23 - The Second is Skillfully
Se-ah slowly entered and closed the study door. Standing for a moment and looking around the study, Im Se-ah placed a vase on the windowsill where it could be easily seen from the desk.
"You can't act anyway."I sighed deeply as I recalled my father, who used to say not to waste energy on trivial matters.
"No." I will do it.I murmured while looking at the abundant bouquet filled with sunlight. Isn't it enough to regret something you haven't tried just once? I didn't want to look back on my life with regret anymore. When it really came time to die, how sorrowful it was.
Im Se-ah, who was gently touching the small flower buds, stood in front of the bookshelf with a decisive step. It was the bookshelf in the middle that filled one side of the wall.
"I think it was here.""As I slightly bent my knees to sit down, I was able to comfortably see the section at about waist height." That place was filled with ornaments instead of books. A long horizontal frame and some trivial decorations in front of it.
When I removed them, a safe attached to the wall appeared.
“……."I turned around for no reason, feeling tense." The safe was located in a position where it could be seen directly when sitting at the desk. My father did not have any special security measures in his study. That was something I knew because I had heard it directly in the past.
Before regression. It was probably right after Im Se-ah had a miscarriage with her first baby.
It was a time that was incredibly difficult not only physically but also emotionally, yet her father showed no consideration for her at all.
The son-in-law hesitated to invest in this business, which made him angry instead, and he blamed him for how he managed his health. He couldn't just stay still and asked Se-ah to bring the documents from the safe in the family study.
As long as I have this evidence, they won't be able to act recklessly.
Im Se-ah, who was looking at the electronic password device of the safe, pressed the number that came to her mind.
Clank-
With a small metallic sound, the lock was released. Inside, there was a bundle of documents and a USB drive. Im Se-ah, who was staring blankly, quietly took them out.
At that time, she had seen these materials. And they learned what kind of goods were exchanged between the two as part of their marriage transaction. My father was such a cruel person. No, perhaps you thought that your daughter already knew.
"I was a fool, what can I say.""After Heo Yuri and Park Ji-man, even her father, Im Se-ah, seems to be turning a blind eye to it all. I wonder if I was too naive to think that." Or are they shameless for pretending to be unaware after cleverly deceiving?
She got up from her seat and placed the documents into the copier next to her desk. The study was far from the kitchen, so the Yongsan Housekeeper would not have heard this sound.
I put the copied materials in the safe and took the original. And the USB is.
I opened the cosmetic pouch and took out a product of the same model.
It was possible because it had not been long since I secured funds for the Philippine resort project. If we had gone back a few years instead of now, it would have been difficult to find a USB of the same model. If that were the case, it would have taken some time to bring the laptop and copy instead of just replacing the USB.
I placed an empty USB inside and put the USB with evidence into the pouch.
Se-ah closed the safe and neatly placed the picture frame and decorations back in the same order as before. So that it can be easily overlooked.
"Is it done now?"I carefully checked the bag zipper and looked around the study again.
It was not much different from when I first entered this room. The only thing that has changed is the vase by the window. She calmly came out of the study.
"Are you leaving already?""Let's go.""CEO Im will be disappointed." Why don't you have dinner before you go?"Will they feel regret?" Perhaps he is not regretting the dinner with his daughter, but rather regretting the time lost to persuade her.
"I won't be able to come for a while."With a bitter smile, Se-ah greeted the Yongsan Housekeeper and left the family home.
It seemed like I was visiting my agency, UZ Entertainment, after a long time. Se-ah smiled as she recalled her quite busy schedule, even though it was for a short time.
"Welcome, Se-ah.""Hello." Director, how have you been?"Then, then."As I entered the office, Director Song Yun-mi, who was working, greeted me warmly."
"I have come too." Director. It seems like only our Se-ah is being welcomed.Ye-won grumbled unnecessarily while closing the door behind Se-ah. Director Song stood up with a smile and walked to the front of the desk. There was a lot to carry in my hands, but it all seemed to be scripts.
Wow. Is all of this for Se-ah?"Isn't there a lot?" I called Ye-won because I thought you could initially review it, but I also wanted Se-ah to see it."As he sat at the hospitality table, Director Song said." I hope that by examining each script that comes in, we can also develop a better eye for the work and the director.
"There are really a lot.""I think there are about twenty.""It seemed to look like there was more when stacked like a tower." As I hesitated about what to watch first, Ye-won handed me the one at the very top. "It's something that has to be seen anyway."
"Aren't both of the coffees Americano?"As Se-ah and Ye-won began to look at the script, Director Song got up to pour coffee.
"Ice?""Yes." Thank you. Director."No need to mention it."The sound of the espresso machine was heard, and soon the rich aroma of roasted beans filled the office. The ice and drink in the transparent glass made a refreshing sound as they met.
"But. I saw Ms. Se-ah again."Director Song, who brought coffee on a small wooden tray, said as he placed a cup in front of each person." Se-ah, who could not understand what it meant to say she had seen it again, took her eyes off the script and looked at Director Song.
"It's about acting." When did it increase so much?"Not only Dan's music video, but also the recently streamed 'Elite High School Romance Records' received very positive reactions from viewers." Director Song had heard Ye-won's words, but he carefully observed to see the people's response.
"I got caught up while monitoring.""Am I right?""Ye-won squinted her eyes while pointing it out and quickly took out her phone to show the related article."
Everyone was praising Se-ah's acting in the comments.
'Elite High School Romance Records' Seo Ji-an's piano performance of anger and tears!

I don't think that sister is someone who would be here.
-Won't we be able to see it in a movie or drama soon? The class is different. - The surrounding actors become a backdrop.
No, at least Min Hyo-ryeong? It seems that the actor who took on that role is performing well.
Wow. I thought it was a work by Director Kim Seong-cheol, but this is a movie, not a web drama.
- Totally agree.
-The directing is incredibly immersive.
-Yeoju's acting is amazing. I also admire in the piano scene. T_T
No, no, me too T_T
In fact, Se-ah hadn't thought about looking for comments. It was burdensome and a little scary. I might have wanted to hear the compliment that I do well as much as I like.
"That's a relief.""Director Song clearly saw Se-ah with a sighing expression." With a face that seemed to have something to say, they tilted their head as if asking what was wrong.
"Se-ah, I heard you are getting married?""Ye-won was taken aback and bewildered by the sudden remark." On the other hand, Se-ah looked surprised but calm.
"Is that true?""She wondered who might have leaked that information." Is it Park Ji-man or CEO Heo? Well, it didn't matter who spilled it.
"No."I firmly expressed my thoughts while making eye contact with Director Song. Even the situation you are currently in.
My father wants me to quit this job and enter into an arranged marriage. The opponent is An.It is Park Ji-man from Group B. It seems like they are even going as far as hiring someone to take photos, perhaps to create a scandal.
"Are you crazy?""That's a crime," Ye-won said angrily. As she quietly listened to Se-ah's story, Director Song fell into thought and then asked.
"Se-ah, are you planning to continue acting?""Yes." I won't get married either. I will not stop acting."Then it's done." Regarding the scandal, I will try to arrange for some reporters in advance. Don't worry too much."It was several times more trustworthy than what former CEO Heo said, and it made me burst into laughter."
"Oh my, why are you laughing?""I'm grateful."The three people who were exchanging glances suddenly burst into laughter and laughed out loud for a while.
“아, Director. I received a casting offer for a movie by director Kim Seong-cheol."This web drama director?"Suddenly, I remembered that Se-ah was offered a casting role in 'Hide.' The script is good and the role is great, so I definitely want to do it.
"Isn't it amazing?" Since you act well, big projects come to you naturally."Director Song was impressed as he skimmed through the script and the roles she handed over." Hearing repeatedly that she is doing well made Se-ah feel shy, and she subtly blushed.
"If you want to do it, just do it.""Director Song encouraged me, saying that the role looks difficult, but he believes I can do it well."
Knock knock - The sudden knock slightly disrupted the cheerful atmosphere. It seemed that there were no appointments at this time, as Director Song glanced at his wristwatch and shouted.
"Please come in.""The one who entered after slightly opening the door was Heo Yuri." Yu-ri glanced at Se-ah and Ye-won with disapproval.
“아빠가 부르세요, Director."Anyone who sees this would mistake it for a home rather than a company." It would have been fine if Yu-ri wasn't a member of the cast. It didn't seem very good to call him dad instead of the representative in front of other actors and staff.
"I understand." Go out."Director Song, who was staring at Yu-ri like that, later said he would go."
"No." You just called me over?It was an attitude as if treating a servant. The nuance of why he doesn't get up immediately when the representative calls made a crack appear in Director Song's brow.
“……."A slight silence flowed and Director Song looked back at Se-ah and Ye-won."
"I am watching." I will go and come back."Director Song, who had been smiling gently and speaking, hardened his expression as he left the director's office."
“Director. Do you have any good auditions coming up this time?"Yu-ri asked softly, but Director Song didn't even look at her. Instead, he knocked on the representative office door and opened it." Feeling ignored, Yu-ri's eyes narrowed.
"Are you here?" Sit there.CEO Heo, who was looking at something on his phone, gestured towards the reception sofa. However, Director Song did not want to sit down and have a conversation. Anyway, isn't there a separate time scheduled for meetings for the affiliated actors or to understand industry trends?
The fact that it was called this way meant that it was a very private matter.
"What is the matter?""Standing in front of the desk in the representative office, CEO Heo let out a big sigh and shook his head."
"Hey, Director Song."CEO Heo, who had been scrolling down on his phone, put it down and turned his chair towards Director Song. The expression of looking up while half-lying down was quite dissatisfied.
"Don't you think it seems like we're only supporting Im Se-ah?"”
