Chapter 87: Office Romance? (3)

Chapter 87: Office Romance? (3)

Being a newcomer, I wasnt assigned any difficult tasks.

My work mainly involved basic document preparation, updating statistical data, and PowerPoint presentations.

These were tasks I did every day, so I could handle them smoothly without any issues.

By now, I had even become proficient at handling work calls.

Yes, Ill send the document within an hour as requested. We have double-checked it on our end, but the director suggested a cross-check. Should there be any corrections needed, please feel free to call this number. Its alright to contact us even after hours. Yes, have a good day.

After hanging up the phone, I went back to typing on the keyboard.

Han-gyeol, after sending the email, could you try issuing the tax invoice based on this contract?

Yes, sure. Should I issue it using the supply value mentioned in the contract? Is the client already registered?

Ah...? Did I already tell you about this? I was just about to.

I have experience issuing invoices. If the client is registered, Ill issue the invoice using the contracts supply value. But could you review it before issuance?

Of course, Id appreciate your help.

Understood.

As a newbie, its best to just do what youre told. Trying to take initiative prematurely can sometimes lead to mistakes.

After the final review, I sent off the email. Then, before issuing the tax invoice, I carefully read through the contract again.

Um, senior?

Yes, what is it?

Something seems off with this contract.

What part?

The senior colleague seated next to me came closer to look.

The total amount, down payment, and the balance dont add up. The total is stated as 8 million won, but the down payment is 4 million won, and the balance is listed as only 2 million won.

Whoa, that was a close call. Thank you for checking. You havent issued the invoice yet, right?

No, should I hold off for now?

Yes, Ill call the client to redo the contract. Thanks for letting me know.

Sure. Is there anything else youd like me to do?

Not at the moment. If youre looking for something to do

While the senior was speaking, a team leader from behind approached with their chair.

Ah, Han-gyeol, if youre free, could you take a look at this?

Ah- Yes, of course.

Helping the team leader with their work seems like a good idea.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

I moved to look at the team leaders monitor.

Han-gyeol, do you know how to use Excel?

I know the basics.

Could you try to remake this form then?

Sure. How much time can I invest in this?

Well, its not urgent. You can work on it when you have nothing else to do.

Got it. Is there anything in particular I should keep in mind?

Hm, as long as its efficient, any method is fine. But it would be great if it could be a bit more intuitive.

Understood.

As soon as I returned to my seat, I opened the Excel form.

It was constructed with basic formulas, but I saw many areas for improvement. Coding could make it easier, but if any problems arose, there might be no one to fix it, so I decided against it. Instead, I started modifying the form using Excel functions, macros, and VBA I remembered.

It had been a while, and I wasnt sure Id remember, but as I got into it, it went well.

By the time it was quitting time, I had finished revising the form.

It was quite intuitive and easily modifiable if needed.

After uploading the form to the cloud, I informed the team leader.

Ive updated and uploaded the form you mentioned.

Already? That was faster than I expected.

There were only so many applicable changes. I think this is the best I could do.

Thats fine. Ill check it tomorrow morning. Start wrapping up for the day.

Thank you.

A timely departure from work felt like a dream.

Is Eun-has work done?

I glanced over at Eun-ha to see her expression was gloomy, seemingly faced with a problem at the last minute of work.

Seeing Eun-ha so downcast made me want to rush over and help immediately... but not merely as a colleague, but rather as a boyfriend, so I held back. I wanted to take care of her work too, but that would be too much.

Eventually, after six oclock, I left the building with other team members.

Then, just one kiss.

No. Lets go have sushi.

I pulled Eun-has hand closer and said,

Just you wait and see... give it 3 weeks.

So, the chills down my spine recently were because of Eun-ha?

Exactly. In 3 weeks, youll be eaten up quietly. Got it?

Alright.

Entering the sushi restaurant, we ordered salmon and halibut sushi.

Han-gyeol! Lets have some beer.

We have work tomorrow, dont we? How about we just stick to cola?

No. I really feel like having a beer right now.

Perhaps it was a kind of romance that being twenty brings with it. Well, a bottle of beer shouldnt be a problem.

Alright, lets just have one bottle of beer.

Yay! Excuse me, one bottle of beer, please.

Sure. Ill need to check your IDs first, though.

Okay~

Eun-ha showed her ID with a lively expression. After showing mine, we received a bottle of beer.

Theres no bottle opener...

Might as well just use a spoon.

-Pop!

The beer was opened.

What? Did you just open that with a spoon?

Yeah. There was no opener, so...

Hmm, was that a bit too much?

Han-gyeol, have you... ever drunk beer before?

No, no. I just saw it in dramas and tried it, and it worked?! Haha...! Hahaha..! Here, take your glass!

Ah- Okay!

I poured beer into Eun-has glass.

As I was about to pour some for myself, Eun-ha eagerly grabbed the bottle.

Ill pour it for you!

Would you? Then Ill gratefully accept.

I handed her the bottle and lifted my glass. Eun-ha carefully poured the beer and then smiled broadly.

Lets toast, Han-gyeol.

Yeah~ You worked hard today.

You too, Han-gyeol. Cheers~

Cheers~

Our glasses clinked with a clear sound. Watching Eun-ha sip her beer cautiously was incredibly cute.

There wasnt a single thing she did that wasnt adorable.

After gulping down her beer, Eun-ha slightly furrowed her brows and said,

This tastes bad...!

Why is she so cute?

Eun-ha.

What?

I really love you. I love you so much~

Eun-has face slowly turned red at my declaration of love.

Your face is turning red already?

Its the, the alcohol-!

Sure~ Lets go with that~

I then downed the beer Eun-ha poured for me in one go.

The beer tasted sweet.

Did someone sprinkle sugar in it?
