Chapter 88 – Investigation

Sehun didn’t deny it.
He looked up at her and said, “This is an offer to purchase.
Is Youngjin Construction putting their company for sale then?”

“Overseas orders aren’t coming in, and their domestic growth is stunted.
Rumors were going around, but it’s pretty much set in stone now.
The places that were eyeing the company are going mad.
Taesan Construction sniffed this out and wanted to purchase the company.
They’re asking us to set up the purchase.
They gave a hard blow to Youngjin Construction to crash the price to the ground.
Should I ask Secretary Tak to schedule a meeting with Taesan?”

“After I look through the documents more.
The meeting comes after.
I’ll ask myself.”

Mihee smiled in satisfaction and gathered the handful of papers that Sehun discarded back into its envelope.
She was about to get up to leave.
“Okay.
Then I’ll just let Taesan know that you’ll most likely take the case.
I’ll think on Director Do’s matter and deal with it.
You’ll get busy.
Good luck.”

“Attorney Song, wait.” Sehun blocked Mihee by stretching out his hand as she was getting up.
Mihee naturally sat back down.
She could tell that Sehun had something more to say and stared intently at him.

“What’s up with you, holding back a leaving person? It doesn’t look like it’ll be work-related,” Mihee asked.

“About Yoonshin Do…” Sehun started.

When she heard Yoonshin’s name, Mihee snapped her fingers as if she suddenly remembered.
“Oh, right.
I forgot to mention.
Attorney Do is downstairs on my order.
A client said that they were coming in, and I was supposed to meet them.
The conference room, interview room, and consultation room were all being used and the VVIP room wasn’t available, so he’s in the café on the first floor.
Sorry for using your associate.”

“Client? I didn’t give him a new case.
I was just about to include him in one of my cases.”

“See, he’s a personal client.
My mom’s friend’s youngest son got into an accident.
I couldn’t think of anyone but Attorney Do to take this case.
It’s an impaired driving accident, and he hit someone at the scene.
He was driving slowly, and the accident wasn’t too big.
But the victim is…”

Sehun, who was listening intently so far, could grasp what the situation was about and knit his brow.
If she could only come up with Yoonshin, then it was a case that only he could do.

“An elderly person, pregnant woman, disabled person, or a minor.
Which one?” Sehun asked.

“A minor,” Mihee replied.

As Sehun mused on the answer, Mihee added, “Plus, he was charged with a hit-and-run.
He did return to the scene of the accident shortly after, but he did initially flee the scene.
If Attorney Do agrees to take it, I was thinking of making it pro bono.

“He’ll need to settle.
Money is probably more important than an apology.
This kind of thing suits him.”

“Well, it’s not a tricky case, so I’m sure he can also do the work you give him.”

“I understand.
That’s that, but anyway, about Yoonshin Do…” Sehun glanced at Yoonshin’s room again, but there was a different glint to his eyes.
Mihee’s face also grew complex, unable to grasp why Sehun was peeking at the empty office.
Sehun could feel that Mihee was getting a kick out of this, so he frowned in discomfort.
“Have you, by any chance, heard anything about him getting married?”

“Attorney Do said that he didn’t have a girlfriend when I interviewed him.
Why?”

“I think his sister played matchmaker for him not too long ago.”

Mihee was perplexed—everything Sehun said was so out of the blue.
“This is the first I heard of it… Is Attorney Do getting married?”

“He met a prospective partner.”

“I guess he’s around the age when he would get offered those.
His previous affiliation was the only thing that left much to be desired, but now that he’s in a decent firm… Wait.
Why do you care about that? Did you guys actually—”
