Novel Bin
Chapter 79
"Don’t go far, Suin."
The grip on her hand was firm.
Woo Ilhwa’s eyes, which had lifted to meet hers, were tangled with countless emotions.
Pity and gratitude.@@novelbin@@
Regret and guilt.
"Chairwoman…"
Suin remained silent.
The warmth of Woo Ilhwa’s hands, wrapped tightly around hers, seeped into her skin. Her gaze, shimmering with unshed tears, was gentle.
And yet…
It was confusing.
She had always drawn a clear line between work and personal matters. So surely, don’t go far must have meant that she wanted Suin to remain as her secretary.
That’s why she answered humbly.
"I only did my job…"
But then—
"I’m sorry, Suin."
Woo Ilhwa apologized.
As if cradling something precious, she stroked Suin’s hand with care. Her voice carried a bitter self-reproach.
"I was foolish, lost in my own selfish desires. I let myself be swayed by society’s prejudices. Without you, I make such pathetic mistakes…"
"Chairwoman…"
"I was wrong. I’m so sorry."
She tightened her grip, now holding Suin’s hands with both of hers. Then, with a deep, steady gaze, she asked,
"You were hurt, weren’t you?"
What do you think?
