Chiwon didn’t keep his pompous promise of ‘calling after work.’ True to the company’s PC-Off policy, as soon as 6 o’clock hit, the power went off. He left without turning it back on, bolting out of the office and then turning off his phone.cd6fbaf2c37229fd

He didn’t bother to hide the grumbling that escaped his lips. He had the absurd thought that it would be nice if all this were just a dream when he fell asleep and woke up again. He wanted to go back to before he met that ridiculously handsome Ahn Jihyuk.

Amidst the busy morning, while he was busy finalizing the launch contract, another manager from another brand branch inquired about coupon discounts. Occasionally, there were brands that prohibited discounts at branch stores, unlike their direct online stores. And the managers running those stores were always trying to increase sales. Most of the requests to add coupons, taking advantage of the brand’s lax monitoring, would turn back into requests to remove the coupons as soon as they were applied, with the excuse of being “caught by the head office.’1bab9ae1c0459281
