Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 27(Dew Turns Into Frost Since Tonight)

She was now accustomed to looking up at him like everyone else did. The honest and reserved man she had once thought him to be had completely vanished. The Kim Taehyung was now no longer a stranger because this was what he truly was.

She seldom thought of him due to her own busy schedule. Only when looking at the soft tone of the curtain and the geometric shapes of the window after a long day of excessive work could did she remember that this office had been specially designed for her by him.

Who would have expected a cold man like him to be so attentive to a woman?

Jisoo sometimes felt a little guilty about the situation. He had planned on professing his feelings for her and taking her to the new office without expecting her rejection. She had actually been very cruel in a way.

Every time she thought of this, she would tell herself, It’s already over. Now I’m his right hand, entrusted with imperative tasks. I need to be more hardworking. Just be more hardworking.

Jisoo sat down across from him and smiled. “Mr.Kim, what brings you here today?” she asked in a tone that could not be more polite or formal.

When Taehyung turned around to look at her, however, the atmosphere changed. He was sitting several feet in front of her; the image looked almost the same as a month ago when he would sit in the chair in his office next door to her every day. She looked at his statuesque body, nicely-tailored suit, and slender hands on the armrest of the chair. His slightly high cheekbones marked a handsome face that was delicately contoured. When he turned and looked at her, Jisoo saw his dark eyes, his face, and his strong neck—her heart missed a beat. She felt like an oasis had suddenly grown in an arid, unsettled land.

Sometimes, only when a person sat in front of you, when you could clearly see his face, could you realize that the impact and feeling he brought to you had always been there, regardless how long you hadn’t seen him.

“I’m here to check the sales at Vinda,” he said in a low voice, turning through some of the financial statements on Jisoo’s desk.

“Sure. Perhaps allow me to brief you?”

“Okay.”

The two people sat very still in the quiet room. As Jisoo spoke she could hear people’s footsteps and conversations from outside. The vat of goldfish on her shelf swam dreamily back and forth.

Jisoo couldn’t help glancing at him.

It seemed that he’d just had a haircut, and his forehead was showing. Jisoo had noticed before that his eyes were slightly larger than other men’s, deeply-set and pure. But now he looked a bit weary. Was it because he’d been too busy the past few weeks? She could even smell mild alcohol on him, and the way he sat in the chair seemed more languid and uncalculated than usual. Had there been a luncheon he’d needed to go to? Although he was the leader of a large corporation, it was still necessary for him to engage in business entertainment with government officials and important partners. It was hard to picture what he was like during these types of events.

Jisoo finished reporting after a short while. “Mr. Kim, this is the current situation. Do you have any instructions?”

“No.” He was still skimming the documents without any expression.

Jisoo stared at him blankly.

Nothing? If there’s nothing, why did you, as the CEO, choose to come to my office instead of the president’s or the vice president’s office?

She was guessing that Taehyung had come to her office to specifically assign her some confidential tasks.

They silently sat facing each other.
