"Kim! Where's Kim?"
"What brings you here?"
"You don't know who I am?"
"Excuse me? Who might you be…"
The moment Jeong-eun stepped into the office, she looked at the employee who'd blocked her path with a look of disbelief and gestured to the staffer who'd followed her in.
"Get rid of this one. To think they'd keep someone like this on staff—pathetic, absolutely pathetic."
"You need to make an appointment before coming in. You can't just barge in like this."
"Excuse me? Who do you think you are? Even the likes of you are blocking my way now. Hey! Get rid of him already, will you?"
Jeong-eun's voice grew louder, irritated at having her way blocked.
But the Ilhyeon baseball club staffer didn't back down at Jeong-eun's behavior, and a scuffle broke out with the staffer who'd accompanied her, the commotion growing larger and larger.
As the noise grew, the Ilhyeon baseball club employees turned to look toward the door to see what was happening, and among them was Byeong-jin Jo, who had come up from Jinju.
"What's going on?"
As Byeong-jin Jo stepped forward, Jeong-eun pointed at him, looking pleased.
"Ah, your face looks familiar—I've seen you at the wedding and at Dong-min's first birthday, haven't I?"
"Aren't you President Jeong-eun Lee?"
Byeong-jin Jo, recognizing Jeong-eun, rushed over with a startled look. He was worried Jeong-eun might do something to the employee. So he stepped in front of the employee, gestured for him to leave quickly, and hurriedly asked Jeong-eun, "President, what brings you all the way here?"
"Do you think I came here to watch baseball? Of course I'm here to see Representative Kim. He's inside, isn't he?"
"Yes, he's here. Please, come this way."
Byeong-jin Jo thought that quickly guiding Jeong-eun to Seong-ho's office would be the best way to minimize the disturbance, so he led the way.
Jeong-eun glanced back at the employee who was walking off, but decided meeting Seong-ho was the important thing right now, and put it out of her mind as she headed toward the office where Seong-ho was.
