Reasonable Loss - 41

He asked in a surprised voice.

“No! I didn’t resign!”

Eunsoo answered in an equally surprised voice.

“Then what is all this?”

“Oh, it’s not something I’m taking out, it’s something I’m bringing back.”

“At this time?”

“Yes, at this time. I want to put it back immediately.”

“…In pajamas?”

Seongheon glanced at Eunsoo’s attire. The clothes visible beyond the coat were definitely pajamas. The same dark green, soft texture, and sneakers.

None of the coat, pajamas, or sneakers matched. Eunsoo, with good fashion sense due to his design major, coming to work in such an outfit at this time was extremely strange.

With a questioning look, Eunsoo squeezed his eyes shut and then opened them. Then, in a barely audible voice, he mumbled,

“Can you just… not ask anything…”

“Well…, okay. But I’ll ask one more thing.”

“…What is it?”

“It’s clear that you need help right now, right?”

With a gentle voice, Eunsoo weakly nodded. Seongheon smiled and quickly took the box from Eunsoo’s hands.

Eunsoo entered Seongheon’s executive office. Moving in and out of the executive office as well as the chairman’s office. What kind of fate was this?

“Latte?”

Seongheon asked. Eunsoo quickly shook his head.

“No, just water. Warm water.”

Seongheon left the executive office, understanding. Seongheon didn’t know about Eunsoo’s pregnancy. Dokwon had said to only inform his parents for the time being.

Shouldn’t the news of the pregnancy be kept hidden to avoid troublesome issues? Whether the life growing inside Eunsoo is a boy or girl, whether it’s Alpha or Omega, when they started dating and when they plan to get married, or if there is another lover—various rumors would emerge and try to devour Eunsoo.

Thinking back to that time, Eunsoo let out a long sigh.

At that time, she was just happy. She thought Dokwon truly cherished her and their child.

But now, it was fortunate in a different way that the pregnancy wasn’t disclosed. If Dokwon’s memory loss was known, she would be inundated with sympathy and attention.

Eunsoo massaged her tired calves from walking the night streets. Her muscles had become stiff, and her neck was sore, and her eyes were dry.

Whether it was due to the aftereffects of the car accident or her pregnancy, she clearly felt her stamina had decreased a lot. Even if she was an Omega, she wouldn’t have felt tired from such minor things.

Well… there had been too many things today to dismiss as “minor.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if that one thing just disappeared from my sight? So, just… go away.”

As Eunsoo recalled Dokwon’s boiling voice, she let out a long sigh through her nose. The door opened, and Seongheon entered. He placed a cup of hot water in front of Eunsoo.

“Thank you.”

Eunsoo wrapped her hands around the mug. The warmth made her smile automatically.

While Eunsoo drank half of the water, Seongheon sat quietly on the opposite sofa without asking anything. However, though he didn’t speak, he stared at Eunsoo intently, urging her silently.

“Oh, it’s been a while, Executive Director.”

Eunsoo awkwardly smiled and gave a belated greeting.

“Yes, it has been a while. Eunsoo.”
