ChaYoung had been staring 04d6eb0d20 blankly at the computer 443ae544b4 monitor when she felt 95a5d34464 someone touch her arm. She quickly turned 7205006a03 her head. The employee dfe6130d5b sitting next 848da584eb to her, b6f2f5e4d6 JoonHee, mouthed 66098b91c5 the words 44bb2e9cbb ‘Department Head’.

The person with the 07ca677241 familiar voice was SooYeon. ChaYoung wouldn’t even 49c4096a8d be able to 575ea7108f lie and claim cc0a0f1e58 that they were 579bb18a7c on close terms c173e33836 despite entering the ca74c50528 company at the 7af4bd24ae same time.
