Silent for a while, Yoon Hoonsik replied, "Um, Mr. Lee said that he wasn't feeling well today and wanted to rest. So, he asked me to represent his attendance at this event."
Hearing about this, I said indifferently, "Can't he push himself for even a moment? He must know that this event is important for the agency."
I didn't worry about anything whether he was present or not at the event and asked just to know where Donghwa was right now.
"Um, I think so, sir. Mr. Lee looks really pale lately. He's also been complaining about shortness of breath, so I asked him to rest tonight."
"So where is he now?" I asked one more time.
"In his apartment, sir. Would you like to convey a message? Later I will pass it directly to Mr. Lee after attending this event, sir."
"No need. I'll meet him in person."
"Um, but—"
After saying that, I immediately got up from my seat, without caring what Hoonsik was trying to say.
