Chapter 2
A BlessingJust like what he had guess, Taekwoon got an earful once he stepped inside his father’s room at the company. Apparently his excuse of ‘unexpected emergency’ was not deemed believable by his father.
“What emergency that took you 2 hours to get back to the company after your lunch break?!” Taekwoon’s father yelled at him, his voice roared inside the room and Taekwoon grimaced at such loud voice ringing in his ear. Not only that, he also had to suffer embarrassment from having his father’s secretary being in the same room with him. But, he had no choice other than only to keep quiet, standing still with his head down as if showing remorse.
“Just an intern.. I know. But you’re my son! You have my name to take care of, do you understand Taekwoon?! Look at Wonsik..” He said, glancing to his secretary for a bit. “He’s younger than you but is far more responsible and more mature than you..” Taekwoon’s father stopped for a while. Taekwoon heard him releasing a deep sigh before his shoulder was squeezed and his father was standing right beside him. “Son, I give you a chance to do something with your life, to learn about our company from the bottom..make use of it and you can’t afford to be late..

This was too sudden and too ‘out of topic’ for Taekwoon to be asking at the moment.
“Huh? What do you mean… why a pregnant person, Young Master..? Is that why you were late..?”
“No no no… Not that.. J-Just answer me! I was curious… A… A.. pregnant woman just.. uh.. just left the building when I walked in and yeah. Just that.” Taekwoon released the breathe he did not realized he’s been holding. He was clueless as to why he was being secretive about wanting to help Hakyeon.
