Su Yeon found VP Song's behavior a bit odd. She thought, 'Huh? Why VP Song is worrying about me? Even if it is pure, why it is towards me…' and replied, "Manager Lui's assistant is on a leave since a few days ago, so I helped her."
VP Song told her, "Why are you standing? Sit on the chair, you must…" he realized his mistake.
He scolded himself, 'Don't, don't! She is not my daughter in this life. I must have scared her. But, she seems so tired…' no matter what, the father inside him took over his emotions.
He cleared his throat and rephrased his sentence, "You did well Intern Yoon. I hope you remember what your senior has told you." Su Yeon read between the lines and replied with a gentle smile, "Thank you Vice President Song for offering me a seat, but I am good here. I completely understood what Manager Lui told me."
VP Song couldn't see his daughter standing over there. Since the work is done, he was supposed to tell her to leave, but he wanted to spend some time with her.
For this, he decided to use his authority and said, "Intern Yoon, you can sit over there till I check all the documents. After all, other than Manager Lui, it's you who knows about it the most, so I will ask you if there is anything."
Su Yeon was going to excuse herself, but when VP Song told her to wait, she got confused. Later when she came to know the reason, Su Yeon found it reasonable and went towards the sitting area.
There she saw Manager Xu was sitting with someone. She bowed and sat opposite them.
On the other hand, Manager Han Jiang couldn't believe what he saw just now…
A few minutes ago, while he was busy staring at VP Song, he saw the door opened and a girl came inside by taking light and elegant steps.
On one side, VP Song was sitting on the main desk, while on the other side, the girl entered the office. When Manager Han blinked his eyes, he saw the same scene but in a different form…
.
Inside the golden luxurious royal chamber, a man was sitting on the dragon throne. His straight posture and strong aura were perfect for his position, the Emperor. His chiseled face, sharp eyes, and strong physique was indicating that he once ruled the battlefield.
Besides the Emperor, someone was sitting on a royal seat. His black robe was indicating that he was the Crown Prince but his face was still blurred.
Just then, the voice of the guard came from outside,
"Reporting the arrival of Princess Su Yeon…"
The door opened and a young lady came inside with airy light and elegant steps.
The young lady had a short and delicate physique. Her milky white skin was glowing in the sunshine coming from the windows. Her brown doe eyes were filled with a gentle gaze. She had a short but straight nose and her cherry blossom colored lips had the sweetest smile. Her pink-colored hanfu and dark brown waist-length hair adorned with jade hairpins were enhancing her beauty. While walking, the pearl strings on the hairpins were dangling with the wind.
When she reached the center of the hall, she stopped her tracks and greeted with an elegant bow, "Greetings to Your Majesty and Royal Highness." Her sweet voice changed the whole atmosphere. When she lifted her gaze and gave a smile, his heartbeat stopped for a second.
He heard his friend's voice who was sitting beside him, "There she is…"
He turned to look at his friend and just like that, everything vanished again.
.
Same view, same people but a different era. VP Song was looking exactly like that Emperor sitting on the dragon throne and this Intern Yoon came inside looked and behaved just like that Princess did.
When she sat in front of him, he once again felt, just for a second, that the Princess was sitting there.
He shook his head and thought, 'No, this is not possible. My mind is just playing games, casting these new people for the characters in my dream. Is this some past life kind of thing?'
Manager Xu said, "Manager Han, this is Intern Yoon working in your department." Manager Han came out of his thoughts and said, "Huh? Ohh yes, hello, I am Han Jiang, a Manager in the finance department."
Su Yeon gave a short bow and introduced herself, "Good evening Manager Han, I am Yoon Su Yeon, an intern in the finance department."
Just then, VP Song came there and sat beside her on the sofa.
Manager Han froze when he heard the name 'Su Yeon' and whispered, "Princess Su Yeon…" and stopped his insane thoughts. He sighed in relief when he realized that no one heard him.
To his dismay, VP Song had already heard it. Goosebumps came all over his body when he heard the title 'Princess Su Yeon' again in this life.
When he looked at Manager Han's indifferent face, he thought that he might hear it wrong, 'Right, there is no way that he can recognize my little dumpling. I don't remember seeing him in the past life.'
Manager Xu once again said to Manager Han, "And this is Vice President Song. He once used to be the Professor in Imperial Business University."
Su Yeon quietly heard the introduction and general exchange of information between VP Song and Manager Xu, but her mind was drifting on something else.
She looked at VP Song from the corner of her eyes and remembered her previous interaction with him and his worry. Even now, when the Vice President of Song Empire is sitting right beside her, she doesn't even feel pressured. Instead, she was feeling more secure, like when we sit beside our parents…wait! What?
She shook her head to remove unnecessary thoughts. Manager Xu chuckled and said, "Intern Yoon are you feeling dizzy? Aren't your feet hurting? I mean you girls like to wear those high-pointed shoes!"
VP Song got more worried. He felt guilty for stopping her. If he didn't, she could go home early and rest.
Su Yeon smiled and replied, "No, it's not like that Manager Xu. I am perfectly fine," she chuckled and continued, "and I should wear heels, I am a bit short in height. My feet are not paining since we were traveling by Manager Lui's car."
A bulb lit in Manager Han's mind, 'Right, the Heels! She felt tall to me earlier because of the heels. Then she is definitely the short girl whom that Gon was protecting near the factory!'
Manager Xu sighed and said, "You young people and your thoughts! What's wrong in being short?" Su Yeon pouted and replied, "People think that I am still a high school girl."
Manager Han got confused and asked, "Isn't it a compliment? I mean you ladies like it when others call you young." Su Yeon squinted her eyes and objected, "Being called young and being called immature is totally opposite Manager Han."
VP Song laughed at his notorious daughter's reply. He said, "No doubt Chief Hwang always likes to bicker with you. I still remember that presentation day." Su Yeon got embarrassed and pleaded, "Ahh, Professor Song, please don't bring it here."
Manager Xu asked looking at their comfortable interaction, "Vice President, were you acquainted with Intern Yoon before?"
VP Song stopped laughing and said without thinking, "What acquainted? I am her fath…
