening phone calls at 10 o'clock every night stopped. If Baek Sa-eon's plan was to make the threat back off, then this was a great success.

When "voice change threat" became a real-time search keyword, Hee-joo even lost her appetite.

'I turned out to be the voice of an arsonist! '

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved, absurd, and angry she became.

Hee-joo hated to think about that morning, and didn't want to feel powerless anymore, so she decided to go out for a rare trip.

Although her mind was a little superficial, she still wanted to do something meaningful.
'Anyway, there is only one place I can go.'

Sign Language Interpretation Center.

As soon as she walked in, she almost bumped into Director Han Jun who was rushing out with a serious face. Today he was still wearing a fluorescent Hawaiian shirt and a gold necklace.

Although the boss always nags that the clothes of sign language interpreters should be as simple as blackboards, Director Han Jun is undoubtedly the most flamboyant person here.

"Oh...! My dear, Hallelujah!" He suddenly grabbed Hee-joo's hand as if welcoming an angel. "Hee-joo, you're just in time! Excuse me, can you do me a favor?" 

'What's the matter?' She asked in sign language while trying to pull her hand out of his grasp. 

"Today, there is a vacancy and no one can fill it." The director frowned and looked embarrassed. 

'What position?' He took Hee-joo to the sign language contact center. This is a place that provides real-time communication intermediary services for the hearing-impaired. Intermediaries use voice, text or sign language to make calls on behalf of the hearing-impaired. 

The director begged her while pulling her. "You have learned it before, so you should be able to do it, right? Let the people next to you handle the parts that require voice, and you only handle the parts that you can solve. Just 1 hour...! Just 1 hour...!" The director put his hands together and begged sincerely. 

"Your biased uncle will repay you a hundredfold!" Although he spoke so emotionally, Hee-joo scratched her neck listlessly. Seeing this, Director Han Jun obviously felt embarrassed and began to coax her with all kinds of sweet words.

"I recently attended the National Institute of the Korean Language's new sign language conference to discuss how to express the songs of American singer Kariba in sign language... We have been discussing it fiercely recently."
The director's face suddenly showed a strong sense of fatigue.

"But it's too difficult... The lyrics are too explicit..."

Kariba...?

Explicit lyrics?

Hee Joo stared at him, and the director's face flushed.

"I don't think it's appropriate to say in front of you..." 

'I'm not a child.'

"Okay, okay."

He patted Hee Joo's head gently.

"Anyway, there will be a concert soon, and a sign language interpreter will be arranged. Uncle will recommend you then. You are also good at English, so it's just right to interpret the singer's speech."

Hearing this, she immediately remembered Baek Sa-eon's suggestion. Go to the Blue House to work as a sign language interpreter.

Hee Joo licked her lips unconsciously.
